ANOTHER DISASTER
 TO BRITISH TROOPS
Five Companies Surrounded and Captured by Boers
 Close to BIoemfOnten.

Villebois and seven Boers killed; eight wounded. Fifty prisoners.
 Our losses were: Killed Captains Boyle and Williams, both of the Yeomanry, and two men of the Yeomanry. Wounded about seven men.
 "'The attack lasted four hours. The corps behaved very well. Our force was composed of aYeomanry, the kimberley mounted corps and the Fourth battery or artillery"
 General De Villebois Mareuil was the chief of staff of the Boer army. lie was about 50 years old, and is said to have been responsible for many of the Boer successes in Natal and later in Cape Colony, ana the southern part of the Orange Free State. It is said that he entered the Boer resvice merely because war was his trade. He went through a number of campaigns in the French army.

Fired Under White Fia5

London, April 1.-The Daily Telegraph has the following from Boshof, dated Thursday:
 Lord Methuen's Mafeking relief force was concentrated here today The Boers are in force few miles distant on the Vaal river. This town is practically de- serted, all the men being with the com mand under Commandant Duplessis, who controls the district.
 Lord Methuen commanded in a spirited little action nine miles to the southeast, where he surrounded seventy Boers on a kopje. Not a man escaped. We took fifty four prisoners, sixty horses and a quantity of baggage. General Villebois was killed during the action.
 "A Boer hoisted white flag and then fired immediately after, killing a British officer. The murderer was instantly shot,

Washington, April 6.-General Wheelers attention being called today to sugges- tion of himself as vice presidential can- didate made the following statement:
 'I think that my name has never been mentioned in that connection except as very many other gentlemen have ,eeen re- ferred to, simply in the way of personal compliment. I have appreciated these fiat tering allusions to myself, but never re- garded them as at all serious or othNr than the kind expressions of partial friends

British Now Realize the Difficult Task
 Before Them

London, April 7.A30 a. m.-Not a word regarding the disaster at Reedersburg has been allowed to come through except the dispatch of Lord Roberts It is therefore impossible to form any notion of what has happened. Meanwhile the British public is beginning to realize the immense difficult ties to be overcome even before Pretoria is reached, and is reviving premature ideas with respect to the time when the war will be over. No one believes now that 1t will have ended by the beginning of June
 The latest disaster more particularly il- illustrates the heavy task involved in hold ing the railway. This body of some 500 British troops without guns, which disap- peared so completely within 35 miles of the great British army, had for its busi- ness to guard a section of nearly nintey miles of railway between Bloemfontein and Springfontein. If it could thus be spirited away, how is Lord Roberts to en- sure his continually extending communi- cations?
 Other pertienent questions are being asked as result of these successive "un- fortunate occurrences" The foremost is, Why do not the British troops entrench? It is argued that if this had been done oUU men mlSnt nave held out until rein forcements arrived. It cannot be concealed that the utmost alarm is beginning to be felt.
 It is said that the Boers who captured the ritish at Reedersburg belonged to Ol- ivier's. command. If so, he has not retired north, and hopes are expressed that he may still be cut off.
 It is asserted that four thousand rebels surrendered during General Clements northward march. The Boers will do their utmost to hold Ladybrand and Thaba N'Chu, both being rich grain producing districts.
 Steyn's Appointment Confirmed
 The report that MT. Steyn had been ap- pointed to the command of the Free Sta ters and the further report that the Free State had arranged loan from the Trans vaal for war purposes are both confirmed.
 Another Boer version of the fighting with Colonel Plumer's forces says that four of- fcers and thirty men were taken prisoners at Ramathabama. It appears that the names of Cecil and Granville, which were originally supposed to indicate two of the officers captured at the time, should have been read together as the name of one of- fcer.
 As numerous prisoners are now held on both sides, and the numbers are about equal, the question of exchange was moot ed in the house of commons last evening. This elicited a reply that the government had no intention of proposing an exchange.

No Order to Gen. Otis

Washington, April 6-The statement Is made in an authoritative quarter that no order has been sent as yet to Major Gen eral Otis to relinquish his command in the Philippines and return to the United States. These steps are left, in a measure, at least, to the generals discretion and he is to determine just when he feels it proper for him to leave his post of duty.
 General Otis will turn over the command to General MacArthur

 "A seditious meeting was summoned by Transvaal emssaries for today at Leouw- berg, but nobody attended.
 ."Boer patrols from Bradfort have cut the telegraph wires between here and Bo- shof.
 'The British scouts reported yesterday that a force of from 12,O0O to 5000 Boers had been seen beyond Bosman's Kop, mov- ing from Thaba N'Chu to the south. The enemy, by appeals and menace combined are vainly trying to induce the burghers to take the field again. The farmers are more afraid of the Transvaalers than of the British"

Atlanta, April 6-The Georgia state con- vention of the peoples party will be held in Atlanta next Tuesday, April 10.
