Mafeking I' THE LAST SORTIE Thrilling Story. HOW OVR OFFICERS DIED. ALLEGATIONS AGAINST THE BOERS. EXPLOSIVE BULLETS USED. ["TIMES'' TELEGRAM.] MAFEKING, December 26. At dawn this morning Colonel Baden-Powell organised an unsuccessful attack upon a strong position of the enemy at the Game Tree, two miles from Mafeking. During the night an armoured train. with Maxim and Hotchkiss guns, under Captain Williams, and a detachment of British South Africa Police, took up a position a few hun- dred yards from Game Tree. aid to the rear of the right flank. Captain Fitzclarence, with D Squadron, and Captain Vernon, King's Royal Rifle Corps, with C Squadron, undertook an attack upon the east side of the entrenchment. Captain Lord Charles Bentinck and a squad- ron were in reserve up~n the left, while the extreme left wing was occupied by artillery, under Major Panzern. and the galloping Maxim of the Cape Police, the whole being under Colonel Here. under Major Panzern. and the galloping Maxim of the Cape Police, the whole being under Colonel Here. Emplacements were thrown up during the night, orders being issued to attack at the first appearance of daylight, and the artillery fire to desist upon a prolonged hooting from the armoured train. At daybreak our guiil opened fire, and rapidly drew a reply from the enemy, our thells bursting within effective range. Captain Vernon gave the signal to cease fire and for the advance of his squadron to begin. As our men engaged the position with their rifle fire the strength of the fort was found to be greater than we had supposed. The enemy concentrated such an exceedingly hot fire that the advance of Captain Vernon was almost impossible, but, with remarkable heroism and gallantry, Captains Sandford and Vernon and Lieutenant Pa'on and the Scout Corke, who guided the squadrons, and a few men actually reached the sand bags of the fort. Within three hundred yards of the area of the fort nothing living could exist, since the ground was swept by Mauser and Martini bul- lets. The men who had charged through this zone of Are suffered terribly, and in following their officers to capture the fort 20 men of C squad- ron lost their lives. I Captain Sandford, No. 2 Troop, first fell, and Captain Vernon, already twice wounded, and Lieutenant Paton. No. 1 Troop, were killed at the foot of the fort. These two officers, climbing the ditch which surrounded the fort, thrust their revolvers through tlvj enemy's loopholes, only to be ihot themselves the next moment. The Game Tree is surrounded with scrub, which contained many sharpshooters. Their accuracy of fire still further confused the men who had followed Captain Vernon. and who saw him and his brother officer., killed. Being without commanders they were driven off at one point, but endeavoured to iicale others. They, however, found the position of the Boers at Game Tree almost impregnable. When we retired under cover of the armoured train so many of the men had been wounded that a suspension of hostilities at once took plaice. Under the auspices of the Red Cross the veldt round the Boer position was at once dotted with flags of mercy, and it was seen that our wounded were scattered within but a small radius of the fort. We had almost completely surrounded it. and had it not been so extraordinarily, well protected we should have been in possession. I went with the ambulance to Game Tree. From the majority of the wounds it appeared that the bullets were of an explosive character. A field cornet declared that they did not use explosive bullets. On being shown the severity of the wounds the field cornet admitted that at one time explosive bullets had been served out. A little later I called the field cornet's atten- tion to the fact that four of his men were rifting the bodies of our dead. He expressed his regret, and said the younger Boers were so unruly as to be beyond hit control. The field cornet then asserted that our troops had stripped the bpdyjgf General Koch and left him to lie upon the field, wounded and naked. This was endorsed by a number of the enemy. One man stated that orders had been given to him by Field-cornet Botha to take anything found upon the wounded and dead. It was then alleged that the dead had not been robbed. I pointed out the bodies of five of our men whose pockets had been turned ineide out. and who were at that moment being brought up under an escort of the enemy. He was also eoiil4orite<fwith three, or" four of our wounded, who declared that they had bad their personal effects stolen, their ring3 taken from their, fingers, and their money from their pockets. This did not please the Boers, who declared that, although the dead had been very brave men. he would like to have seen more killed. and that the combined forces of the Transvaal and Free State were equal. if not superior, to .ur.. We applied to thit gentleman for permission to bring up the armoured train, in order that the conveyance of the wounded to the hospital base might be facilitated. This was at once refused. because they thought we meant to fire upon them. Eventually a messenger from the colonel secured a not very willing consent. We believe that spies carried the news of our contemplated move upon Game Tree, since, although the Boers had been sniping from it for weeks, there was no reason to believe it was more than an advance post in the keeping of a few men. THE BRITISH WOUNDED. LORDS BENTINCK AND CECIL I I UNINJURED. THEATER'S TELEGRAM ] CAPE TOWN. Friday. Inquiries made through the War Department at Pretoria have elicited the information that neither Lord Edward Cecil nor Lord Charles Bentinck was wounded in the sortie from Mafeking on December 26.

