Railway Smash at Cardigan. TRUCKS RUNNING WILD FOR I SIX MILES. About midday on Saturday a tremendous smash occurred at the Cardigan Kail way Station, causing great destruction of property and the narrow escape of a number of persons. A morniug luggage train was on its usual journey to Whitland with trucks laden with bricks, empties, &c., and having pro- ceeded to a spot on the line between Cilgerran and Bonratb, where there is a considerable elevation, it became necessary to divide the train to enable it to ascend the iucline, the freight being too heavy. The engine proceeded wi, h the forward half, and as no brakes had been put d-nvu un the other half—a pure oversight it ran back at a fast rate, the declivity in the line continually adding velocity to its wild career. The runaway trucks entered Cardigan Station at a terrific speed, and dashed into a siding smashing seven of the trucks into mutch wood and piling others in a heap. A man named Philip Jones, a labourer, who was emptying a truck of culm, narrowly escaped being killed. The truck he was unloading was smashed to splinters, and he was rendered unconscious for a while. lie sustained broken ribs and inj ury to the face and arm. The trucks and their contents were strewn about the line in all directions, and the occurrence created quite a panic in the place. There were some 200 persons on the platform waiting the incoming of a corpse by train from Northampton but luckily the station- master, some three minutes before the runaways reached the station, and received au intimation by wire from Cilgerran, and succeeded in turning the waggons into a siding, and gave warning to those on the platform to clear out of the way of danger. The accident would otherwise, it is stated, have ( involved the station and platform.

Trinity College of Music. DISTRIBUTION OF CERTIFICATES. SPEECH BY DR. TURPIN. On Wednesday evening there was a meeting in the Temperance Hall, to distribute the certifi- cates to the successful candidates in the Trinity College local examinations held in May. There was a large attendance, and the platform had been decorated with plants and ferns. Arch- deacon Hilbers presided, and there were also pre- sent Dr E H Turpin, of London, Dr F R Green- ish, Revs C F Harrison and C M Phelps, Messrs W Davies George and James Thomas, Mrs John James, Mrs Greenish, Miss Ada Thomas and Miss W ookey. The proceedings opened with a pianoforte solo by Miss Mabel Violet Oliver. The Chairman said although he was chairman of the committee and had been asked to distribute the certificates, he knew nothing about music, but he could say he was intensely interested in their young people as regards music, and science and art. It was for them to see that they^had an opportunity of developing their talents. Music had a great influence upon human character. They were all very proud of Wales becase of its distinction as the very best country for vocal music, and a Welsh choir was going to sing this week before the Queen, (applause.) As a boy lie wished most earnestly that he had had the oppor- tunity of learning music. It was a great pleasure he had lost. He was only too glad that they in this centre had the opportunity of bringing out such talents as they possessed in that way, and that they had a very qualified staff of teachers in the centre. Music required not only aptitude but perseverance and hard work. The Trinity College undertook to see how far the teaching was good, and what progress had been made. He was told their percentages of passes was very high, and for that they could congratulate every- body concerned. (applause.) He then dis- tributed the certificates to those whose names are giren below, hoping they would feel encouraged to make further progress, and obtain higher honours still.

