LONDON, Feb. 9.--The Daily Tele-
graph has received the following dis
patch, dated Tuesday, February 9Th,
from Spearman's Camp. This is the
second day of the battle and the fight
ing has been fiercer than it was yes
terday. At dawn the Beers began the
action by Smelling our bivouac with
their Long Tom and Pompon guns
from Doom Kloof Their 6-inch shells
fell near the spot where General Bull
Ter and his staff were watching the
engagement. One shell burst amid
squadron of the Thirteenth Hussars,
| but not soul was touched.
Our guns from zwartzs Kop and on
the plain soon silenced the enemy's ar
tillery, but repeatedly the Beers
| brought back their guns, put them into
work across the hills, fired few
rounds and then again changed their
position. During the morning our
gunners succeeded in blowing up the
enemy's ammunition wagon upon
| Doom Kloof. General Lyttelton's bril-
| gade was shot at from three sides, and
had warm time upon Vaal Krantz.
Desperate efforts were made by the
Beers to recover the smoking hill. The
Durham Light Infantry, the Kings
Royal Rifles and the Scottish Rifles
| CALAMITY charged and cleared the po-
sition. General Hildyard's brigade re-
lieved General Lyttelton's brigade to-
ward sunset.
| Fighting continued until Q. Several
prisoners have been taken. They de-
clare that the Beers yesterday lost
heavily. The enemy suffered severely
today. 1t is reported that among their
dead in the trenches armed Kaffirs
were found
LONDON, Feb. GA dispatch to the
Morning Post from Ladysmith, dated
Tuesday, February 9Th, says: Little
can be seen of General Buffers action,
owing to the haze. 1t appears that the
Beers have withdrawn their big guns
from the hills here southwark. A
| large force Of Beers still remain and
the garrison is prepared for night at
| tack.
A dispatch to the London Times
from Spearman's Camp says that when
the Durhams reached the top of Vaal
Krantz over fifty of the enemy, who
were still defending the position, fed,
and more than half these were armed
natives.

agreed upon by all parties concerned.
The features of the rOgram are:
First, the convention will endorse the
candidacy OF William j. Bryan and recog-
nize him as our National leader
Second, the Chicago platform Will not
be affirmed.
Third, the delegates to the National
Convention will not be instructed.

that all we can do is TO fall into line,
