FROM THE GRAVE.
Letter of Wauchope Lays Blame
of Magersfontein Defeat
on Methuen.
ALL LONDON EXPECTANT.
The War Office Will Give Out no
News Regarding BuIIer's Move
m en t Battle Supposed -t be
Going on. Boers Lose Heavily
in Trying to Take a Hill.
By Telegraph to the News.
LIVERPOOL, Jan. 16. A profound
sensation has been caused here by the
publication in the Post of what is de
dared to be a letter written by Gen
eral Wauchope, remonstrating against
the plan of battle which compelled him
to lead the "Black Watch" into the
battle of Magersfontein, a battle which
lie disapproved, over the plans of which
lie and General Methuen disagreed. It
comes like an accusing voice from the
srave..
" The letter follows: "This is the last
letter I shall ever write. I have been
ordered to perform an impossible task
and have vainly remonstrated, but
must obey or surrender my sword."
The Post asserts that the War Ofilce
is in possession of the 'letter, and that.
a a consequence, Methuen will soon be
suspended from command at Modder
River.
THE BATTLE IN PROGRESS.
LONDON, Jan 16. All England: is
silent, awaiting the news from Buller.
The War Office is- absolutely silent as
to Us movements. The belief prevails
that a fcavtle 'has 'been fought and is
still raging at three paints en the Tu
gela river, Potgeiter's1 Drift, Oolenso
ini by Warren's division.. Dispatches
continue to show that the general
feeling at Pieser, Maritzburg and Est
court is that Ladysmith will be relieved
hcrrly. . "
BuIIer's battle apparently' began: at
Potgeiter's E:rift three days ago.

Uncle Sam Had 1200 Coffins Left
Over at Santiago. r
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Jan. 16. The
bodies of seventy-five American sol
diers in metallic coffins -were taken,
north yesterday on the transport "Mc
Clelland." These bodies were left over
when the other soldiers were disinter
ed last January. It was evidently ex
pected by "the authorities that more
soldiers would die in the hospitals than
actually did die, for the quartermaster
has over twelve hundred coffins on
hand. The next transport will take a
thousand of these north. Some will be
shipped to the Philippines. Among the
lot is one coffin containing the body of
a soldier killed at El Caney. This cof
fin is not marked and it will be neces
sary to open the unused coffins to de
termine which one contains the body.

jVlEA T INSPECTOR
Judge Battle Urges the Impor
tance of an Inspector.
Imposing sentence on Dr. A. M. Fitz
and P. C. Mclntyre, this morning,
Judge Battle called attention to an im
portant piece of evidence in the case
as bearing on public interests.
While there was evidence on the part
of the defence that the hogs, charged
to have been allowed to cruelly freeze
and starve, not challenged, yet there
same time, were sold to the public,
bought of same man the tortured hogs
were purchased of and at about the
same time were sold to the public.
This, of course, imperiled the health
of the community, and might have had
far-reaching and disastrous consequen
ces. Such menaces to health might be
reached by the appointment of a public
meat inspector, such as they have in
other cities, which is given to them
under the board of police regulations.
One ounce of preventative is always
worth tons of cure.
Dr. Fitz was fined $25, and Mclntyre
$50.

2 BARNS IN FLAMES.
Mr. Leon Potts' Barn and That
of a Negro Named Ray
Burned in Berryhill.
INCENDIARIES AT WORK.
Ray Lost his Live Stock and all
of His Implements and Wagon
. fir. Potts Saved His Horses
but Lost all Forage and Farm
ing Implements.
The barn-burner got in his mid-night
work in Berryhill last night.
Mr. Leon Potts, of this city, has a
place five miles from town, on the
Yorkville road. A colored man named
Eugene Chambers lives on the place,
and opposite him, across the road is
Bob Ray, another negro.
This morning at 2 o'clock Ray was
aroused by the reflection of a light in
his house, and jumping up discovered
that his barn was in flames. He raised
the alarm and Chambers and all the
other negroes "on both places congre
gated at Ray's to try and save his live
stock, implements and forage in the
barn. They fought the fire manfully,
but to no purpose, the flames having
almost enveloped the building before
the fire was discovered. Ray lost his
horse, buggy, wagon, fodder and imple
ments. He was not insured. . The loss
represents to him about $250. His mule
was so badly burned that it will die.
While he and the other negroes were
watching the progress of the flames,
some one cried out: "Lord, look a'yon
der. Mr. Potts' barn is on fire." The
crowd ran as fast as possible across
the road to Mr. 'Potts place, and to
the bam- The flames had good bead
way, but the' crowd managed to save
the-horses." 5 The forage and farming
implements' were all burned. Mr. Potts'
loss "was in the neighborhood of $200.
The fire was incendiary. A. convinc
ing proof of this was, that a horse
which belonged to another negro in
the neighborhood, and which was in
Ray's -barn, - had been leads out of the
barn and turned loose arid Ray's horse
and mule shut up in the stable.
The people of the neighborhood are
very much excited over the affair. They
are on the 'hunt for therguilty party,
