London, March 1.-THE text of

ing tine capture of Gen. Methuen is
as follows:

bad news of Methuen. He was NOV

Paris and 800 infantry, four guns

fell, with 1900 mounted men, at
Rovirainesfontein to-day.
YESTERDAY morning early he was
attacked by Delarey's force. between
Twe-Bosch and Palmieteknill. The
Boers charged on three sides.
Five hundred and fifty men have
come in at Maribogs and Kraaipan.

In second dispatch dated Sunday,
March 9, Lord Kitchener says:

with the remainder of the men. He
reports that the column was moving
in two parties. One, with the OK

started an hour later. Just before
dawn the Beers attacked. Before re-
inforcements could reach them the
rear guard broke. In the meantime
a large number of Beers galloped up
on both flanks. These, at first. were
checked by the flank parties, but the
panic and stampede of the mules had
begun and all the mule wagons, with
a terrible mixture of mounted men.
rushed past the OK wagons Al ef-
forts to check them were unayailablc.
Mai. Paris collected 40 men. and oc-
cupied position mile in front of
the OK wagons, which were then halt
ed. After q gallant but useless de-
fense, the enemy rushed in to the OK
wagons, and Methuen was wounded
in the thigh. Paris, being surround
ed, surrendered at 10 a. m. AIethuen
is still in the Boer camp"
Then follows the numbers of the
casualties, as already cabled. The
killed include Lieutenants &. T.. Ven
ming and 4. p. w. Nesham, of the
royal artillery, who were both killed
while serving their guns with case
shot.
As Lord Kitchener announced that
Maj. Paris had surrendered and also
telegraphed that he had reached
Kraaipan with the remainder of the
men, it may be inferred that the
Beers subsequently released the ma.
jor and his companions.

The fire started in the frame dwell

WASHINGTON, June g. The Off.
Gals of the British embassy here share
the jubilant feeling existing in London
over the termination Of the war in
South Africa. They view with much
satisfaction the close Of the long strug-
gle. Official notice of the signing OF
the terms of the surrender came to
Mr.. Raikes, British charge daffaires
here, in a cabcgram from the foreign
office. Ii was very brief and was in
accord with the statements contained
in the press dispatches. 1t probably
will be communicated formally to the
United States government today. The
impression prevails in official circles
that the terms of surrender noted by
the British in their negotiations with
the Beers have been very liberal In
character, perhaps from the double
desire to bring the war to a close and
to have this happy event formally pro-
claimed before the coronation Of King
Edward,
