The Boers fled, diasmounted _ in the darkness, and abandoned everything, including 86 horges and a large quantity of ammuâ€" uition. Eight Colonial rebele were captured. A portion of the Boer foree, which occupied a neighboring kopje, opened fire on the British. The fire wae returned, and the fighting lasted until dawn. Two British solâ€" diers were wounded, The Boer casualâ€" tieg are unknown. Port Elizabeth, Aug. 16.â€"Particwâ€" larg have only now been obtained of an important fight which took placeo last Thursday on the Fish Rlver.

One man was killed. A Captain was dnngerpufll,v..__nnd t_hree The task would have been difficult at) any time, but upon this occasion the marauders were ignorant of the fact that several blockhouses had been constructed in sheltered and admirably selected positions. Moreâ€" over, they noeglected their customâ€" ary precautions, with the result that as they were engaged in their enâ€" terprise an armored train bore down upon them, and at the same time the };loekhouses unexpectedly _ opened re. The Hussars dismounted, and finâ€" ally with fixed bayonets bore down all opposition, accounting, in â€" their smart brush, for twelve of the enemy. Italians With Boers. Woodstock, Aug. 14.â€"Sorgts. Chas. Molo and Geo. Parker, of _ Gen. French‘s scouts, arrived at their homes here this morning, after hayâ€" fog served nearly two years in Bouth Africa. They went out with the Guelph battery, and instead of returning with the others last winâ€" ter enlisted with the scouts, and were with "Gat" Howard whenr he A small British force evacuatedl PBremersdorp, but took up a position mear by. The Boers pursued them, but were repulsed. The Boers reâ€" celved 500 reinforcements, and then compelled the British to retire. The latter made a last stand ten miles away. The Boers, assisted by Swazis, captured three wagous loaded with rations and a Maxim gun. . They alterwards burned Bremersdorp. The British lost four killed and fourteen gaptured. The Boers lost heavily. | Cape Town, Aug. 16.â€"As the reâ€" ®ult of the recent operations, the Cradock district is considered to be clear of any large commandos. It is hoped that the Boers driven out of the district will be met by the colâ€" umns operating in other districts, SOME SEVERE Kritzinger‘s +Force Routed, Commandants Captured. ONE FATALLY WOUNDED To Attack Botha. Durban, Aug. 16.â€"Lord Kitchener, with a strong force, is moving on MHondweni, on the border of Zuluâ€" land, where General Botha is reâ€" ported to have concentrated 4,000 Poers. An important engagement is gxpected to ensue. â€" The Boers thus taken entiroly by gurprise, lost many killed, wounded, mnd prisoners. _( Pretoria, Aug. 16.â€"During the purâ€" suit of Commandant Viljoen, by Gen. Walter Kitchoner, the British colâ€" umm pressed so hotly upon the flyâ€" Ing Boers‘ track,. that near Oliphant‘s River, north of Middelburg, a portion of the force, consisting of the 18th HMussars, who are now armed â€" as mounted infantry, came up with the enemy, and engaged them in _ the densge brush. The Boers Lost Heavily. Durban, Aug. 16.â€"Details of the opâ€" €rations of Steinaker‘s Horso show that they have done excellently in Swatiland, patrolling from the Portuâ€" guese to the Swaziland border. Valuâ€" able captures were made. The comâ€" mand suffered considerably from the unhealthy nature of the country. men, @light!ly wounded. The prisonâ€" era were enubsequently released." was shot. They have never received a scratch, and have always been in good health. They say that had they been fighting the Boers alone the war would soon havo been over. But there are many foreigners mostly Jtalians, helping the Boer Generala British Capture a Boer Camp. 19 a~ * With Fixed Bayonets. Clear of Commandoes. Caught in a Trap., FIGHTING. Bo syre pre the men of this that the@ are holding thanksgiving sorvices. The wives of men still in the field are continually insulting the wives of those who have surrendered. Conseâ€" quently some of the Burghers who had surrendered, desiring to be on the winning side, have escaped and retursed to commando. London, Aug. 19.â€"A despatch to the Standard from Pretoria states that Boer women who have just been taken to the concentration camps, their husbands being on commando, declare loudly that in spite of all that bas happened lately the Boors are going to win. They say that letâ€" ters from the Boer delegation in Euâ€" rope assure the fighting leaders that the Continental powers will shortly intervene. After expressing his firm convicâ€" tion that God, in good time, would give the Boers deliverance, he reâ€" marked: "Even now we could reâ€" build our country, but to do so we must have full independence." He emphasized the word "full." _ When asked about farm burning and the concentration â€" camps he exclaimed : "Why do they fight women and chilâ€" dres ? There are our own men to fight against. I do not believe the British people know what is being done in their name. If they did know they would stop it." Mr. Kruger said nothing had been definitely settled on the subject of af visit to the United States. Accondâ€" ing to Mr. Redmond his appearance belies the idea that he is breaking up cither mentaily or physically." Mr. Kruger emphatically denied the existence of a . Dutch‘comspiracy against British influence in _ South Africa, and _ repeated _ his former statements about the genesis of the war. When asked â€" regarding Great Britain‘s promises as to treatment ob the Boers after surrender he said: Cape Town, Aug. 18.