Bonn Cami-, Upper Tugela Hiver, Jan.
23, The British now occupy three posi
tions along the Tugela river. Their naval
suns have been firing steel-pointed,
armor-pierclng shells.
Hwporta being received that 2000
British cavalry were attempting to out
flank us along the Drakensburg ridge, a
utroug patrol was sent to reconnolter.
Mistaking the signals, the ecoutB and
I'atrol proceeded to u kopje, from which
" terrific rifle and Maxim gun fire
suddenly opened. The Boers Joet fourteen
killed and twenty wounded. The British
loss was probably insignificant.
The bombardment of the Boer posi
tions at Swarskopf was resumed yester
day, chiefly with a battery brought
across the river. In the afternoon can.
iionadlng became excitingly brisk, and
"ler its cover their Infantry advanced
in tlireo lines to ascend u row of kopjes,
which they occupied at nightfall, hut
later they retired to their old position.
During the night a Fcoro of shells were
fired by the British, and a balloon was
sent up to By out the Boer position.
The i iuv.nl guns resumed the bombard
ment tliis morning from a new position,
but without results.
A HumlMy lluttle.
I'KiiTOitiA, Jan, 21. A dispatch from

the Boer positions there- this morning.
There was heavy fighting, but with what
result is not known. According to the
latest from the front, the Boers were
holding their positions.
A dispatch from Colenso, dated Janu
ary 18, says a patrol of 200 nun under
Field Cornet Opperinan, while scouting,
was surrounded, but succeeded in fight
ing Its way back. It is reported that

Ullllit Ainu Keneued.
Los Anoki-kh, Cat., Jan. 22. Eight of
the eleven men who were entombed in
the Third street tunnel by the caving in
of earth yesterday, were rescued un
injured today, John Dejoo is still en
tombed, and is injured, but it is not
known iiow seriously. It may tako
several hours to reach him, though lie
ImB been communicated with. Foreman
Crawley if doubtless dead. Many tons
of earth fell in the part of the tunnel
wli'tro lie was. It will be some time bo-
fori he can be reached.
The theory advanced for tho ctiuee of
t ho tunnel caving in is that a sewer broke
over the place where the men were
working, and water, satuiating the earth,
caused it to becomejieavy and fall,
Street Inspector Lomble, who was
so badly injured, died this morning.

Washington, Jan. 23. At tho open
ing of today's session, Senator Turley
(Tenn.) reported from tho committee on
privileges mid elections the resolution on
the case of Quay. The resolution follows :
"That Hon. Matthew S. Quay is not
entitled to take his Beat in this body as
senator from the state of Pennsylvania."
The resolution was the judgment of a
majority of the committee. Senator
Turley called'the attention of the com
mittee, which was to the effect that
Quay was entitled to a seat in the senate,
Both resolutions were accompanied by
reports in their support.
The majority report opposing the
seating of Mr. Quay was signed by
Senators Cafl'ery, Pettus, Turley, Harris
and Burrows, the last-named being the
only Republican signing it. The minority
report bears the signatures of Senators
Hoar, Chandler, l'ritchard and Me-
Comas, all Republicans, and advocates
giving the seat to Mr. Quay. The ma
jority report first reviews the circum
stances under which Mr. Quay's ap
pointment was made, Including the fail-
urojof the Pennsylvania legislature to
elect i senator.

Nkw Yokk, Jan. 28. Advices from
Carncas, Veuezuela, announce the im
prisonment there of Manuel A. Mattos,
who was minister of finance under Presi
dent Andrude, and is one of Venezuela's
wealthiest men, by order of President
Castro, on tho charge of conspiracy
against the government. Documents
found in his possession show that he was
in communication witli General Jose
Manuel Hernandez, tho rebel leader.
A few weeks ago an export Unit of this
city received from Senor Mattos an order
for 20,000 Mauser rifles and 5,000,000
cartridges, It is presumed at the time
that they were intended for tho
Venezuelan government. His arrest,
however, has caused the belief that the
supplies were meant for the use ot the
revolutionists,
Senor Mattos is well known liorti and
was at one time a member of the lirm of
Scliollz, bauchez & Co,, of this city.