Westernjorder. COLONEL PILCHER'S FORCE. [PRESS ASSOSIAN WAR SPECIAL,] I BELMONT, Friday. Colonel Pilcher's night march from Cook's Farm was an admirable performance. It was decided upon in consequence of information which reached Colonel Pilcher yesterday after- noon to the effect that the Boers,in two columns, one 600 strong and the other 200 strong intended to effect a junction and attack the column. At eight o'clock in the evening the order was given to in-span and up-saddle, and the whole force moved out quietly and noiselessly. The night was dark, but the arrangements were so complete as to keeping distances that there was not the slightest hitch throughout the march. A halt was made for two hours in the middle of the night to allow both men and horses some sleep. The guns and Queensianders formed the rear- guard, touch being maintained by mounted infantry. The Cornwails have marched in, haring done the 22 miles in two days, beside& being kept alert ail night—a most reditable performance. Two companies of the Canadians hel da pass six miles from here to prevent the enemy from attempting to cut off the force. The Press Association correspondent adds:- I have to rectify a mistake in my first tele- gram from Dover Farm. It was to B Company I of the Queensianders. and not to A, that the rebel prisoners surrendered.

J ir.-I am convinced that there are numbers Jf persons who feel like myself that, alt-hough J they are unable to go to the front themselves, i they are anxious to be of some use in the present crisis. I venture to suggest that a list should bo published stating generally what articles will be of service to our Volunteers and Yeomanry. [ understand that the Government repay the cost of equipment, but there must be many articles which the general public can contri- bute, and which they would readily give, in addition to money: The list should state to whom the article3 should be sent.—I am, &c.. LEWIS D. NICHOLL. 4, Trinity-place, Swansea, January 5, 1900. CARDIFF POST-OFFICE IN- SPECTOR FOR THE FRONT. PRESENTATION BY HIS ",OL- LEAGUES, A large gathering of members of the Cardiff Post-office staff assembled in one of the large halls of the office on Saturday morning for the purpose of making' a presentation to Mr. S. Bowyer, who is about to leave for service in South Africa. Mr. Bowyer has been a mem- ber of the Carditi Post Office staff for about ten years, and for some time past, has held the office of inspector of postmen. He has for several years been a member of the Gloucester- shire Yeomanry, and has now volunteered for service in South Afriea with the Imperial Yeomanry. The presentation took tfce forjp of a pair of Goerz-Trieder binocular field- glasses.. Mr. H. E. Spenceley, in making the presen- tation, said that they all hoped that Mr. Bowyer would find the glasses of service to him in South Africa, and that he would be spared to bring. them back. Above all, they hoped that he would not let the glasses get into the hands of the Boers.. iLausiit<;r.an;1, applause). Personally, he .w.ou.W give a good account of himself on active ser- vice, and he felt great pleasure in asking him to accept that token of regard from his col- leagues. „ Mr. W- C. Thomas, speaking on behalf of the postmen, said that they were sorry to lose such an esteemed officer. Every man on the staff had subscribed most willingly. Whilst wishing him God speed, they hoped that he would soon return -to-Cardiff.(Applaaase.). Mr. Leonard Jones -(chief- elerk)-expresaed his admiration of the spirit that had led Mr. Bowyer to volunteer for service, and Mr. W. T. Jones (postal superintendent) added that, whilst they would miss him very much, they all held the best wishes towards him. If he showed the same energy in the field as he did in carrying out his postnl duties they would be certain to hear a good account of him. (Applause.) Mr. Bowyer bri«rflyret«M*edr thanks andofchs men raised hearty cheers for their "only Volunteer." This makes tha thirty-sixth man that has left the Cardiff Post-oftica staff for service in I Africa. Of these, thirty have joined their regiments as Reservists, five have been called up an telegraphists, and Mr. Bowyer goes as a Volunteer, so that he makes considerable sacrifices. The members of the staff arc making weekly collections on behalf of the wives and families, .and have already raised R52. 1 40

