Roberts Reports That Five Thousa nd
Yield to Hunter

LONDON. July 31.--An official dis
patch has been received from Lord Rob-
erts saying that 5000 Beers under Com
mandant Prinsloo have surrendered at
Naauwpoort, in the Orange River ctuny.
A previous dispatch, dated Pretoria,
July 20. tells the story of the ii .!ting as
follows:
ION July 26 Macdonald fought IL rear
guard action with the enemy from early
morning until dark nine miles outside
of Naauwpoort, in the Bethlehem hills,
resulting in his effectually blocking
Naauwpoort mex to the Boer wagons.
'.Hunter reports that the enemy twice
checked his advance by holding strong
positions on two neks, one of which was
taken before dark by the Scots, the Roy
al Irish, the Wiltshire and the Lcinster
regiments. Our casualties Were only
five or six. The second mex was taken
during the night by the Scots and guards
without opposition, the enemy retiring
closely to Naauwpoort.
prisoners taken stated that LOO
burghers would surrender if guaranteed
that they would be treated as prisoners
of war and not as rebels. To this as
sented AS result of these operations
Prinsloo, commanding the Beers, asked
under flag of truce this morning four
days armistice for peace negotiations.
Hunter replied the only terms he
could accept were unconditional sur
render and until these were complied
with hostilities could not cease. | eX-
pressed my approval and told Hunter on
no account to enter into negotiations.
"As am writing a telegram has come
from Hunter saying that Prinsloo had
written second letter expressing will
ipgness to hand over himself. with his
men, rifles, ammunition and other fire.
arms, upon condition that the horses,
saddles, brides and other possessions
of the burghers be guaranteed them and
they be free to return to their homes.
IL have replied that the surrender must
be absolutely unconditional, that all
rifles, ammunition, horses and other pos
ses must be given up and that the
burghers will be considered prisoners of
war. l added that Prinsloo's overtures
will not be allowed in any way to inter
fere with Hunters operations. which
must be continued until the enemy is de-
feated or has surrendered"

Was Not A Suicide.

The sad death of pretty Nora
Brown in a bath tub at MOntours-
vile last week, which was at first
supposed to have been suicidal act,
has upon further investigation salts
fed the minds of many that she met
death accidently. Miss Brown was
greatly troubled with her heart and
would at times fall in swoon with
out any apparent cause. When
found she was fully dressed except
one shoe and stocking had been re-
moved. 1t is quite evident that she
was seated on the edge of the tub
removing her shoes when she faint
ed and fell backwards. When placed
in the coffin a mark was visible on
her head where it had evidently
struck the spigot. But few days
previous to this accident she wrote a
letter to her friend Miss May Kelly,
of Shu, (, in which she spoke of her
preparation to attend the Harris
Family Reunion to be held at Star
Island ON August "a, to whom she is
related. This would seem to indi-
cate that she was looking pleasantly
ahead to this future event, rather
than dwelling on the thoughts OF
destroying her life.
The funeral in Skunk was largely
attended by sorrowing friends who
greatly mourned the untimely death
of this beautiful young woman who
was of good repute and highly es.
| teelhed by all who knew her.
