luton calling on the secretary of wal

authenticity and ~genuineness of the
alleged order for the massacre of the
foreign residents of sManila on the
evening and night of February Is
1899. The secretary of war has just

AN AWFUL CATASTROPHE.
Txyenty-One Persons Killed and Two
Hundred and Fifty Injured
in a Stampede.

Glasgow, April THE casualty
lists of the lbroX park disaster, when
a number of persons were killed or
injured, by the collapsing of a spec
tators' stand during the international
football match, Saturday afternoon,
between England and Scotland. have
been completed. They eclipse all the
reports and estimates of the casual
ties which were at first current.
The disaster has resulted in the
death of q persons and the injury OF
$50. Nearly two hundred of the lat
ter were so seriously hurt that they
were taken to infirmaries for opera
lions and treatment. One hundred
and fifty of them still remain in the
infirmaries. A large proportion Of
the injured had limbs broken. bodies
crushed and mangled and heads and
faces gashed. Several more deaths
will undoubtedly result from the
most critical cases of fractured
skulls. \
Yesterday the infirlnaries were be-
sieged by friends and relatives of the
victims of the disaster.
The action of the authorities mt
Ibrox park, IN averting Il more gen.
eral panic by permitting the game to
proceed, while they encouraged the
impression of the crowd within the
enclosure that the accident was not
so direful, is nov generally commend
ed.
The incongruity of the yells of ap'
plause mingling with the groans OF
the struggling sufferers will never be
forgotten by those who witnessed the
scene at the rear of the terrace.

THE BRITISH SURPRISED.
Only Desperate Fighting Saved the
from Capture.


Pretoria, April "details received
here of the r~ear-guard action during
the night of March 81, between the
Second dragon guards. of Col. Law
ley's column. and the Beers, near
Boschman's kop, show that a force
of 200 British, while e~ndeavoring to
surprise a Boer laager, rode straight
into a force of 400 Beers. The night
was dark. The Beers were hidden in
a drift and opened fire almost from
under the legs of the British horses.
A fierce hand to hand struggle Ell
sued. in which both sides freely used
the butt-ends of their rifles. The
British regained the ridge they had
just left, and began a rear-guard ac-
ton.
In the meantime, a strong force OF
Beers had barred the road back to
the British camp. The coming of day
light enabled Col. Lawley to see that
the guards were hard pressed. and he
dispatched achievements, with two
guns, to their assistance. The rein
forcements soon compelled the Beers
to retreat.
The guards had had a very hard
fight, and were ordered to retire by
squadron. The Beers disputed every
inch of the road, and continually at
tempted to rush the guards, shout
ing: Hands up"
At each successive position taken
up the British appeared in diminished
numbers. for as it grew lighter the
aim of the Beers improved proper
tionately.
Commandant Pretorius, who was
captured the previous day in a Cape
cart, was in charge of some Natal
scouts. The scouts rode into a party
of Beers dressed in khaki, supposing
them to be British troops. The Beers
opened fire. and Pretorius ESCAPED
in the confusion. One report says he
was shot as he fed.
Commandant Prinsloo is also re.
ported to have been killed in the
fighting, as well as other Boer Off
GERS.
The British wounded who fell into
Boer hands were we'll treated by the
enemy.

The Gallant Canadians SUCCESSFULLY ne-

Day For the British.

Kerksdrop, Transvaal Colony, April
"details received of the hattie at
Dornbalt farm. March 81, in which
the British had three officers and "A
men killed and 16 officers and 13l .1en
wounded. while the Beers had 81 men
killed or wounded, show that quite 3
600 Beers opened a strong attack
from different points, with three
guns and a pompom. This attack
was made in a moment when the Brit
ish had left their luggage in a iaager
in charge of the Canadian contingent
and were galloping across the open
plain with the intention of capturing
a Boer convoy, which had been dls-
covered five miles ahead. The I'ritish
retired steadily, and having dismount-
ed. opened Il return fusilade on the
Beers.
While the luggage in charge of the
Canadians was sent forward. the
British formed a camp and started
digging trenches.

sion. but otherwise it was not very
effective. as many of the shells failed
to explode. =,
The Canadians front was attacked
in strong numbers, but they gallant
w repealed every attempt made oy
the Beers to break through. One
party of the Canadians fought until
all were killed or wounded, and the
last of this party, although mortally
wounded. emptied two bandoliers OF
cartridges at the enemy and then
broke his rifle.
The fighting was sever 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 exhortations
of the Boer leaders.

ENTHUSIASM AT PANAMA.
The Conservatives Jubilant Over the
News of the Defeat of the
Liberal Forces.

Panama, Colombia, April 5.-This
city was the scene of wild enthusiasm
on the part of conservatives Thurs

stroyed the armies of Generals Fo-

territory via Medina, in the depart
ment of Boyaca, was also defeated
by'Gen. Nicolas Pardamo."
Gov. Salazar said that both victories
were of great Importance because
they meant, practically, the end OF
the revolution, leaving only the 18TH

NEAR HART'S RIVER
An All-Day Battle, March 81, In
Which British and Beers Suf-

THE Beers WERE FINALLY REPULSED.
Desperate Fighting by Canadian
Rifles. Who Held a Post Until Ev-
cry Man WINS Either Killed or
wcunded-Much of the Fighting
at Close Quarters.

London, April 5.-There was sewers
fighting all day long on March 81, in
the neighborhood of the Transvaal,
between part of Gen. K~itchener's
force and the forces of Generals De-
larey and Kemp, resulting in the re-
pulse of the Beers after heavy losses
on both sides. The Canadian Rifles
especially distinguished themselves,
one party commanded by Lieut.. Bruce
Carruthers, holding its post until ev-
cry man was killed or wounded.
Lord Kitchener's Report.
Lord Kitchener's official report,
dated from Pretoria, Thursday even
ing, says:
Gen. Kitchener (Lord K~itchener's
brother), sent Colonies Keir and
Cookson from Vreikul, western Trans
vaal, March 81, to reconnoiter t&svards
Harris river. They soon struck the
track through the bush. Emerging
on a plain large Boer reinforcements
advanced against their TANKS, fore
ing the British troops to take up a
defensible position, which they hasti-
ly intrenched. Fighting ensued at
close quarters till the Beers were re-
pulsed on all sides.
Boers Refused to Renew the Fight
Delarey, Kemp and other leaders
vainly attempted to persuade then
men to renew the action. Fifteen
hundred Beers participated in the
engagement, but they had suffered
too heavily, and cleared away to the
northwest and south. The British
losses also were severe. The Canadian
Rifles especially distinguished them
selves, one party, commanded by
Lieut.. Bruce C~arruthers, holding it:
post till every man was killed OF
wounded. Others of the forces showed
great steadiness, allowing the Boer'
to advance within 200 yards of them
and repelling them with a stead!
rife fire.

A S a spring medicine Peruna is a
II never failing remedy. It cleanses
n the blood through digestion, and
gives tone to the whole system by in
creasing the nutritive value of the
food. "Spring fever" as it is some
times called, which produces a tired
out, sleepy feeling, and inability to DO
much mental or physical work, is the
result of a sluggish digestion.
The great popularity that Peruna
has is due to the fact that in all such
cases it at once corrects digestive de-
engagements and enriches the blood by
purifying this very important source
of that vital fluid.
