HOT FIGHTING. "
Boers Effect a Lodgment In the
Outskirts of Mafeklng,
London, May 16. —A dispatch to
the Daily Mail from Lorenzo Mar
quez, dated Tuesday, says:
There is no doubt that there was
desperate fighting at Mafeking Sat
urday, but it is believed to have
gone in favor of the garrison. All
that can be ascertained of a reliable
character follows:
The Boers, using artillery, at
tacked the town Saturday. Very
soon the Kaffir location was in
flames, some say as the result of
shell fire, others ai the result of
treachery. Fighting at close quar
ters became general and in ti e
midst of the confusion the Boers
gained possession of the Kaffir lo
cation, from which point of van
tage they brought guns to bear on
the town at close range.
By an adroit move the garrison,
despite its attenuated numbers,
succeeded in effectually surround
ing the party of Boers, who had
captured the Kaffir location. Se
vere fighting followed, but accord
ing to latest reports the Boers still
hold the location, in which they
are probably surrounded.
Ihe truth is, I believe, that the
Pretoria authorities, knowing ot
the plan for relief, gave orders to
Gen, Syman to storm the place.
As soon as the location was in
flames, Boer bulletins of victory
were flying about everywhere to
encourage the weak-kneed burgh
ers. Boers who came down here
yesterday from Pretoria produced
for the edification of incredulous
Britishers two telegrams by offi
cials, one of which was signed by
Syman, and said:

Hot biscuit made with im

It all depends upon the bak
ing powder.
Take every care to have
your biscuit made with Royal
baking powder, if you would
avoid indigestion.

“Gordon’s brigade is in touch

“Broadwood’s brigade overtook
the part of the enemy at Potgieter’s

“French with Porter’s and Dick

“We have taken nearly 100 pris

All the Free Staters who could
give a good account of themselves
have been disarmed and allovved to

“The nights are getting much
