Prisoners.London, February 19.—(Special)—7.10 p.m.—It is said that the War Office has received good news from General French in reference to General Cronje.London, February 19.—(Special)—3 08 p.m.—It is officially an nounced that General luller reports he has captured several camps, a quantity of ammunition, and a number of prisoners.General Buller.in his despatch, states that he began by assaulting with heavy artillery fire on their front and flank, and attacked on thcir flank and rear.The enemy made but slight resistance, and, abandoning their strong position, were driven acro*s the Tugela.I have taken several camps, a waggon load of ammunition, sever al waggons of stores and supplies, and a few prisoners.The weather has been intensely hot, and the ground traversed exceedinly difficult but the energy and dash of the troops has been pleasant to see.They have all done splendidly.The work of the irregular cavalry, the Queen’s, the Scots Fusiliers and the Rifle Brigade, was perhaps most noticeable, while the excellent practice of the artillery and naval guns, and the steadiness of the gunners, under, at times, very accurate fire, was remarkable.The accurate fire of the naval guns from Chieveley was of great assistance.Our casualties are not, I think, many.Sterkstroom Camp, Sunday—Boers are retiring, and General Brabant’s forces now entering Dordrecht.__ — The London, February 19 Daily News publishes the follow irg despatch, dated Sunday morning, February 18, from Modder River .44 Oui suddeh appearance seems to have abounded the enemy and thrown them into a panic.All their positions were hurriedly evacuated and the big guns at Magers fontein and Kimberley were left behind.44 General Cronje moved his transpoit, consisting of 1 any hundred wraggons, along a bank of kopjea north of the Mode er, towards Koff) fontein.It got past our mounted infantry, but, owing to weariness, had to stop.There upon our a tillery opened up on it.The main body of the Boers force kept up a running fire the whole day, vainly trying to escape.“ Each time their advance guard sought to move off, our mounted infantry galloped round and checked them.We nevtr attempted to stop their main movement, contenting ourselves with trying to check them.“Their position at Koffyfontien is said to be very strong.Thty entertain a wholesome dread of 10,000 cavalry moving more quickly than they do themselves.We hope to be in Bloemfontein shortly FORCE POSITION AT POINT OF BAYONET.Birds River, February 17.— General Brabant’s horse, 2000 strong, commenced the march from Penhook Thursday morning over a track ess veldt and through a mountainous and difficult country.Early on P" rid ay morning they were fired upon and the firing continued all day and well into the nignt, the British clearing the Boers out of successive pos tions, under a terrific rifle fire lasting eight hours.Towards midnight Friday the British forced the Boers at the point of the bayonet off their position, an important one overlooking Dordrecht.Artijlery duel was continued to-day.The British casualties were eight killed, including Capt.Crallan and Lieut.Chandler and eight wounded The British captured some prisoners and a quantity of forage and provisions.The position near Dordrecht now is that the Boers occupy a strong hill north of the town and that the British hold a commanding position to the south, Both are maintaining a bi sk exchange of.shells over Dordrecht Dordrecht is a place of local importance, where the railway from East London to the Free State connects with a line to the east.It is in advance of the old British positions.CRONJE GOT THE START.London, February 19 -It is now amply confirmed thit General Cronje escaped.Erery detail received, however, proves how admirably Lord Roberts’ plans were which was almost impassable for wagons, the whole Boer force would have been surrounded.The delay of one day there gave them a chance for a hasty retreat.CL AIVI CON JE IS A PRISONER.London, Febrary 18.— Rumors have been in circulation at the clubn and elsewhere in London this evening that Gen eral Cronje, with an army of 7,000 men has been captured.Apparently they emanated from the continent.No confirmation of them can he obtained here.GRENADIERS 1 O SPLENDID WORK.London.February 16.—A mutilated despatch from Cape Town, dated Wednesday, February 14, says some Grenadieis went through a body of eighty B >ers four times and that only seventeen of them escaped As the Grenadiers form part of the Modder River column this bayonet charge may be connected with Lord Roberts movemeul.BOERS IN FULL RETREAT Jacobsdal, Friday, Feb.16.