Captain. Lieutenant and Special-On the
Fighting Line at WePener.


Aliwal North. April 21.-Captain
Little. of Brabant's Horse: Lieutenant
Holbeck, and Mr.. Milne, a Reuter- cor
respondent, fell into the hands of the
enemy while they were trying to reach
Wepener Il week ago. Everything was
taken from the prisoners, who were
sent TO Pretoria. Their native servants,
who escaped from the Boer lager near
Wepener. say that there were four
guns disabled and that the Beers had
lost 100 in killed alone.
1t is also aScertained that the Beers
made a night attack on april II, but
were discovered while creeping along
a deep ditch by Cape mounted rifles
with MaXims. who fired into them at
a distance of 200 yards with the result
that the Beers lost five wagon loads of
killed and wounded. \ simultaneous
attack in other quarters was repulsed
by the British, who used their bayo-
nets.
The Beers still surround Wepener.
but there has been little firing lately.
The Beers who lately surrendered in
the Wepener district have been forced
again with violence to fight. Ten of
their leaders have been arrested. PreSi-
dent Steyn has issued orders to the
districts of Wepener. Ladybrand and
Ficksburg. from which they draw their
food supplies, and also To prevent the
British forces from getting the rich
supplies now in these districts.

FLOOD is DISASTROUS.
HEAVY LOSS IN MISSISSIPPI
state Is Out About 100000 Outside of
the RaiIways-Heevy Loss of
Life Reported.

Memphis. Tenn, April PA special
TO The Commercial-Appealfr New Or
leans says. The flood which commenced
the early part of the week has already
caused. at 4 conservative estimate,
fully =, 100000 loss in central and
southern Mississippi, to say nothing of
the damages sustained by the railroads.
A special from Columbia, Miss, re-
ceived late last night fixes the loss in
that little town and its immediate vi
cinity at 100000. Many farm houses
were carried away by the mad waters,
the occupants barely escaping with
their lives. and the number of cattle
destroyed was great.
Honey Island. the rendezvous of the
noted train robber, Burch. is under
twenty feet of water. and the island,
which has for years been one of the
natural game preserves of the south, is
now devoid of wild animals. Hundreds
of deer were drowned. and the hills
near the tanks of the Pearl river are
now the temporary abiding places of
all manner of fourfOoted life.
Half a score of towns are completely
cut off from the outside world. as they
have been since the early part of the
week. From the Chunky river swamps
near Enterprise comes news of heavy
loss of life.
Jackson Miss, April 21.-The flood
situation is somewhat improved this
morning and the Illinois Central rail-
road is getting its trains through to
New Orleans over the Yazoo & Mis-
sissippi Valley without difficulty.
The jackson Waterworks company
pumped out the engine room this
morning, and by the aid of an i'm
provised dam, resumed operations.
thus averting the threatened water
famine.

ROBERTS Is IN COMMAND
And He Has the Responsibility of Sending
Generals Home.

London. April 21.-The government
reason for publishing Lord Roberts
SpiOn kop dispatches was explained
last evening at Hull by Walter Hume
long. president of the board of agri-
culture, who said that the country was
entitled to receive all the information
the government could give. THE gov
eminent is told" continued Long. that
having published the dispatches it is
bound to deal Immediately with the
generals affected but, in following
such Il course, the government might
have TO dismiss every general the mo-
ment he made mistake. Had such
Il policy been pursued in the past
many most glorious deeds would not
have been performed.
THE government used it's discretion
IN publishing the dispatches. From
the beginning of the campaign her
majesty's ministers have not swerved
from the rule of leaving the conduct
of the operations to the discretion and
judgment of the commander-in-chief."
The following dispatch is published
here. dated Elandslaagte. April 10:
Yesterday the British patrols discover
ed another party of Beers on the Brit
ish left. in the same position from
which the enemy recently fired on the
South African Horse. Native deserters
confirm previous statements with re-
spect to the Notifications and strength
of the Beers along the Biggarsberg
range. The enemy have recently estab-
lished large hospital. which is already
filled. and similar hospitals are being
established by them at various rail
way towns.
The Beers are losing many horses.
The rank and file are not allowed to
forage for supplies. Their sugar is ex-
hansted and only bush tea is available.
The Beers are reported to wish TO leave
the Biggarsberg and to take up posi-
ton at Majuba, but the commandments
refuse.

TENNESSEE REPUBLICANS
Split in the Convention That Assures .
Contest at Philadelphia

Contest at Philadelphia
Nashville, Tenn, April 21.-Tennes-
see win have two Republican tickets
paign. and two sets of delegates to
Philadelphia. The state convention
split here yesterday, the Evans con-
tingent walking out and holding con-
Vention of its own. W. +. POSton, of
Crockett county. is its gubernatOrial
selection. while John Z. Mccall is at
the head of the state ticket named
by the convention over which Repre-
sentative BrOwnlOw presided. Pension
Commissioner Henry Clay Evans will
lead one delegation to the national
convention, while the other will be
directed by Brownlow.
Both delegations are instructed for
Mckinley. The situation is the out
come of \ bitter fractional fight that
has waged in the state for some time.
The split came when the ''uncontested'
delegates refused to substitute the mi
nority for the majority report of the
committee on credentials. that commit
tee presented a majority report seat
ing Brownlow delegates from sixteen
contested counties, and both delega-
tionS from thirteen counties. The mi
nOrity recommended the seating OF
Evans delegates in each instance, and
there was the rub.
Evans sent the following message to
General H. V. BOynton, at Washing
ton: Situation most EN- JarraGSing and
humiliating. No bX Stuffing and per-
jury ever equalled what we have here.

association. was asked for an express
sion of opinion regarding the story
that members of the Chicago Red Cross
association had torn off their badges
upon their arrival at Pretoria and TAX
en- up arms for the Beers. She sent
the following answer, dated April 49,:
eff this report be true. these men have
practiced gross deception. broken a
pledge and violated a confidence which
they sought The humane world will
not hold them guiltless.
CLARA BARTON"
Friends here of the men involved in
this alleged breach of faith do not cred
ct the report that upon their arrival in
the Transvaal, they tore off their
badges and accepted rifles Those who
were responsible for sending them from
Chicago say that in no way can the
blame for such action, if the report be
true. be laid upon any one except the
individual men. The men sent all took
oath before a notary public that they
would ont carry arms The authority
for the statement is Consul Hay at Pre-
toria.
