BOERS IN FULL RETREAT.

Hurrying into the Orange Free State as
Fast as Possible.
London. March G-The Beers in
northern Cape Colony are in full re-
treat to the Orange Free State. The
possession of Stormberg puts General
Gatacre in railroad communication
with General Clements ut Colesberg,
for though the Beers partially wrecked
the railroad it is understood that il
can be quickly repaired and thus the
entrance of additional British troops
into the Free State will be greatly ia
cilitated. From Osfontein, where
Field Marshal Lord Roberts is opposed
by a good sized body of Beers, there is
still no news except reports of minor
skirmishes.
The position gained by General Bra
| bant at Dordrecht is reported to be ex-
ceedingly strong. According to The
Times correspondent, the Boer num-
bers alone enabled them to retreat
from DOrdrecht practically unhin-
dered. He also reports n violation of
the white flag by the Beers. and thar
they deliberately fired at close range
on Il stfetcher party.
General Whites garrison has begun
to leave Ladysmith and is arriving at
the Moot river camp, where the troops
will remain several days, after which
they will go further south. They are
emaciated and exhausted and say the
road to COlenso presents scenes that
exceed in horror those depicted in
Dante'S Inferno" Dead men and ami
mails are lying. mutilated and purified,

the Beers and fill the air with n sick

London, March 6.-The war office
has received the following dispatch
from Lord Roberts:
"Osfontein, March 6.-General Cat
acre occupied Stormberg yesterday.
The lines of railway north and west
will now be repaired. General Gle
ments is at Jouberts Siding station,
beyond COlesberg. The Duke of MARI
borough, with the Oxford company Of
the Imperial Yoemanry, has left Cape
Town for Naauwpoort.
General Butler reports Natal now
practically clear of the enemy and that
he cannot hear of any formed body
of them anywhere. The Beers left
some ambulances full of their sick
from which the mules had been taken
for transport service"
Brabant Captures Boer Fort.
A dispatch dated Dordrecht March
8, says: Following yesterdays sue
cess General Brabant again engaged
the Beers today with advantage, hold
ing the position captured yesterday.
There was some smart fighting this
morning, the British losing five or six
men and capturing the Boer fort, thus
vastly improving their position. The
Beers fought tenaciously, contesting
every inch of the ground, but ulti-
mately they retreated suddenly, carry
ing off their guns and wagons. A
mounted force pursued them but the
result is not yet known. The British
casualties during the two days were
twelve or thirteen killed and thirty
wounded. The Boer losses are un
known. Throughout the arduous fight.
ing and severe fatigue the colonials
have behaved splendidly."

LOST WITH A CATTLE SHIP.
Six Cattle Men and Crew of Planet Mer-

Six Cattle Men and Crew of Planet Mer-
curry Find Death I'm the Waves.
Boston, March 6.-Wreckage picked
up off the Nova Scotian coast indicates
almost to n certainty that the cattle
ship Planet Mercury of the Elder
Dempster line has been lost with all
hands. In addition to her crew she
carried the following named cattle
men: j. w. O'Brien, Toronto, Ont; j.
w. Carey who was going home to Ire
land; Benjamin Bowdoin, Canada; Pc
ter Elder, Canada; j. Ii. Smith, Bos-
ton; John M'Hale, Ireland.
The Planet Mercury left Portland,
Me-, Feb. II. She was under a three
months charter by the Elder-Demp-
ster line and was under command Of
Captain Pye. She carried a miscellane-
Gus cargo valued at 100000, but no
passengers except the cattlemen. The
wreckage includes life-preserver
marked with the name of the ship, a
life raft, sailors chest, steamers
hatch, scantling, pieces Of q ships
house, broken oars and box shocks all
of which came ashore at West Pubni-
co, near Yarmouth.
1t is agreed that the vessel went to
pieces \on the ledge at West PubnicO
fully ten days ago, and as nothing has
been heard from any member of the
crew ii is certain that none of them es
capped death in the sea. None of the
wreckage gave clew to the name of
the ship until the life buoy was picked
up on the beach.