MURDEROUS AFFRAY. On Saturday there was a terrible affray be- tween two labouring men at Wolverhampton. In the middle of the quarrel one, named M'Cormick, who was in a state of frenzy, pulled a razor from his pocket and drew the blade, across Brian's throat, inflicting a fear- ful wound. Brian was taken to the hospital, and M'Cormick decamped.

The Man in the Stil-eet There is one subject of popular interest, which is never discussed in this column. The "man in the street" may always turn here for relief from the demands of the fetish which pursues and enwraps him at every other moment of his conscious exis- tence..Every other column of the paper may be overrur by this subject—every other topic may be crushed out of existence by it-but here, at least. it never enters. We may diacugs the war. We may touch, with a light band, the century problem. But the other ma ter never enters here. This modern Juggernaut has for years t5g made imperious deniands upon the time, attention, and energies of the whole popu- lation. Its devotees—especially those in- side a newspaper office-imagin-e that everything should give place when it is in procession. One of the greatest difficulties which sane conductors of newspapers have to contend with is the task of persuading these fetish worshippers that there are st ill realms which ,are not swayed bv this mad- ness. To this column, therefore, readers wearied of the otherwise all-pervading topic may turn as to an oasis in the desert. One of the beneficent results of the present war will; be the awakening of the consciousness of the youth of this country to other pursuits than that of the idol worship with which they have-been hithe.'to obsessed. The time and energy expended upon this may be turned to mucli better account in the int-erests of the Empire. If this is yielded voluntarily, so much the better. If not. then it will have to be obtained by means of conscription, and after that we shall have relief from the Octopus that o,Vresses us. In the master of the century problem, it should be enough for Protestants to recol- lect that the Papaty regards the present as the first vear of the twentieth century. It xljould be enough for patriots that the German Emperor and the French people also agree that 99 and 0 make 100. It should be enough for sane men to realise that any attemnt to discuss the qu-estion at length is calculated to ctethrofie aiiy ordi- nary reason. Let the discussion, then, be deferred for twelvemonths. Thus we shall preserve Reason on her throne, and at the end of that period the question will have adjusted itself, for it will then avail nothing to main- tain one side or the other! An observant correspondent^writing with reference to Notesin "By the-Way" column last Wedmsdav referring to the alleged honesty of the Chinese nation, observes that Ah Sin is not as white as he is painted. There is no doubt (writes this correspondent) that in the matter of adhering to contracts the Chinaman stands exceedingly high', "but'theirue'fttplanKt'i'on, probably, is-not -'that ""hiyj" mdfitMfcy :ls superior to that of the Japanese, but that the unit in China is the family, and not the individual. In China there is a collective responsibility on the part of the family for the behaviour of each member, both in so far as concerns good order and financial obligation. A debt is never cancelled ex- cept by payment, and ttest^Mr^s as-a bur- den from father to son. WTben the Chinaman is removed from the family circle and conducts his operations in foreign lands on his own account, he usually disolays the same characteristics as the Japanese and other Orientals. This accounts for the difference between the ex- perience of Mr. William Jones and that of the Americans resident in the Western States. The banking transactions of the Chinese rather remind my Mentor of those of many Dissenting chaoels. "Some time ago" (he writes), "1 asked an acquaintance of mine, who is the manager of a large in- surance company, how he came to lend money at a very low rate of interest upen small chapels sittle in out-of-the-way dis- tricts, and of practically no value except for the purposes of the community wor- shipping in them. His reply was, 'Each chapel usually has about twenty deacons or trustees. They- all- +edome Tymonally responsible for the-nwraeyy-and. although, no one of them may be a man of any par- ticular substance, the principal and interest are always forthcoming, and