swept the city by a decisive majority.
Normally Omaha is Republican by
about 100 votes, and the majorities
on the municipal ticket from mayor
down to aldermen will range from 900

of the proposed purchase Of the water

upon which all factions of Repub-

for the legislative delegation, whose

London, March 1.-THE following
has been made public here:
''Boer Camp, Biggersberg, March 3.
The Federals have fallen back on
the Biggersberg chain that crosses Ma
tai south of Dundee. The retreat from
Ladysmith was due to the mistake Of
a certain commandant in ordering his
men to retire from the key Of the po-
sitiOn without any reason for the
move. On the receipt of bad news from
the Modder river Wednesday 1t was
resolved to send the wagons back to
Biggersberg and soon long strings of
OK wagons lined the roads.
"Over a thousand wagons took the
westerly route to the lager 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 am
munition were abandoned. The chief
difficulty was in dismounting Long

iments, total of 1900 men, has Occu-
pied Neuva Caceres, province of South
Camarines; Daet, province Of North

point and two Americans were killed,
including Lieutenant John b. Galleher
or the Fortieth regiment. The rebels
lost heavily.
On Feb. 20 the expedition arrived at
San Miguel Bay, landed, and in three
columns Immediately pushed inland,
converging upon Nueva Careres, and
attempting to control the enemy's
routes to retreat. At Lithuanian, north
OF Neuva Caceres, the enemy was con-
cealed in the rice field and resisted a
battalion of the Fortieth regiment,
which engaged them at close quarters
with bayonets. After forty minutes
fighting the enemy fled and Lithuanian
was occupied.
The Americans buried sixty-four Of
the enemy, whose total loss in killed
and wounded is estimated Mt No.
From Lithuanian the expedition pro-
ceeded to Nueva Caceras, the gunboat
Paragua arriving ten minutes ahead
Of the troops. The town was found
practically deserted. The Americans,
daily scouting in the vicinity, report
that the enemy have rctreated into the
mountains. The insurgents around

BUTLER PRAISES HIS TROOPS.
Also Pays High Compliments to the Long
Besieged Garrison.

Durham. March General Butler,
in a general order regarding the relief
Of Ladysmith. says:
1.-THE two forces during the last few
months have striven with conspicuous
gallantry and splendid determination
to maintain the honor of the queen and
the country. The Ladysmith garrison
for four months held that position
against every attack with complete
success and endured many privations
with admirable fortitude. The reliev-
ing force had to force its way through
an unknown country, across unforda-
BILE rivers, and on almost inaccessible
heights face a fully prepared, we'll
armed, and tenacious enemy. BY the
exhibition of the truest courage-cour-
age that burns steadily besides flash
ing brilliantly-it accomplished its OBJ
ject and added glorious page to the
history of the country.
'Ladysmith was successfully held
and relieved, and the sailors and sol
diers, colonial and home born, who
had done this. were united by one de-
sire and inspired by patriotism"
The order congratulates both forces
on the martial qualities displayed and
thanked them for their determined eff
fort. General Butler also sympathiZes
with the relatives and friends of the
gallant comrades who have fallen.

have been caused by a miner entering

open lamp. There were forty-two men
, In the mine at the time of the eXplo-
sion and If it had occurred twenty
minutes later the loss of life would
have reached 100 or more. The names
