About Describes the BOer commander
Burghers Less Humane.
Lord K~itchener's dispatch. showing
that the fighting lasted much longer
than was supposed, confirms the be-
lief that the disaster to General Me-
thuen's forces was due to leaving too
large a gap between the front convoy
and the rear; and to placing an INSULT
cient screen" behind the rear guard.
which brought about a panic among
the troops as a result of the BOer
onslaught. Much resentment is felt
here that the Beers wore British uni
forms and badges, but satisfaction is
expressed at the latest accounts of the
affair. as indicating that the British
troops behaved better than was sup
posed from the earlier reports. From
other dispatches it appears that Cen
eral Methuen was shot while riding
to bring up the mounted troops, and
that his horse was killed.
After the surrender General Delarey
rode ND and treated General Methuen
with the greatest courtesy and consid-
grafton. He ordered his return to
Klerksdorp under the care of his own
nephew and a medical officer. Accord
ing to the Klerksdorp correspondent
of The Daily MailX the burghers were
SO angry at this that a party of them
went out and brought General Methuen
back. General Delarey. however, over
ruled the objections of the burghers.
The correspondent of The Daily Mail
pays a tribute to General Delarey's
humanity and describes him as q
brilliant fighter and a born leader who
brings no bitterness or racial feeling
to his task, and who sternly represses
any excuses on the part of the burgh-
ers."
Further evidence of the ability of
the Beers to penetrate the blockhouse
lines is contained in a dispatch from

soft boiled; three hours to digest a boiled
apple dumping; three hours to digest
fresh roast beef. In fact, three hours is
about the time required to digest the
average twelve minute lunch. The OBJ
iect of the hasty lunch is to let the busy
man get back to his Office work. But
when the brain is active, the stomach is
inactive for lack of necessary blood. The
natural consequence is indigestion, and
indigestion opens the door to many dis
eases.
Indigestion is cured by the use OF DR..

which cures diseases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition,
and enables the perfect digestion and
assimilation of food.

Hebron, Orange River colony, which
describes how Commandant Mentz, the
night of March 10, crossed the He'll
bron-W olvehoek line at Gottenburg.
One Boer advanced firing his rifle. Two
pickets between the blockhOuses re-
turned this fire and killed the Boer and
his horse. The Beers then cut the wire
fence and drove in a mob of loose
horses, which knocked down 200 yards
of the fence. Commandant Mentz then
dashed through with over 300 Beers
and the pickets were powerless to stop
the overwhelming rush.

the screen. with General Methuen, i'm
mediately reinforced by all the avail
able mounted troops and a section of
the Thirty-eighth battery, maintained
themselves for a hour. during which
the conveys were closing up without
disorder.
Fault of the Mounted Men.
'In the meanwhile 200 infantry were
being disposed by Lord Methuen to re-
sist the Boer attack, which was out
fianking the left of the rear guard.
The Beers pressed that attack hard,
and the mounted troops of the rear
guard, attempting to fall back on the
infantry, got completely out of hand,
carrying away with them in the rout
the bulk of the other mounted troops.
Two guns of the Thirty-eighth battery
were thus left unprotected, but con-
tinued 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.
Those Left Behind Fought Well. as
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 remain
ing infantry-namely, 100 of the Lam
cashires with some forty mounted
men. mostly Cape police, who had oc-
cupied a kraal near the wagons, al
so continued to hold out against the
repeated attacks of the Beers.
Surrender of Lord
"By this time Lord Methuen was
wounded, and the casualties were ex-
ceedingly heavy amongst his men.
Their ammunition was mostly expend-
ed, and the surrender was made at
about half past nine in the morning.
The party in the kraal still held out,
and did not give in until two guns
and a pompom were brought to bear
upon them at about 10 o'clock, max
ing their position ~untenable.
Beers Wear the British Uniform.
at is confirmed that most of the
Beers wore our khaki uniforms. Many
also wore our badges. Even at close
quarters they could not be distin-
guished from our own men. The in
fantry fought well and the artillery
kept up the traditions of the regiment.
III addition to the forty members of
the Cape police already mentioned a
few parties 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"

Boston Strike Is Really "Off."

Boston, Mass, March 1S.-The great
strike of last week, involving 10000
men, was completely wiped out yester-
day, when practically every man went
back to his work under conditions but
slightly changed from those existing
when the trouble began. The only in
cident in the labor situation is the
strike of seventy-fve longshoremen at
the Clyde line wharves. About 500 of
the strikers can not get employment
