TRANSvAAL WAR ITEMS.

A report from Platlxop says that the
British engaged the Beers all day long
on the l4th. Scouts and mounted in
fantry moving north located the Beers
1000 strong, occupying the ridge from
which they were driven the day before.
Thorneycroft's men held the ridge fac
ing them. Members of the Strathcona
horse were driven in temporarily by a
heavy muslxetry fire. After stub
born resistance the Beers forced the
British to bring the howitzers into ac-
ton. The Beers opened fire in all di-
rections, Smelling with the guns posted
on the British right. A gun posted on
an intrenchcd kopje four miles to the
east, forced the Beers from a number
of ridges, detached parties retiring on
the center, while gun on the right
was withdrawn through ravine to-
ward an intrenched hill.
Gen. Rundle's rapid advance has, it
is said, forced the Beers into an OBJ
viously bad corner. President Steyn
Is reported to have given up all hope
after the loss of Bethlehem, and would
have surrendered, but Gen. DeWet
threatened to shoot him, and it is be-
lieved Steyn was imprisoned in his own
dagger. Capt. Driscoll of ID" scouts,
who went alone to Zuringkrantz to
view the Boer position, was surprised
at breakfast on the l4th by four Boer
scouts. He picked up his rifle and
commanded them to surrender or he
would shoot. The four at once sur
rendered, although Driscoll was 10
miles away from the main body of
scouts and close to large Boer force.
1t is understood that johannesburg
will be the temporary capital of the
Orange River and Transvaal colonies.
1t will also be made the high commits
sioners' headquarters. When the set
Element is finally completed, it is be-
lieved that Bloemfontein will become
the capital of South Africa and the
residence of the encouragement. The
governors of the colonies will reside at
Cape Town, Pietermaritzburg and Jo-
hannesburg.
