H1GHLANDERs' RoUT.
A London Correspondent tells of Brig
AIDES Collapse.

Se~FS~s
A mail account received from a cor
respondent with General Methuen of
the collapse of the Highland brigade
at Magersfontein conveys the most ap-
palling battle picture from British
point of view yet furnished Of this
war and describing the effect of un-
expected Boer fire when the brigade is
just about deploying from quarter col
umn order. The correspondent says:
Some one shouted Retire! and the
day was lost; the Highlanders broke
and ran. There is no other word for
it. In few minutes the brigade had
been decimated and the issue de-
cided. They did not run far, only a
few hundred yards, but when they
rallied they were shaken and confused
and for hours lay fiat on the ground
between the British guns and Boer
trenches.
"About 2 o'clock the Boer rifle fire
was greatly increased, and simultane-
ously the brigade was seen in full re-
treat. Back they came in n wave no
officer could stop. 1t was perhaps the
most unpleasant sight British soldier
has ever beheld, and certainly sight
never to be forgotten.
1T is difficult to say what happened
next, unless it was that Major Ewart
rode up with an order from General
Methuen, which was almost an en-
treaty, to the effect that all lie asked
until dark. So riddled and shattered
was the brigade that Major Ewart had
actually no other officer to help him
give the order to the scattered men,
and it was no small thing to ask Of the
Highlnnders that they should again
face the CALLING fire for five mortal
hours. Still. fair rally was effected,
as the pipers played somewhat dole
fully and the brigade ut last got back
to Il spot where they had Il certain
amount of cover. Here they lay until
Boer guns till then absolutely silent
suddenly came into play. 1t wanted
but this last straw to break tho nerve
of the rallying Highlandcrs. When
the first slrapnel burst what remained
of the brigade with one accord came
right back as far as the field hospital,
hopelessly beaten for the day. They
were not fit even to guard the bag
gage. They had lost fifty-seven in
officers and killed and wounded.
Could human nature stand more?"

EMPHATIC HIBERNIANS
Adopt Strong Resolutions In Support Of
the Beers.

Hibernians of Hcnnepin county have
put themselves on record as emphatic
ally opposed to England in the present
South African trouble. At the last
meeting of the Hennepin county board
of the Ancient Order of Hibcrnians,
the following resolution was adopted:
Whereas. The Beers of the two
South African republics are now en-
gagged in war which is being cruelty
and unjustly waged against them by
England under the hypocritical guise
OF progress and civilization, thereby
striking foul blow at governments
founded sush as ours:
And, Whereas, England has ever
been the oppressor of the Irish race,
and has at all times used similar pre-
texts to enslave weaker nations which
refuse to yield to her domination and
remembering as American citizens that
the same hypocritical pretexts were
made use OF to justify their war against
the patriots of the revolution in our
country as are now being used against
the Beers:
And, Whereas, we view with alarm
and intense surprise disposition on the
part OF Our government to pallatc and
condone England's war Of conquest
which to us seems to have no parallel
since the invasion OF ireland by the
canting, psalm-singing regicide, Crom-
well; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the county board
of Hennepin county, OF the Ancient Or
der of Hibernians, hereby extend to the
Beers Of South Africa our heartfelt
sympathy and most ardent hope for the
triumph OF their arms and the preserva-
ton of their homes and liberties from
the ruthless invader, and we hereby
pledge them our unfaltering support in
every manner consistent with our duties
as American citizens and asspssseryers
of republican form Of governments,
And be it further ..- -,
Resolved, That We willsuse every eff
fort to defeat any official of the United
States who gives aid or: encouragement
to England or showsta disposition to
falter or remain supinely silent when
monarchial and republican principles OF
government, as exemplified by the two
combatants, are on trial. f.

RAN LIKE GREYHOUNDS.
An English Regiment Chased by Irish.
Americana.