PASS SECTION.—Rosa Beynon, 92; Martha Muriel Philipps, 74. Pianoforte Solo, Miss Gertrude Elizabeth Rey- nolds. The Chairman introduced Dr. Turpin, saying they were exceedingly delighted to have him with them, and were anxious to hear what he had to say. (applause.) Dr. Turpin said when some little time ago he heard that they were about to arrange for that meeting he said he should very much like te be present. He knew that they were doing very earnest good work, and that they had an ad- mirable staff of teachers. He had been permitted to taste that good work in the performance he had just heard. Trinity College commenced that work nearly 30 years ago in obedience to a sort of national call, as the nation had determined that musical culture should be proceeded with on a very sound basis, and the difference in the character of musical teaching in England during the last 40 years was one of the most remarkable growths that he could point to under any circumstances. They could now show a much larger number of accomplished pianoforte players than Germany, taking population by population. That had been brought about by the teachers of the present generation and local examinations. The author- ities had taken care to encourage the culture of the finest classical music, and Trinity College had now centres not only in the United Kingdom but in the Colonies, and even in that troubled country the Transvaal. President Kruger, with charac- teristic shrewdness, said Yes, we will welcome you until we get something better of our own." (laughter.) They were waiting until they got something better. Their work was permeated with an earnest endeavour to be useful, and he hoped some of the young people present would make their way to London, or gain exhibitions and receive education in their own town. Last year they had the largest amount of work they ever had, and examined 18,00C candidates, (ap- plause.) Now permit him to say something to his young triends. He knew how very anxious they must be in the work of preparation for ex- amination. He could imagine that some day or other examinations would be conducted on a principle that would not recognise the word fail- ure. Students should al ways be credited with what they had done and those marks given to them when they tried again. Shakespeare insisted that high failure was better than a low success, and he meant that they gained more by a failure than if they just scraped through an examination for a reward. The real reward was the consciousness of progress. Now let him give them a little prac- tical advice. The first thing was to make up their minds to do well. Take care that they had integrity of purpose take care to be quite care- ful about their practice; don't do it in a clever and yet perfunctory manner, because in time they would deaden the sense of touch in their fingers. All their developments should always be mental as well as physical. They should try and under- stand music and its paralellisms with all the other arts. It was a wonderful thing that all the arts were governed by the same laws. That was tho reason why some great men were able to follow a number of arts with great success. Let him give them a comparison between music and speech. Vv hen they learned a language they had to begin with letters, then words, and pass on to statements and narratives. It was just the same with music. The first thing they began with was notes, then they put notes together to make melody. They ought to read chords just the same as they read words. Words had their meanings enforced by accent, and their feeling by the way they were pronounced. It was the same with music. Accent in music gave character and incisive vigour to all the sounds to which they applied. In music they had to do with measured time, and a good speaker had a form of measured time, but in music it was most beauti- fully and correctly performed. In language they read sentences arranged to convey a meaning, and they were marked by signs of punctuation. Just the same tiling occurred in music. They should regard their studies in languages and music as resting entirely upon the same intellectual basis. A literary worker created individualities a musician created tunes; he then created plurali- ties and a musician regarded those as counter- point in music. Then there were surrounding circumstances in a story, and so there was in music, which was called harmony. There were statements in language, and in music they meant by that rhythm. Then they had narrative in music, and so they had in literature. Their music ought to be as interesting to them as read- ing a story book. A piece of music was a story, a picture, a poem. He then urged them to be practical about their music, and be careful about keeping time. Music was given to us to strengthen our minds and uplift our souls, (ap- plau- ) Violin Solo Miss Williams. Dr. F. H. Greenish proposed a vote ot thanks to Dr. Turpin for his able, interesting, and in- structive address. He had come all the way frow London to be present, and was going back to-morrow. With regard to the centre he would like to remind Dr. Turpin that in their early days as a centre of Trinity College they won two national prizes, and that out of 55 candidates this year 59 were successful. They hoped thot next year they would have a larger number of entries, and pass all. The examiners of the College were some of the best musical men in England, who did their work without fear, favour, or affection, and all the certificates awarded were well deserved, (applause). Mr James Thomas, as one of the veterans in the small musical world of Haverfordwest, had the greatest possible pleasure in seconding the vote of than ks. It was exceedingly gratifying to every- one concerned to see how many certificates had been won, and he was much struck with tho high percentages. When lie was a boy he should have been delighted to have had such advantages. He hoped they would ponder well the very useful and excellent advice given by Dr. Turpin. (Ap- plause). Tho resolution having been heartily accorded, Pr. Turpin in acknowledgement said the even- Illl had been a very pleasant experience, as he had some foreknowledge of the good taste and {u!e musical knowledge of that centre. He re- joiceit to think they had carried off two national prizes, and he could tell them their proportion ot passes iiad not been beaten in any place in Kug- land. (applause). They all rejoiced in their great progress and success, and he trusted lie should be permitted to come to see them again. He had now to propose a vote of thanks to their local secretary (.u.i.<s W ookey) for the admirable wav in which e\ crytmng had been managed, (applause), hverytmmg depended upon a good secretary, and she had displayed great watchful- ness and care in a difficult task. The Chairman seconded with plesuare, endora- ing the previous remarks of Dr. Turpin, as re- gards Miss Wookey, who had been of great assist ance to the Committee. The resolution was then put and carried, Miss Wookey acknowledging the vote. Mr James Thomas moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which Dr. Turpin seconded with the remark that he laboured tor the people in many ways. (hear hear). The motion having been carried, the Chairman trusted everyone present would make use of the advantages the centre offered. He was pleased with this vote, thanked them for their presence, and wished them good-night.

