the fact that all the Government effects, in

his recollections Of this time. says that these
vessels landed and discharged their cargoes at
Lear's wharf and that their contents were then
carted away TO the War and Treasury offices.

@Plumer has occupied Petersburg

According to Lord Kitchener's de-
spatch only one officer and one man
was killed. The Beers evacuated the
town during the night prior to Plu-
mer's arrival, after blowing up two
trucks laden with ammunition.
