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.

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 litical arties , do ' not represent the wealth of the dsland nor-the people of; standing.