—Via odder River.-—General Cronje with 10,000 men, is in full retreat towards Bloemfontein.General Kelley Kenney is fighting a rear guard and harras-ing the retreat.The Boers are reported to be leaving Spytfontein, going in a north westerly direction.The Boers captured a large convoy as a result of yesterday’s (Thursday) fighting at Riet River.The British casualities were comparatively slight, in view of the tremendous Bombardment.Less thau thirty men were wounded and but one killed.General French’s division was enthusiastically welcomed at Kimberley.The officers dined at the club last evening.The news of the entry into Kimberley has greatly cheered the troops, who are working splendidly.KELLEY-KENNY CAPTURES BOER CONVOY London, Feb.17 .—A despatch to the War Office from Lord Roberts says that General Kelly-Kenny’s brigade Friday captured seventy-eight wagons of stores and ammunition belonging to General Cronje.Following is the text of Lord Roberts’ despatch:—“Jacobsdal, Feb.17, 5.50a.m.—General Kelly-Kenny’s brigade captured yesterday seventy-eight wagons laden with stores, two wagons of Mauser rifles, eight boxes of shells, ten barrels of explosives, and a large quantity of stores, all belonging to Cronje’s laager, which was still being shelled by our artillery when Kitchener despatched his messenger.FIGHTING AT REN8BURG Severe fighting took place near Rens-burg on Tuesday last; the despatch was dela>ed in transmission, stated that the Boers outnumbered our forces 3 to 1 A patrol of the Inniskilling Dragoons was surrounded by some 500 Boers and gallantly cut its way through without losing a man.“A” company of New South Wales Mounted Infantry was unfortunately annihilated, most of the men’s bayonets however, bearing the imprint of sanguinary conflict with their foes.“Colonel Conyngham was shot through the heart at the outset of the engagement.The enemy chose the time of the moon’s setting for the onslaught .Out of the five colonial officers only one returned to camp.Two Companies of the VYiltshires that were on outpost duty failed to join the force before the retirement from Rensburg, and their absence not be conceived and were succeeding.But for | *n8 noticed on the parade, they were the unexpected delay at Dekiel’s Drift ' cut off.WHOLE DIVISION GONE The total British casualty returns up to last Wednesday night are: KILLED ( Xficers.15s .«,477 1,629 WOUNDED Officers.380 .5*03° Men Missing 5*430 Officers Men.2.893 Other fatalities reported are 593, making the total casualties 10,515.WAR NOIES The forces immediately at the dis posai of Lord Roberts are pla< ed at 33 000 in a general way.The figures are revealed by the despatches.Quite possible, Lord Roberts has 10,000 or 30,000 more.According to a despatch from Chieveley it has been ascertained that the British artillery during the week’s fighting rendered two large Boer guns and one Nordenfeld.ineffective.HAY FOR SOUTH AFRICA A cable has been received at Ottawa from the War Office asking that arrangements be made for the purchase of 30 tons of hay per month so long as the war shall continue.The hay will be carried to South Arrica from St.John in steamers to be supplied by the Imperial Government.-it ATE f HE EGGS llir* lOnri of h l.oiiK iiikI Sa Worked «lull.,>flVilng to bet that nobody can cat two hard boiivu eggs upon an empt.v stomach has been a favorite pastime of Michael Meyer, a Newark (N J » horse dealer.He has put forth the proposition for 20 years ns a means of forcing a man to back down in any ordinary dispute, and it has been gen ernlly successful.But in October last, when he propounded it to William Wrange in Solomon Onry’s place, Oury.who was tired of hearing it.said, “I will take that bet for $10.” Meyer was delighted, and arrange meiits were made to meet at Onry’s at 7 o’clock the next morning.Wraage held the $20, and there was another witness.Meyer arrived at the appoint ed time, felt of the eggs, squeezed one of them and said that it was not hard Onry slipped both eggs into his month at once, munched them ami swallow ed them.Meyer left in disgust, pro testing that the terms of the bet had not t>eeu fulfilled.Wraage paid the bet to Oury, and Meyer brought suit for $50 in the Second district court.'Phe ease came up before Judge Fred rick Guild the other day.'Phe court was crowded.Emanuel Lowenstein was counsel for Meyer, and upon Wrange’s side were ex-County Prosecutor Hlvln W.Crane, the unsuccessful candidate for governor of the state; Gommisslouer Charles Herr of the board of works and William C.Nlcoll.Commissioner Herr endeavored to