FIRST BATTLE ON THE WEST. "COMPLETE VICTOKY." BOERS UTTERLY ROUTED. DRIVEN FROM RIDGE TO RIDGE BRITISH LOSSES. 58 KILLED, 150 WOUNDED. Lord Methuen has struck his first blow at the Boers on the western frontier. At dawn on Thurs- day morning, the enemy, who had occupied a strong position at Belmont, were attacked in force and signally defeated. General Methuen's dispatch, which was received at the War Office late on Thurs- day night, describes our victory as complete. The Boers fought with courage and skill, but were driven from ridge to ridge at the point of the bayonet by the British infantry, for whose fine bearing the General Commanding has a special word of praise. Forty prisoners fell into our hands, and cows, horses, and camp equipment were captured. Many of the Boer dead were left on the field, many others being carried off by the enemy with their wounded. Our casualties are as follows': All ranks included we have lost 58 killed, 150 wounded, and 18 missing. Of this number, the officers form again a very large proportion, three being killed, and 21 wounded. The latter figure includes General Fetherstonhaugh, of the staff, who is severely wounded in the shoulder. Belmont, November 21th, 1.20 p.m.—The moral effect of the Belmont victory has been immense, in- asmuch as the enemy boasted that they could hold the position on the hills against all the soldiers England could send. I have had several conversa- tions with the Boer prisoners, a number of whom have talked to me freely. They all admit their loss was considerable, aud they pay a warm tribute to the bravery of our troops, who they say not only came up the slopes but climbed the steep sides of some kopjes held by the Boers in the face of the murderous fire with as much nonchalance as if on parade. For a while the Boer fire was teriffic and sustained, and the British soldiers dropped in every direction. As the troops pressed onward and up- wards the Boer fire became widely inaccurate and our shell fire completely demoralised the enemy. The Boer position was a series of hills and kopjes running parallel to the railway and about two miles distant. At the rear of their main position there were two other lines on smaller hills, also parallel to the railway. Driven from one line the enemy re- treated on the other, but on finally quitting the cover of the hills they fled across the plains to Free State territory. The action commenced just before daybreak, and the British advance, thoroughly well timed, began from the west of the railway line, three miles from the enemy. A field battery of the light guns of the Naval Brigade on the left opened a heavy fire, under the cover of which the infantry advanced to the attack. Our left comprised the 1st Northumberlauds, the 2nd Northamptons, and the 2ud King's Own Yorkshire. The 1st Battalion of the Scots Guards—Methuen's own old regiment— was the first to engage the enemy in semi-darkness, so that it was impossible to distinguish the khaki- clothed firing line. The Boers, with unexpected discipline and self-restraint, reserved their fire until the left of our line was within 200 yards of their marksmen and then came a perfect hail of bullets dropping everywhere and anyhow. The seasoned Tyne lads, swinging round the kopje, turned the Boer flank, and simultaneously with loud shouts the Scots Guards rushed up the steep slope in front of them. Retreating before the Northumberland Fnssiliers, the Boers found themselves exposed to a galling fire from the Scots Guards, but, retiring obliquely, they gained the second line of their hills. The tide of battle now rolled towards the north, and along the front of our line. The 3rd Battalion of Grenadier Guards and all the centre of the Guards Brigade became hotly engaged with the enemy. Although having absolutely no cover our men pressed, the rising sun shiuing directly in their faces, so that it was difficult to see the tops of the hills which were lined by Boers. Still, with steady stride which never wavered, the 3rd Grenadiers pressed forward with the utmost coolness, many of the men smoking even where the Boer fire was the hottest Thus again the kopje was captured, and thus the enemy driven once more out of his position retreating as above described to eastward. Others made for the hills on the left of the Boer position, towards which the 1st and 2nd Coldstream Guards advanced. The Coldstreams were on the extreme right of our line. On our right front towering above its fellows was an immense kopje, the sides and the top covered with huge iron stone boulders. To the left of the Coldstreamers was a similar