"Of the possible 30,000 Christians who
were martyred there were many, both
Catholic and Protestant, who niisht
have changed their faith and thus saved
their lives. The martyr spirit was
triumphant over the fear of 'death. 'and
many of them did not hesitate to preach
the gospel of the son of God so long as
strength remained with them."
"There is no proof that .the Boer
movement was anti-foreign or anti-Christian
in its origin. The original Borers
were not the gentry or thinking classes
of China, and the others were too igno

Hand to Hand Contest Finally
, Decided in- Favor of the
Defenders Instances of
Heroism Were Numerous
Pretoria, Oct. Q Details of the fight
between the British troops under Col-
ouel Kekcwich and 1,500 Boers under;
j Commandants Delarey and Kemp, near
Selous stiver, have just arrived. The
British camp had evidently been care
fully chosen. It lay in a triangle form
ed by the river on the west, a donga
0n the east and the Zeerust-Rusteinberg
j road' on the south- Tlie donga joins the
river and forms the northern apex of
the triangle. The banks of the river
j ! . . i i ji j.1 .
are aeep ana precipitous ana me couu-
j try around is bushy. During the. night
the Boers crept noiselessly up the iver
1 banks, and making a debouchment-of
; the donga, obtained -partial . command
of the apex of the triangle and the
western side.
A patrol of yeomanry which was sent
to. reconnoiter to the west crossed the
drift, but were driven " back by the
Foers, who were between them and
j the British camp. After going through
1 the yeomanry the Boers attacked the
pickets who were holding the river.
I A British of ficer named. .Chase - was the
first man killed. The men made a he-
j roic and costly resistance. The next
! picket to the: south was defended by
--. ' . . . m -w
the apex of the river and donga, held
and fought magnificently. All the men
of the Scottish Horse, the Derbyshires,
yeomanry and artillery . unhesitatingly
sprang into action, formed a firing line
facing, west, andehecked the Boers who
were nearly into the British lines.
A portion of the Derbyshires was then
sent from the south to repel an attack"
which was anticipated from the east.
They wheeled right around the- camp
and arrived without much opposition
northeast of the point where the donga
joins the river. Hem they formed in
line with the Scottish Horse and thus
outflanked the Boer left.. Then the
Scottish Horse and. the Derbyshires
j charged the river and donga with fised
I tiovnrmtc anA with n n - irresistible rush
cleared the Boers out.
Meanwhile the remaining Derbyshires
on the British left and . the yeomanry
made a similar rush on the river by the
: drift and sent the Boers fleeing to tho
hills west of the river. At the begin
sning of the fight the firing was so hot
that it was impossible to use the Brit-

PATRIOTISM PRAISED
Paying the Army - Not the
Only Consideration in the
Candidate's Fitness for
President v. .
Havana, Oct. 9. In vie-w of the fact
that "-opponent of Senor Estrada Palma
are using his letter explaining his posi
tion to ' the Cuban people as- a weapon
against him dn his candidature' for the
presidency. General Maximo Gomez has
published a lette in his defense. The
point- at issue is the payment of the
revolutionary .' araiy, Senor Palma having
spoken of the' need to reduce the rate
!of payments and to revise the army'
j lists. General Gomez says that Senor
Palma deals with the matter with a
lofty spirit of patriotism and make 'all
Vho took part in the war inclined to

forego the receipt of the few cents com-
ing to them. He adds that those who
consider that the candidateor the presi-
most money and in the speediest manner.
without regard to the funds at. the dis
posal of the country, will also be the
most tacceptable to the soldiers who for
get, that these might feel offended by
the low estimate implied. Let the nation,
General' Gomez says, pay the army as
best it can, but not before it is really
able to, do so.
The demontrations organized by the
economic societies throughout the isand
to petition the United States for conces
sions for Cuban products have caused
unceasing comment. The anti-revolutionary
papers claim that this movement
had to be organized by the industrial
and moneyed class in self defense, as
after three years mastery of the field
the political', parties have done nothing
but scramble for office and clamor for
a republic. They also ay that the po

to have the wind taken out of their,
