CAPTURE OF JACoBsDAL.


British Found the Place Full of
Wounded-Wagon Train Attacked.
JACoBsDAL. Orange Free State. Feb.
15.-Jacobsdal is now in possession of the
British. A small cavalry patrol yesterday
entered and found 1T full of wounded, in
Guiding several British from Rensberg.
The place was occupied by only small
force, which fell back before the patrol
after a series of small skirmishes. bat
terry of artillery shelled the environs and
drove out the last of the Beers.
Early this morning large force of Beers
from Colesberg, with ten guns. attacked
convoy of 200 wagons at the Riet river,
shelling vigorously and doing damage. But
sufficient reinforcements have been sent
hence, and it is hoped they will bring in
the whole convoy in safety.
General French's division seized three
drifts on the Modder river. At the third
drift the Beers were fairly strongly in
trenched. General French bombarded
them and drove them off. To-day he moved
rapidly in the direction of Kimberley.
The Beers have left Alexandersfontein,
which the British now occupy.
General Roberts is in excellent health
ana SplTltS. lie HdruSnlp anu Tdplu IldTcu-
ing appear to agree with the whole army.
who are in splendid spirits under the lead
ership of "Bobs.''
Later.-The road between Modder river
and Jacobsdal is now open. The distance
is only nine miles. The road is available
for sending reinforcements and supplies.
When the Beers evacuated Jacobsdal
they were obliged to pass over a ridge,
where they afforded splendid mark for
the British guns. which showered shrap-
mel upon the retreating enemy.
The convoy which was attacked at Riet
river had been countermanded. but the or
der did not arrive in time and the exper-
fence was q very warm one, although the
Beers did little material damage.
AS General French pushed forward
toward Kimberley he found the beleaguer-
ing Beers deserting their position at Alex
andersfontein, thus allowing q portion Of
the Kimberley garrison to occupy the
place.

600 YAQUIs CAPTURED.
Mexfcans VIII Educate Them and
Send Them Back to Their Tribe.

MANZANILLO, Mexico, Feb. 16.-The
Mexican gunboat Oaxaca has arrived here
from the mouth OF the Guaymas river with
600 Yaqui Indian prisoners on board. They
were captured in the battle fought about
three weeks ago near Mazocoba- The pris-
oners will be taken to Guadalajara and
there distributed to various interior cities.
They will not be confined in prisons, but
will be kept under surveillance for few
years until they have become educated in
the habits of the Mexican people. when
they will be allowed to return TO their tribe
and impart their newly acquired knowl-
edge to their -tribesmen.
When the Oaxaca left the Yaqui river
the government troops were making good
progress towards subjecting the rebels.
General Torres had divided his command
and the two armies were to advance into
the Yaqui country from two different
points. No official confirmation Is obtain
able as to the governments losses in the
recent battles, but it is reported there were
over 400 In killed and wounded. 1t Is
claimed that the Yaquis lost 200 killed.
about 300 wounded and 600 captured.

LONDON, Feb. 17.-Kimberley
has been relieved, and the British
are pursuing General Cronje and
his army of Beers, who are prob
ably trying to reach Bloemfontein,
the capital of the Orange Free
State. This is the most important
development in South Africa in
the past twenty-four hours, and il
has caused joy throughout Eng.
land. Gen. French, who entered
Kimberley with his flying column,
found all well, rested one night
and then pushed on after the re-
treating Beers.
An unconfrmed report says Gen.
Butler has again crossed the Tu.
gela, probably near Colenso.
There has been severe fighting
near Rensburg.