kopje. Both of these were swarmed with Boers, who maintained a very hot fire. Right gallantly the Coldstreamers swept forward, and there were many casualties here, but slowly, yet surely the fighting line gained ground. Presently it was right under the slopes of both hills, and the Coldstreams lookiug upward could see the depressed muzzles of the Boer rifles, which discharged a perfect hail of lead. For the moment the line halted, and then the order to charge rang out, and with a cheer the two battalions of Coldstreams rushed up the sides of kopjes without even waiting to fix bayonets. The moment the enemy heard the order to charge they waited no longer, and scampered out of cover and away towards a low range of hills. The two battalions of Coidstreams reached the summit in time to pour several volleys into the retreating enemy. The Boer marksmanship was wretched, otherwise not a single Guardsman out of the two battalions could have lived to reach the top. I found myself advancing with the Coldstreamers, and as we gained the top of the bigger hill we almost fell over the enemy's rifle pits which dotted the hillside. The earth was very dry, but the breastwork of ironstone boulders was admirable for the purpose to which it was put. This kopje, considered the key of the position, was deemed to be impregnable, and the main Boer camp was here. The Boer commander fled leaving all his personal belongings in his tent. It is asserted that the enemy, after the brilliant attack of the Northumberlauds, hoisted the white flag, and then fired upon our men as they exposed themselves. Our wounded men are doing well. After the action under a flag of truce a party of the enemy came into the British lines to look after the wounded. Lieut. Blundell, of the Grenadier Guards, died from wounds received when treacherously shot by a wounded Boer. It may be generally said that the enemy's artillery was ineffective. In the fight dum-dum bullets were used by the Boers, as the British have a number of dum-dum wounds. Lord Methuen has sent a communication to the Boer commander, saying that, Acting quite fairly with you, I decline to take Kimberley men who know the country, because their parole cannot be accepted. I must ask you to warn your wounded not to shoot our officers. I must warn you not to use dum-dum bullets or use the flag of truce treacherously. Such action is cowardly in the extreme, and I cannot countenance it." All the wounded have been treated to-day, and those badly inj ured have been sent to Cape Town, including 20 of the enemy, while others have been seut to the Orange River camp. Mr E. P. Knight, of the Morning Post, was injured by a dum-dum bullet. GALLANT INFANTRY. I Belmont, Friday.—The features of the fight at Kaffirs Kop were the magnificent dash of our infantry and their constant cheering as they pressed forward undauntedly to attack in face of terrific volleys. The Scots Guards went into action with their drums and pipes playing, and mounted the second line of kopjes to the inspiriting strains of a stirring charge. This was the enemy's strongest position, and it was here that our slaughter was the greatest The Boers had constructed strong shelters of boulders, and themselves snugly screened from our rifle fire, swept the advancing ranks with a deadly stream of bullets. The enemy stuck to their position until the last. One Boer was found in a kneeling position quite dead. Lieutenant Fryer, of the Grenadiers, was killed while creeping along I the bed of a stream in the enemy's rear. He en- countered a heavy cross fire and fell- Many of our men displayed conspicuous bravery in helping the wounded. The enemy's ammunition laager was blown up, and their guns were destroyed. A Boer doctor arrived here yesterday and asked for a medical outfit. Among the prisoners is a German named Hellenbold. Mr Knight, special corres- pondent of the J[un!Ρ¡U Post, was wounded in the arm. Bitter complaints have been received of the misuse of the white flag by the enemy. MORE BOER TREACHERY. Belmont, FridilY. The prisoners confirm the j statement that 20 Boers in each section were de- tained to aim at officers. They were instructed to fire, as at a target, just below the waving shinning swords. The Hoers had wrecked the telegraph apparatus at Belmont, but had not destroyed any private property. HOW OFFICERS WERE SAVED. Orange River, Friday.—1Thirt-six Boer prisoners taken at the Battle of Belmont arrived here early this morning. They were kindly received by the troops ill camp, who brought them food alld tobacco. Among the prisoners was Field Cornet Elborne, who said that he had been iu action before Kimberly, but never bad such a warm time as at Belmont. lie described our artillery fire as terrific. ENTHUSIASM AT CAPE TOWN. Cape Town. Friday.—News of the British victory at Belmont has been received here with the greatest enthusiasm. People can talk of nothing else but the wouderful pluck and magnificent dash of the Guards. It is expected that the relief of Kimberly will soon follow. BOERS AND THE BAYONET CHARGE. Orange River, Saturday.—The wounded here are progressing favourably. One wounded Boer who was asked what he thought of our bayonet charge answered in a surprised tone, Almighty! do you suppose I waited for that P

