and Methuen was VOundedinth the thigh Paris, being surrounded, surre ndered at To q. m. Methuen is still in the I3oer camp"
 Then follows number of casualties. The killed include I,ieutenants c. J. Nennipg and T. P. w. Nesham. of the Royal artillery, who were both killed while serving their guns with case shot.
 As Lord Kitchener announced that Ma i0r Paris had surrendered and also telegra phed that he had reached Kraas- pan with the remainder of the men 1t would seem that the Boers subsequently, ' released the ma jOr and his companions. General Methuen was wounded in the thigh, three British officers and IS men were killed. Five officers and 12 men were wounded. One officer and 200 men are missing. The fight occurred before dawn on March : between Wyn- burg and Litchenburg. Orange River Colony. The British force numbered 1900 men. The BOers captured all the British baggage. General Methuen is held as prisoner.
 General Methuen was the British commander who led the army to the relief of Kimberly in November, 1893. la this expedition he. SuccesSlvely en- gagged the Botrs at Belmont, Gras Pan, Modder River and MagerstOnten. The British were successful in the first three battles but suffered severe de- feat at MagerslOnteln. The BOer com mander at Gras Pan was General De larey, who has now taken General Methuen prisoner.
 kltcheners dispatches announcing the dIsa,ler to MetHueu's forces were read in both the house of lords and the house of commons by Lord Roberts anI Mr. Brodrlck. Both pald tribute 10 General Me, huen, the former express ing his appreciation of Methueh's suc- cess thrOughUut the war, declaring his task in forcing the l5oer position at Magerofontelu was an almost lm mpOsslDl one. For over two ears he had carried on the work with zeal, intelligence and great perseverance and was beloved of his men; that no work was too danger Ous or difficult for Methuen
 The commander-in-chief was sure the house was deeply grieved at what had occurred. He would ask their Ord- ships to concur with him in sympathy for the gallant officer in his present unfortunate position, and defer adverse criticism until he had definite informa- tion as to who was directly responsible.
 From Delarey's conduct throughout the war all cOuld be assured that Meth uen would be taken care of. Premier Salisbury also expressed his deep sym patby and said IL was nOttilne to discuss his action. He was convinced Methuen had done his best in connection with, the most melancholy affair.
 A feeling of depression prevails in the Hobbies of the house. of commons over the news of the disaster in South Africa. Several members of the house expressed the opinion that it will ne- cessitate sending fresh troops to the front, while the belief is widely ex- pressed that the BOers will not fail 10 take advantage of Methuen's promi- nence and hold him as hostage for the safety of Commandant Kritzipger and other Boer leaders now in the hands Of the British.

Ft,Il Account of the Capture of lord Methuen.
TOLD: BY KITCHENER
Boers Captured durs, and Baggage and Took Many. Pris oners-FeeIing of Depression Prevailed in England on Receipt of the News.

On April l9 the NUGGET published exclusively q London dispatch, dated March 10, announcing the defeat by the Boers of British force in South
 Africa. Following is the text of Lord Kitchener'S dispateh'
 :. Greatly regret to send you bad news of Methucn. He was morlng with 9GO
 mounted men under Ma i0r Paris, 3OO
 infantry and four guns and pompons, from Wyburg to Litchenburg, where he was to meet Grenfell with 1900 men at ROvieraines Fontein today. Iester- day morning early he was attacked by |. Delareys force between Tvebosh and . Pamietkrill. The Boers charged on three sides. Five hundred and fifty men have como in at MaribOgs and
 Kraspan. They were pursued by the
 Boers four miles from the scene of ac- sion.- They report that Methuen and
 Paris, with guns, baggage, etc, were captured by the Boers. Methuen when last seen was prisoner. Have no de- tails of casualties, and suggest delaying publication until can send definite news. Think this sudden revival of activity on the part of Delarey is to ,dSaw of the troops pressing Dewet.'
 s,-Iu 3 second dispatch Lord Kitchener says: !
 = .Papis has come in at Kraaspan with the repainder of the troops. He re- tprts that the column was moving in two papties; one, with OK wagons, left TvobOsh at 5 q. .rl., the other, with mule wagons, started au hour later. Just befors.dawn.. the Boers attacked. Before endorsements could reach them the rear guard broke. In the s large number of Boers gallor6d dp on both Hanks.