â€"The recoent operations in the Cape Colony have frequently shown that Boer women are riding about gathering horses for the use of the commandoes. "The British have used armed naâ€" tives against the burghers from the beginning, but we have not used armed Kaffirs. It is and has alâ€" ways been against our principles to use the black men against the whites." "I know Great Britain‘s promises. You in Ireland ought to also know them. The British promise to lend us money to put things right. Then if it were not repald our land would be taken. They ask us to allow a rope to be put around our necks and to call that freedom. We should be slaves."" When asked concerning the effects of Lord Kitchener‘s recent prociamâ€" ation, and _ of Mr. Chamberlain‘s speeches, Mr. Kruger replied: "My people are not to be frightencd by such _ proclamations or _ speeches, which will only encourage them to continue fighting. Botha May Surrender. TLondon, Aug. 17.â€"Tho Sun toâ€"«lay says it hears that the concentration of (General Botha‘s forces at Hondâ€" wenl, on the borders of Zululand, anâ€" nounced in a despatch from Durban last night, which said Lord Kitchener was moving with a strong force on the place, does not foreshadow a fight with Botha, but his surrender, in pursuance of an understandiag reached between General Botha and Lord _ Kitchener. The Sun adds that the Government is so satisfied that the war ie virtwally over that Lord Milner, now on his way back to South Africa, has in his pocket the draft of a complete constitution and plans for the future government of ihe anâ€" nexed territories, London, Aug. 18.â€"The effect _ of Lord â€" Kitchener‘sâ€"or â€" rather â€" Mr. Chamberlain‘sâ€"prociamation is not distinctly noticeable in South Africa. There are rumors of a renewal of negotiations between (General Botha and General Kitchener, but these are probably fictitious, like the vagaries to look for a result of this kind when the proclamation â€" allows several weeks in which the Boers can reâ€" concile themselves to the idea of subâ€" mission. _ Practical military _ men have little confidence in the efficacy respecting Mr. Kruger‘s letters of marque to privateers. The number of voluntary surrenders has not inâ€" creased, but possibly it is premature of the proclamation as a peaceâ€"makâ€" ing agency, but admit that it will be useful to have a convenient date for another manifesto, withholding belligerent rights and changing the character of the military operations. There has been no material change in the situation during the _ past week. _ The Orange River Colony is more peaceful than any other secâ€" tion, but this is because the counâ€" try has been thoroughly cleared and the combatants have been â€" driven north and south for ammunition and food. Four Boer commandoes have been lost recently in the Transvaal, and the burghers keem thoroughly dispirited. General French has the most arduous work among the Cape rebels, but is gaining ground, and reducing the area of hostile operaâ€" tions, t 1 & Kruger Again Talks. London, Aug. 18.â€"The Freeman‘s Journal, of Dublin, publishes an inâ€" terview between Mr. Kruger and William Redmond, in Hilversum, Holâ€" lard, in the couurse of _ which the former President of the South Afriâ€" can Republic, expressing gratitude for Irish support, said he regarded the Irish as "brothers in oppression," and urged the Nationalist members of the British Parliament to continue their "efforts in the cause of justice and truth." London, Aug. 18.â€"An official paper Just issued shows that there were 118,497 persons in the refugee camps in South Africa on July 31. Broke Throuzh British Lines. Pretoria, Aug. 18.â€"There has been considerable improvement in affairs in the Cape Colony since General French took command there. Th_e burghere are fleeing north, but Comâ€" mandant Scheepers is said to have broken back through the Brit‘sh Une#g. According to the reports circulated here the Boers are becoming disorâ€" wanizoq Molo expects to go back, and will settle in Africa. Woodstock Veterans Honored. Woodstock, Aug. 18.â€"Sergts. Chas. The Boer Women Exulting. Women Gathering HMorses. In Refugee Camps. Ottawa, Aug. 18.â€"Honore Aubrey, eleven years old, was drowned in Leamy‘s Lake, Huil, this morning. The lad worked for his uncle, a farmer. It is thought that while the family was in church he mounted a horse and rode it to the lake to givra it a drink. Ho was evidently thrown from its back, for when the other members of the family returned they noticed the horse standing in its stall with the halter ail wet. A search of the lake was made at once, and the body was found in twenty feet of water. TO STOP ROOSTER CROWING. Two Mild Cases Develop in Home of a Poor Widow. Ottawa, Aug. 18.