BOERS CAPTURE
GENERAL METHUEN
Orange River Colony Scene of Big South
African Battle,
DELAREY LED THE BOER FORCES.
The British Were Defeated With Heavy Loss,
and Their Guns and Baggage Fell lato
the Hands of the Enemy This Is One of
the Most Brilliant Strokes on the Part of
the Boers Since the Outbreak of the War.
London, (By Cable).—The Boers have
South Africa, General Lord Methuen,
who, until his defeat at Maagersfontein,
had been considered
greatest military strategists,
one of
has been
der Commander Delarey, one of their
star generals.
The battle was fought just before day-
break March 7, between Winburg and
Lichtenburg, Orange River Colony
The Boers captured four guns.
The British casualties were:
Killed—Three officers and 38 men.
Wounded—Five officers and 72 men.
Missing—One officer and 200 men.
Delarey, who has proved himself the
most able of all the Boer generals, has
within a fortnight gained a second de-
cisive victory.
His first victory was the capture of
Von Donop’s convoy, when the British
casualties, in killed, wounded and men
made prisoners, totaled 632, and he has
now added to his laurels by the capture,
for the first time throughout the cam-
paign, of a prominent British general, and
by inflicting what is generally admitted to
be one of the worst reverses the British
have suffered throughout the whole war.
It is supposed that Lord Methuen was
marching with intention to avenge the
capture of the Von Donop convoy.
The news of the disaster came like a
thunderbolt to London. The extra edi-
tions of the cvening papers giving an ac-
count of the disaster were eagerly
bought up, and their readers hurried
through the sjreets with anxious faces,
and bitter remarks were passed on the
subject of the government's declaration
that the war in South Africa was over

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS,
Vast Area of Arid Lands.
The Newlands Irrigation bill was re-
ported to the House by Representative
Mondell, of Wyoming, for the Irrigation
Committee,
The report says that the territory af-
fected by the bill is nearly one-half the
area of the United States and that in
the 16 arid land States there are over
535.000,000 acres, or more than one-sixth
of the area of the country of public land
subject to entry. Of this vast tract only
10,000,000 acres will produce crops with-
out irrigation, showing the wide extent
of the arid districts.
Mr. Mondell points out that with such
a vast domain no agency other than the
government can deal adec uately with the
problem of “irrigation. He also
that irrigation long ago passed the ex
perimental stage and that its great ad
vantages have been established in this
| country and abroad. The bill, he says,
| Proposes no taxation to carry out the
{ project, the entire expense being derived
from the sale of public lands i the
