A special despatch from Colenso. dated Feb. Ttr says: The Boera are endeavoring to outflank vla, and aevere fighting continues." Th3 Dally Mall nan tha following from Ladysmlth. dated Saturday: Yesterday the Boer retreat continued. A party of about ae'venty, en routs for the north, drew rein near Limit Hill.

A battery of fifteen-pounders, placed not far off, suddenly opened fire and practically annihilated tba party. A Boer ambulance waa later on aeon collecting the dead and "wounded. Tba Boera are trying to form a bridge or drift acroe Klip River, aoutb of Umbul-wana. evidently for the purpose of permitting the passage of wagons and artillery Jn their retirement from Volenso. Our guna are preventing thla work being carried on." A dispatch to The Daily Mall from Pleter-tnariiaburg, dated Monday, describes at considerable length the enormous difficulties of Oen.

Bulkr's task," and aaya: Tha real advance began last Wednesday. The stupendous nature of the task was only understood when, being op the spot, one was iu r.anae wnac it means to nan infantry at positions alligned In every direction with carefully prepared trenches, and "mi oreasiworns aerenaea by pracucauy Invisible riflemen, armed with the deadly rapid-firing weuponts and aided by quick-firing guns which put all Cut our cannon of the largest calibre Into the shade." Commenting upon Krlday'a fighting. Th Daily Mall's correspondent says: As It would have been madness to seek an outlet from the amphitheatre of hills by way of Oroblcr's Kloof, on the left, a route had to be found on the right; and, at 2 P. M. on Friday, amid the incesaant crackling of rifle fire and the roar of cannon, the Irish brigade was dispatched along the river to take Hallway Hill, on the other side of Pieter's Station.

Thla hill is commanding enough to insure our advance, providing we could hold It securely and could mount canhon on it From Onderbrook Spruit Railway Bridge the track runa along the Tugela, and it was perilously open to the Boer marknmen disposed on the kopjes back from the river; and. after paaslng Pieter's Station, many men would be bound to be hit. Beyond the station the Una passes over another small brMye crossing a deep donga, and it waa in the approach to thla bridge and onward to the base of Railway Hill that the greatest danger from enforced expos-, ure obtained. It was necessary to cross by the brkiga at the mouth of the donga, which, beside being dlfficult'of access, ran into the Tugela. The path between tha railway and the river was almost always In full' view of the enemy.

Every man of the Irish brigade bad. therefore, tj rvul the. gantlet of Boer marksmen, ajffa numbers dropped oh tha bridge, where tha. Boer bullets fell dangerously thick, untltihe bridge was aandbag-ged and onlx on4 allowed on It at a time. Very soon fifty men were put out of action In the race from the bridge to the rendesvous, and several members of the volunteer ambulance corpa were wounded In following the troops." It was late In the afternoon when Oen.

Hart brigade gathered for the ascent of the hill. It was a fearful kopje to storm a series of rugged ridges terminating In a precipitous kopje-cwith the railway, which begins Its ascent to Ladysmlth on the left, winding underneath." COLENSO, Feb. 5U5. In the attempt the bintskillings Friday evening to rush the Boer position on lMeters Hill, the Boer lire was so terrible, when the Infantry emerged from the cover of the trees, that almost every man in the leading balf of the company fell wounded. The advance line of the British reached a donga tn front of the first Boer trench, whli-h was not apparent until they were actually in It.

The Boers retired to the crest and then returned, on either flank of the Innlsklll-Ings, enfilading the captured donga with a terrible crossfire. Finding it impossible to advance or to hold the British fell back and ibemselves half way up the hill. The Boers maintained a heavy fire. In the course of the night the Dublin Fusiliers and the Cunnaughts arriving to support the Innlakllllnga. another determined attempt waa made to take the Boer positions.

This also failed. A heavy fir continued, throughout the night. The Inniskilllngs lost fourteen fout of seventeen) officers, killed and wounded, and about non-commissioned officers and men. killed and wounded. JL-yttleton's brigade relieved Gen.

Hart a brigade In the morning: and the artillery duel was continued yeaterday, (Saturday.) though no great damage waa done. To-day an armistice was agreed upon to enable both sides to collect tnelr dead and wounded. The Boers admit having had very heavy. British will compel them to raise the alege of Ladysmlth.

Xarfly Attended Meeting ln the 21st Assembly District Held by the Xeader's Followers. A mewtlnr the followers of Abraham jQruber. the Republican leader ln tha Tweu-ty-flrst DUtrlct, waa held Ust nlxht at 2,030 Broadway, and It was very largely attended. A. U.

Zinke presided. After addresses by W. S. Bennet and Alderman Armilagre Matthews, CL Oruber said: I entered politic seven years before Lem Quia; thought of." he said. After ha cams to the front I worked for him until The'n I Incurred his 1U wiu because I.

told him plainly that ha could not b4 re-elected to Congress. Tb following yeaf I openly oposed Qulrg. It Is true that I did not vote far the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for Governor, because or.r district 'Convention, prior to the battle-on San Juan Hill. Instructed Its delegates to support Frank S. Black." Mr.

Oruber then paid hla respects to JudM lacslna George C. Austjn. u.r-1 declared that Qalra In 1808 wanted Austin to supersede John Ford as Senator, but lu told he could not put his nose one-tenth or an Inch ln the local politics of the district. "Why la Austin opposing? to-dsy?" shouted Mr. Oruber.

He is getting- a year as counsel for the State Asylum. With Austin S4.S0O per is not to be sneezed st. and Austin Is for the per. I have been taught in my political alphabet that the Vm (Piatt) precede the Wi (Qulgg) tn th Republican organisation, but the time may coma when the Q's will precede the V. If I were a pot hunter of the Qulgg or Austin strip my tlaS and.

my would have been given to Tammanr Hall. There 1 could have had all the pap I wanted. I reiterate the charge that Charles 9. llbur. the local Superintendent of the Federal Census, Is using his office for political purposes and against me.

He la doing It. to, through the Influence of Qulgg. He la prostituting a public office for pollttr-al purposes, and I shall charge against him to Director Gov. Roosevelt ln his message last year denounced th creation of unnecessary officav and particularly referred to special counsel for State Institutions. Mr.

Austin Is one of thei. Now Wilbur la creating special offices and has given one te Henry O. Dorscti. He was an employe of the Arbor on the Boulevard, where the Austlnltes hold forth." ln conclusion Mr. Oruber-said: tar.

Austin, in an tne past nghts ln th Tlstiict. hss been neutral, that della-htful condition which enables a maa when th fight Is over to become an enemy to his friend, and a friend to his enemy. Qulgg says that by erltloising him I am making Democratic sentiment. When Qulgar Insisted on running fear Congress ln li3 he made a Democratic Congressman. In 1W he made a Tammany Mavor.

and ln 1 W9 he made the Republican Party on election day look like 3U cents. He haa a record which ought to satisfy hln that he knowa nothing about politics ln New York County. He knows lots of things, but ha does not know himself. Flraaa gealaea Death. August Gets, a fireman employed in the Wool Exchange Building, Weat Broadway and Beach Btreet.
