BRITISH LOSSES HEAVY.
Three Officers and "A Men Killed and
10 Officers and 131 Men wound
eel ut Harris River.

hlerksdorp, Transvaal Colony, April
"details received of the battle at
Doornbalt Farm, March 81, in which
the British had three officers and "a
men killed and s16 officers and 131 men
wounded, while the Beers had 1877
men killed or wounded, show that
quite 1000 Beers opened a strong at
tack from different points with three
guns and pompon. This attack was
made at moment when the British
had left their luggage in lager in
charge OF the Canadian contingent
and were galloping across the open
plain with the intention of capturing
q Boer convoy which had been discov-
cred five miles ahead. The British re-
tired steadily, and, having dismount-
ed, opened return fusillade on the
Beers. While the luggage in charge
of the Canadians was sent for the
British formed camp and started
digging trenches. The Smelling of the
Beers stampeded the mules and
caused confusion, but otherwise it
was not very effective, as many shells
failed to explode. The Canadians
front was attacked in strong num-
bers. but they gallantly repealed
every attempt made by the Beers to
break through. One party of the Ca
nadians fought until all were killed
or wounded, and the last man of this
party, although mortally wounded,
emptied two bandolierS of cartridges
at the enemy and then broke his rifle.
The fighting was severe and general
for fully three hours, but after the
British had intrenched and the guns
got into action the forces repealed
numerous and determined attacks
made under the personal eNhortations
of the Boer leaders. Towards night
the fire gradually ceased and the
Beers retired. The British then tele-
graphed for aid and further in
trenched their camp for the night, to
await the arrival of Gen. Kitchener,
but the Beers made no attempt to
renew the attack.

The report recently made that dia-
monds have been found by gold pros
pectors in the Cape Nome country may
be true. In fact, the find was predicted
by former state mineralogist of CAL
ifornia, who had previously discov-
cred very minute diamonds in the sands
of Cape Nome beach. But it seems to
be little suggestive that the story
comes just about the time that the
navigation season is to open and when
the numerous concerns interested in
the Alaskan trade are engaged in
booming that country in order to Sc
cure plenty of business for vessels.
