The Beers are still holding the waterworks
and the line of hills behind them
Following the scouts of General French's
cavalry division to the scene Of battle this cor
respondent Witnessed one Of the mos. terrible
spectacIes Of the war. Horses lay stiffened in
the various attitudes Of sudden death. and
mingled among them were CHASTITY human
bodies. with the wrecks OF wagons and food
and forage scattered wide. Everything told a
terrible tale OF surprise and carnage.
II would be impossible 10 conceive anything
more ingenious than the Boer trap and the only
wonder is that single man escaped.
On crossing the spruit where the ground rises
Immediately toward a grassy knoll, with stony
slopes facing the drift, came upon an in
closure from which il possible TO fire over
the drift. AT this point the spruit makes cir
cular bend, while the south embankment, which
is protected by the partially constructed railway
embanknent enabled the enemy TO pour IN
CALLING fire three sides. well a double
tier Of fire in front.
When the convoy was first attacked a scene Of
frightful confusion followed. The mules STAN
peded. and the wagons were overturned. while
the concealed enemy poured in deadly fire
When the fr--t battery appeared the Beers
seemed undesirous Of continuing the slaughter
and called upon the British to surrender. At that
moment. however, I Battery, Whlcn was eSca ping
from the rear of the convoy, under heavy fire,
wheeled into action and began shellng the Beers
with the four remaining guns. The Beers con
fess that this battery accounted for five killed
and nine wounded OF their losses.
Early in the afternoon he Beers collected
about the convoy began removing the guns and
wagons and permitted the collection Of the
British dead and wounded. The British actual
casualties were less than had been expected.
Despite this regrettable incident, II is i'm
possible not to admire the gallant manner in
which the little force was able 10 extrcate itself
from almost hopeless position.
The Beers who were hidden in the spruit when
the British guns were captured yesterday were
commanded by Reichman, a German-Ameri-
can.
The receipt OF this dispatch settles the disputed
point arising from the discrepancy IN the dispatch
from Bushuan's Kop. of Saturday, and Lord Rob

The travelling men say that, at the
present time. the retail business in the
State is rather dull. II is the usual
duh season of the year between the
winter ana the spring goods. Whth
only a small business is expected. The
wholesale business is booming all Tn"
time in spite of the dizziness in the re
tail. The retail prices will advance IN
sympathy with the wholesale as soon
as the old stocks in the stores are sold
out and new ones are bought. The
srring retail business is expected t. be
unusually good. Many are expecting
tn see larger trade than for many
wears. This partially accounts for the
good Wholesale business as all the re-
tail dealers are expecting rush later
and are. as a rule. laying in large
stocks for the spring and summer
trades.

A ClASN Call.

Once I sailed these seas, where are
the cann!bals, with corpulent cap
tain. Whenever a chief came on board
the first thing he was sure to admire
was the proportions Of our gallant tar,
and the chief would feel him and
smack his own lips and turn up his
own eyes at the prospect of so much
fatness-going to waste, as one may
say. These attentions our skipper very
much disliked.
Well, one day both boats were alb
sent trading, and it fell suddenly calm.
''The old man. fhe forecastle name for
skipper) and self were the only
whites on board. The strong currents

tom hundred yards from the shore.
The underf1ow from the waves kept
her from striking. The natives gath
cred OH the cliffs, as ravens to a car
cass, waiting for the catastrophe. I
took off all my Clothes and we waited
and waited for some two hours, the
natives recognizing the captain and
telling him plainly they would eat him
at last.
The strain on our nerves may be
imagined. At last the captains gave
way. "Goodby, C., old fellow" he
said. 'Those beasts will have me in
the ovens at once. You may escape
you are thin. II you see my old girl
again, tell her I was thinking Of her
at the last" This was said with a
gulD and O culver in the voice. But
just then the two boats came round
the point, having at last heard our
stern guns, and we were saved
