Beers msmmsd In BY British.

The news from South Africa seems to
point to early and decisive fighting in the
Roode Bergen north of Basutoland, where
the dispatches state that Gen. De Wet is
now completely hemmed in by the British.
The valley in which his whole force is
laagered is described as having five out
lets, two of which are now blocked, while
British troops were moving up to close the
three remaining passes. Gen. De Vets
force is variously estimated at from 600O
to 10000. The situation is extremely
critical for the Free Staters, and it will be
very interesting to see what the denoue-
ment will be.

Fifteen Live. Los, In storm in T.1a.

Fifteen Lives Lost In storm In Texas.
Fifteen lives were lost in cloudburst at
Coleman, Texas, Monday. Ten bodies
have been recovered, but only two were
identified. :. 1t is feared that many more
lives were lost in the valley below Cole
man. The cloudburst, which followed
three days unprecedented rainfall, caused
Ford's creek to burst its banks and rush
through Coleman, village of less than
1000 inhabitants. Bewildered citizens,
reused from their slumbers, rushed into
the streets and were swept away. Many
were saved by catching hold of pieces of
timber and navigating them into eddies
formed by the swift current, where they
were drawn ashore. Spath and Foules-
ten, leading merchants, managed to mount
their horses They dashed into the water
and swan their horses to a house, where
four little girls were screaming for help.
Each rescued two of the children, whom
they took upon their horses. The animals
were swept away, however, in an effort to
stem the swift current, and all were drown
ed. The bodies of the men were recover
ed. Water has flooded the tracks of the
Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railway for
miles around, and all traffic is stopped.
