The Doers outflanked the Drltlsh here yes

was threatening the Drltlsh communications
between Hensbcrg nnd Sllngcrsfontcln ,

The Austiallans having como Into very
eloso contact with the enemy took cover
under a hill about 9,000 yards from the
camp Thereupon the Doers took up a pool- j
ttcn with a. view of preventing tholr retirej j

confident of holding the enemy at bay and

of gutting out after dark , which eventually I
they did. The InnlsKllllngs prevented the
enemy getting their guns In position. The I
Australians lost one man killed and three ;
wounded.
The convojs have been successfully got

Reports of the Doer advance through Zululand -

Miorl HI Klinlirrli * ; .
Startllng rmolllgcnce comes from Kim-
berk-y In the Cape newspapers just received
by mall In London. It appears that since
January 8 the intlons nt Klmberley have
beeii for the most part horse flesh , so re
pugnant to women nnd children that many
rcli.so to cat It also appears that the death
rate has been heavy nnd that the privations
of the garrison have been Increasing stead-

censor has not allowed It to be cabled. I'os-
slbly such conditions explain the presence
of Lord RobertH at Modder river and the
apparent preparations for an advance from
tlnil point.
The mention In the dispatch of Lord Rob

oral ClcmentM as commanding at Rensberg
U Interpreted to show that Colonel French
with his cavalry has gone to Join Lort
Roberts and that considerable changes In
distribution of troops In that district
have occurred. The unexpected strength
nnd activity of the Doers at Rensberg.
where they are minor pressing the Drltish
than being punted by them , causes anx
iety.
There Is no confirmation of the report
of n prtlo from Ladysmith. The latest dln-
patch from there , dated Wednesday last ,
rcptrts that all was quiet then nnd that
Instructions had been Issued to beware ot
the possible approach of Docis In the guise

The actions of the 6lh , Blh and 7th ,
pioperly called the combat of Valkranta ,
wert marked by several Inlercsllng fea-
luies When Ihe field batteries were en
gaged demonstrating against Drakfontcln ,
the poslllon of the Boers , directed hcnvj
artillery fire upon them , great shells burst
ing between and around the guns , shrapnel
ripping along repealcdly. Every one ex
pected severe lossi , but the batteries only
suffered fourteen casualties. The brldg *
across the Tugela , near Mungertdrlftwas
under a hot fire from the Maxims and
rillee. In twenty minutes the advance or
the Durhams across the bridge and open
grounds was exposed to a harrasslng cross
fire of shrapnels and rifles.
Vnlkrantz was carried at the point of the
ba > onct. Only about fifty Doers endured
the bombardment. Three hundred lied.
Several continued firing nnd killing British | I
till Iho last moment and then naked fo
quarter , which was very generously given.
The Doer loss in killed , woanded and cap
tured on Valkrantz was about 100.
Seven armed Kaffirs were found fighting
In the Doer ranks , one killing the onicer j
of the Durhams. This Is absolutely au
thenticated This fact reveals the Doers'
protestations about Khama In a new light.
If continued It would Justify the employ. | i
ment of native Indian troops In the Trans -
vaal. They should be warned ot the coiv-
scquenccfl. Kalllrs are receiving no quar
ter. The Maxim and a Vickcrs gun
abandoned by the enemy were about to fall
Into our hands , but n notorious rnfilati ,
fearless as Valjaen himself , brought > i
back. The team of horses escaped with the
gun , thieading their way between reo |
flaehcs nnd black clouds of lyddite shells ,
which the Drltlsh artillery concentrated.
It was a splendid feat of arms.
During the night Hlldyard fortified hlm-
eelt continually with much oklll. Consequently
I
quently , though exposed to a teirible she'l
fire all Iho 7li , ho only lost forty-one men. j ; 1
In twelve minutes sixty-three shells ex
ploded on the hill ; 210 were counted In two
hours , hthldea smaller shells from the
VIckcr and Maxim , which were Innuincr-
able. Prince Christian Victor , aide-de
camp to Hlldyard , was knocked down by the
concussion of a 100-pound shell bursting on
n lock by which he wa sitting. The prince
behaved throughout with extreme com-
posure. Doer prisoners admitted a heavy
loss , but declared unfalteringly their deter
mination to resist to the uttcrmcBt. One
nglishman said' "We nro not lighting
Doers. They would soon have to give in.
We nro fighting Europe. "
The necessity of obtaining control of
Delgoa bay Is very apparent. The Ingress
of foreigners through the port and military
material ! H constant. Surrly a settlement
wltn thu Portuguese is only a question of
money
White , with his heroic garrison , will en-
ililio to the most hitler extreme. Meanwhile -
while the effect of Roberts' main advnnco
must noon bo felt. Another fierce attempt
will he made shortly to force the Tugela ,
but the public must realize plainly the
ugly fact that the relief of I adysmlth would
strain the energies of the army of 50.000 and
that 100,000 would bo no unnecessary num
ber. Therefore , It I desirable the country
should prepare itself for certain heavy lofw
and possible disappointment. Thin theater
of the war. remembering nlwn > s thai con-
eldfrallonn of honor more than policy de
mand ceaselcm efforts to relieve Ladj-
smllb , nnd that nothing that can happen i
In Natal can prevent the final result of the I
warTho j
The spirit of the troops Is still high and j 1
their confidence In their commander un
abated. They only nsk for the most decisive
trial , believing that In spite of all difficulties
and numerical weakness they would out
weigh the adverse chances with their
bayonets. Dut the security of southern
Natal Is an Important consideration with
regimental officers , who everywhere show
they understand the difficulty and perhaps
the Impossibility ot the task , and In the face
of disappointment , retreats and apparently I
vain sacrifices , regard their general with
sympathy and trust not often seen even I
under forlunalo circumstances. The nation I
must bear anxiety as her soldiers face dan- I i
ger. She has sent them tbo best men she I
could find. They are trying their best to j |
carry forward the nubile business " {