eliminate the gambling law feature by saying that this case did not come tin der the act because eating eggs was not a game of chance, but a trial of skill, an act of showing skill or pro-fletency and capacity.Edward Stern and Mr.Wraage testified that Oury ate the eggs fairly, and the latter said that he haft taken the bet because It became monotonous after 20 years of constant repejition.He said that he ate two eggs at once, not one before the other, and that he had not eaten anything since dinner on the previous evening.The jury announced a verdict of $10 for Meyer.That was all he wanted, but It does not convince any of the people on the other side that Oury did not eat the eggs.Liquid Air Power.The question of liquid air power Is succinctly presented by a writer in The Forum, who argues that It Is virtually an Initial compression of air to 10,000 pounds a square Inch, which gives a groat advantage ns regards storage and transport, and then, as by expansion and heating It can be brought to precisely the same pressure and temperature as In the case of ordinary compressed air.It follows that.If there Is an advantage In using the latter, It is obviously more advan tageous to employ liquid air.Further, this writer asserts that, as the great Increase of efficiency of steam engines during recent years lias been owing to the employment of high er Initial pressures, it Is but the part of reason to admit that the dlacover> by means of liquid air of a way to ai tain vast initial air pressures opens the door to higher efficiencies and greatly extended utilities in the use of air power.As is w’ell known, of course, the com mon practice Is to compress air to a pressure of, say, 2,000 pounds a square Inch for convenience of storage and transport and then allow It to expand to a much lower pressure and to become heated In a hot water apparatus before It enters the working cylinder.A Cartons Tragody.Charles Sellers, a boy of 13, while fishing on the wharf at Fort Bragg, fell Into the water.Superintendent James Brett threw a rope so accurately that the boy easily grasped It and calmly called to the men on the wharf to pull him up.An excited person, however, threw the other end of the rope overboard, and the lad was Immediately swept out to sea and drowned.~SaD Francisco Argonaut MOFFAT’S w.Imperial Range Make Cooking Easy Don’t try to keep house Without One IAS.F.KERR.MUNICIPAL COUNCIL OF LEEDS.ELECTED MAYOR FOR THETBIR TEENTH TIME NEW

captain’s cabin had been crushed by falling spars With an oar from onr boat we scraped among some of the sea weed and slime and found that the batches had all been battened down We found the main gangway covered with a dense heap of seaweed, in which there were scores ut crabs ami strange looking dwellers in the depths of the southern seas With much labor we cleared away this mass of «tuff and leached the head of the ladder leading down from the main deck Dill, the mate, looked down into the dark wat* that rose almost to the top of the gang way.and then he sprang hack with a cry of horror “A sudden roll of the ship on a deej swell churned the water between decks and the bloated body of a dead sailor was thrown up the ladder ami so wedged in the passageway that the fact stared straight up at us.The flesh was soft and white, as if ready to drop from the bones,and the eyes had already fall» u out The hideous face seemed to mock at us with a ghastly leer “With one accord we all started

something in her framework below decks broke with a muffied crash Then a small fountain of black water, capped by yellow bubbles, broke from the open gangway and a great quantity of gas that had been confined below shot high up into the air with a report like escap ing steam “With this eruption from the depths of the ship there came an odor of decaying flesh so strong and sickening that we fell into onr boat, almost overcome The line was cut ami we pushed away as quickly as possible.Mcst of us were so overcome that we were unable to handle the oars.hut.fortunately, an other roll on a snnken wave carried the ship away from us and we were dear of the horrible odor The roar of escaping gas continued for several minutes, and then the broken ami battered derelict settled stern first and sank swiftly out of sight.