ANOTHER DISASTER.
Beers Capture Five Companies of
British Soldiers.
The AEen Were GnArsaing the RziIroad AZ
Bethany, so Niles south OF BIoemfOn-
tsln, and Overwhelmed by -
Superior Force.

London, April Lord Roberts re-
ports that five companies of British
troops have been captured by the
Beers near Bethany. The following
is the text of Lord Roberts dispatch
to the war office:
s'B1oemfontein, April Another
unfortunate occurrence has happened
resulting, 1 fear, in the capture of
party of infantry consisting of three
companies of the Royal Irish fusiIeers
and two companies of the Ninth regi-
ment of mounted infantry, near Red
dersburg, little eastward of Bethany
railway station, within few miles of
this place. They were surrounded by
stronger force of the enemy with
four or five guns.
'"The detachment held out from
noon, April 8, until April 4, nine a. M,
and then, apparently, surrendered, for
it is reported that the firing ceased
at that time. Immediately after
heard the news, during the afternoon
of April 3, ordered Gatacre to pro-
coed from Springfontein, his present
headquarters, to Reddersburg, with all
possible speed, and 1 dispatched the
Cameron highlanders hence to
Bethany. He arrived at Reddersburg
at 1880 yesterday morning without
opposition but could get no news of
the missing detachment. There can
be no doubt the whole party has been
made prisoners"
The lost companies are probably
part of the force guarding the rail-
road at Bethany, 80 miles south of
Bloemfontein. The Beers are evil
IDENTIFY operating in force near the
railroad and there is a possibility of
the line being interrupted for brief
period at any time.
AS the captured British soldiers
were in a position to defend them
selves for nearly "a hours and were
then forced to surrender, the fighting
must have been severe.
Methuen Reports Big Victory.
London, April THE war office has
received the following dispatch from
Lord Roberts dated Bloemfontein,
Thursday, April 5:
''Methuen te1egraphs from Boshof
lin the Orange Free State, a little
northeast of Kimberley as follows:
Surrounded Gen. .ViIlebois Manuel and
a body of Beers to-day. None es-
capped. Mareui1 and seven Beers
killed, eight wounded. Fifty prison
ers.'"
Gen. De Villebois MareuiI was the
chief of staff of the Boer army. He
was about so years old, and is said to
have been responsible for many Boer
successes in Natal and later in Cape
Colony and the southern part of the
Orange Free State. 1t is said that he
entered the BOer service merely be-
cause war was his trade. He went
through a number of campaigns in the
French army.
In the death of Gen. Villebois Mar
euil the Beers lose their best in
structed soldier in continental
methods of warfare. AS the late Gen.
Joubert's chief of staff, his brain de-
vised the Boer defenses against Gen.
Buffers advance to the relief of Lady
smith.
