Bethune has report- ed that While in the direction of New- castle, Natal, he was ambushed by & party of Boers six miles west of Vry- heid, in the Transvaal, and that very few cf his foree'escaped. His casual- ties numbered sixty-six men, ‘The war office has received the following from Gen. Buller: “IT have received the following from Bethune: ‘While marching in the d}- rection of Newcastle one of my squad- rons was ambushed by Boers six miles west of Vryheid, and Very Few Escaped. Lieuts. Lausum and Capell are among the missing. Capt. the Earl De la Warr is slightly wounded in the leg. The total casualties are about sixty- six. I have returned to N’Qutu for supplies. Will march to-morrow for Newcastle. via Dundee.’ ”’ Gen. Buller then proceeds: “I de- tached Col. Bethune and _ about 500 men from Dundee May 17, with in- structions to march by Vaut's drift and show his force at N’Qutu, which was Col. Bryan T. Mahon, : of the Expedition That Relieved Mafeking. OO reperted to have been evacuated by the enemy preparatory to the return of the magistrate and civil establishment to the district. He was to rejoin me at Newcastle afterward.” Boers Will Continue Resistance. The Transvaal government has in- formed the correspondents at Pretoria that it has not consicered and does not intend to consider unconditional sur- render. The foreign consuls have been notified that Johannesburg will be de- fended and the yovernment has de- clared it will not hold itself responsi- ble for damages arising from the siege. Pretoria dispatches affirm that President Kruger, President Steyn and all the most prominent officials of both republics, after a prolonged inter- change of opinions are determined to continue the resistance, but that a m1 nority of the leaders advocate surren- der without terms. Mrs. Reitz, wife of the Transvaal state secretary, and her family, with the families of other officials. ve gone to Lourenzo Mar- nnesburg and Pretoria are red of non-combattants. The Boer chie who now recognize the possibility that they will have to Defend These Cities are prevaring with the utmost haste. The Boer spirit has been rising from a low ebb and is now ready for a stedfast resistence. Nevertheless, ac- cording to the Daily Chronicle, long messages in Dutch have been received by the British government by way of Amsterdam, in which President Kru- ger seaks peace. According to one ac- count President Kruger surrenders un- corcitionally; according to another he acks for terms, but cable inquiries fail to confirm the assertion that corres- pondence ihas really passed between Great Britain and the Transvaal re- specting terms. Lord Roberts is again moving. The British infantry left Kroonstad Monday and headquarters was expected to lezve yesterday. The railway has been restered and the first train due to arrive to-day.

It is the ex- pectation of well known okservers that the Vall river sixty-five miles below Kroonstad will be crossed before the end of the week. Sir Redvers Buller, in a general order to his troops, con- gratulated them on the result of their ten d. ’ operation, says they were ouly checked at Laing’s Nek by a fresh commando sent from the Transvaal. Yen. Clery, with a cavalry brigade, en- gaged the rear guard of the Boers at Laing’s Nek Sunday, captured a num- ber of wagons and took some pr‘soners, His artillery shelled the nek. The Boers in their retreat laid waste the territory, blew up bridges and burned several houses, as many as six in New- castle. The machinery of the naviga- tion colleries was ruined. Gen. Buller, replying to residents of Newcastle who presented to him a trophy, said he expccted to return from Pretoria soon. Nothing new concerning the relief of Mafeking has come through. All the accounts of the engagement on May 16 extol the bravery of the Canadians. Col. Mahon’s column arrived at the rendesvous ene hour after Col. Plumer, showing with what accuracy the moye- ments had been planned. Kruger Transfers His Property. The Lourenzo Marques corresponda- ent of the Times says he has it on.un- questionable authority that within the last six weeks President Kruger has transferred the bulk of his property in the Trarsvaal to personal friends in order to avoid its confiscation by Great Britain. WORD FROM A PARTICIPANT. Mahon Reports That He Entered the City May 18. London, May 23.—Lord Roberts reports to the war office, in a dispatch dated Kroonstad, May 21, as follows: “i “Mahon reports that the flying column entered Mafeking at 4 a. m. May 18. He was stubbornly opposed by 1,500 men on May 17, nine miles from Mafeking, but the Boers were driven from their strong positions after five hours’ fighting, thanks, he says, to the magnificent qual- ities of his troops. A detachment of Ca- nadian artillery, by a series of forced marches, reached him the morning of the fighting, and rendered very vaiuable assistance. Mahon’s casualties about thirty. The Boer losses were heavy.”” “BILL” BJORNSTAD HIT. A Filipino Bullet Wounds Him in the Knee. Minneapolis, May 23.—A. W. Biorn- stad, who served with the Thirteenth Minnesota regiment as captain of Co.n- pany H, has been wounded in the Phil- ippires. In a letter to Former Lieut. Roy Pearce of Minneapolis, Capt.