The following, letter from James F.
Dunn, a former resident OF Lowell,
Mass, now with the Beers, was re-
ceivcd by friend. The utmost conf
dencc can be placed in his story. The
letter, which, is dated "ln the field out
side Of Ladysmith." Is as follows
"My Dear Dillon-I want to give you
some Of the real facts of what is oc-
curing here The fact is that all the
nonsense about the wrongs OF the ut-
landers was cooked up by the Rhodes
gang for the English papers,
Il have lived here for two years and
| have yet to learn that we have any
wrongs-political, religious, CONNER
cial or otherwise.
The men who wrongcd and threat
cncd and bulIdozcd the miners-I mean
the working mincrs-wcrc the Rhodes
crowd. 1t was a great pity that Jane
son, Hammond and the rest of them
were not strung up after the raid.
When the war broke out brigadcs
OF foreigners were organized at once
The Germans have a brigade Of 1000
men or more, nearly all men trained in
the army in Germany and commanded
by trained officers OF their own country
There is mixed brigade OF French,
Scotch and English, who have their
own officers, and they are doing good
1--WE have an Irish brigade OF over
$500 men, the majority OF them from
California and the West, with quite a
sprinkling from the old country and the
Cape. Our commander is Colonel
Blake, a West Pointer, who used to be
in the regular cavalry at home, and a
jim dandy, fighter and tactican that
West Point may be proud Of.
1--WE arc getting new men every day;
they come in from Lorenzo Marquee
and are from every country in Europe
and from the States. We have quite 4
number from around Boston, New
York and Philadelphia.
1T was Our brigadc-wc had about
200 on the firing line that day-that
scoopcd in the Irish fusilicrs at Dun
dee, and had the Bocr contingent had
more experience in military matters we
could have got the whole OF Yulc's
bunch, horse, foot and wagons, for
never saw a worse beaten, dcmoralizcd
crowd than that same British army.
General Joubcrt is foxy old chap,
and refuses to let us take any chances
that arc uncertain, and he is dead
against any military grandstand tactics.
He won't allow any charges or attacks
on fortified places; he makes the Brit
ish do that business, and then he soalls
them.
"Tl,c consequence is that the English
lose five men killed and wounded where
we lose only one. We arc now in
trcnching around Ladysmitf, with
strong force down at the fords of the
Tugcla, intrcnching and waiting for
that advance OF the British we arc
promised.
"We have White and about 10000
men cooped up in Ladysmith, and we
will get the whole bunch as sure as
shooting. We have the hills overlook
ing the town fortified, and we shell the
place occasionally to keep them guess

dirt, disease and hunger to capture
them.
The town does not amount to any,
thing, but the Johnnies have about

supplies that will come handy. White
is in tight place, and his camp is
tough; heat, dust, rain and anxiety are
our allies, and they are badly democrat

They used to make sorties and: rush
hills, but we had orders to drop back
and let them rush; and when they got
tired we occupied our old positions and
soaked them as they limped back to
camp. They were wearing themselves
out.
"a few days ago they came, out in
strength, and when the Beers retired
Blake held to our position and we
waited for them, running up the. green
flag to make them raw.
The Beers don't carry bayonets; the
Irish brigade does.
"They shellcd our position for. an
hour. dropping shells over us and be-
yond lis, but doing no particular dam
age. Blake passed the word along the
line to wait and give them good fight.
"a real English regiment came at our
position and their officers called and
urged them on. am in Cassidy's COM
pany; he is an Arizona man, and we
have half dozen fellows, from Tucson
who are dead shots. We lay low,
squirting over the breastworks, while
our Tucson fellows tumbled over officer

when they reached the foot Of the
hill Blake ordered US to- cease firing,
and told a. few men from each COM

boys, give them taste OF the real

be heard mile off, and we went over
the entertainments at them with the
bayonct.
Surprised! You never saw anything
like it, a volley point blank and then
the metal! We went at them in good
Irish fashion. and some OF the Yanks
and Ohio chaps were wilder than the
Turks. The rcdcoats would not stand
for it, but went down the hill on Il
break and out into the open, sprnting
like greyhounds.

them, and there was badly-maulcd lot
lying around that we sent into the Eng

They wont be very hot to rush

Gloueestershircs. or some other such
name and if they don't get any better
material than that to fight us the Eng
lish are more likely to'march into the
Indian ocean than into the Transvaal
Il suppose tho Englisl, are rushing
in all the men they can get hold OF, but
as we have our backs to the mountains
and they have to come at us over our
own fortified positions, they will need
a quarter OF million men to do the
work.
Counting those NC have in the field,
those at Pretoria and around, and the
men who have come from Europe in
two months, we can count up almost
100000 men, and we have supplies to
