went forth to greet the newcomers
The correspondents paid high tribnle
to the courage and heroism of the

were at all times going about cheering
and administering to the sick and dis.

There was strong force of British

\ Cape Town dispatch of March G
says that nearly the whole of the
Dutch population of Prieska and Ken
hardL districts are in rebellion, and it
is thought that the total number OF
men in arms will exceed 5000. An
effort will probably be made to quell
this uprising.
Surgeon Steyn cables from Lady

phoid fever in the town. A large sup
ply of comforts have since been re-
ceived there.
On Wednesday General French's
cavalry drove the Beers from an en-
trenched position four miles south OF

pletely routed, although the position
they held was a strong one. The cas-
ualties of the British were about 80.

BOERS EXPLAIN RETREAT.

A dispatch from the Boer camp at
Bggerstaff, gives the following with re-
gard to the retreat from Ladysmith:
The retreat from Ladysmith was
due to the mistake of certain com.
mandant in ordering his men TO retire
from the key Of the position without
any reason for the move.
On the receipt Of the bad news from
the Modder river, Wednesday, it was
resolved to send the wagons back to
Biggarsberg, and soon long strings OF
wagons lined the roads. Over thou.
sand wagons took the westerly route
to the laager southwest Of Ladysmith,
Another convoy was sent to the foot OF
the Drakensberg. A large number OF
tents captured from the British at
Dundee, and also the ammunition were
abandoned. The chief difficulty was
in dismounting "Long Tom"
The Beers were independent of the
railroad, as is shown by the fact that
not one of their two thousand wagons
went hy rail. All travelled by road
together with the field batteries. Only
heavy guns, the infantry and wounded
went by rail.
When the last train had left Glands
laagte, workingmen's train followed
carefully blowing up every bridge and
culvert between Ladysmith and Glen,
coe, and when this had been done set
ting fire to the Elandslaagte collieries.
Thus the British, with Natal's south
ernmost collieries in their hands, are
unable to draw supplies therefrom.
Under cover of the night and with
the collieries sending lurid flames to
heaven, the bullock wagons wound
over the hills, making roads where
none before existed, and the four
months siege of Ladysmith was raised.
1t is impossible as yet to give the
burgher casualties owing to the disor-
ganization of ambulance and the cir
cumstances of the retreat"

DIRE DISTRESS.
Lack of Food and Typhoid Malaria at
Mafeking.

Lack of Food and Typhoid Malaria at
Mafeking.
A correspondent at Mafeking, writ.
ing under date of February 10, gives an
idea of the sufferings that are being
felt there. Typhoid malaria has bro
ken out in the women laager, and dys-
entary, due to the lack of vegetables,
is rife among the garrison. The
Iuxuries that they have heretofore en-
joyed are exhausted, or have been
commandered for the hospitals. which
are full to overlooking. The children's
graveyard grows weekly, the young
lives being cut off permalurely by
shell and fever. the cheerfulness
which was characteristic of earlier
days has almost disappeared, the men
preferring TO remain at their posts,
rather than work up an appetite that
cannot be satisfied.
The natives are the greatest suf-
ferers. Those who are unable TO OBJ
tain work, are allowed a small handful
of meat daily. Many brave the dan
gers and wander about the town with
gaunt, hungry faces, in search of work
which entities them to an extra ration
of meat, and, oftenlimes, when they
do succeed in finding work, they are
too weak TO perform it.
From their advanced posts, the
Beers rake the streets and market
square, and it is impossible to dodge
their bullets. There have been 292
persons killed, wounded and died Of
disease up to the present time. The
garrison is said so be cheerfully endur-
ing these hardships, hoping aud pray.
ing for relief, with no thought of sur
render.

SEES BOER WEAKNESS.
They Cannot Overcome The British Armies
In Africa.

In Africa.
General Count Won der Goltz, com
mander in chief of the engineer corps
of the German army, who has recent
ly been mentioned Us likely success
sor to General Won Gossier as imperial
minister of war, is reported by Chi
cago Record correspondent to have ex-
pressed his views as follows on the
South African war, and particularly
General Cropje's defeat:
The famous reorganizrr of the Turk
ish army, one Of the greatest living
military authorities, is tall, erect and
man much younger in appearance
than would be expected. "The defeat
of Cronje," be said, twas inevitable.
We had expected as much for some
time, for he was opposed by force OF
more than 10000 men-fve or six
times as large as his command. We
confess that we believed his army
much larger; but in view of the devel-
opments we must accept the reports
as to the size of his force.
General Cronje's defeat was also
caused by a lack of provisions and
water. Under such conditions it was
Impossible to fight longer. The defeat
shows that in modern war the victories
are won by the armies that have the
strongest forces and that are able to
hold out the longest. The present war
i'm South Africa bears a striking resem-
blance to the United S,ales' Civil war.
With all the victories of the south un-
der Lee, one of the greatest generals
of modern times, the north won by
reason of its overwhelming forces and
the abundance of its supplies.
"The whole world sympathzes with
the Beers in their heroic fight; but we
fear that the British, with their great
strength, will defeat them in the end.
Such result seems to me inevitable.
The Beers in this war, with all their
bravery, have shown the weakness OF
being unable to take the initiative, to
make an attack at the favorable mo
ment-a condition frequently observed
in the case of volunteer forces"
Regarding the English, bis excel
lency said that they, too, like the SOL
ders of the north at the beginning of
the American Civil war, had learned
by reverses and showed improvement
in their fighting.
81 think Lord Roberts undoubtedly
will press on now to Bloemfontein," "
General Won der Goltz continued, "il
indeed, he has not already begun his
march.
"As regards conditions in the Trans
vaal, l can say: In former years l
had to be in constant touch with the
colony, and I believe the Boers are
capable of good government. That is

men were at work. Fifty dead bodies
were taken out on Tuesday. The
explosion made but little noise and
the accident was first discovered by a
laborer at the entrance. The injured
are being cared for as we'll as possible
under the circumstances and every
nerve is being strained to rescue those
still in the mine. The mines are on
the mountain side above water and
the coal is similar to that found in the
Pocahonias district. On this account
it is said here that the accident cannot
have been caused by fire damp nor by
gas, as supposed; but from dust, as
was the case in one of the tragedies
some years ago in Pocahontas mine.

p9 Speaking of big figures, they are
to be found in the annual report of the
Pennsylvania railroad, just made pub
lie. 1t carried on all its lines, during
the year, 76,643,54 passengers and
2O9,9s0,116 tons of freight. Its gross
earnings were 1852, ,169, LOG and its op-
Grating expenses, S1O6,5O6,9SS. Its
gross earnings for the year increased
$16,00O,000 over those of the previous
year; but its net earnings increased
only S4,O00,O0O, due to reductions in
freight and passenger rates and its ex-
penditures for betterments. The Penn
sylvania is the greatest railroad in the
world and the figures it gives out are
stupendous.

THE HISTORIC TUGELA.- The Tu-
gela, or Startling river, across which
the Beers and British have fought each
other back and forth several times, is
the longest stream in Natal, and is
described as picturesque and magnifi-
cent. 1t rises on the Free State side
of the Mont aux Sources, in the
Drakensburg, and at once leaps down
1900 feet, with fall broken only by
one or two ledges and reputed to be
the highest in the world. It then tears
through great canon for two miles
and is Joined by several rushing noun
tain streams. The 6rst important trbi.
utary to the Tugela is the little Tu-
gela, which flows in from the south.
Then comes the Kip river from the
north--the stream on which Ladysmith
is situated.
