Had to Surrender

Bloemfontein, Thursday, April s.
delayed in Transmission The
Royal Irish Rifles had been marching in
the eastern part of the Free State. collect
ing arms and were returning 10 Bethany
Tuesday when they were intercepted by
a Boer commando which had placed three
guns in position.
The Irish entrenched themselves, while
the mounted infantry secuted along both
danks, only to find escape impossible
The Beers opened with gun and rifle
fire. The British replied sparingiy wiki
rife fire, outstanding their cartridges in
the hope that help would arrive.
Gradually the Beers drew into closer
quarters. They fired intermittently dur
ing Tuesday night, but did not attempt to
rush the British position until Wednes-
day, when the Irishmen, who had fought
tenaciously, were suffering severely from
want of food and water. BY this time,
also the rifles had expended their last
cartridges. Finding that there was no sign
of suocor, they surrendered having fought
for nearly thirty hours. They lost ten
killed and many wounded.
Among the captured is Capt. Tenant,

looks for Foreign Intervention to
Put End to the War.

Lorenzo Marquee, Friday. April g.
President Steyp, In his address 10 the
Free State Volksraad at. Kroonstad, on
Wednesday, April 4, said the burgAers
were in a better position than at the
commencement of hostiliues.
He threatened those who had surrender
ed to the British and announced that the
Free State had borrowed half a million
from the Transvaal for the purposes of
war. England, he declared, had broken
every convention.
Referring to the correspondence with
Lord Salisbury, he observed:
The destiny of the republics is in high
er hands than those of the British gov
ernment, namely, in the hands of the
peopAe of France, Russia and Gernary,
who are agitating for Intervention.
''EThe war will soon end. If it be true
that Boer prisoners have been sent to st.
Helena we would be justified in consign-
ing British prisoners to the lowest depths
of the johannesburg mines"

A REMARK ABLE EXPERIMENT..
Iron Melted in EIisOn's Laboratory
in Five Seconds.

New York, April s.-A remarkable ex-
pertinent was made at the laboratory of
Thomas A. Edison at Orange N. j., where
a piece of iron was melted in exactly five
seconds.
Louis Dreyfus, of Frankfort-on-the-
Main, showed Mr.. Edison this new pro-
cess for attaining an enormous degree of
heat in an almost Incredibly short space
of time by the combustion of certain
chemical compound, which the inventor
keeps a secret. The chemical compound
is used in connection with powdered
aluminium
Mr.. Dreyfus placed a half-cupful of
this chemical in a small crucible and COW
cred 1t with a small quantity of the pow
dered aluminium. He then placed an iron
wrench about half an inch thick and six
inches long in the crucible. Touching a
match to the compound, Mr.. Dreyfus STEP
ned back and the mixture blazed up flu
riously In five seconds the iron wrench
was melted.
IT is estimated that the heat evolved in
the process was 5000 degrees centrigrade,
hitherto considered impossible to reach.
The value of the process is in welding
together steel rails and tubing.

Of the adverse attitude adopted by him
with respect to the temperance of the
autonomists in the political field.
A secondary object of the promoters was
to entreat him not to leave Cuba. Several
thousands assembled in the Prado, from
which point they marched through the
principal streets, with bands and hun
dreds of torches to the residence of the
Cuban patriot
CASTOR Mora, prominent member of
the national party, who acted as spokes-
man for the demonstrators, saluted Co
meZF IN the name of all Cubans and as
sured him that the Cubans desired him to
remain with them until the final stage of
independence had been reached.
"Our people," said Senior Mora, rightly
regard you, Gen. Gomez, as a true friend
of Cuba, especially because of the atti-
Sude you have taken in reference to the
Democratic Union party, which Is work.
ing in bad faith, and because you do not
wish Cubans to be deceived by the subtle
policy of the Autonomists, who have ever
been the enemies of real independence. 1t
is proof of the bad faith of this new
party that it is takng the treaty of
Paris as the foundation OF Cuban inde-
pendence, whereas the joint resolution of
the United States Congress is the guaran-
tee on which Cubans should erect their
structure"
Cen Gomez replied he was going away
temporarily. but that he would return to
share in the destinies of Cuba. He de-
clared that he had nothing against the
Autonomist leaders personally, but he
would remind them to bear in mind that

tion to the revolution, and that they
ought not to try to mix politically with
people whom they had so bitterly OPP
posed.
