ANGL0-BOER WAR SITUATION
THE british RETIREMENT FROM
THE COLESBERG DISTRICT.
Not Regarded as More Than Menace
Weakened the British Defensc-Rob-
erts' Com un ications Threatened
Butler May Soon Strike Again-Eighth
Division Ordered to Prepare to go to
the Front,


London, Feb. 14.-42o a. m.--The
news of the day is the enforced retire
ment Of the British from the Colesberg
district, under heavy Boer pressure
and probably after brisk fighting. Thus,
at time when Lord Roberts is appar-
emily about to push an army into the
Free State, the Beers make a counter
stroke in an unknown, but seemingly
great force, not far from the vital line
of the railway connecting DeAar and
Orange river.
as more than a menace Nevertheless
the news produces an unpleasant i'm
preston here. General French had
manoeuvred the Beers out and over
Rensburg in December On January
it. was reported that he could take
Colesberg in two days with reinforce
ments. These were sent, but the Beers
were also reinforced. Since then the
British lines have been extended east
and west, so that at the opening of this
week JNSy constituted d STedt upISe-
shoe, twenty-five miles in length. All
the strong positions were held.
General French, when he Joined Lord
Roberts, presumably took most of his
cavalry. General Clements was left
with the infantry to hold the Beers in
check; but Commandant Delarey, with
o double turning movement, has COM
PEELED the British to concentrate at
Rensburg, besides threatening Lord
Roberts communications
The Boer mastery of the district has
caused spread of the insurrection, but
this no doubt will be promptly re-
pressed, as large British forces are
available not far away.
The Indications as to General Bull
ler's immediate intentions are CONTRA
dictory. One informant who has inti-
mate relations with the war office pre-
diets a movement within the next two
days. A number of correspondents who
have been with General Butler, however, |
have gone to Durham for few days
rest, under the impression that nothing
is to be done Immediately. The war Of
fee has directed the Eighth division of |
10000 men to prepare to go out.

Shooting Accident.

Walter Martin, eldest son of Fred
Martin, was seriously wounded while
hunting last Sunday afternoon north
of Anthony Marshall's. He had just
passed through fence and was being
followed by Fred Craghill, when the
latters shot gun, choke bore Win
chester, was accidently discharged,
the entire charge entering his body in
the buttock near the rectum, and
ranging downward. The gun was so
close that not shot scattered, the
charge cutting an almost perfectly
round hole about q inches in diameter
through his clothing and making a
gaping wound about the same size,
from which was extracted probably
the entire charge of shot, including
the three wads and the circular piece
of clothing cut away by the charge.
Fortunately for the boy he had his
| LEG raised for stepping over stump,
just as the gun was discharged, and
the shot followed the hexing of the
muscles downward. Had he been
standing still the charge would have
probably passed upward and resulted
fatally. Drs. Scripture and Buck were
called to attend to the case as soon as
he was brought to town, and they re
port him as doing very nicely, anc
look for rapid recovery should nc
unforeseen circumstance occur.
