Eighth Division to Start Northward
From CapetoWn at Once-Refugees
Stranded at Kimberley-Loyalists
Would Annex the Republics-Boers
Angry at st. Helena Episode.

London, April 1.-The war office is
sued no further news last night, and
the few dispatches received from the
seat Of war bear evidence Of having
been delayed by the censor. According
to a special dispatch from Pretoria,
Gen. Roberts has begun to advance
northward. The dispatch says that
there are daily skirmishes and that a
big battle is imminent. This, how
ever, may refer to the operations pre-
ceding the engagement at Karee sid
ing, which has apparently cleared the
way, as well as secured an advantage
Gus position whence the next opera
tons may be conducted. fuckers d.
vision is now occupying the beers
camp at Karee siding with the way
clear to Brandfort, which is reported to
be already evacuated. Orders have
been received at Capetown for the
eighth division to be disembarked and
sent north Immediately upon its ar
rival there. The boer forces in the
neighborhood ofPaadeburg are reported
to be actively engaged in marauding
and attempting to capture the British
horses left on the veldt owing to their
weak condition. Six hundred Barley
refugees that were sent back from
Capetown are stranded, the Kimberley
military authorities refusing to as
sist them to proceed. An active cam
paign is in progress on the part of 10y
alists Of Cape Colony for the annexa-
ton of the republics and the punish
ment of colonials who serve in the
boer army. Meetings in support of
this policy have been held in many
important centers under the auspices
Of the South African league. The
transportation Of prisoners to st.
Helena is arousing the anger of the
beers, who threaten to retaliate by
sending the British prisoners to Koom-
airport, which is reputed to be the
worst fever den in south Africa.

FORGOTTEN MONEY FOUND.
Merrill Man Suddenly Finds Himself
$1,260 Richer.

Merrill, Wis, March 29-Simeon
irlpanier, now Of this city, enlisted in
Co. E, First Connecticut volunteers, in
1864. At that time he sent by express
to his father at Montreal, Can, his
picture and a check for $500, which
was deposited in the Bank de Paryne
at Montreal. His father never got the
check and the money was forgotten.
About one year ago his brother saw in
an advertised list of lost and dead
money Simeon's name. He wrote him
OF the fact, and the matter was placed
IN the hands of H. r. Allen Of this
city. A certificate Of service and af-
hdayits were secured and sent to an
attorney at Montreal. About three
weeks ago Mr.. Tripanier went to Mon
treal, and when he presented himself
at the Bank de Pargne was paid the
sum Of $1,260, the principal and inter
est Of the money he had deposited in
the bank in 1864

CONVOY DISASTER
PARTLY EXPLAINED BY cow
ARDICE OF kAFFIR DRIVERS.
Beers NUMEROUS FIRE
Opportune Arrival OF Reinforcements
Saves Detachment from Annihila-
tion-Methuen,s Difficulties In
ereasing-Surrounded by Beers and
Guerilla Bands.

London, April 3--The latest news
from the front adds little to the public
knowledge of the convoy disaster, by
which the British lost six guns Sun
day. No credence is given to reports
that the beers numbered 5000 and
10000 men. The general belief is that
there could not have been more than
half that number, but the mere fact
that even so many as half could have
been collected so near headquarters,
without the knowledge of the British
commanders, prOvokeS much uneasy
criticism. The disaster is regarded as
the direct result Of the inability of
General French to cut off the COM
mando Of General Olivier, and other
commanders, when escaping from
Orange River. Roberts own dispatch
says nothing about the guns being re-
captured, and the story therefore looks
doubtful. Little news has arrived
from other points. Kenhardt was
formally re-occupied Saturday. The
report that the beers are massing in
the vicinity of Taunga and Kilpdal is
confirmed. Methuen's difficulties are
apparently increasing. He has boer
laagers of guerilla bands on three
sides of him, and will &c obliged to
watch carefully his communications
with Orange river
How Guns Were Lost.
London, April 3-The Bloemfontein
correspondent of the Daily Chronicle,
describing the loss of the convoy,
says: The beers opened with a muir
derous fire. 1t was simply slaughter.
The Kaffir drivers of the convoy ran
away, leaving their teams, and it was
impossible for our men to hit the hid.
den enemy. Our gunners fought brave
ly trying to save the guns, but were
greatly hamepered by the Kaffirs, who
ran hither and thither looking for a
cover from the fearful fire poured in
on all sides. Meanwhile the enemy
were holly pressing Colonel Broad
wood, whose mounted troops were COM
pletely surrounded. The British
showed magnificent bravery. The Off
GERS were quite cool, and composedIy
directed the operations. The oppor-
tune arrival of reinforceents saved Col.
BroadwoOd from humiliation. The
water supply was out, the pumping
gear destroyed as well as the field tele-
graph. One hundred wagons were lost
through the cowardice Of the Kaf1r
drivers. 1t is reported two guns have
been recaptured. The whole force il

SETTLING NORTHERN WISCONSIN
Great Stream of immigration Flowing
Into New Country

West Superior, Wis, March 3l.-The
great immigration movement to the
west and northwest is sending a con-
siderable stream of new settlers into
northern Wisconsin. During the past
fall and winter thousands of settlers
have taken up the cheap lands along
the upper Wisconsin river valley
and along the lines of the railroads
in this part of the state. Lands which
a few years ago were considered
worthless or held at a merely nominal
price are now bringing from SO to Sc
an acre and in desirable localities
these lands are easily taken up by
settlers who come either sing1y or in
colonies.
A colony numbering over 100 recent
ly settled in Washburn county near
Shell lake and another colony is plan

operating from Madison, Milwaukee
and st. Paul are prompting this move
ment. The state board of immigration

northern Wisconsin and promote set
Element.
In Douglas county every foot of land
held by the county for taxes has been
taken up during the past winter and
the price on all lands has risen. In
nearly all the northern Wisconsin
counties the county lands have been
disposed of to local spectators or to
outside companies
1t is estimated that fully 1000 set
tiers will locate in Washburn, Burnett,
Douglas and Bayfield, counties this
spring. They are attracted by the low
price of land and the proximity of the
large markets at the head of the lakes
and the Twin Cities. Most of the set
tiers are engaging in diversified farm
ing, including grazing and dairying.
In Bayfield, county an experiment in
sheep raising is being undertaken on a
large scale and at Knapp, Wis, A. R.
Hall is raising flock OF goats. The
lumber companies which have owned
large tracts of land in northern Wis
consin are disposing of the land to
large companies which are retailing ii

The towns in northern Wisconsin
have taken lively interest in pro-
noting the settlement of the country
surrounding and are Offering many
inducements to settlers.

tractors are now fighting against the
