know my papers will accept him read

a, one copy emlition which Theodore
Roosevelt especially ordered his pub
lishers, G. P. Putnam’s Sons, to make
for tlie occasion. Asa specimen of

the most finished that this country

hundred and fifty men have come in
at Mariboga and Kraalpan, pursued
by the Boers for four miles from the
scene of action. They report that
Methuen and Paris, with guns, bag
gage, etc., were captured by the
Boers. Methuen, when last seen, was
a prisoner. Have no details of the

A Second Dispatch.
In a second dispatch, dated Sunday,
March 9, lxird Kitchener says:
Paris has come in at Kraaipan
with tae remainder of the men. He
reports a column moving in two par
ties, one with ox wagons, left Twe-
Bosch at 3 a. m.. the other, with mule
wagons, started an hour later. Just
before dawn the Boers attacked. Be
fore reinforcements could reach them
the rear guard broke. In the mean
time a large number of Boers galloped
up on both flanks. These, at first,
were checked by flank parties, but a
panic and stampede of the mules had
begun and all the mule wagons, with
a terrible mixture of mounted men,
rushed past the ox wagons. All ef
forts to heck them were unavailing.
Major Paris collected 40 men and oc
cupied a position a mile in front of
the ox wagons, which were halted.
After a gallant, but useless, defense
the enemy rushed into the ox wagons
and Methuen was wounded in the
thigh. Paris, being surrounded at 10
a. m. Methuen is still in the Boer
camps. The killed include Lieutenant
G. R. Venning and T. P. W. Mesh am
of the Royal Artillery, who were both
killed while serving guns with ease
shot.
Lord Kitchener announces that Ma
jor Paris had surrendered and tele-
that he had reached Kraai
pan withy* the remainder'of his men.
It may be inferred that the Boers
subsequently released the major and
his company.
The court announced that, should
the defendants put in their appearance
on Monday, he would treat the bond
with a degree of liberality.
The argument on the demurrer to
the second indictment was continued
this morning at. 10 o’clock.
Judge Speer overruled the demur
rer on all grounds. In his ruling the
judge said that the only ground
which he took under consuleratinon in
this indictment was the question of
the bar of the statute of limitations,
that being the only new ground.
Wihtout expressing any opinion as to
the validity of the defense, this
ground was overruled, owing to its
prematureness, Judge Speer holding
that the question should properly be
presented to a jury.