we have never yet made a bad debt. It is a sort of family loan.) Propriety, we are often told; is a matter of longitude and latitude. -Tfee regulations of Mrs. Grundy vary with the varying climes. Within the limits of the Central Empire, the Mongolian's integrity is a matter of tradition and family arrange- ment outside, he is as other men, or as the Heathen Chinee of Bret Harte! [ The most accommodating fixture in Car- diff social functions is the "annual ban- quet" of the Central Conservative Club, sometimes known as the "House of Lords." This event, as its title implies, occurs once a year, except when anything else inter- venes. Then it cheerfully becomes biennial, triennial, quadrennial, and, this year, pro- mises to become for the nonce quin- quennial. It may be postponed from time to time, but, like death and the tax-collec- tor, it is bound to arrive, and is always "annual." Patriotic military fervour is held to cover a multitude of shortcomings in these days. But if Lord Windsor imagines that his devotion in this direction is going to save him from the obligation to attend the function referred to above he is mistaken. This annual banquet can and will wait, if necessary, till the war is over, in order to fulfil the pledges given that Lord Windsor will preside.. The people who arrange and who attend this function are used to wait- ing. At each gathering, when it does arrive, they look back over the waste of years, to detect the nebulous shadow of the last meeting, and, with prophetic vision, they pierce the future to anticipate the next. A few of these annual gatherings would suffice to bridge the gulf of centuries. They are useful when they arrive, for they re- mind us far more fcroibly than New Years' Days or birthdays how rapidly we are approaching the sunny gide of life. The postponement of last night's f tine t. ion will have other uses than the inculca- tion of the imperative obligation attaching to pledges. It will give ample time for our generals to crumple up the Boers if they are ever going to do so, so that there shall be ample occasion for rejoicing when the banqueters assemble. It will also open the wa.v for the attendance thereat of distin- guished travellers who are rettirning with their blushing honours thick upon them, and chockful of the most wonderful remini- scences and the most thrilling adventures.

PEN MARK WOMAN'S EXPERIENCES. HOW A LITTLE BOOK GAVE HER PEACE OF MIND. -chapter in" It little, book- has oft- timei been the small beginning that led to a great end. A couple of pages contained information that removed a great burden from a Penmark woman's mind. and restored hap- piness in her home. Hearing that Mrs. Mar- garet Hopkins, of the village named, had a joyful story to tell. a "Western Mail" reporter journeyed to her cottage. He found her a pleasant, homely little woman of 29 summers. "Well," said the reporter. "I am told that you can tell me something about yourself that others would like to. know?" "Yes," she replied, as. She welcomed him to the .house, adding apologetically (as the children had come in for the mid-day meal), "I didn't expect to see you!" "Just so," said he. "We don't always wait to b asked. Now, just tell me all about it. please "Weil; all my troubles began about two years jago," she explained. "First. I had a pain m my side. then it Beeraed to be in my chest and back as wellallreadful pain, like as if knives were cutting .me, and fearful pal- pitation of the heart as well. My' daily work in the house looking after my hmsb&nd and the three children a. fffeat trial, what with the pains and t'he Wariness and weak. ness. My general health was very bad, and I was quite knocked up." "Didn't you do anything for it?" "Everything I could think of. I was under medical attendance for six months, taking doctor's medicine regularly all the time, but it did'me no good, so I left it off." "Took no physic?" "Xo!" "What was the result?" "Well, I was just the some, and got no worse and no better, until "Until wha.t?" "One day I made up my mind to try another sort of medicine that was recommended to me. so got a box of Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people." "With what result this time?" "Why,, before I had finished the first box I felt a great alteration." "Then, I may take it for grhnted- that you continued them?" "Only two more boxes, for by the time I had taken three boxes I was quite a different woman. I ought to tell you that I have bought another box, and have got them in the house now." "What induced you. to, try Dr. Williams' pink pills?" "I had often heard- people talking about them. but one day a email book was left here, and I read in it some accounts of cases that seemed to be similar to mine, so decided to try them. "Of course, you know, as I told you when I came in. that I am come from the "Western Mail' Office. We want to publish yenr account, if you don't object?" "Oh yes. I q"'te understand that. and haven't any platece-ion. —' L15533-1

