BOERS AGAIN ROUT BRITONS
Fifteen Hundred Dead Left On Battle Field
About Spion Kop.
WARREN IS FORCED BACK
Intrepid Burghers Could Not Be
Stopped By the Storm of
British Bullets.
A London dispatch under date of
Sunday says: General Buller reports
that Warren’s troops have retreated
south of the Tugela river. The Boers
eay that the British loss is 1,500 kill
ed. It is believed that this includes
the wounded. The Boers also claim
that 150 of the English troops surren
dered at Spion kop.
General Buller further states that
Spion Kop was abandoned on account
of lack of water, inability to bring
artillery there and the heavy Boer
fire. General Buller gives no list of
casualties. His whole force withdrew
south of the Tugela river with the evi
dent intention of reaching Ladysmith
by another route. Following is the
text of General Bnller’s dispatch,dated
Spearman’s camp, Saturday, January
27th, 6:10 p. m.
“On January 20th Warren drove
back the enemy and obtained posses
sion of the southern crests of the high
tableland extending from the line of
Acton Homes and Hongers poort to
the western Ladysmith hills. From
then to January ‘2sth he remained in
close contact with the enemy.
“The enemy held a strong position
on a range of small kopjes stretching
from northwest to southeast across
the plateau from Aeon Homes,
through Spion kop to the left bank of
the Tugela.
“The actual position held was per
perfectly tenable, but did not lend it
self to an advance, as tho southern
slopes were so steep that Warren
could not get effective artillery posi
sition, and water supply was a diffi
culty.
“On January 23d I assented to his
attacking Spion kop, a large hill, in
deed a mountain, which was evidently
the key to the position, but was far
more accessible from the north than
from the south.
“On the night of January 23d he
attacked Spion kop, but found it very
difficult to hold, as its perimeter was
too large and water, which he had
been led to believe existed in this ex
traordinary dry season, was found
very deficient.
“The crests were held all that day
against the severe attacks and a heavy
shell fire. Our men fought with great
gallantry. I would especially mention
the conduct of the Second Cameroni
ans and the Third King’s Rifles, who
supported the attack on the mountains
from the steepest side and, in each
case, fought their way to the top, and
the Second Lancashire Fusilliers and
Second Middlesex, who magnificently
maintained the best traditions of the
British army throughout the trying
day of January 24tb, and Thorncroft’s
mounted infantry who fought through
the day equally well along side of
them. .
General Woodgate, who was in com
mand at the summit, having been
wounded, the officer who succeeded
him decided on the night of January
24th to abandon the position and did
so before dawn January 25th.
FROM BOER HEADQUARTERS.
The following was sent out from
Boer headquarters, Modder Spruit,
under date of Thursday, Jan. 25:
Some Vryheid burghers from the out
posts from the highest hills of the
Spion kop group rushed into the laa
ger saying that the kop was lost aud
that the English had taken it. Re-en
forcements were ordered up, but noth
ing could be done for some time, the
hill being enveloped in thick mist.
At dawn the Heidelberg and Caroli
na contingents, supplemented from
other commandoes, began the assent
of the hill. Three spurs, precipitions
projections, faced the Boer positions.
Up these the advance was made. The
NAME IH PORTO RICO.
Senate Commltte Decides That Island
Khali He So Known.
The senate committee on Porto Rico
has decided so far as it can decide,
that the island shall be known as Por
to Rico and not as Puerto Rico, as
fixed by a recent executive order. At
a meeting of the committee Saturday
in connection with the Foraker bill,
providing a form of government for
the island, the spelling of the name
was unanimously decided upon.
The committee went over the bill in
detail, deciding upon many changes
in phraseology and some alterations in
the general provision of the measure.
horses were left under the first terraces
of rocks.
Sealing the steep hill the Boers
found that the British had improved
the opportunity and intrenched heavi
ly. Between the liueeof trenches was
an open veldt, which had to be rushed
under a heavy fire not only from rifles,
but from lyddite aud shrapnel from
field guns. Three forces ascended the
three spurs, co-ordinately under eovei
of fire from the Free State Krupps,
a Creusot and a big Maxim.
The English tried to rush the Baers
with the bayonet, but their infantry
went down before the Boer rifle fire
as before a scythe.
The Boer investing party advanced
step by step until 2 o’clock in the af
ternoon when a white flag went up aud
150 men in the front trenches surren
dered, being sent as prisoners to tho
head laager.
The Boer advance continued on tho
two kopjes east of Spion kop. Many
Boers were shot, but so numerous
were the burghers that the gaps filled
automatically. Toward twilight they
reached the summit of the second
kopje, but did not get further.
The British Maxims belched flame,
but a wall of fire from the Mausers
held the English back. Their center
under this pressure gradually gave
way and broke, abandoning the posi
tion.
Firing continued for some time and
the Fusiliers and the Light Horse
serving as infantry, threw up thier
arms and rushed out of the trenches.
The British dead loft on the battle
field number 1,500.
The effect of the abandonement of
Spion kop by the English can hardly
be gauged as yet, but it must prove to
he immense.
GOVERNMENT CRITICISED.
All the editorials in London papers
of Sunday morning breathed the calm
of determination. No one will allow
that one reverse could deter the coun
try from the object it has set itself to
attain, whatever the sacrifices which
may be involved.
Very frank criticisms of the govern
ment, however, is beginning to be
heard even in quarters that have hith
erto refrained. The Daily Mail bodily
throws all the blame upon Sir Michael
Hicks-Beaeh, Lord Lansdowno aud
Lord Wolseley.
DADY TURNED DOWN.