“The Mary Clay reached home in time and on our next trip to South America we found a possible solution of the remarkable incident of a ship rising from the sea A British vessel loaded with live stock for Brazil had been lost some months before, probable near the Sargossa sea If the ship settled on an even keel at the bottom, sand and seaweed might have closed the rent in her hull that caused her to sink Then, with the hatches battened down above, the decomposition of the bodies ot the animals that had formed the cargo would create enough gas between necks in time to cause the vessel to rise to the surface.When we cleared the gangway the gas escaped and the broken vessel went to the bottom a second time.” — New York Cor St Louis Globe-Democrat ________ Fortlflcntlonn of Spanluh Town».The town of Palmas Sorenno consists of several hundred thatched houses and perhaps about 50 frame, brick and stone houses, with tiled roofs.It is situated in a valley surrounded by hills.A line of forts stretches from northeast to southwest, with a line of barbed wire fence in front of them toward the west.Standing in the lookout box of one, I counted 11 of these small forts or blockhouses, from 100 to 200 or more yards apart.They are all surrounded with lines of barbed wire, through which it would be almost impossible to pick one’s way without becoming terribly lacerated.Beyond this entanglement is a deep and wide ditch, crossed by a bridge leading to a covered gateway Inside of this the parapet rises, made of logs, stones and gravel It has 12 embrasures and incloses an octagonal square about 100 feet in diameter Here I found an old brass rifled cannon, howitzer type, marked Sevilla, July 3.1789, in a good state of preservation In the center of the inclosnre stands a square, double story log building, double walled, filled with stone and loopholed.The second story and the sentinel are accessible only by ladders from the inside—a truly formidable

being peater ed with offers from nsnrers to advance him sums of money, had the enriosity to answer one by asking on what terms he wonld loan him £250.By return of post there arrived a Jotter asking par-ticnlars of his rent, life insurance and other intimate matters To this he made no reply Then followed a note asking him to call in London on a certain flay, to which he sent an answer that he did not intend to call, and that the money lender need not trouble himself further in the matter But the affair was not at an end.Two days later a registered Utter arrived.inclosing £250 in notes and a

acceptable.However, all the troops are in the same fix, as everything has been at a stand still for the last month, pending the arrival of Roberts and Kitchener They arrived at the Cape on Wednesday, and are expected up at any time now, so there is sure to oe a move before long.The regiment is improving wonderfully every day, and all are getting hardened te military life and discipline.We have a route march every day now, of aoout 10 miles.We start out at 4.30 in the afternoon, and usually get bnok about 7 30 I am quite used to the walk now, and don’t ¦kind It any more than I would a walk to the station at hoaae.Apart from this, an hour’s drill at six o’clock in the morning, we haven’t very much to do.Of course it is much too warm in the middle of the day to do anything in the way of drill.My ccnq.noy is getting along first rate, and 1 have got to know the men pretty well.There are a number of very nice fellow» among them.Capt.Macdonald, who ie now in command of G.Company, P.E.I., showed me a copy of the Military Gazelle the other day, in which there was a letter from Col.Worthington as to my appointment.I thick the letter is fine, and the colonel is a brick.As fai as I am concerned, I don’t mind the Montreal criticisms very much, although 1 consider it very small.I have bought a Kodak camera, and have taken several snap shots, and just as soon as I have finished the films I w; 1 send them home to be finished.The first lot probably won’t amount to much, a-* I am new at the biftiuess, tut t ere may be a few good ones among them.I haven’t heard from home for tw© weeks, but there has been some delay in ihe mails, and 1 hope to get a lot of letters by next mail.You know 1 don’t believe the war will last very long after Roberts gets to the front and gets everything into shape as there are nf,w almost 110,(XX) troops in the field, and any amount of artillery, and it doesn’t seem possib e that the Boers will be able to hang out very long when we once get star ed.The weather here is about the same as July and August weather at home, only a little warmer,but the nights are ever so much cooler than at home, and I can tell you we look forward to and enjoy them.1 see hy the Montreal Herald that their correspondent, who was with the Contingent on board ship, stated that Armstrong was doing most of the work in E Company.It is unnecessary to say that
