It is evident from Genera' Boiler's dispatch 'o the War Oflice, and the advices in the Associated Press from Spearman's Camp, that a hig hittlo is now hem;* fought. As far as can he gathered from theso dispatches, the result ra mains undecided, and unless th Boers withdraw during the night, the engagement on which hangs cT ? ? the fate of Ladysmith and which may prove the turning point of the war will ho resumed this morning. CLERY'S MEN IN ACTION. Ridge After Ridge Captured in a Fight That Lasted 13 Hours. London .Ian 21?The War (Office, shortly after midnight, posted the following dispatch from Gen aru 1 , 1.?4 ' - iiiiii.i, niiicii o|ifnniiiiu s Ciiinj), January 20, evening: "General Clerv, with a part of Warren's for e, has been in action from 6 a m, till 7 p m today. By a judicious use of his artillery ho has fought his way up, capturing ridge, for about threo miles. The troops are now bivouacking on the ground he has gained, but the main position is still in front of them. The casualties were not heavy. About 100 wounded had been brought in by 0:30 p m.

Artillery Extensively Employed. 1 - ? London, Jan 22. 4:30 a tn.? Tho present justifiable severity of the censorship prevents the special correspondents from giving additional information to supplement Gen Bullcr's latest dispatch. 1'he success of tho movement depends I almost entirely upon how far he ' proves able to outmanouvre the Boers, whose available forces are I doubtless larger than his own The chief difficulty lies in the] ability of the Boers t transport ] men, stores and ammunition j quickly and to entrench new possessions. Secreev regarding (ien Buller's program, therefore, is essential, and tho public here is quite content to wait patiently. From the information which the! censor has allowed to pass it is as| I yet impossible to form a correct notion of the British tactics. One tiling, however, is quite clear. 'The British commanders have | profited bv experience, and are ' now avoiding infantry charges, giving preference to the more judicious use of artillery. The general idea is that Sit Red vers! Bullcr, with some S,0no men and I 18 field guns, is holding northern i bank of the Tngela at Potgicters drift, while Warren, with about 1 12,000 men, SO guns and a lurge j force of cavalry, is working around the right flank of the1 Boers, eight or ten miles away. I One account of Saturday's I lighting says that the British had j few killed. Little reliance can he I placed upon these reports; and, i although the main position of tho Boers has not yet been attacked j and nothing is known as to its strength, Saturday's and Sunday's fighting, which can hardly be described as more than outpost affairs, evidently entailed serious losses. Tho Boers are following their old-time tactics?making a show of resistance and then retreating in good order to prepared posi tions; and, as they are working from the interior of their lines, thev may be Hble to bring strong forces to defend the main position, j Nothing is heard regarding any counter attack by "dr George White from Ladysmith, and Gen Boiler's ,41 think we are making substantial progress' remains the I n I last word. This shows that there j is still more very hard work in front of the British forces. The News from other points is of slight interest. Gen Kelly! Kenny's division has hoen sent by (Jen Gatacre to form an advanced base at Rosema junction. ijondon, Jan *21. ? (ien Buller! cables the war office the following: Spearman's Gamp,Jan 21, 0 p m. Gen Warren has been engaged all day, chiefly on his left, which he has swung forward about a couple of miles. The ground is very difficult, and as the fighting is u 11 the time up hill, it is difli cult to say exactly how much wo have gained, but I think ne are making substantial progress. BALL PLAYKU'S AWFUL j CRIME. . Berger, of Boston, Kills His Wife and Two Children and Himself. Boston, Mass., dan 10--Martin Bergor, of the Boston baso hall club, in a Ht of temporary insanity, killed his wife and two children at'their home in Kast Brookfield and then killed himself. Some time last night he brained his wife and one child with an axe and cut the throat of the other child with a razor. Then he cut hia own throat with the same implement SOUTH CAROLINA LEADS PROCESSION. Sue Stands First on List of Southern Stiitos In Mutter of Railroad Building. The year just closed was marked by more railroad building in j the United States than has been since 1890. according to The Com I mon Carrier, New construction in 1809 amounted to 4,500 miles, or 1,400 miles more than in 1808. From 1887 railroad building , decreased year by year until 1S05. . Then for three years t'>cre was erv little change In 1808 there was a revival in new construction and last year was nearly 50 per cent, ahead of the preceding 12 months. Idie Railway Age's estimate places the new track laid in 1899 ui nines nn<i i no Railroad Gazette figures it sit 4,555 miles. While theso two authorities differ as to the nuinhor of companies building and he mileage in ul most every State, their totals are not far apart and either can he accepted as approximately correct The southern States, including Texas and Arkansas, built about 27 per cent of the to*al. South Carolina led among the southern States, with Georgia second. Iowa leads the list for the whole country with 582 miles. A Deplorable Accident. Special to The State. Prosperity, January 21?News leached here this morning of a very sad accident which occurred late yesterday afternoon about six miles from town. Two hoys, Bartow Wheeler and David Cannon, were out hunting. While in the exciting pursuit of a rabbit, young Wheeler being a few feet ahead of his companion, and both hoys running at full speed, Cannon tripped and fell. His gnu was accidentally discharged, the wholo loud lodging in Wheeler's neck. Death resulted immediately. The unfortunate hoy was a son of Mr. N B Wheeler and a nephew of Mr. J M Wheeler of this place. He was 15 years old and a promising youth. No blame whatever is attached to Cannon, as tho tragedy was put ely accidental and i* deoply regretted by the whole community FA MINK IN INDIA. Tons of Millions Affected While 3,250,000 Are Now Receiving Relief. Calcutta, Jan 19.? The council today considered the famous situation. Tho oflicial esti nates show tho cost to tho government of the relief works, etc, to tho end of March will ho 40,000,000 rupees. About 22,000,000 persons are now affected in British territory and about 27,000,000 in the native States. i ... i - ? i iiw vicurny, i>oru v^irzoii or Kedlenton, s:ii? 1 thut the famine men hnd expanded, surpassing the worst fears ami they wero now facing a cattle, water and food scarcity of a terrible character. About ll,'J5o,000 persons, bo continued, were already receiving relief. While in 1H07 the worid shared India's sorrow and contributed hundreds of thousands of pounds toward the rolief fund, tho viceroy pointed out, India now would have to struggle Alone, for tho thoughts of every Englishman in the world were centred on South Aftica. It would be the duty of the government to pursue the tank of saving millions of lives and it | would spend its last rupee, if I necessary to do so. SKELETONS IN MOUNTAIN CAVE.
