Special to Journal. , v
' iodDOM, Jany. fl DlBpatchBB received
hero Indicated that the aitach of General
French on tire Boers at Coleaburg was
dereloplng lntd a general engagement,5
The fighting around Ooleaburg was
resumed early this morning. The British
artillery opened to the weitward-of the
town and the earlier dispatches (aid that
the lighting was Inconclusive.
The Boer unexpectedly attacked the
British left but were repulsed, v. The
attackers numbered a thousand men. The
EnnlsklUen Dragoons' cut their;- Way
through the Boers, who were forced to
retreat by a heavy artillery and musketry
Are. '--.. i . . i.
The British loss Is said to have been
light, but tho Boers are reported to have
lost 100, including 80 prisoners taken by
the mounted Infantry. , - ,
Lieutenant Gibson, of the Ennlskill-
eoe, was among the British wounded.
liajoi Harvey, of the Tenth Hussars,
was killed and Major-Alexander was
wounded while the Hussars were pur
suing the retreating Bpers. - . -
A late speciaf from Oapfl Town says
that it Is reported that General French
has entered Coleebury and that, It is now
occupied by tbe British. 'k
According to a .dispatch from -Cape
fown, General Methuen is building, a
railroad around the ponltlons held by the
uuers at jauoraiuuiuiUi r
The' Boers have completely : retired
front the neighborhood f Molteno,'bul
General Gataore does not appear to bare
pursued . 'them,, as:, the reinforcements
from Sterkstroom hurt returned there.
Letters just reoeired say that there is
not doubt that a Boer sympathizer was
on board the Donatlar Castle on which
Lord Boberta tailed for Cape Town, and
that he was readyio attempt to assassi
nate the Commander-in-Chief. Jtflg no
tions in lounging around the Ueneral's
cabins led to an Investigation and the
man was placed In Irons after a revolver
was taken from" him. Ue was turned
over to the authorities at Cane Tawn. i
There Is a rumor at .Cape Town that
Colonel Baden-Fowell has defeated the
Boers at Hafeklng. The rumor, tt U be
Ueved, refers to a fight which occurred
after Baden-Powell's recent reverse, in
which, according to British tccouoU, he
lost it men out of 80 who were engaged,
London, January 4 At an early hour
this morning there are -unconfirmed
rumors here that General Buller has as
suuell lue e'Herls!vi15 Kalal and' has
already started fighting, having been
heavily shelling the entrenchments at
Cjlenao. . " -
It is known that this move is a neces.
sary preliminary to at attack, u: -1
Within a- few days 7.000 additional
Urllish troops will bo In Natal, but
whether it Is possible to wait for thum
or whether Buller's hands may be forced
by the Increasing difficulties at Lady
smith it Is impossible Id say,; - ,.,-
Extended reconnaissances have re
ceutly been the order of the day on the
Tuxda Wdiacover the presence and
position of Boor batteries. .. Wherever
there are indications of Boer strength
the naval guns are brought into play,

' -The Sending of Troops
s toLumberton. -Raletou,
Jan. 0 Ex-Judge Avory, of
the Supreme Court, says the Republicans
have made a concerted plan to apply to
some- partisan Republican : Superior
Court Judge for an order restraining the
8tate Election. Board from enforcing
the electioa law enacted by the last Leg
islature; that no Superior Court ..Judge
has power in advance of the decision by :
the Supreme Court as to the conetlto-
t'onality of any statue to a8auu.ejhat it i
Invalid; that the Supreme Court Judge
eannot grant an Injunction, and-that if
the committee finds a judge ..who will
grant such an order Mr. Avery will urge
that be be impeached by the Legislature
next June and made an example of. This
causes a flurry among the Republican
plotters. ' 1 v
The1 trial of Attorney Marshall, of
Wilmington, fof . counterfeiting j was
made quite sensational by the testimony
of Penitentiary Superintendent Day that
Nicholas Polite, the convict, told him
Marshall had nothing to do with coun
terfeiting; Day swore he-sent for Politz
inconsequence of Intimations he had
that undue Influences were being brought
to bear on htm to make him swear -to a
He in the court against ' Marshall, and
told him to tell the truth. ' v
There was evidence by a negro, who
Swept out Polity's room aa to counter
feiting material there in 1897. also as to
the sending - out of . m6noy by Polite
which-merchants refused to accept
Theodore Parsley,, a Greek, aald he did
tell some people lately he knew nothing
about Marshall's guilt. Darkley said, he
told this to get; rid. of them, as he was
not on oath. l-This conflicted with .his
testimony last nM; XPollts swore he
never told Day any thing about Marshall.
The government made anjjtttempt to
attack the personal character qf Charles
Schrlbben, chief of the Wilmington de-
oartment. , He said the statements were
lies.' A convict named Hawkins swore
Pollti told him Marshall was not guilty,
Hawkins wrote Marsball-this and told
PoIIU he olight not to 'swear falsely,
Day's evidence was the Vlow of tue day
to the contention of the government an J
it made the disirlot .attorney very ner
vous, as well it might. - Many more wit
nesses for Marshall arrived. .'