Watden Hagan to have slept as cannly on
tiaturdiiy night as ho did on any other night

the Jury , pronounced late Saturday night ,
the warden said , did not seem to have In
the least affected Mollncux , so far as h's
outward appearance was concerned. The
warden said Mollncux's demeanor Is in
striking contrast with that of other prlstjn-
crs who had been In his charge nnd who
had within the last three yc.trs been con
victed of murder In the first degree.
"Ho slept like a child , " was the way the
warden put It , refctrlng to Mollnou\ after
his return to his cell from the court room
on Saturday night. Todav ho nroso at the

"If I were going to write as a reporter

Delegates representing revolutlonaiy asso
ciations In all parts of Europe attended anil
marched In a long , tumultuous procession
from his late icsldcncc on Iho Rue St.
Jucquc-s to the cemetery of Montparnasse.
The advance of the demonstration was
marked by unceasing shouts of "Viva 1
communo" and ' 'Viva le anarchic" mil the.
singing of "La Caimagnole' and other ro\-
oli'tlonary songs. The procession was hciileil
by Reno Vlvlani , tadlcal socialist , ono of
the deputies for the Department of the
Sc'ne ' , and a half-dozen other socialist mem-
birs of the Chamber.
When the cemetery was leached a num-
bci of red Hags were produced and wavea.
The police tried to seUo tiieso and several
free fights ensued. The uproar Increased
until M. Vtvlinl Induced tbo police to re-

Frlckagainst the Cnrneglo Steel Company
limited , Is the report that Captain Henry
Phlpps , jr. , next to the largest stockholder
In the company , ban broken the business re
lations with Mr. Carnegie , which have been
exceptionally cloeo during the hitter's busi
ness life. The steel kings have been associ
ated since boyhood and their Interests have
been identical , not only In a biihlnrhs waj ,
but In their philanthropic work and social
standing. The announcement of the breach
will , therefore , he n surprise to the steej
world. Mr. Phlpps owned 11 per cent of the
capital stock of the company , which Is more
Ihan the holdings of any other ono stock
holder except Mr. Carnegie It Is said that
Mr. Phlpps alone stands as thu only partner
whoso slgnaluro Is not attached to the fa-
moua ironclad agreement. The reason for
this Is not known lo the public , hut the Im
portant omission. It Is said , will bo eelzcd
upon by Mr. Frlck as ono of the strongest
arguments In his efforts to have the cele
brated document broken , his contention
being that the agreement cannot bo binding
when ono of the largest stockholders' numo
Is nrt attached.
David Watson , wl'o ' drew up the paper ,
will be one of the leading lanjern employed
by Mr. Frlck to break It and the arguments
put forth to this end by himself and Attor
