SPLENDID SITE CHOSEN.
City Council of Paris Indicates the
Spot Where the Washington statue
VIII he Erected.

Paris, Jan. 3. - The city council has
chosen the site for the equestrienne
statue of Washington. 1t is at the in.
tersection of Avenue d'Iena, and the
Avenue du Trocadero.
1t is fine site in the midst of the
American quarter, with the place du
Trocadero, the Palais du Trocadero,
the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs
Elysees close by. The pedestal has also
been approved by the council. The
United States ambassador, Gen. Hor-
ace Porter, has had charge of the mat
ter and has devoted much time to it.
He found that the French people were
greatly pleased with the idea of the
statue, which is the result of efforts of
patriotic American women, who raised
the necessary funds by subscription.
1t is desired to unveil the statue July
next, the anniversary of Washington s
acceptance of his commission as gener-
al, which act the statue represents.
Daniel c. French is the sculptor of the
statue and the pedestal.

ranged of farmers who can furnish
wagons and horses and oxen for trans
portation purposes, as this is regarded
as most important detail. A careful
study is being made of the small rail-
road branches in northern New Eng
land, and places are being located where
the road could be captured by very
small force.

Another Account.

London, Jan. 2.-The Daily Mail has
the following dispatch, dated January
i, from Rensburg: s
i Yesterday afternoon a big force of cav
airy and infantry, with ten guns, under
the personal command Of Gen. French,
moving by detour, occupied some hills three
miles from Colesburg, where the Beers
were In strength, confident in the natural
aid afforded them by the hills around
The enemy's position extended six miles
around the entire village. At daybreak our
artillery opened the battle. The Beers
were taken by surprise, but replied Wig
orously. An artillery duel was maintained
for two hours. Then Boer hotchkiss COL
lapsed and was abandoned. We captured
II. A Boer big gun was silenced, but this
and the other Boer guns were withdrawn to
the northward, where we are harassing the
Boer retreat by a damaging shell fire.
Colesburg is in our hands and the few re-
naming loyalists are jubilant We have
captured many wagons and a considera BILE
quantity of stores. Our losses were quite
slight, but the Beers must have suffered
heavily. They may stop at Achtertang or
cross the river altogether at Norvaps
Point, where the bridge is still intact"
Is Welcome News.
London, Jan. 2.-The success of
Gen. French in driving the Beers from
Colesberg has shot a welcome ray of
light through the gloom of the cam
paign in South Africa. Everywhere it
is commented upon as an example Of
sound tactics and as an illustration of
what may be done when the right
methods are employed with the Beers.
The government is urged to take the
lesson to heart and to see that no
stone is left unturned in the endeayor
to get the largest possible forces of
cavalry and mounted infantry to the
front. Now that Gen. French has the
Beers on the run, the hope is eX-
pressed that he will give them no rest,
but will harass them until they have
found their way across the Orange
river, which is ~ miles distant. The
old wagon route to the Free State
traverses Colesberg and crosses the
river by fine bridge 1870 feet long.
1t is believed that the Beers retreat
ed towards Norvals Point, further
east, and the question is whether
Gen. French will be able to secure
these two bridges before the Beers
destroy them. .s....
One important effect of the success
OF Gen. French is that it will prob
ably have deterrent influence upon
Dutch disaffection. There is some dis
position here to exaggerate the inn
portancc of small skirmishes and en-
gagements. 1T should be borne in
mind that Gen. French has only 1000
men, and so far as the important
points of campaign are concerned the

OFFICIAL REPORT.
Gen. French Tells of English
Victory at Colesburg. -


London, Jan.J2.-The following re-
, port from Gen. French of the Occu-
patton OF Colesburg was received at
the war office to-day: 'F"
SAT $3.50 Sunday morning, after a
night's march / occupied Kopje over
looking west Colesburg. The enemy's
eutposts were completely surprised.
Ishelled the Boer's Lager, the enemy
replying vigorously. But later, being
silenced, he retired northward where
he occupied a hill. The Beers were
also southeast of Colesburg toward
the Junction. Our position cuts the
enemy's line OF retreat via the road
bridge. A force of 1000 Beers with
two guns is reported to be returning
to Norval's Point in the Orange
River"

: report says he took 40 prisoners.
The British losses were two killedand
one wounded.
Details OF the Fight.
Rensberg, Cape Colony, Jan. Gen.
French has completely defeated the
Beers and occupied Colesburg. The
general continued to keep the Beers on
the move, and pressed them closely
Saturday and Sunday, giving them no
time to make a prolonged stand, and
when day broke he was within striking
distance of the enemy. Monday night
all the cavalry, artillery and infantry,
the latter riding in wagons to increase
the general mobility, started upon a
night march, with the object of turning
the Beers right. The flank operations
were successful. The infantry and field
batteries Immediately made feint at
tack upon the Boer front, and while
this was proceeding the cavalry and
light artillery got completely around
the enemy's right flank, as arranged.
The programme worked without hitch.
The Beers were utterly surprised and,
finding their retreat threatened, fled
in disorder to the eastward, leaving
Colesburg in Gen. French's hands.