â€"Hull has two cames of smallpox. The latest appearâ€" ance of the disease is in the houseâ€" hold of Mra. Mathilde Monette, a poor widow, _ residing _ on St. Ephrem street, Tetreauville, Hull‘s western suburb. The disease is of a mild type, and only fairly well developed. The houee is an isolated one, and a spread of the disease is not looked for,. The aflicted ones are Mrs. Monâ€" ette‘s two daughters, aged 9 and 7 years. The mother and another child are in the house, which has been quarantined. It is situated near the Aylmer road, and about a mile from the business portion of the city. CAMPAIGN AGAINST BEARDS. German Women Threaten to Revive the Crinoline. Berlin, Aug. 18.â€"German women have begun a crusade against whiskâ€" ers, and are filling the columnms of the Beriin and provincial papers with _ warlike _ communtications inâ€" sisting that beards and moustaches must go, unless the men of the naâ€" tion desire reprisals in the form‘ of hoopskirts and long trained dresses. Downâ€"East Invention to Preserve Early Morning Sleep. Brockton, Mass., Aug. 18.â€"Edgar P. Howard, of this city, has invented an appliance to keep roosters from crowing in the early morning, and it is said to work like a charm. It is called the Brockton "Antiâ€"crower." The device is fastened to the bill of the rooster at night by a simple clasp, which does not interfere in any way with respiration. When the chanticâ€" leer rises before dawn, throws back his head and attempts to wake himâ€" sell and everybody else by uttering a clarion note, the device restrains his ambitious plans, and not until his owner sees fit to remove ‘the clasp will his vocal organs give utâ€" terance to his feelings. "Notwithstanding all appearances to the contrary, public opinion is toâ€" day the greatest European powoer. Of course it would be folly to say there is no longer danger of war, for popular excitement in any one quarâ€" ter may upset all calculations. Still, the existence of a foreign _ tribuâ€" nal to decide international disputes, the wellâ€"recognized economic breakâ€" down which war now means for all belligerents, the lessons of the Boer war and the fright{ul ‘iasco in China â€"all these elements of the situation are working powerfully for peace." The inventor hopes to raise a race of nonâ€"crowiIng fowl by. means of this device. "‘This talk is utter nonsensso. One might as well ask the men of Gerâ€" many to wear rings in their noses as emooth faces. From time immeâ€" morial the Germans have believed a handsome beard and moustache to be not only man‘s proudest heritage, but the bulwark of the nation‘s greatness. Our whiskers have really come to mean more than that, beâ€" cause nowadays a whiskerless face is the monr,\')oly of _ waiters, cabâ€" drivers, butlers, and trench digâ€" gers. ; London, Aug. 18.â€"The medical ofâ€" ficers‘ annual report shows that 64 per cent. of the meat sold in the corpcration markets is imported from America, Australia, New Zeaâ€" land and the Continent, the United states sending 23 per cent., and Australia 21. Five years ago the outside deliveries were barely 50 per cent. "Althoughit my trip was of a proâ€" fessional and private character, 1 have had the opportunity of seeing leading statesmen and foreign Minisâ€" ters, as well as numerous publicists and international lawyers. From all we have heard we belleve that the outlook for peace among the great powers and for the gradual but unâ€" mistakable development of the inâ€" tent of the Peace Conference could hardly be better. No European people wants war any more than the Ameriâ€" cans. Francis Haby, the Kaiser‘s barâ€" ber, and the designer and keeper of the Imperial moustache, said toâ€"day: â€""I fear these ladies have underâ€" taken a hopeless task." Public Opinion in Europe is Opposed to More Wars. A London cable says: Frederick W. Holls, United States member of the International Court of Arbitration, at The Hague, who is in London, afâ€" ter prolonged visits to St. Petersâ€" burg, Berlin and Vienna, in talking of his impressions of the relations between the European powers and America, said : n Quebec, Aug. 18.â€"The sword of honor which is to be presented to Lieut.â€"Col. Oscar Pelletier, D. O. C., by his Quebec friends, will be pubâ€" licly preserted at the City Hall by Lieut.â€"Governor Jette, next Tuesâ€" day. On one side is inscribed the British flag and the list of engageâ€" ments in which the colonel took part in South Africa. On the other is a portrait of the recipient, the flag of the Dominion, and the inâ€" scription, "Do not draw me withâ€" out cause; do not sheath me withâ€" out honor." Mole and Geoyge Parker, the two Woodstock boys who returned home from South Africa on â€" Wednesday, were tendered a welcome by the citizens on Friday night, and preâ€" sented with an address and a gold watch each. The presentation took place in the Vansittart Avenue Park and was witnessed by several thouâ€" sand people. f Sword for Lieut.â€"Col. Pelictier. Drowned From Horse‘s Back OUTLOOK ISs FOK PEACKE.
