ST. JOHNS, y. f.. June 1.-the
battered hulks Of the Petrol and Assyrian
are below water, with the exception of
the latter's bridge. The liners hull broke
off abaft the engine room during yestcr-
day afternoon, the cargo floating out and
but little being saved owing to the heavy
seas, which dashed the packages against
the rocks. The steamer Algerine, re
turning from Trepassey to the scene of
the wreck. will embark the crews of both
vessels, together with lady passenger
on the Assyrian, and bring them to St.
Johns. The Leyland line steamship As
syrian went ashore on the rocks near
Cape Race on the night of June ). The
tug Petrol. which had gone to her as
sistance and was caught between the big
ship and the cliffs, was also wrecked. 1t
is estimated that there was 100000
worth of cargo in the after half of the
ship. all of which might have been un-
loaded and saved last week. The gale
is still raging, and the sea is 50 high
that boats cannot approach the wreck.
There were no casualties when the As
syrian broke up.

British Detachment Surprised

De WET LOSES HEAVILY NEAR RElTZ
Victorian Rifles, Two Hundred and
Fifty Men, Obliged to Yield to SUI
perior Force of Boers-sixty
Killed and Wounded.

LONDON, June 17.-Lord Kitchener
has cabled from Pretoria as follows:
"Near Welmansrust, 20 miles south Of
Middelburg, $50 Victorian mounted rifles
from General Beaston's column were sur
prised in camp at Steenkoolspruit by a
superior force of Beers at 1880 p. m,
June .. The enemy crept up to within
short range and poured Il deadly fire into
the camp. killing . officers and 10 men
and wounding officers and 3S men, of
whom % were slightly wounded. Only
2 officers and 80 men escaped to General
Beaston's camp. The remainder were
taken prisoners and released. Two pom
poms were captured by the enemy. Full
details have not yet been received"
An earlier dispatch from Lord Kitch-
encr reports as follows: During the
march from Nrede General Elliot's col
umn engaged De Wet near Reitz June g.
After severe fighting Elliot captured II
loaded wagons, 40 prisoners, 80 rifles,
10000 rounds IF ammunition and 4.OUO
cattle. The Beers left II killed and 3
wounded. Our casualties were officers
and II men killed and l officer and "a
men wounded.
The serious reverse which Lord Kitch-
cner reports is the first accident of the
kind that has happened to the Australian
contingent, and it is supposed to be due
to neglect of proper picketing. Although
It is Offset by the defeat inflicted upon
De Wet, the loss of the guns is regarded
ms n serious matter, which will encourage
the Beers to continue the struggle.
More or less fanciful accounts are pub
lished on the continent of alleged peace
negotiations but there is nothing in them,

yond revealing the fact that Mr.. Kruger
will listen to no proposals unless they
are accompanied with n guarantee of the
independence of the republics.

spondent says that Cecil Rhodes. speak
