BOERS MUCH DISCOURAGED,

British troops. Our horses are now thor
oughly rested and full rationed
This correspondent has conversed with
many Boer prisoners. both Free Staters
and Transvaa.ers All seemed convinced
now that the war must end in a British
victory. They had never before believed
that the British would be able to advance
except by railways and they had supposed
that the efforts 10 relieve Kimberley were
due to the necessity OF securing the Kim
berley- Mafeking line, whence the advance
into the heart OF the Transvaal would be
easy. Gen. CronJe. II appears, had stead
lily refused to believe II possible that the
British would make a long march away
from a railway. and therefore he totally
misconceived the object of the strategic
movement Of Lord Roberts, imagining that
1t was merely change of direction, in
order to attack Msgersfontein by way Of
Jacobsdal.
All the prisoners seemed equally con-
WINGED that when the British get to Pre-
toria some foreign power viii intervene.
II becomes more evident daily that tho
great necessity in the successful conduct
of the campaign of Lord Roberts Is larger
supplies of horses.

SHOOTING AFFRAy IN MEXICO.
Dispute Over Flag Ends In Eight
Men Being Killed.

CHICAGO, Feb. "a special to the
tribune IRON Guaymas. Mexico says:
On Washington's birthday a shooting
ARRAY occurred at Pilares de TERRA in
which three Americans and FIVE Mexlrans
were killed From accounts Il appears
a friendly feeling had existed at Pilares
and In order to honor the United States IL
was al ranged to raise the flags of the
TWO republics together on the flagstaff
The Mexicans had charge OF the affair
ana raised the American flag above the
Mexican, to the complete satisfaction of
the Americans But when the Americans
showed so much appreciation of the act
the Mexicans found that they had made a
mistake and decided to lower and reho.st
the fiags, with the Mexican on top Then
the Americans declared that such a trans
action would be an insult 10 the American
flag.
Superintendent Sanforth told the Mex
leans that they would have TO shoot him
before they could haul down the American
flag. IL was held that the flags should
have been hoisted properly In the first
place. The Mexcans were about to mob
Danforth when Charles Hogsett. who was
with the Rough Riders in Cuba. interposed
with a six-shooter in each hand Firing
from both sides Immediately ensued, and
Hogsett was killed. Capt. Evans and
Dick Pea, two other Americans. were NOR
tally wounded. But the Americans held
the flag pole and both flags fioated
through the day. Five Mexicans were
killed and the dance which was TO have
followed was failure. as no Mexicans at
tended, and there were less than half a
dozen Americans in condition for dancing.
