TO GO TO ST. HELENA.
Cronje and His Army 10 be Trans
ported.

London, March S.-The military au-
thorities have decided TO transport Gen
eral Cronje and the Beers captured with
him to St. Helena, to remain till the
close Of the war. This has definitely
been stated in the house of commons,
says The Morning Post, and The Daily
News confirms the report.
Twenty-Five of Cronje's officers arrived
at Simon's Town last night, and they
were sent aboard the Monaghan. -Four
transports, with 300 Boer prisoners,
are now anchored off Simon's Town, and
there are 500 prisoners in camp at that
place. Lord Roberts has chosen Lord
Bathurst, colonel of a militia regiment at
the front, to command the escort to St.
Helena, which was last month placed in
cable communication with Cape Town
and London.
1t is also asserted that the cabinet has
resolved neither to propose nor to enter
tain proposals at the present juncture

Liquor Licenses, s1,ooo.ooo Each,

Marshfeld Mass, March S.-The citi-
zens of this town, once the home of Dan
lei Webster, apparently possess some of
the humor for which the great statesman
was noted. The municipality has only
about 500 voters, and on election day the
majority of those who cast their ballots
on the license question voted yes for
the first time in the history of Marsh
field. After the result of the count had
been announced one of the town meeting
orators arose and proposed that $4,000
be appropriated to maintain order in
view of the riotous times which he pre-
dicted would result from the sale of
liquor. The motion was passed, but not
until some practical joker had made an
amendment that only $500 be taken from
the town funds and that the other $4,000
be taken from the money realized from
the sale of licenses and that the price of
each license be 81 100000.

THE RED ASH DISASTER.
Thirty-four Bodies Taken From
Wrecked Mine.

Thurmond, w. Va, March S.-The
work of rescuing the bodies from the Red
Ash coal mine continues. Thirty-four
have been taken out, and it is believed
there are as many more in the mine. Wo-
men and children, many of whom have
not tasted food since the catastrophe oc-
Cured, are yet gathered about the mine
in large numbers. These poor creatures
continue to weep and implore increased
energy on the part of the rescuers.
All the other collieries are shut down,
and 5000 people visited the Red Ash
mine yesterday. Governor Atkinson is
still here and will stay until the work of
rescue is over.
The causes offered for the explosion
are that it was brought about by an ae-
emulation of natural gas and dust, or
that it was fire damp. State Mine In
spector James w. Paul is here investi-
eating.

to the north and east, closely pursued by

For some time Lord Roberts has had a
Il growing commando of Beers intrenched
q in his front on both banks of the Modder
river about ten miles east of Paardeberg.
The strength of this commando has
been put at 1000, but as the trenches
covered a space of Is miles that must
have been underestimate.
The Beers were faced by the Ninth,
Seventh and Sixth divisions, while Gen
eraI French, with his cavalry, was at the
last moment brought from the extreme
left Of the British line to the extreme
right, facing the Boer left.
The British operations opened with the
cavalry working round the Boer left, COW

The Beers at once fell back to the
north and east The cavalry and horse
artillery followed closely, and the Sew
enth and Ninth divisions and the guards
brigade also marched in pursuit
The Beers lost one gun, an immense
quantity of forage and number of tents.
The retreat has degenerated into rout.
