METHUEN'S STORY.
Gives Details of His Capture by the
Beers.

Beers.
London, March 1S.-The war Off
cials have received the following com
munication from Lord Kitchener at
Pretoria:
Lord Methuen has sent me a staff
officer with a dictated dispatch, from
which it appears that certain partic
ulars previously given are inaccur-
ate. The rear screen of mounted
troops was rushed by the Beers
and overwhelmed at dawn. There
was gap of a mile between the OK
and mule conveys. The mounted
supports to the rear of the screen,
with General Methuen immediately
reinforced by all the available
mounted troops and a section of the
Thirty-eighth battery maintained
themselves for an hour during which
the conveys were closing up without
disorder.
In the meantime 200 infantry were
being disposed by Lord Methuen to
resist the Boer attack, which was out
fianking the left rear guard. Two
guns of the Thirty-eighth battery
were left unprotected, but continued
in action until every man, with the
exception of Lieutenant Nesham was
hit. Lieutenant Nesham was called
on to surrender, and upon refusing to
do SO was killed
Lord Methuen, with 200 of the
Northumberland fusiliers and two
guns of the Fourth battery then found
himself isolated, but held on for three
hours. During this period, the re-
naming infantry, namely 100 of the
Lancasters, with some 40 mounted
men, mostly Cape police, who had
occupied the kraal near the wagons,
also continued to hold out against
the repeated attacks of the Beers.
by this time Lord Methuen was
wounded and the casualties were ex-
ceedingly heavy amongst the men.
The ammunition was mostly ex-
pehded, ana the surrender was made
at about $50 in the morning. The
part in the kraal still neld out and
did not give in until two guns and
pompom were brought upon them
at about 10 o'clock, making their po-
sition untenable.
1T is confirmed that most of the
Beers wore our khaki uniforms
Many also our badges. Even at close
quarters they could not be distin-
guished from our men.
1T is clear that the infantry fought
well and the artillery kept up the
traditions of their regiments. In ad-
ultion to the 40 members of the Cape
police already mentioned, few par
ties of imperial yeomanry and Cape
police continued to hold their ground
after the panic had swept the bulk of
the mounted troops off the field

HONOR THE DEAD.
Impressive Services Over Remains of
John p. Altge1d.


Chicago, March l6.-Representa-
tlves of all classes of people joined
today in final tribute of respect to
John P. Altgeld, who was buried in
Graceland cemetery. In accordance
with the wishes of Mrs. Altgeld, there
was no military display. For two
hours in the morning, before the cas-
net was sealed, steady stream of
people viewed the body as it lay in
state. William Jennings Bryan
served as honorary pallbearer.
At the grave, where several thou
sand people had assembled, Mr.. Bry-
an paid the following tribute to Mr..
Altgeld:
This occasion, sad as it is, would
be infinitely more sad if we were
committing to earth all that there
was of our departed friend. But the
better part of him, who we knew as
Altgeld, survives the grave. AS the
bird escaping from its cage enters
into a larger world, so the influence
of the deceased is broadened rather
than narrowed by his death.
He has proved how great are the
possibilities under our institutions.
Born in another land, he has demon
strated what one can do unaided if
he has ideals and purpose"

TESTIMONY OF DAUGHTER DAMNINC.
Spectators Excluded from the Court Room During the Hou

LESSONS Proving Motive for the Murder

Philipsburg, March 1S.-A morbidly
curious crowd thronged the district
court room today and hoped to hear
the salacious testimony which Mrs.
George Melville, the daughter of 80
seph G. Hunter, the accused, and the
widow of Hiram Otis Walbridge, the
victim, was expected to give in the
Hunter murder case. The curiosity
of the crowds, however, went unsat-
isfed, for Mrs. Melville was, through
illness, unable to appear in court. To
morrow forenoon perhaps she may

Napton this afternoon gave notice
that no spectators be permitted to be
present during the the woman's ex-
animation. Today's testimony was
quite important for the state, and
the crime of incest between Hunter
and the daughter was clearly indi-
Gated by evidence of two of the wit
