MAKES FULLER REPORT.
KItehener's Latest Statement Re-
Eardins Battle at yIakfontein
shows BOers Are in strong Force.

London, June 5-Lord Kitchener, in
a dispatch from Pretoria, dated June
4, says:
''Dixon's report (of the fighting al Wax
fontein, 40 miles from Johannesburg, May
~ just received. On our side 1,450 men,
with seven guns, were engaged. The force
was returning to camp at Vlakfonteln
when the enemy, under cover of veidt,
fired. rushed the rear guard, consisting of
two guns OF the Twenty-eighth battery
and $50 men Of the Derbyshires and the
yeomanry. They temporarily captured the
two guns When the remainder of the
force came into action the Beers were
driven of and the guns were recaptured
and the Boer position was occupied. Our cas-
ualties were six officers and 81 men killed,
six officers and lis men wounded and one
o9ficer and seven men missing One officer
and four men have since died of wounds.
Forty-one Beers were killed on the ground.
The further Boer casualties are not known.
Requirements are being sent"
The war Office publishes the follow
ing dispatch from Lord Kitchener,
dated Pretoria. June 4:
jamestown 0Cape Colony surrendered
TO Kritzinger's commando on the morning
Of June 2, after four hours fighting. The
town guard and local volunteers were over
powered before our pursuing column could
come up Our casualties were three killed
and two wounded. The Boer loss is said
TO have been greater. The stores were
looted. but the garrison was released. Have
placed Gen. French in charge of the OPP
erations in Cape Colony"
The surrender of jamestown is re-
garded as disagreeable incident, be-
cause it has provided Commandment
Kritzinger with fresh supply of the
sinews Of war.
London, June 5.--Details received
regarding the fighting at Ylakfontein
show that it was one of the most
desperate engagements of the war.
Gen. Dixon's column was trayersing
the district and establishing posts,
when II was attacked by 1000 Beers
under Commandant Kemp. The Beers
were so close that so British fell at
the first yolley. The yeomanry held
the position, protecting the guns un-
ell they were nearly decimated, and
then, finding it impossible to save the
guns, the artillerymen shot the gun
horses to prevent the Beers moving
the guns. The column quickly recoy-
cred from the shock of the unexpect-
ed attack. The Derbyshires charged
with bayonets, and after a short, des-
perate fight drove off the Beers and
recovered the guns. The Derbyshires
and yeomanry both lost very heavily.
1t is asserted that while the Beers had
temporary possession of the guns
they shotctwo artille1ymen Ein cold
blood for refusing to work them
against their own comrades. The APP
pointment of Gen. French, who has
been recruiting his health in Cape
Town, to command the operations in
Cape Colony indicates that Lord
Kitchener attaches considerable inn
portance to the invasion. The re-
erudeseence of such fighting brings
further demands for the sending out
of reenforcements.

A letter to j. B. McCurdy, of this
city, from his aunt, Mrs. E. M Beatty,
a resident of Tacoma, Washington,
brings the news concerning former
well known and popular business
man of this city, e. M. Beatty. The
gentleman, it seems, has been suffer-

heart disease and there is no ture
for the ailment. Added to this he is
dropsical and has no use of his limbs
which are greatly swollen. He has
been confined to the house for the
past three months. His condition is
critical and the end may come any
hour.

There is now more life seen in the
little city than ever before in its
history. Thousands of dollars have
been spent in the city by the Iowa
Central bridge workers and by the
North Western gangs and this has
made itself felt to some extent. This
gave the start that was desired and
the town now has on new clothes.
There has been a reiuvenation that

Notea Gathering.

Oskaloosa, May 81, '01.
Editor HERALD. The gathering at
the home of Mrs. T. ]. Price May 20,
as already mentioned in the HERALD,
was very pleasant throughout. 1t
was very thoughtful and kind of Mrs.
Price to invite so many friends in
this way in honor of her mother-in-
law.
The singing of old WEIGH hymns,
the addresses, presentation and all
were very appropriate and inspiring.
The WEIGH ''Englynion" by Mr..
Jenkin Reese were among his very
best and the company by unanimous
vote asked that they be published in
the "Drych". He had also prepared
the following lines in English, and
although Mr.. Reese is not at home
with the English as he is with the
Welch language yet the bardic efforts
of this child of nature are always in
teresting and inspiring. The COM
pany asked that these lines be pub
lished in the HERALD.
How sweet and noble, o how grand,
To stir the SOULS delight
And meet together with true love
AS we meet here tonight,
To cheer and honor Grandma Price
With speeches, mirth and song,
And fly our memories to the days
When she was young and strong.
An ideal woman of the age,
With tenderness, and love;
Reigning supreme, within her heart,
Heavenly blossoms, from above.
Her hands are open to the poor;
Her table always spread;
With smiles of greeting and good wish
Some hungry soul to feed.
May Heaven bless Mrs. T. ]. Price,
For such happy thought;
To lift her grand old mothers mind,
Whose life SO nobly fought.
May others do to you the same,
While near the Mystic shore;
And Angels guide you to that land
or bliss forever more.

London correspondent of the Tage-

1902.
The Berliner Tageblatt comments
upon the London Times dispatch re-
garding the intended annexation by
the French of Hai-Nan as follows:
at goes without saying that such step
would be direct breach Of the declaration
OF the powers that they would respect the
integrity Of the Chinese empire. and it
would force the other powers to demand
compensation, which would be the signal
for the partition Of China"
