proaches thereto, and on February 26,

ticable, l crossed the guns and bag
gage back to the south side of the
Tugela, took up the pontoon bridge
Monday night and relayed it at the
new site, which is just below the pres
emit marked cataract. Gen. Barton
with two battalions of the Sixth brig
AIDE and Dublin Fusileers crossed about
a mile and half down the banks OF
the river. assembled an almost perpen-
dicular cliff about 500 feet, assaulted
and carried the top of Peters hill.
This hill, to a certain extent, turned
the enemy's left, and the Fourth brig
AIDE, under Colonel Norcott, and the
Eleventh brigade, Colonel Kitchener
commanding. and the whole under
the command of General Warren, as
sailed the enemy's position. which was
magnifcently carried by the South
Lancashire regiment about sunset.
We took about sixty prisoners and
scattered the enemy in all directions.
There seems to be still a considerable
body of them left on and under Bull

not large.

Heavy Losses.

British Compelled to Retreat With
Heavy Losses.
CoLENso, Feb. .25.-In the attempt of
the Innislsillings Friday evening to
rush the Boer position on. Peters Hill,
the Roer fire was SO terrible, when the
infantry emerged from the cover of the
trees, that almost every man in the
leading half of the company fell
wounded. The advance line of the
British reached donga in front of the
first Boer trench, which was not APP
parent until they were actually in it..
The Beers retired to the crest and
then returned on either flank of the
Inniskillings, enfilading the captured
donga with terrible cross-fire. Find
ing it impossible to advance or to hold
the position. the British fell back and
entrenched themselves half way up the
hill. The Beers maintained a heavy
fire. In the course of the night, the
Dublin fusileers and the Connaughts
arriving to support the Innisl1illings,
another attempt was made to take the
Boer position. This also failed. A
heavy fire lasted through the night.
The Inniskillings lost fourteen out of
seventeen officers killed and wounded,
and about 25Onon-commissione officers
and men killed and wounded. Gen.
Lyttleton's brigade relieved General
Harris brigade in the morning and the
artillery duel was continued yesterday
Saturday. though no great damage
was done. To-day an armistice was
agreed upon to enable both sides to
collect their dead and wounded. The
Beers admit having had very heavy
losses. but they scout the idea that the
British will compel them to raise the
siege of Ladvsmith. -

The suit OF the Chicago Tribune com

wolves questions of fact as we'll as pr1n-

Importance. 1t is charged, in the first
place, that the Associated Press has
been appropriating news purchased by
the complainant from the London
Times under a special contract and

however, is fatty denied by the defend
ant. It is claimed by the Associated

LONDON, Feb. 24.-Ladysmith had
not been relieved when the latest news
left Natal two days ago. The Beers
had then retired half way between
Ladysmith and Colenso. If only 5000
went to the Free State, as both the
Boer and British accounts assert, the
