BOERS CAPTURE METHUEN
British Suffer a Great Defeat
in South Africa-Three OFF,

Officers and 72 Men Injured.

Officers and 72 Men Injured.
LONDON, March 10.-It was
announced today that General
Lord Methuen and five guns had
been captured by the Beers COM
manded by General Delarey.
The news stunned the people of
London. The extra editions of
the evening papers giving an ac-
count of the disaster were eagerly
bought up and their readers hur-
ried through the streets with anx-
iouS faces. and bitter remarks
were passed upon the subject of
the governments declaration that
the war in South Africa was over.
The text of Lord Kitchener's
dispatch is as follows:
"PRETORIA, Saturday, March
81 greatly regret to have to
send you bad news of Methuen.
He was moving with 900 mounted
men, under Major Paris, and 800
infantry, four guns and pom
pom, from Wynburg to Lichten-
burg, and was to meet Grenfell
with 1900 mounted men at Row
raineS Fontein today. Yesterday
morning early he was attacked by
Delarey's force between Tive
Bosch and Palmieteknill. The
Beers charged on three sides.
Give hundred and fifty men
have come in at Maribogs and
Kraaipau They were pursued by
the Beers four miles from the
scene of the action. They report
that Methuen and Paris, with the
guns, baggage, etc, were cap
tured by the Beers.
"Methuen, when last seen, was
prisoner. have no details of
the casualties and suggest delay
ing publication till | can send
definite news. | think this sud
den revival of activity on the part
of Delarey is to draw off the troops
pressing DE Wet.n
subsequently the Beers re-
leased Major Paris and his men,
but will hold Methuen hostage
for the safety of several Boer Off
GERS now in the hands of the
British.
The fight in which General
Methuen was captured occurred
before dawn March Z. between
Wyn burg and Lichtenberg,
Orange River Colony. The Brit
ish force numbered 1900 men.
The Beers captured all the British
baggage.
Commandant Delarey, who led
the forces which defeated and cap
tured Methuen, next to De Wet,
is one of the best of Boer fighters.
He is against surrender to the
last. His operations have ex-
tended over wide field and have
been uniformly daring and i'm
pOrtant.
Delarey issued a proclamation
last fall, following close on the
heels of one issued by Lord Kit
chener, in which the latter called
on all Beers to surrender by Sep
tember 10. Delarey's pronounce
ment was brief. 1t called on the
Beers to disregard Kitchener's
threats and fight to the end.

WILL NOT CHARTER,
But Upton Will Lend Shamrock to Post
for His Crew Trial.

New York, Feb. 4.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton is quoted, in dispatch to the Jour-
nal and American from it's London cor
respondent. as saying he has not yet
received the letter from c. w. Post of
Michigan. offering to charter the Sham
rock to race against the Columbia this
year.
There may be a feeling in the Unit
ed States that the ShamrOck's defeat
was due to her crew last year." said
Sir Thomas, land it is very good of Mr..
Post to offer to man her with Ameri-
cans to try conclusions with the Column
bia sailed by Britishers, but not having
received the letter making a specific
offer 1 am unable to say anything def
mite at the present time. However, I
am always delighted to benefit or help
sport in any possible way, and I might
lend Shamrock in the interest of sport,
but understand 1 would not charter my
yacht at any price. l would, however.
agree to lend Shamrock to Mr.. Post
provided he adequately fitted her out
at his own expense for a contest with
Columbia if it is possible to send Brit
ishers to man the Columbia.
Frankly. l would rather see a race
between the two yachts this season
with American crews aboard each,
which think would be better test of
the relative merits of the. two boats"

These remedies are combined in loZ-
enge form, pleasant to take, and will
preserve their good qualities indefinite
ly, whereas all liquid medicines rapid
ly lose whatever good qualities they
may have had as soon as uncorked and
exposed to the air.
This preparation is called Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and it is claimed
that one of these tablets or lozenges
will digest from 300 to 5000 times it's
own weight of meat, eggs and other
wholesome food. And this claim has
been proven by actual experiments in
the following manner: A hard boiled
egg cut into small pieces was placed
in a bottle containing warm water
heated to ninety-eight degrees Cor
blood heaD, one of these Tablets was
then placed in the bottle and the prop
err temperature maintained for three
hours and a half at the end of which
time the egg was as completely digest
ed as it would have been in healthy
stomach. This experiment was under
taken to demonstrate that what it
would do in the bottle it would also do
in the stomach, hence it's unquestion-
able value in the cure Of dyspepsia and
weak digestion. Very few people are
free from some form of Indigestion but
scarcely two will have the same symp-
toms. Some will suffer most from
distress after eating, bloating from
gas in the stomach and bowels, others
have acid dyspepsia Or heartburn,
others palpitation or headaches, Sleep
lossness, pains in chest and under
shoulder blades. extreme nervousness
as in nervous dyspepsia. but they all
have same Caue. failure to properly di-
gest what is eaten. The stomach
must have rest and assistance, and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give it
both, by digesting the food for it and
in a short time it is restored to it's nor
NAL action and vigor At same time
the Tablets are SO harmless that a
child can take them with benefit. This
new preparation has already made
many astonishing cures, as for in
stance, the following:
After using only one package of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets l have received
such great and unexpected benefit that
l wish to express my sincere gratitude.
In fact. it has been six months since
l took the package and I have not had
one particle of distress or difficulty
since. And all this in the face of the
fact that the best doctors l consulted
