London, March 10.—The Boers ap-
pear to have made no stand whatever,
except that while in retreat they twice
repulsed General French’s cavlary with
rifle fire. As no report has been made
of the capture of prisoners, the enemy
probably got away with their entire
force. General French is still follow
ing them and keeping between them
and Bloemfontein.
The evacuation of the northern dis
tricts of Cape Colony is now nearly
complete. The British are in posses
sion of the rialroad crossings.
The military critics comment on the
discouraging news from Mafeking.
Colonel Baden-I’owell seems to be in
grave need of outside help. Otherwise
he would not allow correspondents to
seud out information respecting the
distress of the garrison.
A re-adjustment of some of the higher
commands is taking place. General
W hite is to go to Stormberg to take
supreme command of General Gatacre’s
division and the Tenth division, now
in process of formation, which will be
under the immediate command of Gen
eral Hunter, Sir George White’s chief-
of-staff.
The Daily News makes the following
announcement:
“It was rumored in London yester
day—and we have no reason for be
lieving the rumor,to be correct—that
the two republics made informal and
unofficial overtures of peace on the
preceding day.
Unfortunately, the
conditions suggested were of such
character as to preclude the possibility
•of leading to any result. Terms which
might have been gladly accepted be
fore the war, in order to avert it, are
impossible after the war, with all the
sacrifices it has entailed.”
General Robert«* Report*
London, March 10.—Following is
the text of Lord Roberts’ dispatch, re-
v lived by the war office today:
"Poplar Grove, March 10.—Two
irigades of cavalry, with horse artillery
•nd Kelly-Kenny’s division, marched
:oday 10 miles eastward.
The Boers
were taken by surprise yesterday.
They moved off so hurriedly that they
left cooked dinners behind them. We
captured a Krupp gun and several tents
and wagons.
The total casualties
were:
Killed, Lieutenants Keswick
and Frieslick; wounded, Lieutenants
Hailey, of the Twelfth Lancers, and
Decrispigne, of the Second Life Guards,
both severely, and Lieutenant Smith, o'
the Shropsliires, who is believed to
have been picked up by Boer ambu
lance. Two men were killed, 46 wound
ed, and one man is missing.
“Gatacre re|s>rts he intends occupy
ing Burgersdorp today. Repairs to the
Tailroads toward both Stormberg and
Leyusberg are being pushed. Clem
ents now occupies Nerval's Point, on
the south bank of the Orange river.
The bridge was blown up March 6, and
-the enemy is holding the north bank of
the river, but not, it is believed, in
any great strength.”

Jackson, Miss., March 10.—An offi
cial report made to the Hinds county
Icard of supervisors reveals an appall
ing state of affairs in the Jonesville
neighterhood, in the southern part of
the county. The community is literal
ly honeycombed with smallpox of the
most virulent foim, and during the past
six weeks nearly 100 deaths have oc
curred. On some days the death rate
lias been so large that it was imiossi-
ble to secure coffins, and rude caskets
were made from rails. Whole families
were wiped out of existence and of sev
eral large families only one or two chil
dren are left.
Many of the patients who are now in
a critical condition are without medi
cal attention, and are dying at the rate
■of from three to five a day. The death
rate exceeds 75 per ceent, and the en
tire lower portion of the county is de
moralized. The board of supervisors
will make an effort to check further
spread.
Antl-Brltl.li Blot In Bordonnz.
Bordeaux, March 10.—Late yester
day evening students and others issuing
from a pro-Boer meeting marched to
the British consulate, battered down
the doors, shattered the windows with
stones, and then proceeded to the con
sul’s private residence, where they in
dulged in similar demonstrations. The
jsilice disjiersed the mob and arrested
several leaders.
The prefect of the
Gironde, the mayor of Bordeaux and
the commissary of police called on the
consul today and expressed regret at
the occurrence.
Recruited to Full Strength.
Ottawa, March 10.—Minister Borden
received tonight from the war office a
cable accepting 100 men to recruit the
First Canadian contingent to its full
«■trength. They will leave with the
Strathcona Horse.
Eight-Club Circuit.
New York, March 10.—The National
Baseball League for the season of 1900
will have an eight-club circuit. This
announcement was made at the Fifth
Avenue hotel at 11:30 o’clock tonight,
when the league meeting adjourned.
A verbal agreement was reached to
night, and tomorrow the agreement
will be formally executed. The retiring
clubs are Washington, P.altimoie,
Louisville and Cleveland. Each club
will receive a money consideration for

Aestheticism in Mining Camps.
Mafeking, Feb. 21.—What may be
typhoid fever has broken out in the
womens’ laager, and dysentery, due to
the absence of vegetables, is rife among
the garrison. We are thrown upon
our own resources. Such luxuries as
we had are exhausted, or have been
commandeered for the hospitals, which
are filled to overflowing.
The chil
dren’s graveyard, close to the women’s
laager, grows weekly as the young lives
are cut short prematurely by shells and
fever. We look with hope deferred for
relief.
The cheerfulness which was charact
eristic of the early days of the siege has
almost deserted us, the men preferring
to remain at their posts, rather than
move about and work up an appetite,
which cannot be satisfied. The natives
are in the worst plight.
Those who
are unable to obtain work are allowed a
small handful of meat daily. Many,
braving the danger, wander about the
town with gaunt and huiigiy faces in
search of work which eutitles them to
an extra ration of meat. If they find
work they are generally too weak to
jierform it.
From their advance posts the Boers
rake the streets and the market square.
It is impossible to dodge their bullets.
We have taken remarkable precaution,
however, and the casualties, though
heaVy, are not what they might have
been with less able men at the head of
affairs.
Even the headquarters’ mess fares
scantily. Like saints under the altar,
we cry,
“How long. O Lord, how
ri
long?”
Two hundred and ninety-two per
sons have been killed, wounded, or
dead of disease,
The garrison is so
small that it would be criminal to
make its weakness public, but- there is

tion of the possibility of surrender, lie
cause we do not mean to get beaten,
and we are cheerfully enduring the
hardships of today rather than to make
a surrender in any degree possible to-
morrow.
