" 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: Delicious Hot Biscuit are made with Royal Baking Powder, and are the most appe tizing, healthful and nutritious of foods. Hot biscuit made with im pure and adulterated baking powder are neither appetizing nor wholesome. 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. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 100 WILLIAM ST., NEW YORK. ARE MARCHING VERY RAPIDLY.
