just as nice as ever. I haven't had one sick minute since the day was shot and hope will not have any. I wish I could say the same of my comrades. But there is more or less sickness here among my friends. Yes, fever is quite prevalent here. A great deal of it is due, l think, from eating this tropical fruit and drinking dirty water.
 In regard to fruit, that is one thing that is plentiful here All you have to do Is to go out in the yard and pick bananas and oranges to your liking. But now 1t IS against the orders of the provost marshal to take anything off the trees now. We have to buy of the natives and oh, we must treat them with respect and kindliness and all such fol-de-rol. It is enough to make ones headache to see some of the nonsense you have to put up with.
 Well, I'll have to close now as my time is limited and go on guard.
 Your sincere friend,

-------------------- ---'------------- CENSUS OF HORTICULTURE

| Washington, D. C., Jan. 16.-Ow- 1 ing to the unusual intelligence Of | florists as class, and the fact that the
 census office requires relate almost en-
 tirely to the year 1899, a plan has been l formed for taking an early census of
 Horticulture by mail on special sched-
 ules, and to tabulate and publish the
 returns thereof early, while other | branches of the great work of enuner- ation are in progress.
 | There are approximately 10,50O for ists in the United States. The names
 and addresses of majority of them
 have been secured and classified by
 the division of Agriculture in the Cen sus, Office, and each known proprietor will soon receive copy of the special schedule devoted to his interest. It will be accompanied by list (so, far as ascertained) of all the florists in his section, to be by him corrected, ad- ded to and returned to the department for use in making the record complete and reliable.
 This special schedule is not elabor- ate or complicated. It may be filled out easily and quickly by any florist who keeps a reasonably accurate run of his business. It asks for the GS99) acreage devoted to Horticulture and of crop each crop or variety of plants and flowers the total area in square feet under glass and the area of each crop or variety of flower or plant raised hereunder; the number of persons en- ployed and the total wages paid to them; the amount expended for cata- logues, postage, and fertilizers. respec- lively, and the gross receipts from. the sales in each subdivision of the busi- ness.
 No private individuals will be per- mitted to have access to the schedules after they have been filled out and re- turned, nor will the names of persons or firms giving information be publish ed in the census report. Figures only will be used and published, and the entire process and record of gathering information will be confidential.
 As the law requires the regular emu merators to obtain certain information as to tenure, value, etc., during their visits in June, the next census of Flori- culture, if the florists themselves shall be prompt. and conscientious in filling out and returning the special schedules soon to be sent to them. will be the most perfect in history.
 They will beSput to no expense, as the necessary stationery with en- velopes properly franked, will. be pro- yided for their use

GEN EULER ADVANCE
Continued from First Page. ,,

Continued from First Page.O two squadrons of light horse arrived upon the scene; and the TWenty-first
 battery of the Royal Field Artillery,
 under Major Blewitt came into action,
 preventing the storming party being
 reinforced from the Boer camp. At the
 Same moment the Eighteenth Hussars
 and the Fifth Lancers commenced the
 movement from the spruit on our right
 flank. Nevertheless our position at this
 point had become critical Our men
 had retired for cover behind the north-
 ern slope, while the enemy had made
 their way into the pass dividing them
 from the hill. Major Bowen rallied a
 few of the rifles, but fell while leading
 them to the charge. His example was
 at once followed by Lieutenant Tod; but the latter met the same fate
 "The enemy were making good the footing they had already secured in the
 emplaoement, when Major Miller Wal mutt, calling the scattered Gordons to- gether charged in and drove them back
 Having thus cleared the ground he joined Lieutenant Digby Jones in
 newly prepared emplacement on the western shoulder. A pause ensued for time, but the Boers were not yet finally beaten. Taking advantage of the storm now raging, they essayed to capture the position by another rush. Three of their leaders reached the para pet, but were shot down by Lieutenant Digby Jones and Lieutenant Walnut, the latter of whom also fell. The re- newed check effectuaAy discouraged the assailants, and the deadly duel was now practically at an end. New ertheless small parties of the braver spirits kept up murderous fire on our men from behind the rocks"
 "The moment had evidently arrived to strike the final blow, and Colonel Park quickly issued the necessary or ders Three companies of Devonshires led by Captain Lafone, Lieutenant Field and Lieutenant Masterson, made a brilliant charge across the open un- der terrific fire and fairly hurled the enemy down the hill at the point of the bayonet. In the charge of the struggle Captain Lafone and Lfeuten- ant Field were killed. and Lieutenant Masterson received no fewer than ten wounds.
 This was fitting close to a strug- gle that had lasted sixteen hours, dur ing which every rifle and gun had been brought to bear. Our position was now secure. The attacks on the north and east had also een1repulsed, and the grand assault had failed all along the line. The Boers lost heavily They admit the engagement was the most severe blow their arms had sustained since the opening of the campaign | They were confident of their ability to capture the town and had called upon | from Colenso to assist | 1t the expected victory. Our losses 1 also were considerable Early in the | morning the Earl of Ava was mortally | wounded while acddmnfpanying Colonel Ian Hamilton to the scene of action. The garrison can now await the com- ng of relief with renewed confidence"

MOLINEUx RECOGNIzED.
Positively ldcntifie ed ms Man That Hired
 Private Letter Boxes.


 New York, Jan. 17,--Nicholas Heck mann went on the stand at the poison trial to-day and positively identified Ro- land B. Molineux as the man who had hired a letter box from him at No. 257 West Forty second street under the name of H. C. Barnet. He said that he had known Molineux for at least five years, and that he had seen him at least 150 times. He said the box was rented on May 27, 1898, and that he bad given mail to Molineux twenty times
 During a severe cross examination MT. Weeks brought out the fact that a newspaper had agreed to pay Heck mann $350 if he could identify Molineux as his customer He told of a visit which he made with 8 reporter to the factory in Newark where Molineux was employed and of a positive Identification which he made of the defendant as "H c. Barnet The witness said that Mol ineux almost fainted when he called on him and that the defendant left imme- diately, saying that he did not want to talk to newspaper men.
 Asked by MT. Osborne if any one had given him cent or offered him cent in connection with the case, he replied in the affirmative. MT. Osborne inquir- ed whether it was for the identification of Molineux, and Heckmann answered, "No." Then MT Osborne inquired, Tt was the other way, wasn't it?" Yes" was the reply of the witness. "It was MT. Walsh" MT. Weeks thundered an objection and the recorder refused to al- low this line of questioning to continue. J. c. Walsh is said to have been inter- ested in extradition proceedings brought some months ago for the purpose of se- curing the removal of Heckmann to Tennessee as an escaped convict. Heck mann proved that he had never been in Tennessee. Recorder Golf impressively cross- examined the witness, questioning him closely as to whether he had ever been promised anything or offered any inducements to testify as he had, but the denial of the witness was clear and emphatic. Finally the recorder said: You are positive that you have made no mistake when you say that this de- fendant is the man who rented a letter box of you in the name of H. c. Bar net?' II am. l know that I am right was the reply.
 The only other witness examined to- day was Joseph Koch, also owner of a private letter box alleged to have been used by the defendant. Koch identified an envelope which contained letter re- ceived by him at his place of business for "I Cornish The letter was from the Von Mohl company of Cincinnati, The witness was cross-eXamined and gave a detailed description of the man who rented the private letter box under the name of Fl.
