LATER TELEGRAMS DESCRIBE
BOTHA'S RECENT BIG BATTLE

Pretoria, Nov. 4.-Furthcr details
have been received regarding the at
tack by the Beers under Commandant
General Louis Botha last week on Col
onel Benson's command near Braken-
laagte, Eastern Transvaal. 1t appears
that General Botha, who had been join
ed by another big commando aggregat-
ing thousand men, attacked Colonel
Benson's rear guard October 30th on
the march and captured two guns, but
was unable to keep them. Colonel Ben
son fell mortally wounded early in the
fight
Major Wools-Sampson took COM
mand, collected the convoy and took
up position for defense about 100
yards from the intrenchments prepared
by the Beers. The captured guns We're
so situated that neither side could
touch them.
The Beers made desperate efforts to
ovcrwbelm the whole British force,
charging repeatedly right up to the
British lines and being driven back
each time with heavy loss. The de-
fcnse was stubbornly and successfully
maintained through the whole of the
following day and the next night. until
Colonel Barter. who had marched all
night from Bushman's kopJc, brought
relief on the morning of November 1st.
The Beers then retired. Their losses
are estimated ms between 800 and 400.
Colonel Benson did not long survive.
Not only did General Botha direct the
attack. as already cabled. but he per-
sonally shared In the fighting.

and no one will be seriously embarrass-
ed by the loss.
The total number of admissions for
tho six months was close to S,O00,000.
An average Of 100000 month had
been figured on by the exposition off,
cials. The great snowstorm Of last
April was a severe blow to the exposi-
tion. An immense amount Of work
was undone, and work on the grounds
and buildings was delayed for week.
Strenuous efforts were made to make
up the lost time, but May 1st vast
amount of work remained undone, and
the formal opening of the exposition
was postponed until May Goth.
The lamentable tragedy in the Tenn
pie of Music was another blow to the
Pan-American. The attendance had
been increasing stfadily up to the date
of the assassinat,Sp of President Me
Kinlsy. The gatesswere closed for two
days, and when they reopened there
was drop of twelve per cent. in the

1t ran through what was then his faith

In his hearing that that would be the

country, he made the youthful boast
that time would see IL road in opera

But l was not, for have lived long

Mr.. Gilman is the originator of the

claims that he has already been legally
executed. and that It Is not lawful to

Two years ago he was sentenced TO be

granted him an appeal. Through an
