JACKSON PARTY HOME.

Dr. and Mrs. j. Henry Jackson and
two sons, DR.. Fred and Harry, re-
turned this morning from three
months tour through Europe.
They arrived in Boston lIarbor last
night,on the steamship New England,
which was quarantined few weeks
ago at Naples, as was noted last night
in the Associated Press special to TIE
TELEGRAM.
DIR. j. Henry Jackson was SO busy
unpacking and getting ready to leave
on the 80 train for Burlington, that
he did not have any time for an inter-
view, but referred the reporter to his
son DR.. Joseph. The latter said that
the trip, as far as he knew, was one of
extreme pleasure until the arrival of
the party at Cairo, when two were
taken with sickness.
1t was also reported that the sur
geOn was i'll as he had not been seen
since the sickness of the two parties
referred to, but this was also a canard
as he was locked up with the patients
taking care of them.
At Jerusalem others were taken
with the dread disease and were iso-
lated until Naples was reached when
the party separated, leaving practic-
ally about 100 to continue the jour
ney.
The doctor will undoubtedly write
up his travels but just at present he
is SO busy with his lecture course to
give any thought to anything else.

Boshof, O. f. S., April 2l.-Mid-
day yesterday Gen. Methuen's field
force at Swartz KOpjes Fontein re-
turned to Boshof. Its convoy extend
ed over six miles. The escort took
up position on hill commanding
the road just in the nick OF time as a
force of 1000 Beers with two guns
suddenly appeared in the vicinity and
opened very heavy fire. The British
held them in check until the column
reached place of safety when they
retired. The British had several
casualties. The Beers fought de-
terminedly and must have suffered
considerably as they once advanced
within 300 yards of the hill which
concealed the detachment of the
British, who opened heavy fusilade
and forced the Beers back in disorder.
