Laager Terrible Bombardment.
London, Feb. 22, 4:17 p. m. The war
office has received from Lord Roberts
the following message, dated Paarde
berg, Wednesday, February 21:
"Yesterday afternoon I was eatlsflea,
by a careful reconnaissance in force of
the enemy's position, that I could not
assault it without very heavy ' loss,
which I was most anxious to avoid.
"Accordingly I decided to bombard
him with artillery and turn my atten
tion to the enemy's reinforcements. The
result was most satisfactory.
"The Boers were driven off in all di
rections, losing a good many killed and
wounded and about fifty prisoners, who
say they arrived from Ladysmith two
days ago by railroad. They also say It
was out artillery fire which caused them
to abandon the kopje they were occupy
ing.
"Our loss was two officers Captain
Campbell of the Ninth Lancers, and
Lieutenant Houston, of the artillery,
and four men, all slightly wounded."
GENERAL BOTHA BE9VTEN.
Was Attempting to Relieve Cronje.
London, Feb. 22, 3:30 p. m. A special
despatch from Paardeberg, dated yes
terday, says: "Commandant Botha
has been attempting to relieve General
Cronje. There has been sever fighting.
General Botha's force is scattered, with
heavy losses."
CAPTURE OF A BOER KOPJE.
Paardeberg Wednesday, Feb. 21, 6:20
p. m. A Boer kepje has been captured,
with fifty prisoners. General Cronje'a
position is unchanged.
SOME FIERCE FIGHTING.
Indecisive and Prolonged Battle
Boers Admit Loss of Eight Hundred,
Paardeberg Drift, Orange Free State,
Tuesday, Feb. 20, via the Modder River,
Wednesday,' Feb. 21. One of the costll
est actions of the war occurred at
Paardeberg Drift Sunday, February
18. General Kelly-Kenny, in his pur
suit of General Cronje, caught his rear
guard at Klip Drift and followed the
burghers to the Boers' laager at Koo
doosrand.
The drift action began at daybreak,
the mounted infantry driving the Boer
rear guard up the river toward the
main body, while another body of
mounted infantry maneuvered on the
right front and flank of the Boers.
The British main body advanced ' to
outflank the Boers' laager on the north
bank of the river. General Kelly-Ken
ny having seized two drifts found the
Boers strongly Inclosed and ordered an
attack, with the Highland brigade on
the left and General Knox's brigade on
the center and right, while General
Smith-Dorrien's brigade crossed the
river and advanced along the horth
bank. On both the north and south
banks the ground is level and the ad
vance across this was deadly, and the
British losses were heavy.
The battle was an exact replica of the
Modder River. The soldiers were under
fire all day long and all the fighting
had no definite result, as the Boers'
laager was well barricaded and they
remain therein.
The British guns shelled the laager
vigorously, and the Boers confessed to
a loss of over 800 men. .
The terrific shelling was resumed
Monday, when General Cronje asked
for an armistice.
The shelling was continued Tuesday,
over fifty guns pouring lead into the
Boer camp.
GENERAL BTJLLER'S ADVANCE.
Ladysmith Likely to Be Reached
in a
Few Days.
Chieveley Camp, Natal, Feb. 21. The
steady progress of the relief column is
uninterrupted. The, Boers Tuesday were
forced from their last position south of
the Tugela, resulting in the evacuation
of Colenso, which was promptly reoccu
pied by the Dublin Fusiliers and Thor
neycroft's Horse. A Transvaal flag was
captured, - as was a handkerchief in
scribed with General Botha's name.
This is treasured as a great trophy.
The Boers heavily shelled Hlangwana
Hill and Colenso Wednesday, and the
British advanced infantry was subject
ed to a severe musketry fire, but they
had excellent cover and the casualties
wero few. The Boers held the railroad
running from Colenso to Bulwana. The
British continue to discover large quan
tities of ammunition. The Boers are
well supplied with food and a quantity
of provisions was left behind. It is
expected that further resistance will be
half-hearted, and that Ladysmith will
be reached in a few days
JOUBERT SAID TO BE ILL.
London, Feb. 22.. Boer reports say
General Joubert's nerves are unstrung
and that he no longer exercises tn"e
chiei command.
A despatch from Sterksprult, dated
yesterday, says: "The prominent rebels
in this district intend to surrender, and
Stormberg rebels will shortly lay down
their guns."
BOMBARDING LADYSMITH.

THE SINGLE TAX CLUB.
Addressed by William Trueman
and
Other Members.
The New Haven Single tax club met
in room 15 Insurance building. W.
Trueman, the president of the club, de
livered an address on "Dr. McGlynn
and the Single Tax," and said in part:
The Rev. Dr. Burns of Toronto
In a speech recently said that
"Christianity to-day was valuable only
as it could be demonstrated." Dr. Ed
ward McGlynn was one of the greatest
among the teachers of religion having
the courage of his convictions, daring1
to speak what he knew to be truth, and
fearless of criticism. It would be dif
ficult to name a time in history when,
humanity had no prophets. As onei
completes his labors another rises to
carry on the work, and this man did his
part nobly. Next to his work as a,
priest came his work as a social reform
er, and he was broad enough to see
that to confine religion to theology was
fatal to religion. So, heroic man that
he was, he set himself to work to
solve the great problems of our time,
namely, 'Why is it that amid increas
ing wealth gaunt poverty persists in
rearing its head? Why is it that the
tramp qomes with the locomotive? Why
,is 11 tiiat "upon streets lighted with ga
and patrolled by uniformed policemen
beggars wait for the passer-by, and in
the shadow of college and library and
museum are gathered the more hideous
Huns and fiercer vandals of whom
Macauley prophesied?" In reply to
such questions as these Dr. McGlynn
had fcnswers, keen critical, logical solu
tions in place of the inane platitudes
one hears on every hand, and as a re
sult the "common people heard him
gladly." He knew that to preach Jus
tice and practice injustice was worse
than folly, so he said before justice can
be had injustice must cease. And not

reformers now1 so popular in high places
who are quite willing to state many un
pleasant truths, but at the same tlrnq
are very careful to keep them in the ab
stract. He stated not only the truth,
but showed wherein the injustice lay,
and how justice might be established.
He. said: "I have taught, and I shall
continue to teach, in speeches and writ
ings as long as I live, that land ia
rightly the property of the people In
common, and that private ownership
of land Is against nsftural Justice, no
matter by what civil or ecclesiastical
laws it may be sanctioned, and I would
bring about instantly, if I could, such
a change of laws all the world over as
would confiscate private property in
land without one penny of compensa
tion to the miscalled owners."
W6 have around us college presidents
and professors, ministers of so-called
liberal churches, who condemn this as,
unjust. Yet let it be, remembered that
his celebrated apology being submitted
o four theologians of the Catholio uni
versity at Washington, was pronounced,
to be not inconsistent with Catholiq
doctrines. He blended his religion with
everyday life when he said: ','If land
may be privately owned then God is the
father of a few and the stepfather o
all the rest." He touched the keynote
of human brotherhood when he said:
"The Single tax will make room at the
Father's table for all of His children."
A spirited discussion followed during
which a number of interesting points;
were made. Among those who took
part in the discussion were Attorney
Willard D. Warren and Anthony Car
roll. COFFEE AND MINSTRELS.
An entertainment under the auspicea
of the combined societies of the First
M. E. church was held in the church
parlors last night. The entertainment
was of a patriotic nature in honor of
George Washington, and the interior
decorations were appropriately national.
A programme consisting of numbers
by the Y, M. C. A. orchestra, a colored
quartette, and recitations by Mr.
Adams was successfully carried out,
after which refreshments were served.
