where the other road to Ladysmith
crosses the hills, the British advanced
from low kOpjes on the banks of the
Tugela unmolested. Then they enter
ed the zone of Mauser fire and al
though their naval guns kept up the
usual terrible racket, the advance was
stopped and the British had to count
out their dead and wounded.
Commandant Viljoen and two Burgh-
ers were knocked senseless by an ex-
plosion of lyddite, but Commandant
Viljoen recovered. Field Cornet He'll
bron was wounded and on refusing to
surrender, was shot.
The British loss was probably in
significant. They complain that ex-
pansive bullets in Mausers were found
in the field and soft-nosed bullets with
Lee-Metfords. The Beers admit that
sporting Mausers were occasionally
found, but they deny the charge re-
specting expansive bullets. Not a shot
was fired by the Beers with cannon or
rife at the Swart Kop position this
side of the river. One thousand infant
ry and a battery advanced into the
second row of hills between the re-
publicans and the river. Heavy can
nonading proceeded at a range of 1000
yards, but the Beers maintained the
silence of death. This must have stag
gered the British, as the advance was
stopped and this morning they had
retired to their old position.

BOER CAMP, UPPER TUGELA
RIVER, SUNDAY, January 21.-The
British now occupy three positions
along the Tugela river. Their naval
gums have been firing steel-pointed,
armor-piercing shells.
Reports being received that 1000
British cavalry were attempting to out
flank us along the Drakensberg ridge,
Mistaking the signals the scouts and
patrol proceeded to a kopje, from which
a terrific rife and maxim gun fire sud-
denly opened. The Beers lost fourteen
men killed and twenty wounded. The
British loss was probably Insignificant.
The bombardment of the Boer posi-
tions from Swartzkop was resumed yes
terday chiefly from a battery across the
river. In the afternoon the cannon

der cover thereof the infantry advanced
in three lines to a second row of little
kopjes, which they occupied at night
fall, but later they retired to their old
position. During the night a score of
shells were fired by the British and a
balloon was sent up to spy out the Boer
positions.
The naval guns resumed the bonn
bardment this morning from a new po-
sition but without results.
The three positions are the old CHEVY
eley camp, near Colenso, the central
position at Swartzkop Drift, where they
hold

BADLY DAMAGED.
Big Steamship st. Paul Strikes a SUBJ
merged Wreck in MidOcean-
Everybody Safe.

New York, Nov. 5.-The steamship
ST. Paul, of the American line, Capt
Roberts in command, arrived in port
Sunday, "a hours late, with her star
board propeller gone and her engine
room badly damaged. Statements of
different officials vary as to the cause
of the accident. but the damage sus-
tanned by the steamship will prob
ably amount to several hundred thou
sand dollars. The St. Paul left
Southampton and Cherbourg on Oc-
tober 81 with "a full cargo, 316 cabin
passengers and 245 in the steerage.
About eight o'clock on the evening Of
Wednesday last, while some of the
saloon passengers were still at din
ner, and other passengers promenad-
ing, a sudden shock was felt all over
the ship, although it was not suffi-
GENTLY severe to cause panic. The
engines were stopped in a few seconds
after the shock, but it is said that
during that brief time the whirl-
ing machinery, free of the weight Of
the propeller, wrought havoc in the
engine-room. The officials of the
steamship refuse to allow anyone to
enter the engine-room.
Capt. Roberts and Chief Engineer
John Hunter are under the impress
sion that the ship struck derelict.
She was running at full speed at the
time, but was not overtaxing her en-
gines. Chief Engineer Hunter, at the
moment of the accident, happened to
be passing through the pantry, and
Immediately turned the emergency
valve, thus shutting off the steam.
About the same time the assistant en-
gineer happened to be in the vicinity
of the tail shaft when the propeller
struck something and dropped off,
carrying with it a portion of the tail
shaft which broke just inside the
stern of the ship The governing ma
chinery worked splendidly, and the
engines were brought to full stop
in ten seconds. The ST. Paul will leave
on Tuesday for the Cramps shipyard,
Philadelphia, where the necessary re-
pairs will be made. One of the en-
gineers of the ST. Paul made the fol-
lowing statement:
"It will take five months to repair the
damage which is to the extent of from
$3.50, 900 to $500, 0O0 The starboard engine is
a wreck. The ship did rot strike a dere-
lict but an unusually big sea struck her,
throwing the stern out of the water, and
the propellers having no resistance, made
frightfully rapid revolutions, which caused
the starboard engine to race, and the star
board tail shaft broke in two, and with the
wheel fell into the water. The amount Of
| damage done is not surprising, when you
take into consideration the sudden liberia
ton OF 10000 horsepower. Four of the six
cylinders are completely wrecked, two
piston rods are bent, one connecting rod
is bent and the starboard engine shaft is
sprung six inches. The starboard engine
is wrecked beyond repair.''
