Canadians. A long line Of wagons was
plainly visible.
The Beers stopped their retreat and
opened fire with ten guns. They
seemed in great force and threatened
Hutton's flank.
Presently mounted Beers were seen
crossing the dry bed of the river. They
circled to the right and began TO emf
lade the West Australians, while many
of the British were hit by Boer shells.
The position became serious. The
Beers sent up reinforcements, placing
the Australians in danger of being cut
off. Thereupon General Hutton order
ed a retirement to Welgelegen, where
he had left his own convoy. A portion
of the forces advanced and engaged
the Beers to cover their retirement,
which was successfully accomplished.
The Beers continued to shell the re-
firing troops, but showed no desire to
press the attack further. Meanwhile
the Boer trains steamed away north

OTHERS TO BE ARRESTED
In Connection With the Neeley En-
bezZlement.

Havana, May 9.-Further investiga-
ton into the postal frauds show it to
be almost impossible that Neeley could
have committed them alone.
1t is now believed that sufficient ev-
idence will be forthcoming to warrant
other arrests. Although 10 charges
have yet been made against any one,
Mr.. Runce has been approached by one
man who is under suspicion, with a
request that he undertake his defense
in case a charge is brought against
him.
The Cubans do not say much regard
ing the disclosures, but they smile de-
risively at the development Of a large
defalcation, fraud that must have
continued for a year, in the department
which was most often pointed out as
an illustration OF the political honesty
which the Americans came to Cuba
to inculcafe.

Athe Insurance commissioner. This
action was brought upon note given
