CAPTURED 600 BOERS
GEN. KITCHENER REPORTS BIG
"BAG, ON MAJUBA DAY.
Also Reports Serious Disaster to the
British in Another
Quarter.

A dispatch from London yesterday says:
Following the precedent of Lord Roberts,
who announced General CronJes surrender
at Paardeberg the anniversary OF the
battle of Majuba Hill, February p, ISL,
Lord Kitchener apparently selected the
same anniversary to achieve big success
by a combined movement lasting two days
against the Boer forces within the l1arri-
smith and Van Reenen line OF block houses
The Boer losses aggregate $50 men klled
or captured, and 2,OOO horses and 2S'ooo
head of cattle fell into the hands OF the
British troops. This news was SO welcome
to the British that it was read out IN the
house of commons today by the war sec
retary, Mr.. Brodrick, from dispatch OF
Lord Kitchener, as follows:
.Harrismith, February 2S.-I cSterday the
combined operations OF the columns terHl-
mated in driving the Beers against the Har-
rismith and Van Reenen block house line.
The River Wilge was held by the Leinster
Regiment and Elliou'S Mounted Infantry
from Harrismith. while the columns formed
on the Frankfort and Botha's pass block
house line. and advanced sou'h; hoialis
the entire country between the Wilge and
the Natal frontier. On the first night
very severe attempt to break through was
made at a point between RimingtonS ana
Byng's columns. and the New Zeaianoers
behaved with great gallantry. The nghtlng
was at close quarters and the BoerS, as
usual. drove a large herd of cattle in front
of them. 80
"Manie Botha, the Boer leader, was killed
and thirty-five dead Beers were found on
the ground Over 100 horses were killed
and 5000 head of cattle were left in our
hands Other small attempts to break out
were made and in two cases succeeded.
On the last day 45O Beers. with rifles and
horses, were captured. All the columns
have not yet reported, and the operations
have been very wide. but over 600 Beers
have BEEN seNher killed or are prisoners in
our hands; !; also 2C0O horses, 5000 head Of
cattle, 300 gons. t0.00O sheep. COO rifles
and OO06 rounds of ammunition. The pris-
oners include Gen. De Vets son and his
secretary, Commandants Meyer and
Truther, and several field cornets. These
satisfactory results are very appropriate
on the anniversary of Majuba.
The war secretary, Mr.. Brodrick, reply
ing to a question in the house of commons
today, said no details with the exception
of the list of casualties had been received
of the capture of British convoy of empty
wagons near Klerksdorp on February
a. No men had been reported killed, but
there were about 100 wounded.
Later in the day it was given out that in
response to an inquiry made by the govern
ment as to the fate of the escort of the
convoy, Lord Kitchener had cabled the
following message:
"a report has just been received that
Evening star., 1902-03-01

sixteen officers and 4J1 men were taken
prisoners. OF these, ] officer and 115 men
nave been released. Col. Anderson of the
Imperial 1eomanry. who commanded, Is
still prisoner. Major Enderby, who COM
manded the infantry, was wounded. Hence
the delay in obtaining definite information"
Lord Kitchener says nothing i'm his re-
sponse about the two guns that the Beers
captured with the convoy. The censorship
in South Africa has been excessively strict
for some time past, and dispatches have
consequently suffered serious delay. In
some cases they have been held up for one
or two days, both at Cape Town and Pre-
toria.
A dispatch .received tonight from Har-
rismith shows that Gen. De Wet and Mr..
Steyn were within the net described by
Lord Kitchener in his dispatch from Har-
rismith concerning the killing or capturing
of GOO Beers during the last two days, but
escaped before the line was completed.
TOnights dispatch from Harrismith also
says that Col. Rawlnson scored the biggest
success of the drive. He succeeded in COM
pletely surrounding a laager of 400 Beers
and gave them one hour in which to decide
whether they would surrender or fight.
The Beers, finding escape impossible. sur
rendered at discretion and not shot was
fired

A Way of Supplying Popular Books
That Has Worked Well When Tried.

From the New York Sun.
The duplicate library In free public libra
ries is plan that has been tried and found
successful In three four cities of the
United States and no doubt Will have a
trial In or near New York before long. The
idea originated i'm Louis, was introduced
in Springfield two years ago by Librarian
John C. Dana and may soon have a test
in Newark. Mr.. Dana recently became
librarian of the Newark free public library.
He has not yet made up his mind whether
the duplicate library would go in his new
field.
the scheme in considering plans for reliev-
ing the pressure in the ordinary circulation
department. He had discovered that many
of the patrons of the st. Louis library were
willing to pay something a day for a book
they wanted which happened to be out In
regular circulation. This was especially
true of the popular novels Of the day. Few
libraries can afford to buy copies enough
of novel to satisfy the demand when the
rage is at its height Sometimes as many
as twenty thirty copies are bought and
put on the shelves but these seem to make
little impression upon the demand.
Mr.. Grunden decided to set up small
special library He bought 200 or 800 books
which the daily experience of the library
showed 20 be most in demand and set them
up in a case by themselves, with placard
over them announcing thdt any patron Oh
the library might borrow them at one cent
a day a book. The scheme worked ad-
mirably and now the st. Louis library has
built up a good-sized duplicate library en-
tirely from the proceeds The cost of the
original 300 books was paid off long ago.
In Springfield Mr.. Dana's experience was
also satisfactory. The library lent $50 or
$50 for a duplicate library, and 1t was
opened with 100 or so books, the charge be-
ing two cents a day. 1t became so popular
that the fee was reduced to one cent a day,
and in the two years that the duplicate
library has been running go or 300 more
books have been added. When there ceases
TO be a demand for any of the books they
are either bought by the library proper and
put on its shelves or are sold at auction

MILITARY TO LEAVE CUBA.
Two Squadrons Of I'd Cavalry to Come
Home.

The Secretary Of War today approved the
recommendation of General Wood, military
governor of Cuba for the return to the
United States of the two squadrons of the
I'd Cavalry stationed respectively at Ma
tanzas and Pasa Caballos. The other squad
ron of this regiment recently returned from
Cuba and is distributed between Fort Myer,
Va, and Fort Ethan Allen, VT. The new
stations of the two squadrons now ordered
home have not yet been designated. The
Withdrawal of these troops is in anticipa-
ton Of the transfer of the government to
the authorities Of the republic. Although
not officially stated, it is believed that
there will be no further reduction in the
United States military force until after the
rev government has been full established
and arrangements completed for the actual
transfer of all the property now in the
custody OF the military authorities.
