The British Withdrew.

RENSBURG, Tuesday February Is.
Before dawn yesterday the enemy
opened an attack upon Slingersfontein,
assaulting with musketry the hills on
the northeast held with three COM
panies of the Worcesters under Cap
tain Howell. The artillery attack be-
gan at sunrise. The Beers appeared
in great numbers estimated at 7 to /.
The British under good cover, sustain
ed the attack throughout the day.
Meanwhile two big guns on the west
opened upon the British at daylight
and fired for half an hour when a
British Howitzer silenced them with
lyddite, the British artillery firing with
precision.
Then another Boer gun to the north
opened on the Royal Irish rifles but
rather Intellectually, as the rifles had
good cover.
The Smelling continued all day and
last evening the Beers brought up a
forty FOUNDER in order to lombard
the camp from a hill to the north. The
attempt was plainly as the gun could
be seen being drawn up by Is oxen.
With the Beers surrounding the
British in overwhelming numbers and
artillery it then became evident it
would be impossible to retain SINGERS
fontein which the British evacuated
under cover of the darkness, falling
back upon Rensburg. The British cas-
ualties were lighter than might have
been expected in the circumstances.

CINCINNATI, O., February IL
Holding that the Federal Court had nc
Jurisdiction in the contests in Ken

fused to grant the application for in

Judge Taft finished reading his

MED the applications for injuactions
in both in the Kentucky suits.
After citing the law showing that the
Federal Court had no Jurisdiction in
such cases, he reviewed the Goe-
bel election law as the most
infamous statute that had ever
come before the attention of
a court and also denounced
in very vigorous terms the conditions
that have existed il Kentucky and
that are cited In the bill of facts. But

HAVANA, Nov. 1.-THE Cuban con.

cussed the report Of the committee on
credentials regarding the status Of the

ohinery. He cited instances where in
the case of some towns in Havana
province more ballots had been cast
than there were voters, remarAing sig.

Nationalist candidates.

ceptlng the report, pointing out that,
with even all the doubtful votes thrown
out, there would be no change in the
result.
Senior Giberga of tho old Autonomist
party made the speech of the day. He
sala chat he was only representative
of the past, but he would caution the
convention to proceed wisely. II there
had been fraud in the election of dele
gates, the duty of the convention was
to right the wrong. He sharply criti.

Na.rr,alists in Havana in choosing
