London, Dec. 18.—Later de
tails were Received today of the
march of General Westinacott’s
brigade down the Bara Valley and
they indicate that the obstacles to
.the retreat are more serious than
supposed. A dispatch from the
correspondent of the Reuter Tele
gram Company at Mamani, dated
December 14, says:
“The troops had io march in a
river bed, 600 yards wide, swelled
from the melting snow and ice
cold. Ou the right were sheer
brush covered ranges.reaching up
to the snow level, and on the left
were cliffs, all the heights being
occupied by natives.
“The baggage train, the stretch
er bearers, the over-loaded ammu
nition p-nies, which became
swamped in the stream, the hos
pitals, with iin»s filled with
stretchers and the crowds of camp
followers were all mixed in inex
tricable confusion, a struggling
mass wading knee-deep in the
freez ng water, urged onwaid by
the knowledge that a relentless foe
was in the rear.’'
A Another account says. “There
was fierce fighting at all hours of
the day and night. The rearguard
was continually harrassed and
several times miraculously escap
ed being separated from the main
column and massacred. Tho
troops behaved splendidly under
almost unsurmour.table difficul
ties and when attacked openly
poured a withering fire into the
natives who pressed forward al
most to the bayonets’ points once
before being repulsed with a lose of
400 men. The British loss also
was heavy.

POPE BROWN.
Favors Allen D. Candler For
Governor.
The inward significance of the
declination of Hon. J Pope
Brown to enter the race for govern
is that he will throw his whole
support and influence to Colonel
Allen D. Cancler, according to
rumor.
Colonels Brown and Candler are
great friends, personally and po
litically, and the fact that they
have been seen in conference to
gether several times rec-m ly gives
color to lhe story, which comes
from a good source.
Colonel Brown was seen by a
Commercial reperter last night,
and asked about the story but as
a matter of course ho denied that
he had entered into any compact
to support any candidate.
“But won’t you support Colonel
Candler?”
“I can’t say,” said Colonel
Bro.vu, with that mystifying smile
of bis. —Atlanta Commercial.
It isn't any wonder that we
were ali a bit puzzled as to who
was the new President of Cuba
when Gamez was playing a game
with two of them on the board.