KHALIFA KILLED. HIS FORCES ROUTED. 9,000 PRISONERS. OSMAN DIGNA AGAIN ESCAPES. (Exchange Company's Telegram.) Cairo, Saturday, 11.40.-The Khalifa has been killed and his entire army has been defeated. A Reuter's Cairo telegram says:—Col. Wingate has attacked and routed the Khalifa, the latter being killed. The War Office confirms the news. ENEMY UTTERLY ROUTED. The Press Association says the War Office on Saturday received the following telegram from the Sirdar, Lord Kitchener:- Khartoum, 7.35 a.m., Saturday.—Wingate's column came up with the Khalifa, and defeated him utterly after sharp fighting. Khalifa killed. All the principal Emirs either killed or prisoners except Osman Digma, who escaped. Whole camp taken. Thousauds surrend- ered. Large number of women and children, cattle, &c. Action quite decisive, Our casualties very slight; three men killed, twelve wounded." MESSAGE FROM THE SIRDAR. Cairo, Saturday.—Lord Cromer has received the following from the Sirdar:—"Colonel Wingate's force came up with the Khalifa's force seven miles south-east of Gedid and attacked it. After a sharp fight he took the position. The Khalifa, who was surrounded by a bodyguard of Emirs, was killed and all the principal Emirs were also killed or taken except Osman Digna, who escaped. "The whole camp women, cattle, &c. were taken, and thousands of prisoners, most of whom gave themselves up. The force is marching back to the river. Our loss is light. Will wire you further details later. "The Soudan may now be declared open.— (Signed) Sirdar. DETAILS OF THE FIGHT. Cairo, Saturday, 3 p m.-Lord Cromer has received the following further despatch from Lord Kitchener:- Further details from Colonel Wingate— A reconnoitring party of Arab horsemen defi- nitely located the Khalifa's position at Ohdebrikat. Our force marched to Gedil by moonlight, having frequently to cut its way through the thick bush, and arrived before dawn on rising ground over- looking the Khalifa's camp, the exact position of which was concealed by trees. He heard their drums and horns before dawn, and at 5.15 the Dervishes advanced to the attack. Our guns now opened fire, and the action became general. Half an hour later the whole line was advanced and swept through the Dervish position for upwards of two miles till their camp was reached. The mounted troops under Lieutenant-Colonel Mahon pursued and captured most of the fugitives. The Khalifa with most of his men, Emirs and bodyguard, made a gallant stand. "The Khalifa was killed, and with him the following- Khalifa Ali Wadhelu, the Emirs Ahmed Fedil, Enoussi Ahmed, and Haroun Mohamed, the two last being the Khalifa's brothers, Sadik, the Mahdi's son, Amed Ali Abugekka, Beshir Wardarab Abib, Osman Zenaba Abdulbaki, and Abdulwekel Mo- hamed. The following Emirs wounded and prisoners are with us:—Sheikh, Eldin, Wadmokheir, Junis Degheine, and many others in fact, every impor- tant man except Osman Digna was killed, wounded, or taken prisoner. Osman Digna left directly the firing began and is probably concealed somewhere in the vicinity. I hope eventually to get him. We took the entire Dervish camp, including 1,000 men, women, children, cattle, &c. All who were not killed surrendered, and the pursuit is now over. "I cannot speak too highly of the excellent be- haviour of the troops and their endurance during the long and tedious marches preceediug the final action. < From four in the morning of the 21st instant until five in the morning of the 24th they marched 60 miles and fought two decisive actions. Our casualties were very few, only three men being killed and 12 wounded." 9,000 PRISONERS. Cairo, Sunday.—Col. Wingate captured 9,000 men, women, and children. Osman Digna is still at large. NATIVES REJOICE. Suakin, Saturday.—The natives here are jubilant at the news of the death of the Khalifa and the crushing defeat of his army. To-morrow will be observed as a general holiday in honour of the occasion.
