Commanded by Grobelaars and
Lemner.

Bloemfontein, March 30.--S p. m.-
(Spl)-There was long range wide
and extended fight among the irregu-
lar hills beyond Karee Siding today.
General Tucker took his troops to
the bridge on Tuesday and on Wednes-
day camped near General French. Le-
Gallaiss mounted infantry held the in
tervening position before Brandfort.
This place proved to be occupied by
the Beers, particularly rocky hill,
which was held by commando of
700 with one seven-pounder which con-
trolled the railroad. The mounted in
fantry drew steady mauser fire while
the British ''pompoms" We're engaging
the hill gun. Men fell on both sides
while struggling for possession of the
u
hill, which was the key of the position.
General Chermside was engaged
from noon till o'clock when the Beers
evacuated the hill and the main ridge.
Then General French attempted to
outflank the Beers to the west and
they were seen galloping to the north.
The British occupied the ridge, from
which the New York Sun corresponds
ent saw the spires and roofs of Brand
fort glistening in the sun. -
The fighting showed that minority
of the Beers did all the work, the ma
jority having fled from the positions
they had previously held for the p,lr-
pose of drawing the British fire. Ben
nett Burleigh, the war correspondent,
took Rudyard Kipling under fire for
the first time.
A Boer pacifico who has returned
from north of Glen says there is anx-
iety at Kroonstad as to the wherea-
bouts of Grobelaars and Lcmner's com.
mandoes which are now in the south,
east country North of Glen the coun-
try is grassy and watery and the horses
become more fit every day.
A majority of the members of the
Free State Volksraad refused to at
tend the conference which President
Steyn called at Kroonstad to endorse
appropriations for the continuance OF
the war.
There was an impressive military
funeral this morning of Col. Cough

the purpose Of purchasing this lot un-
til bonds are sold, they endeavored to
have Mrs. WonderlyI extend this op-
tion until that time. This she refused
to do except on condition that five
feet less than her option be accepted
and that the city pay the special i'm
provement taxes. This the commit
tee refused to agree to, not thinking

to the option by law suit. The op'
tion was dropped, she returning the

the option. The committee decided
they could readily find other available
