by fire Saturday, with the foundry and
machine shop of the Totten-Hogg Iron

loss will reach almost S75O,O00 with in.
Furance covering the amount fully. The
confagration was one Of the most spec.

The flames from the main building of the
Armstrong factory, where the fire origi.
mated, spread with astonishing rapidity
and five alarms were sounded in quick
succession, calling all the engines in the
lower city to the scene.
Great excitement prevailed, because

Fortunately, the several fire-escapes and

In spite Of the firemen's good work the
flames jumped across the street and ate
their way into the Totten-Hogg foundry
and laid waste the foundry and machine
shop before they could be checked.

Crewe's spIenild Retreat 80 Caught In
Ambuscade and His Force Outnumber-
cd Five to One, lie EIuded Capture
and Joined Knox, Though He Lost
Heavily.
EAST LONDON, Cape Colony, Feb.
"Details have been received here Of
severe fighting at Tabaksberg Mountain,
forty miles east of the railway and about
midway between Smalldeel and Bloem-
fontein.
Major Crewe, with a composite column
travelling southwest, sighted the noun
tain on the morning Of January 31st. He
heard heavy firing and knowing that
Colonel Pitchers column was ON the
other side Of the mountain he concluded
that this officer was in action. Conse-
quently he hurried forward, only to meet
Boers streaming down and evidently re-
firing from Colonel Pitchers lyddite
shells.
Immediately Major Crewe brought
three fifteen-pounders and pom pom"
to bear on the Beers, who, however,
were found to be so numerous that it
was impossible to head them. Orders
were given to return to camp, about two
miles from the mountain. The column
rested until four in the afternoon, when
the march was resumed southwest.
Major Crewe was just touching the
southern point of the mountain when a
terrific rifle fire opened from a large force
Of Beers who were in ambuscade on the
mountain. The fight soon became gen.
eral. The Beers outnumbered the Brit
ish five to one and were attacking them
on both nanks and the rear. The British
pom POM jammed and became useless.
Major Crewe grasped the situation and
by brilliant move got the convoy into
safe position.
Between and in the evening the
Beers charged the position and turned
both tlanks. The British ammunition be-
came exhausted and Major Crewe was
obliged to retire and abandon the pom
pom,' after the advance party had en-
deavored to save it and had sustained Sc
we're losses.
n rear guard action was fought by
Major Crewe into the camp where the
wagons had been laagered. He personal
ly superintended the retirement. the
Beers harrassing him throughout. En-
trenchments were thrown up during the
night
When morning came Major Crewe
started to join General Knox twelve
miles southwest. The Beers Immediate
ly re-attacked him, compelling him to
fight second rear guard action for a
few miles. General Dewet personally
commanded the Beers, estimated at $500.
Major Crewe's force was only 700
Eventually the British officer Joined Gen.
eral Knox and returned to Bloemfontein.
Lord Kitchener has highly complimented
Major Crewe upon the achievement.
