LOURENZO MARQUEZ. Delagoa
Bay, Nov. 14. Father Matthews, who
las arrived here from Pretoria, says
vlth reference to the surrender of the
Irish Fusiliers and the Gloucestershire
troops at Nicholson's Nek that, after
the mules stampeded, the force got
hard pressed hy the enemy. They
aould have held out, however, but some
luhordinate, without Instructions, holst
;d a flag of truce on his own resposl
billty. Nothing then remained but to
lurrender.
"We were sent out." says Father
Matthews, "to occupy a position with
!hi! object of preventing two Boer
forces from joining. We started at
t : 30 Sunday evening, marched 10 miles
tnd got to the hill about 1 o'clock Mon
Jay morning.
"The first mishap was that the moun
tain battery stampeded and scattered
the whole lot of mules. We formed
up again, and gained the top of the
hill. The guns were gone, but not all
the ammunition. I do not know what
itampeded the mules. They knocked me
Sown. It was pitch dark.
"We had one hour's sleep. The firing
began just after daybreak, being some
what slock for a time. Hut finally the
Boers crept around, and then the firing
became furious. Our men made a
breastwork of stones.
"Soon after 2 o'clock noon there was
a general cry of 'Cease fire!' but our
fellows would not stop firing. Major
Adye came up and confirmed the order,
tnd then the bugle sounded cease fire.
"In our locality there was a rumor
that a white flag was raised by a young
officer, who thought his batch of 10
men were tho sole survivors. But we
were 900 alive, having started with per
haps 1,000. I think many of the bat
terymen escaped.
"Our officers and men were furious
at their surrender. The Boers did not
seem to be In great numbers on the
spot. But I heard that the main body
had galloped off. Our men had to give
up their arms, and the officers were
sent to Commandant Steenekamp.
"The officer then ordered the men to
fall in."

RUSSIA AND JAPAN.
Rumors of Trouble Between the Two
Great Power.
VICTORIA, B. C, Nov. 13. That the

seems certain from news received here.

war between Russia and Japan that
many merchants, both Chinese and Jap
anese, who are doing business in New
Chwang, Port Arthur and Che Foo, have
sent their families to Shanghai and else
where in the south for safety.
It is believed Japan rather courts
the struggle, as she is now second only
to England In naval strength and for
years has viewed the encroachments of
Russia with resentment ana alarm.
LI Hung Chang, In an Interview given

on the Philippines ruestlon, blames the
United States for departing from its
traditional policy, saying that had Gen
eral Grant lived the country would never
have entered upon the policy that he
(Li) prophesied would be disastrous to
the United States. He said China would

eral regiments of Chinese to fight Fili
pinos If they were enlisted in the Phil
ippines and with the knowledge and con
Bent of the Chinese consul there.
