THE FIGHTING At RENSBURG.
Account of n Correspondent Who Was
with the Beers

Lourenzo Marquee, Monday, Feb. 10.
A correspondent who was with the
Boer forces in the attack upon Rens-
burg gives further particulars regard
ing the capture of the Wiltshires. He
says: Commander Peller, who arrived
first, found two companies Wiltshtres
and began attacking in the open. Soon
after he was Joined by a body of Free
Staters and together they drove the
British back from the neighboring kop-
jes, capturing all but three. 1t is i'm
possible to say exactly how many of the
British were killed and wounded but of
the 200 Wiltshires 142 were captured
and of these forty-four were wounded.
THE suffering OF the wounded from
heat and thirst was intense The
burghers did their best to alleviate this
and many of the wounded We're carried
in blankets to Rensberg Siding. At
Rietfoutein the British rear guard be-
gan Smelling, thus compelling the fed
erals to leave the wounded in order to
repulse the attack. A federal Krupp
gun replied effectively to the British
cannonade. The Beers lost two killed
and four wounded. They now occupy
all the Rensberg positions formerly oc-
cupied by the British, whose rear guard
is at Rietfontein with the federals
closs up.

PORTO RICAN TARIFF DEBATE.
Importance of the QueStion II Involve
Regarding COmstitntI oMnl Pox oxver.

NeEnrutnS constitutions ROVER.
Washington, Feb. 19.--The debate
upon the Porto Rican tariff bill, which
is to continue throughout the week and
possibly longer, opened in the house
to-day. On all hands it is agreed that
this bill, although it applies only to
Porto Rico, involving as 1t does the
question of the power to govern our
new possessions outside the limitations
of the constitution, is the most import
ant measure which will come before
congress. The democrats are solidly ar
rayed against the measure and they
will have powerful support from the re-
publican side in Mr.. Mccall of Massa-
chusetts and Mr.. Littlefield Of Maine,
both able and forceful debaters. How
far the republican disatrection will ex-
tend or whether it will endanger the
bill 1t Is impossible to say at this time.
Mr.. Payne, the floor leader Of the ma
jority, refused to agree that vote
should be taken upon a substitute to
be offered by the minority. This sub
stitute, which has not been framed, will
be in substance the bill originally in
troduced by Mr.. Payne, providing for
free trade with Porto Rico by the ex-
tension of the customs and revenue
laws Of the United States over the
island. The debate to-day lacked eX
citing features. 1t was in the nature Of
Il long bombardment before the clash
of the contending parties in battle.

Washington, Feb. ia simple reso-
luton of inquiry introduced in the SEN
ate to-day by Mr.. Hale of Maine pre-
cipitated a constitutional debate which
was prolonged for more than an hour
and was participated in by some Of the
ablest constitutional lawyers in the
body The discussion finally turned ON
the authority of congress at its pleasure
to extend the constitution to territory
acquired by the United States or to
withhold 1t from such territory The
bill providing government for the ter
ritory of Hawaii was under considera-
tion most of the afternoon. Mr.. Cullom
in charge of the measure explained in
detail it's provisions.

4GATNST CHRISTIAN u URIAL.
Strange Wish of the Late Marquis of
Quecnsbury.

London, Feb ia codcil to the will
of the Marquis of Queensbery, who died
on February t. made the following pro-
visions: "At my death l wish to be ere
mated, and direct that my ashes be
placed in the earth unenclosed, earth
to earth, ashes to ashes in any spot
convenient that | have loved. / par
ticularly request that no Christian
mummeries or tomfooleries be perform
ed at the grave, but that l be buried
as an agnostic. If it should be a COM
fort to any one there Is a plenty of
friends who would come to say a few
words of common sense. No monument
Will be required nor any procession, as
the ashes can be carried in mans
hand. If the places I mention to my
son should be inconvenient for burlel
then any place would suffice where the
stars shall ever shed their light and the
sun shall gld each rising morn."

SHdRKEY WHIPS JEFFORDS.
Big Californian KnOckc d Out TN Second
Round--A Foul Claimed.

Detroit, Feb, 19.-Tom sharkey to-
night knocked out Jim Jeffords, the
California aspirant for heavyweight
honors, in the second roun Of what was
to have been a ten-round bout. The
men had fought two minutes and six
seconds in the second round when the
Knockout was delivered. They were
breaking from clinch when Sharkey
whipped his right over to Jeffords' head
and Jeffords went down. Referee Ho-
gan counted him out and it was sew
eral minutes before he recovered suffi-
GENTLY to talk. Then he claimed a
foul saying Sharkey hit him in the
breakaway, although they had agreed
to break clean. The referee refused to
entertain the "kick" and awarded the
fight to Sharkey amid many cries Of
foul from the spectators, who de-
clared that Sharkey had struck Jeffords
during a clinch. This was not so how
ever. About $500 people saw the fight.

HIS FEET Badly FROZEN.
Thomas Brown, of New Haven, Found
in Newfield Barn.

Middletown, Conn, Feb. 19.-Thomas
Brown, aged about forty, who claims
to have his home in New Haven, was
found in Wallace Tuttle's barn at New
field, near the brick yard, this after
noon with his feet badly frozen. He
was brought to this city and taken to
the temporary hospital. Though his
feet are in bad condition it is believed
that it will not be necessary to resort
to amputation. Brown says that he
was on his way from New Britain to
Middletown Saturday afternoon, when
he was overcome by the storm, and
sought shelter in the barn. Sunday
morning he discovered that his feet
were frozen and that he was unable to
walk. Since then he has been endeav-
oring to attract attention, but it was
not until this afternoon that his shouts
for help were heard. Brown is in a
very weak condition.

