to the president to raise the total to

SEA GAVE Up ITS DEAD.

Monticello Recovered.
UPWARD OF TaiRTY REPORTED LOST
Eemains of the Unfortunates In
Terribly Battered state, Making
IuenIlficatIun DifiiculU-De-
LaIIs Of the Disaster.

Yarmouth, n. s., Nov. 12.-The shore
of TINS country tor 10 miles east anu
west is strewn with the wreckage OF
the hull and cargo OF the steamer City
Of Monticello, which foundered Satur-
day, and 20 bodies OF victims OF the
disaster have been recovered from the
sea, which is still raging with terrific
fury.
Many people have assembled at
Rockville, near where the first body
came ashore, and numerous relatives
of members OF the crew, who nearly
all belonged to points on this coast,
have arrived to identity the dead. The
bodies were arranged in a room in the
public hall, and Coroner Fuller, who
held an inquest, gave an opinion of ac'
cid, tai drowning. All the bodies are
terribly battered.
The first body was found at daylight,
when the zinc lifeboat, which was sup
posed by the survivors of the first boat
to have been swamped, was discovered
on the shore. A few yards distant
were the bodies of Mr. Eldridge, a pas
senger; Second Engineer Poole; Mr..
Fripp, a traveller for McGee's Sons Of
st. John, N. B., and the body of a sea-
man. All four had belts around them.
At short intervals along the beach IL
more bodies were found. They had ali
evidently come ashore in the li.eboat
and were killed on striking the beach,
not one escaping. The body of Cap
tain Harding Of the Monticello has
been found at Picnic's Point, encircled
with a life belt and fully dressed.
In one of the worst gales of the sea-
son along Nova Scotia's coast the Var
wheel steamer Monticello struck a reef
four miles off Chegoggin port and sank
among the breakers. The passengers
and crew numbered 81, and all but
four are reported drowned. The City
of Monticello makes weekly trips be-
tween Halifax n. S., and st. John, n.
B., calling at Yarmouth and other
ports The steamer was lost about 10
miles from Yarmouth on her way
there from ST. John. She left the lat
ter port just as the storm was spring
ing up. She made her way across the
Bay of Fundy in the face of the fierce
southeaster and was four miles off
CheggOggin point on one of the capes
in the vicinity of Yarmouth when the
storm got the better OF her.

Engagrments-A Bold Charge.

London, Nov. 12.--Lord Roberts tel
sgraphing from Johannesburg under
late of Nov. s, reports to the war OF
ice as follows
General Knox states that he takes
40 credit for the successful engage
ment of Nov. 6, which was due in the
Lrst instance to the determination of
LaGallais never to lose touch with the
9nemy, and secondly, t. the able way
n which DeLisle handled the firing
line after LeGalla;s ana Ross were
wounded. Smith-Dorr4n reports that
The two days fighting mentioned was
very hard. His force consisted OF 20
mounted troops from the Fifth Ian
GERS, the Royal Canadian Dragons and
Mounted Rifles, two Royal Canadian
artillery guns, four guns of the Eighty
fourth battery and 900 infentry of the
Suffolks and Shropshires.
The Beers were met soon after start
ing from Belfast and hung on the front
tanks and rear until the Komati river
was reached where they stood at a
very strong position. From this they
were forced to retire by wide turning
movement by the Soffolks and the
Canadian mounted troops around their
flank. All the first day Boer signal
fires were lighted in all directions and
before morning they were strongly re-
inforced. Our casualties the first day
were six killed and 20 wounded chiefly
Of the Shropshires, who fought splen-
didly. The next day the Beers tried to
seize the strong position on the bank
Of the Komati from which they were
beaten Nov. 6, but were prevented b.
Colonel Evans, with the Canadian
mounted troops and two of the Eighty
fourth guns, galloping two miles and
selling it in the nick of time. The
rear on the return march was defend
ed by Colonel Lessard with the Cana
dian Dragons and two Royal Cana
dian guns under Lieutenant Morrison.
In the afternoon an event uprece-
dented in this war occurred. Some 200
mounted Beers suddenly charged the
rear guard to within 70 yards, when
they were stopped by the Canadian
Dragons. During the fight 16 of the
Canadians fell into the hands of the
enemy who treated them kindly and
released them after removing their
own dead and wounded, during which
operations the Canadians were COM
PEELED to lie on their faces in order
that they might not see how heavily
the Beers had suffered. Our casualties
were two killed and 12 wounded.