Welsh Athlete's Gossip. A press-box is greatly needed at Trelewis. Young Wyatt Gould has a. good bit of his famous brother's style. Only Coopper appears at Gloucester to-day, though Devon is the champioui county. E. J. Vivyany the -clever Devon Albion centre, is first reserve for the English team. f" Mr. Walter Rees thinks that Wale3 will win to-day. My Neath correjponrtent doesn't. The train arrangements for Gloucester to-day are very bad so far g. Monimmthshire is con- cerned. The excursion traill leaves some places before seven o'clock in .the morning. Monmouthshire feels quite confident that "Buller" Williams will uphold its reputation for good forward play in the international to- day. Dan Harris (Brynmawr) made a favourable impression last Saturday for the League v. Newport. Some thought he was the best for- Llanelly are due at Devonptrt in a short period, and mHst be on their 'best behaviour to stop Albion from winning.' The Albion Club has arranged a great fixture list for next year. and would like to arrange dates with Cardiff and Newport. There was any quantity of dirt at Leicester and Northampton. At least, Bob Jones, the burly Llwynypia forward, never saw so much. George Jones, the old Newport forward, is still playing a good game for Cwmbran. Simmonds (Abercarnj and Barnfield (Crum- lin), both of whom are now play, ng for North- ampton, have been selected to represent the Midland Counties v. Kent. With four only of their first team. Brynmawr boat Blaenavon last Saturday by two tries. The Brynmawr committee had better continue playing second men. Llwynypiaites say that Hellings will be in form to-day. He now balances the scale at 14st. 41b.—something to tackle. Up the Rhondda to-day's "great fight" at Gloucester is generally put down as a win for Taffy by six points. Trelewis has not granted A. Evans's transfer yet to Nelson. Having applied for it this two months, what is the reason? C. Davies, Hereford, l^te of Nelson, has been selected to play in the We!sh international trial match. During the holidays Devonport Albion scored 130 points against twelve, and defeated Leices- ter. Keighley, Rosslyn Park, Mytholmroyd, a.nd Bristol—all in eight days. Albion played very fine. football against Keighley and Leicester, and scored 44 points in the game, each team being whacked by 22 points. For the international fixture the Gloucester Committee have made splendid arrangements, and a large staff of police have been engaged to assist in controlling the big crowd. For exit purposes some of the hoard- ing on both sides of the ground will be re- moved, so that there should be no great crush at the conclusion of the game. Jarman's inclusion in the English team has given great satisfaction in Gloucestershire, but there are many followers of the local club who think that George Romans at full-back and R. Goddard at half both deserve places. Certainly, oh their present form no one in the English team will beat them. If all what the Rhonddaites promise is going to happen at Gloucester to-day, then "Willie Bach," as the colliers know him. will perform wonders. Bachgen bach goreu ar cae (the best man on the field) is their unanimous opinion. Dai Fitzgerald, of Batley, the old Cardiff and Welsh interfiiitional three-quarter, is, as my readers will doubtless remember, under the ban of the Nurthern Union. He has been suspended sine die. An attempt was made this week to re-open the question. but the gfcpferal committee of the union re- fused the application;to consider the terms of his suspension. J. Daniell, considered to be the best forward in the Canibridge pack, who was selected to represent England to-day, but is prevented from playing owing to an injury, was the only international player who figured in the recent inter-varsity match. After the rout of the English scrimmagers