Judge Speer Refuses Injunction
Sought Against Georgia and
Alabama Road.
At Macon, Ga., Saturday, Judge
Speer, in the case of Dady against the
Georgia and Alabama railway, refused
the injunction sought to prevent the
consolidation of the Seaboard Air-Line
system. He referred to the fact that
causes substantially similar were pend
ing in the federal jurisdiction of Vir
ginia and North Garolina, holding that
the court which first took cognizance
the case should carry it to its termina
tion.
He further held that only a majority
vote of stockholders was necessary for
such consolidation in Georgia and that
it was not properly maintainable, that
because the defendants, John Skelton
'Williams, occupied the position of a
member of the voting trust, president
of the Georgia aud Alabama and of
the Florida Central and Peninsular,
that the mergor or consolidation
brought about, through his instrumen
tality should ho enjoined.
An interesting part of the decision
is that w hich bears upon the competi
tive character of the two roads. Trac
ing their general trend and calling at
tention to the fact that after leav
ing Savanuali they are in nowisee
connected save through the interme
diary of one or two shallow rivers on
which small steamboats occasionally
ply and that intervening the two lines
are powerful competitive systems, he
says: “It is not difficult to perceive
that the contemplated system of the
Seaboard Air-Line, instead of tending
to defeat competition, must invaria
bly tend to preserve it.”
WILL LAST LONG TIMF.
Tran.vital Agent Declare, the Fn 1 of Hog
ttlitle* I* Not In Sight.
The Deutsche Teges Zeitung (Ber
lin) publishes an interview with Dr.
Leyds which represents him as hav ng
said: “The war will certainly last a
very long time. The Transvaal will
decidedly not be the first to seek
peace, and will refuse any proposals
on the basis of the status quo.”
Roland Heed Recovering.
Roland Reed, the actor, who has
been ill in St. Luke’s hospital in New
York for several weeks, is reported to
be resting easily. His physicians say
he is on the road to recovery.
GOVERNORS
!SSUE ORDERS
Goebel Gives Instructions as Chief
Executive of Kentucky.
TAYLOR ADJOURNS ASSEMBLY
He Declares In Address That State
Insurrection Exists In
Frankfort.
The following proclamation was
issued Wednesday night by Governor
Goebel:
“Commonwealth of Kentucky, Ex
ecutive Department, Frankfort, Ky.,
January 31, 1900. Whereas, it has
been made known to me that certain
persons without authority of law havo
banded themselves together for the
unlawful purpose of forcibly prevent
ing the general assembly of Kentucky
from assembling and discharging their
official duties at the seat of govern
ment aud have for said unlawful pur
pose assembled in the city of Frank
fort the First aud Second regimeuts of
Kentucky State Guards, and by force
of arms have unlawfully taken posses
sion of tho hall of tho house of repre
sentatives and the senate chamber of
the state of Kentucky, as well as all
other public buildings aud archives of
the commonwealth, and have, by force,
intimidation aud violence expelled the
general assembly from the capifcol
buildings and refused to permit the
senate and house of representatives to
hold their sessions therein and are
now terrorizing the representatives of
the people aud other good citizens of
the commonwealth.
“Now, therefore, I, William Goebel,
governor of the commonwealth of Ken
tucky, do hereby command the said
First and Secoud regiment of the
Kentucky State Guard aud each and
every member thereof to return to
their homes and several occupations,
and there remain until lawfully called
into active service;
“I also command all persons, what
soever, who are now unlawfully en
gaged in interfering with and intimi
dating members of the general assem
bly of this commonwealth, to desist
from terrorizing and intimidating the
said members of the general assembly
aud all other good citizens of this
commonwealth.
“Given under my hand as governor
of the commonwealth of Kentucky, at
Fraukfort, Ky., this 31st day of Janu
ary, 1900. “William Goebel.”
TAYLOR TAKES ACTION.
A Frankfort dispatch says: Governor
Taylor, Wednesday afternoon, issued
the following address to the peop'e:
“To the Peopue of Kentucky: The
most lamentable condition of affairs
ever experienced by our people has
rendered prompt action on the part of
the chief executive of the state abso
lutely necessary. A long series of un
precedented and unlawful acts prac
ticed by those in charge of the legisla
tive interests of the state has culmi
nated in the most fearful condition of
the period to the state. The dreadful
tragedy which occurred yesterday
shocked aud startled all, and can be
no more sincerely deplored by any one
than myself.
“To attempt to legislate under such
conditions of excitement and threat
ened violence as now prevail in
Frankfort would be sheer madness,
aud I have, therefore, in the exercise
of my constitional power, adjourned
the legislature to convene in London,
Ky., on February Gth.
“I have taken every precaution to
preserve the peace, that every citizen
may know that life and property are
safe and will be protected with every
resource of the commonwealth. I trust
that in this laudable effort I have the
support of every law-abiding citizen of
Kentucky. * W. S Tayuor,
“Governor of Kentucky."
WHIPPED TO DEATH.

Marshal of Tlfiou.
News comes from Tifton, Ga., that
W. W. Beard, an officer of the law, is
now evading a warrant in the hands of
the sheriff, who is making a diligent
search for the fugitive.
Haturday ni ht an overcoat was miss
ed from the hotel, and Sunday morn
ing three unknown negroes, who had
come in the previous day, were arrest
ed on suspicion. As no evidence could
be obtained against them, the marshal
and several men took them off in the
woods to make them confess. They
were severely beaten, from the effects
of which two of thoi died.
A coroner’s jury was summoned aDd
after investigation returned a verdict

marshal, and others, and that the same
was willful murder.”
