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.