at Swansea last season Daniell. who is also the well-known Somerset county cricketer, got a'place against Scotland. Welsh players, under both the Rugby and Association codes, hold the record for length of service in international games. To-day Bancroft makes his twenty-eighth appearance for his country, a performance without a parallel in football annals, whilst James Trainer, of Preston North End,' justly termed the "Prince of Goalkeepers," who was born at Wrexham, and where he learnt his football, has taken part in twenty such Association encounters. He has been chosen to repre- sent 'Wales on no fewer than 33 occasions, but his duty to his club, which had the first call upon his services, would not always per- mit him to respond. The absence of Gwyn Nicholls from the Welsh team gives Swansea the opportunity of providing three-quarters in an inter-country tussle. This in itself is an exceptionally rare occurrence. Cardiff, however, stands alone in that it furnished the whole quartette against Ireland in 1894, a fact which may be pointed to with pardonable pride. The players who did duty formed a magnificent combination which. if equalled, has certainly never been surpassed, and their names are worth producing here:—J. E. Elliott. T. W. Pearson, D. Fitzgerald, and Norman Biggs. It is not often (says a contemporary in relat- ing the story) that an Englishman can take the rise oat of a Welshman in Rugby foot- ball matters, but during the progress of the Cardiff v. Bristol match at Bristol early in the season a Welshman made audible com- ments favourable to the Cardiff players and detrimental to the Bristolians. Mr. J. A. Bash, of Clifton, who has represented England several times, and who overhead the re- marks, ventured to controvert some of them, but was met with the rejoinder: "You don't know anything about the game." "Indeed," replied the internationalist, "it may surprise you to know I have played for England six times." Although picked for England, C. E. Allen, for Lancashire County, and is evidently honour. He is a brother of the Irish inter- national half-back. C. G. Allen, who also plays for Lancashire County, and is evidently desirous of doing duty for the Emerald Isle. He has already taken part in some of the test matchcs, and may be regarded as certain for a place. The following information will bo of interest to South Walians who intend Witnessing the match:— All reserved seat ticket-holders enter at top gate in Worcester-street, opposite the White Hart Inn. Holders of two-shilling stand tickets enter at Worcester-street chief gates and Serlo-road (Dean's Walk). Entrance to field (one shilling) gates adjain- ing Vinegar Works, Worcester-street. The fact appears to have been overlooked in the references that have appeared so far to the death of Mr. Tom Abraham, the son of Mr. Wm. Abraham ("Mabon"), M.P., that the deceased-- was a footballer of more than average merit, and figured at half-back for the Rugby section of the London Welsh team, with which he had been connected since residing in tha Metropolis. Young Abraham also had a good practical knowledge of the "Soccer" game, which he picked up whilst a scholar at Pengam School. It is hoped to realise about £40 by the Bryn- mawr Past v. Present-match. I think Bryn- mawr is the Hrst local club outside first-class football to play a benefit match for the Reservist?. The tickets are going well. and the whole of the immediate neighbourhood are supporting well. Willie Llewellyn's inclusion in the Swansea three-quarter line against the Old Wesley on Saturday, with the object of creating an under- standing between his centre (Danny Rees) and himself which would prove useful in the inter- national contest, evidently commended iteelf to our English friends as an idea worth fol- lowing, and on Monday last G. Gordon Smith and T. F Coopper, the Devon three-quarters, in view of their partnership against Wales, played together for Blackheath in the match with the Fettesian-Lorettonians. Their com- panionship does not appear to have been altogether the success hoped for, and, with the burly Scotsmen in a winning the 'Heathens had to cry low. Smith put in a lot of defensive work, and, although Coopper kicked very cleverly, he was clearly over- shadowed by bis vis-a-vis, George Ward. It should be noted that Smith and Coopper will oppose Rees and Llewellyn, on the field of play at Gloucester: :.r:
