FEAST ING IIN
PORTO RICO.

There are probably a good many peo-
Pile who think that the real reason why
Thanksgiving day had it's origin IN
New England is because that section Is
prolific in turkeys and pumpkins. There
are also many others who hold that
they cannot enjoy a dinner on that day
without good. sharp frost 70 put an
edge on their appetites. Cold weather,
Thanksgiving. turkeys. pumpkins, ei-
der. apple sass" and other concom-
itants Of the festal banquet consti-
tute a combination that cannot be sep
arated in the minds OF those people,
But now that we have taken in sew
eral tropical dependencies where frost
is unknown and where hitherto the
Thanksgiving feature has been con.
spicuous by its absence the opinion ex-
pressed above viii have TO be modified.
for down in Porto Rico, at least there
is a decided impression that whether
the Inhabitants of that island We're or
were not blanketed in under the con
stitution when we took over their terri
tory. they fell heir to ell the American
institutions like Washington's> birth
day, the glorious Fourth and especially
Thanksgiving.
The burning question with them
abort this time Is how to observe the
day properly after the Yankee fashion,
"a la Americana" Though not gener-
ally known. the island possesses In its
native fauna the requisite resources
for the festal viands. and If the writer
were there he would not ask for a
better bill of fare than he could pro-
vide IL he were allowed free range of
forest and shore. To begin with. al
though there Is very little game in
Porto Rico (such has been the sharp
competition for a mere living among
the wretched inhabitants), there is
enough to satisfy the ordinary sports
man who knows where to look for II.
There are no wild turkeys, to be sure.
but there are some that have run wild
from the fern and are what are known
as 'pavos del monte" or domestic
fowls that have flown the coop and
turned Injun." They are not so large
as our native turkeys and are rather
disposed to be skinny, but their flavor
is good, and. If they have been feeding
on the seeds of certain palms and
shrubs. constitute food fit for any one
to eat.
Then there are the wild guinea fowl
occasionally found In the jungles along
the rivers, where they have left the
farms and taken to the bush. There
is nothing on earth more delicious OF
the fowl kind than nice tender pullet
that has raised itself on what 1t could
pick up In the woods and pastures
without having been made tough and
rank from being overturned.
So there are two kinds of meat indig-
enous to the island which IL we were
there we could have for our Thanks

London. June 6. 6 a. m.-Late last night the
news was received from Lord Roberts of the
capture Of the 18th Battalion of Imperial Yeo-
manry under Colonel Spragge by a superior
Boer force near Lindley On Thursday three
days ago, it was stated that General Rundle's
attack on the Beers near Senekal had relieved
the pressure on Colonel Spragge's detachment
and enabled il to reach LindIey, but this must
have been an overoptimistic view Of the situa-
tion for the little force was compelled TO sur
render
The battalion included the Duke of Cam
bridges Own. two Belfast companies and
Dublin company of Imperial Yeonanry. and
numbered probably between four and five hun
dred men. Lord Methuen, of whom little has
been heard Of late, was at the time on a march
on the Heilbron side Of Kroonstad. and Lord
Roberts ordered him to go 10 Colonel spragge's
assistance. Lord Methuen Accomplished
splendid march. but although he succeeded in
covering the intervening forty-four miles in
twenty-five hours he was too late to effect
rescue.
He states, however that he had a running
fight with the Beers and routed them.
The incident is really Of not much Importance.

after e battle Of manGuvres rather than serious
fighting. Lord Roberts gives detailed descrip-
zion Of this engagement and helps thereby 10
dignity the entry Of the British troops into the
capital The details have q hollow ring, and il
IS not clear that the resistance offered by the
Beers was serious. The Beers, when attacked
by the mounted infantry and the yeomanry, fell
back upon a position in the rear, where they
had concealed several guns. The naval guns
and the batteries Of artillery moved up with the
infantry brigade behind them, and the Dutch
retired The Beers then made feeble attempt
70 turn the LETT flank OF the British army, but
were thwarted when General HamiIton's col
unn OF mounted infantry filed the gap. The
Beers retreated, and Lord Rooertss army. after
bivouacktng overnight, entered Pretoria yester-
day afternoon, the Guards leading the way. The
casualties were not neavy and the engagement
was series Of maneuvres on each side without
desperate or persistent fighting in defence of the
Dutch stronghold

Lord Roberts does not appear TO have used

Of cavalry north Of Pretoria. and General HanliI-
