to a gallop , and so was strangted after shoutIng -
Ing "Viva Espana. "
Senor Iiarquln awaited his fate more coolly.
IIt thiought the branch to whlchi lt was to
be hanged was not strong enough to bear
his weight and implored his captors to re-
mayo tito rope to a stronger branchi. Ills
tears proved well founded , for tue branch
gave way and its fell to thte grotind halt
strangled. 110 pleaded for hi life , but was
strung tip a second time , and tiiI tIme ito

CAPE TOWN , April 21.-Telegraphic coin-
muiticatlon wIth Iluiuwayo was reopened for
a time today anti then there was anotltcr
break , believed , however , to be only a toni-
porary InterruptIon. During tIme time thto
wIre was ivoricing dIspatches were receIved
froiti t'everal sotirces In the besieged town.
The news flashed south Is somewhat con-
dIeting , but tue tnaln facts seem well es-
tabhishied tltat the British have made a
cortlo In force , cncounterCd large numbers
of Matabeles , InflIcted great loss upon them ,
suffered In return , wore at one time iii
danger of annihtlla.tloa , amid fitially retreated.
Thin story cf thie light lutist be divIded Itito
two citaptero , the official report and the uu-
omclal account.
The otflcial version of tito sortie says that
the BrItIsh force , shortly after mntdnlght.
was quietly called to arnie , amid without
appareitthy alarming the native part of tlio
town a force of about 300 men under Cap-
talus Napier and Duncan , with one Maxim
rapId-fire gun and a llotchikis quIck-firing
gun belonging to the ltagsliip St. George ,
niustererl outside tlto barbed wIre fences
voro served with a ration of ruin and sail-
died UI ) for a tiiii at the oncmy'e lInes.
Swords anti all clatierimig accouterments
were deadened wltht clothes and the horses
composing the advance guard were "bagged"
( htoofs covered wIth strotig sacking ) . Owing
to thiee precautions there was considerable
delay in getting off and tlio fIrst streak of
gray on the horizon could be seen witon the
colunin arrived within striking dIstance of
thio enemy. The latter were quietly camped
behilmid their stone topped earthworks , about
four mIles from Iluhuwayo , But , contrary to
expectatloti , the Mataboics hind thrown out
pickets , whichi , althioughi itirprised by the
advance guard , raised the alarm , Title was
Ito sooner done than the troopers In advance
charged anti simot down mnany of the fleeing
natIves. ThIr , vas the signal for the nil-
vance of thte maIn hotly of the trooprirs amid
tltey galloped forward In fine style to the
support of theIr comrades. Unluckily for the
plans of CaptaIns Napler and Dtiitcan , by
thIs time it % 'at' getting quite light anti the
Matabolc had iprumtg to arnie all along the
lIne. As the BrItish advanced they vera
receIved by a scatterIng rIfle fire from behind
the earthworks , but the advance guard
charged right up to the niotinds and spurred
their htorses over them in tveral places.
Then fohlowed a setback for thte troopers.
The Matabeles charged In force and drove
the advance guard back , anti being met by
thto main body of the lluluwayo force , fire
\vas opened at about 400 yards on thte Mata-
beles' posItion. This was kept up until
broad daylight , when thte atlvance was
ordered , In view of this fact that too much
ammunition was beIng wasted.
13fl1T.ISII CHARGE IN FORCE.
Up to this time tflte los on either sk1 had
not been lteavy , although this Matabeles had
by tar the. worst of it , especially whten thte
Maxim and } lotcltkiss guns were brought into -
to play to cover this retreat of this ativance
guard.
Jurt previone to the citivance on the Mata-
behos' position , the two rapId-fire guns were
again set to work anti for about a quarter of
an hour they ivere made to sweep thte Mata-
beles' Position in front of the flrltlshi force.
When the right mnomuent seemed to arrive ,
the charge was ordered anti thicre was a
prolonged period of sharp fightIng at cloae
quarters. Piatole , rifles , shotguns , war chubi ,
spears and knives clashed prettIly , the music
of this rapid-fire guns , sent to the rear for fear
of their Iteiimg captured , htavitmg ccasei.
Bothi shtlert foughtt bravely. It ivas a case
of a Itanfiful of well armed whites against
a small army of badly armed Mtabeles , Tie
former were figittlug for the helpless wonton
and children In the beeagured town of Iitiiu-
w'ayo ; thto latter ivere fightIng for what they
considcred to be their own , their natIve land ,
( or lluitmwayo , thin old capital of ICIng
Lobengimla.
Gritltiahly this Matabeles pressed onward by
sheer force of numbers , aimost rjrrountleil
the Liritish , who , to avoid being encircled ,
retreated flghitlng foot by toot , but being
driven steadIly back. One equad for a
time watt quilts ctit off , and only extracted itself -
self by a brilliant charge ttrougii the Mata-
behe cordon ,
- Eventually , the flritisht were very herd
pressed anti gave ground fast ; tlieii m'ailletl by
Napicr aitd Dtincan , they again assumed the
crfcneivo and drove back thte enrarmns of
natives under a ss'ell directed flee , Thten It
\i"as the turn of thie Matahehes to gIve ground ,
amid a oiiafi of troopers chargIng with a ringing -
ing cheer , thirsts' them into confusion and thtn

hEROISM OF SOI4DtERS.
Muichi heroism was displayed by itidivitlual
lhrltlsli troopers anti volunteers in rescuing
their \s'otlntletl comrade. , . On trooper is
said to have charged alone clco up to the
Matebteic ivorks , to have picliefi tip a wountled
