Retreat From L~adysmith Due 10 a
Communicates Mistake.
Boer Camp, Biggersberg. Saturday,
March 3.-The federals have fallen
back on the Biggersberg chain that
crosses Natal south of Dundee. The
retreat from Ladysmith was due to
the mistake of a certain commandant
in ordering his men to retire from the
key OF the position without any rea-
son for the move. On the receipt of
bad news from Modder river, Wednes-
dya, it was resolved to send the wag-
ons back to Biggersberg, and soon
long strings of OK wagons lined the
roads.
Over u thousand wagons took the
westerly route to the laager south
west of Ladysmith. Another convoy
was sent to the foot of the Drakens-
burg. A large number of tents, cap
tured from the British at Dundee, anu
also the ammunition, were abandoned
The chief difficulty was in dismount-
ing Long yom."

PLAGUE IN SAN FRANCISCO.
The Police HIVE Thrown n Strict
Quarantine Gordon Around the
Chinese Quarter.

San Francisco, March 7.-Health Of
ficer A. p. O'Brien is the authority for
the statement that bubonic plague has
at last got a foothold in the United
States.
A suspicious death occurred in the
Chinese quarter, Tuesday evening, and
upon making an examination of the
corpse the health officer declared that
the coolie had died of the true bu.
bonic plague.
Immediately upon the announce.
ment, the police of the city were or,
dered in the quarter, and at midnight
300 patrolmen had cleared it of al
whites and established a Gordon about
the $4,000 Chinese therein.
The pest is supposed to have beer
brought here from Honolulu by ont
of the t~ranspacific steamers.
