Thaba N'Chu, May General Ham
ilton's division was engaged yester--
day in forcing passage northward.
At Houtney the Boer front held the
line of hills commanding sides of the
Mex. The Canadians and Gordons at
tackled the hill on the left. The
Shropshires and Marshall's horse, sup
ported by battery, also attacked the
enemy, who finally fed, leaving many
wounded and the passage was cleared

removal to safer place. The Beers
hREe three guns on the hill eastward
OF this place outside the range of the
British artillery. Boer shelling is not
doing any damage. The enemy retain
their positions. The British are not
attempting to dislodge them. Gener-
al Hamilton by reaching Houtney after
afull days fighting secured the Thaba
N NCnu-BlOemtOnteln road.
London, May Pit is difficult to un-
ravel the tangled stories coming from
the neighborhood of Thaba N'Chu but
apparently the British are engaged in
a movement having for its object the
hemming in of the Beers still in that
district. While Generals French and
Rumble are holding the Beers at Thaba
NChu, General Broadwood's caval-
Ty has been pushed on to Houtnek in
the hope of intercepting federal con-
voys between Ladybrand and Win
burg. AS General Botha has been re-
inforced there is every prospect of
sharp fighting. The new scene of
operations and general movements of
4he various columns are taken to in
dicate that Lord Roberts is deploying
his army preparatory to beginning a
northern march. 1t seems likely that
1t is the commander-in-chief's inten-
tion to advance simultaneously from
Kimberley Bloemfontein and Lady
smith, with view of preventing the
Beers from concentrating their forces
at any given point. A dispatch from
Bloemfontein, dated yesterday, chron-
icles the prevailing opinion among
townspeople there that the war is not
likely to last more than six weeks,
once the British advance begins. Gen
sral Darlington has arrived at Maran-
dellas a base whence the flying col
umn will be dispatched in direction
not made public.

Twenty American TROOPS Killed.

Manila, May 2-The American gar
rison at Catubig, island of Samar, CON
sisting of thirty men belonging to the
Forty-third regiment have been at
tackled by rebels. Twenty Americans
were killed, the remainder were res
cued.
The Americans were quartered in
sCatubig church, which the enemy,
numbering several hundred, fiercely at
tackled. The Americans fought two
days and then the rebels managed to
ignite the roof of the church and it
burned away and finally fell upon
those inside. The walls remained In
tact however, and were used as shell
ter by the besieged Americans for
three days longer, the enemy attack
ing the building on all sides at once
The Americans continued firing from
the windows and doors of the, church
and did good execution among the
Fflipinos. 1t is estimated that over
200 of the latter were killed, many
dead bodies being removed from the
scene of the fighting. After five days
of resistance by the Americans a lieu
tenant and eight men arrived from
Laoan and engaged the besiegers who
thereupon retired. The fortunate ar
rival of these reinforcements prevent
ed the annihilation of the American
force entrenched in the church, who
repeatedly declined to surrender when
ordered. The ten survivors were with
out food. had but little ammunition,
and were exhausted when relieved.
This fight encouraged the FiIipinos,
who are now acting in an aggressive
manner, threatening that section Of
the coast, particularly the town Of
Catarma, whence the garrison will
probably be withdrawn TO laaoan.

American Soldiers Killed.
CONN. INsTRucTs FOR BRYAN

SAT- Lake City, Utah, May 1.-TWO
hundred or more lives were lost in
the explosion of a mine of the Pleas
ant Valley company, Scofleld, Utah
A hundred and thirty-seven bodies
have already been recovered. The
work of rescue is still progressing.
There is no hope that any of the men
unaccounted for have escaped death.
The scene of the disaster is just out
side of this place, on the line of the
Rio GrandeWestern railroad. The ex-
.plosion which occurred in the winter
quarters Of the mine is attributed
by some to the blowing up of num-
Der of kegs of blasting powder. The
company has two mines, Nos. 1 and A.
The explosion occurred in No 4. A
special train was sent from Salt Lake
bearing superintendent Sharp of the
coal company, Supt Welby, of the rail-
road company, and some doctors. As
fast as the bodies are reached they
are taken to boarding houses and other
of the company buildings where they
are dressed and prepared for the cor
oner's inquest. The buildings are
numerous and in each are ten to thir--
ty-five bodies, laid in long rows. To
those identified are attached tags
with the name and address. These
await the coming of relatives or
friends. Two hundred cofins have
been ordered from local undertakers
to be sent at once to the scene of the
disaster. A special train, bearing the
seriously wounded, started from Sco-
field for Salt Lake. The first news of
the Scofield disaster received at Salt
Lake gave the list of killed at twen-
ty-five. It was not until evening that
the full extent of the tremendous cal
amity was understood. 1t appears to
be one of those accidents that are com
mon to the very best regulated mines
and against the best endeavors of the
most competent superintendents.
Salt Lake, Utah, May Especial to
the Desert News" from Scofeld,
says: Two hundred and one bodies
have been recovered. It is now
known that between three hundred
and four hundred men entered the
mines, a great majority of whom have
been killed All night lights were
kept burning in every home in Scofield
and the means of mothers and the
piteous cries of many orphans are
heart rending. The two camps have
always been noted for the large num-
ber of married men employed. This
fact makes the disaster more appall-
ing and far reaching in its results.
Several families have been robbed of
all male representatives. In the Hun
ter family seven are missing. Among
the dead are about twenty young boys,
who acted as couplers and trap boys

called 'ah intimation that had come
TO him which he had spoken Of yester-
day that those promoting this bill were
doing SO to delay the canal bill. Yet
he said he acquitted Hepburn Of any
such intention. Today he. frankly
stated that Hepburn's name had been
connected with the rumor.
Who was the author OF the rnmor?n
