exception to Siler's charges regarding

Siler himself has found out that it IS

on Track of Them.

washington, Jan. 19.-Mr. Choate IS
prosecuting his efforts to learn just
where the provisions are that were
seized off Delagoa Bay on the Ma
shona, the Maria and the Beatrice.
He has reported that the goods on the
Maria are in the custom house at Dur
ban, subject to the disposition of the
owners. The goods carried on the Ma
shona are believed to be still on board
that ship at Cape Town, but owing to
imperfections in the ships papers it
has not yet been possible to clear up
the facts in that case. The Beatrice
is at East Liverpool and the British
government is trying to learn from it's
officers the status of the cargo.

STORIES OF RoER WAR

New York, Feb. 2.-The Post prints the
following
A PRIVATE ON BOER TACTICS.
Private G. Shallow, of the B Company.
First Suffolk Regiment, writing to his
parents. says:
We are at Naauwpoort. waiting till our
brigade is fully horsed- Il would be all
right if the Beers would come out and
fight, but they won't move till compelled.
No one knows what sort of a country
this is unless they've been here. The
hills are not so much ia height as in
number. and the enemy run from one to
another when shelled or charged, and as
fast as you can turn them out Of one hid
ing place they are at the back Of shelter
on another hill. I don't know how We
should go on if It was not for cavalry
and artillery. The women think the Eng
fish are all being killed; they'll think
differently when they know their own
kith and kin are lying on the veldt dead.
The lies are simply TO keep the Free
Staters fighting When they know the
truth they'll give up.
