RENsBERG, Cape Colony, Jan. 49,
A patrol composed Of 16 men of the
New South Lancers and South Austria
ians was ambushed yesterday by the
Beers and overwhelmed, after severe
fight. Two Of the detachment escaped
and have arrived in camp. This morn
ing patrol visited the scene of the
fight and found five dead Australians
and one wounded. A number of dead
Boer horses also were found, showing
that the Australians made gallant
fight before surrendering.
It appears that when the Australians
encountered the first body of Beers and
finding their retreat cut off they gal
loped for a nearby kopje, hoping to beat
off the Beers, but on arriving they
found another force Of burghers con-
cealed there.

GREAT BATTLE SOON.

Aondon military Experts Predict De-
cisive Engagements.
LONDON, Jan. 19.-Military critics in
afiliation with the war office consider
that the expected battle south and west
Of Ladysmith can hardly be delayed be-
yond today. From Durham it is re-
ported that fighting has already begun.
General Buffers forces in the flanking
operation across the Tugela are some
10000 or H. 900 bayonets. The disposi.
tion of his other 15, 900 or 90, 600 men is
not known, but the assumption is that
the whole army will be in action when
the hour for combined movement ar
rives. Three weeks ago General Butler
had SO, ,000s men. Considerable rein
forcements have since reached MIN, Civ
ing him probably $4,000 men and 80
guns all told. Estimates as to how
many men and guns the Beers have to
oppose him are mere guesswork. In
not replying to General Lyttleton's
shelling, they are using the tactics that
proved SO successful in the battle Of
Magersfontein and Colepso, lying low
in their trenches, thus hoping toconceal
their precise position until the infantry
advances.
The Daily Chronicles military expert
sees curious anology between General
Buller's situation now and the eve Of
Magersfontein. Now as then the Beers
are making stand with their backs to
investing lines within a few miles. As
Lord Methuen, after crossing the Mod
der river, had to attack the Syefontein
and Magersfontein hills, SO General
Butler after passing the Tugela faces in
visible entertainments in a rough coun-
try. One correspondent mentions Cen
eral Buller's wheeled transport Of 5000
vehicles, which connect him with the
rail head, ,aabout 80 miles to the rear.
Among these vehicles are 80 traction
engines, which draw from 10 to l5
wagons each.
General Buller's warning about the
misuse of the white flag by the Beers
in his proclamation to the troops is con-
sidered rather broad hint to give no
quarter. His phrase "there will be no
turning back is played upon editor
tally by the morning papers as presag.
ing cheerful announcements.
The absorbing interest felt in Natal

Recalls Haddook Murder Case.

Sioux CITY. Jan. 17.-Information
has been received by the authorities
here that Henry Peters, hackman sup
posed to have been murdered ten years
ago and his body cremated in Arens-
DORIS brewery, is living in Oklahoma.
Peters disappearance was one Of the
mysteries connected with the famous
Haddock murder case in the latter
eighties. Haddock was the Methodist
preacher murdered here for his relent-
less war on saloons. One of the prin-
cipal witnesses desired by the prosecu-
tion was Henry Peters, hackman,
known to have driven the party of
liquor dealers, of whom Arensdorf was
one, about the city short time before
Haddock was killed. But from the date
Of the murder Peters disappeared.

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-Nearly 900 brokers
on the board of trade met last evening
to devise measures to continue trading
in puts and calls, despite the strong
stand taken against it by President
Warren and the new board or directors.
It was decided to continue the trade in
privileges outside the jurisdiction of
the board and for that purpose a put
and call market, to be known as the

HOW THE ADVANCE BEGUN.

Story of the Forward Movement to Re-
lieve Ladysmith.
MOUNT ALICE, near Potgieter's Drift,
Natal, Jan. 15.-The forward movement
for the relief Of Ladysmith began on
Wednesday, Jan. 10, from Frere and
Chieveley. Lord Dundonald's mounted
brigade, with the Fifth brigade under
General Hart, comprising the Dublins,
the Connaughts, the Inniskillens and
the bordor regiment, proceeded north
westerly to Springfield. The position
had previously been thoroughly recon-
noitered. A few miles outside Of Frere
Lord Dundonald passed targets erected
by the Beers to represent a force ad-
vancing in skirmishing order. Evi-
IDENTIFY the Beers had been firing at
these from the adjacent hills.
Lord Dundonald pushed on and as
the main column advanced, it was noti-
fed that Springfield was not occupied
by the Beers and that the Fifth brigade
had taken possession. The British
transport extended for several miles and
comprised some 5000 vehicles.
The mounted brigade advanced rap
idly, not meeting with any opposition.
The British scouts had infinitely
searched all the suspicious country, but
there was no sign of the enemy.
The column advanced to Mount Alice,
facing the enemy's mountain fortress.
The Beers had been at Potgieter's
drift the previous day, but q body Of
South African horse swan the stream
under fire and brought over the pont
from the Beers side.
The Beers were evidently surprised
at the appearance of the British on the
scene, A long camp could be seen on
Tugela heights, facing Mt. Alice, but
the enemy quickly struck camp and
cleared off into the mountains. A
buggy was seen leaving for the hills
on the right presumably with General
Joubert or some other commandant.
General Butler lookup his quarters in
a pleasantly situated farm house be-
disappeared.
On Friday aloud explosion was heard.
Subsequently it was found that the
Beers had destroyed a bridge under
construction seven miles above Potgiet-
er's drift
s General Butler has issued spirited
appeal and instruction to the forces be-
ginning: 1--WE are going to the relief
of our comrades in Ladysmith. There
will be no turning back. 80
The order proceeds to advise the men
when they charge, and the conditions
under which they should receive the
surrender of any of the enemy. It also
warns them that the Beers are treacher-
ous in the use Of the white flag.

the closing arguments in the habeas
corpus case of Corporal Fair and Private
Jockens and at the close Of the after

Trying to Locate the Provisions.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Ambassador
Choate is prosecuting his efforts to learn

to the disposition of the owners. The
goods carried on the Mashona are be-
ieved to be still on board that ship at
Cape Town. The Beatrice is at East