Rutland, VT, Feb. 19.-Percival M.
Clement. president of the Rutland Rail-
road, entered in a contract to-day to
buy all the stock of the Bennington and
Rutland railroad presumably for the
Rutland railroad This means that the
Bennington and Rutland passes into
control of the Rutland. The officers of
the Bennington and Rutland will trans
fer to this city and it may also be
necessary to consolidate the shops and
rearrange the Rutland freight yards
General J. G. McCulloch, president of
the London and Rutland road left Ben
nington for New York to-day. He be-
lieves that the purchase will bring the
road in closer connection with the New
York Central and be great advantage
to the travelling public.

A CONTRACT DECIDED UPON.
New Haven sprinkling Company VIII
Sprinkle Car Track Streets.

The special street sprinkling commits
tee met last night and made final ar
rangements to provide for street sprink-I
ling to begin on March Is next and con-
tinue for 251 days. The committee in
structed the director of public works to
make contract with the New Haven
Street Sprinkling company to sprinkle
those streets on which there are car
tracks. This contract will be for the
sprinkling of those portions of the track
streets which the city is required to
sprinkle, and does not include those por-
tions which must be attended to by the
street railroad companies.
The committee figured out that to-
sprinkle the city's share of those streets
would require twelve sprinkling carts.
The New Haven Street Sprinkling COM
pany has agreed to take the contract
for SO 1000 and to put on enough sprink-
ling carts to do the work to the satis-
faction of the director of public works.
1t was also decided to instruct the direc-
tor to have the company file bond to
do the work satisfactorily.
The committee had previously decided
to purchase forty-five carts, and it Is
thought that all of these can be pur-
chased secondhand in New Haven. An
inspector will be sent around to inspect
the carts to-day and see that they are
in good working order. 1t was at first
expected that at least $4,000 would be
required to purchase the frty-five carts
which will be needed, but the commits
tee has arranged to buy them at total
cost of about $4,000, the price per cart
ranging from $3.50 to $500, according to
the condition of the cart.
1t is now practically decided that men
and horses to operate the sprinkling
carts will be hired from local contrac-
tors, who have agreed to furnish them
at the rate Of $4 per day for man and
two horses. This rate is offered for 251
days, including those days when the
dust is laid by rain. No contractor
would agree to furnish them for that
price only on days when sprinkling
would be required,

USE OF NATIYES IN THE VAR.
Mr.. Wyndham Answers an Attack in
House of Commons.

London, Feb. 19.-In the house Of
commons to-day John Dillon, national
ist, vigorously protested against the
threatened use of natives in the war in
South Africa. Mr.. Wyndham, replying
said "The government are doing their
best in circumstances of great difficulty
to prevent any such horrible occur
renee; but, if the Beers attack any other
nation we are not going to prevent that
nation from defending itself" Mr. Red
mond declared that the principal Euro
pean ma atoms were against Great Britain
in this war and that the great mass of
public opinion in the United States was
in the same direction ministerial cries

CRONJE PROBABLY TRAPPED
ca BTNET MElTBER SAYS He rs
HOPELESSLY SURROUNDED.
The War Office is Mum, However--Mr.
Wyndhnm Declares That the Govern
ments News Is Extremely Satisfactory
General Butler Breaks Through the
BOer Defenses-Occupies nn Important
Tactical Position.
Tactical Position.

London Feb. 20-4:45 a. ma mem
ber of the cabinet told II. w. Lucy, a
member of parliament, tonight that the
war office had received telegram an
nouncing that General Cronje was hope
lessly surrounded. At midnight the war
office announced that it had nothing
further for publication then. In the lob
bies of the house of commons last even
ing, however it was rumored that Cen
eral Cronje's army was surrounded, that
General French had got between the
Boer forces and Bloemfontein, and that
he was only awaiting reinforcements to
close in on the enemy No confirmation
of this rumor is obtainable, although the
general idea Is that the government has
received important dispatches
Mr.. Wyndham was beset by anxious
members of the house, but would only
reply that the governments news was
extremely satisfactory. The sole expla-
nation OF the government in withhold
ing good news is that confirmation and
more details are awaited. The situation
as disclosed by correspondents over the
Free State border is tantalizing to the
public expectation. The elementary
facts are that the Beers are trekking
eastward toward Bloemfontein, with
slow moving baggage trains, and that
they are pursued by Lord Kitchener,
with General Kelly-Kenny's division
General Macdonald, with the High
Ianders, has made forced march to
Koodoo's Rand ford and on Sunday
pushed twenty miles eastward. Gener-
al French left Kimberley Saturday, go
ing east along the Modder river. Lord
Kitchener is trying to outmarch and
outfiank the beers, thus checking their
retreat, If possible, and driving them
back into the hands of General French
The war office message to Mr. Lucy
seems to indicate that Lord Kitchener
has either got ahead of the Beers or
is about to realize his plan and that the
war office wants to announce decisive
result.
Meanwhile Commandant Delarey,
with the Beers from Colesberg, is
hanging on to the right flank of the
British pursuing column, seeking to de-
lay their movement and so to assist
the Boer wagon trains to escape. Stu
dents of topography think the Beers
will hardly risk fight until they get
into the rough country north of Bloem-
fontein.

London, Feb. 19.-John O'Donnell
and Major John Mcbride, the latter
commanding the Irish brigade for the
nominated to fill the vacancy in the
house of commons for South Mayo
caused by the designations, October 26,
1899, of Michael Davitt, Irish national
ist, as a protest against the Boer war.
The Globe this afternoon declares that
if Major Mcbride is qualified for cleo
ton to parliament, he is also liable to
be shot as a traitor as soon as captured,
as only British subjects are eligible for
election to the house of commons.
