Word reached the city on Saturday after- , n00a of the death of Hoa. Thomas Annear, who was for mavy years a member of the i Provincial Legislature. It seems tha Mr. Aupear was around a6 usual on Saturday morning, but about ten e’clock complain«d of being }'Jl and it wae not long afterwards before bis spirit passed away. Mr. Aunear

was a nativeof Corawall, England, and

came to Prinee Edward Island when quite

wide circle of friends, and his unexpected

death is greatly regretted,

Another old Isndmark hes also been re~ moved. Mr. James P. Donse departed this life on Saturday afternoon, at the ripe age of 69 years. Mr. Douse was well and tavorably cnown throughout the province, having for many years carried on an ex” teusive ship-building business, His bereav-

Thereupon, our artillery opened fire The main body of the Boer force kept upa@ruuning fight the whole day, vainly trying to eseape,

Each time their advanee-guard sought to move off, our Mounted [nfantry galloped around and checked them.

We never attempted to stop their main movem tnt, contenting ourselves with try- ing to check them.

Their position at Koffyfootein is eaid to be very strong. They entertain a whole~ some dread often thousand cavalry mor- ing more quickly than they do themselves.

We hope to be in Bloomfontein shortly.

Bat for the unexpected delay at Dekil’s Drift, which was almost impassable for waggons, th? whole Boer force would have been surrounded. The delay of one day gave them their chance for a hasty retreat. All the other movements of Lord Roberis were executed exactly to time,

Apparently General Cronje is retreating with hig main army, and even if he ea capes altogether, be will probably lose all his baggage.

BEROIC AUSTRALIANS.

Lonpoyx, Fes 19.—A despatch to the Times from Naauwpoort, describing the

retirement to Arundel draws attention to the devotion of twenty men of the ¥ ictoria Mounted Rifles whe were caught in a trap and died to a man, fighting to the last. LAURENTIAN ARRIVES,

Carz Town, Feb. 19.—The Laurentian with the firet artillery and secend of the Canadian Centingent of troops arrived at this port today.

The treeps were welcomed by Major Joun Hanbury Williams, Military Secre- tary to the Governor of Cape Colony, and the British High Commissiener in South Africa, Sir Alfred M'lner, on behalf of

His Excelleney. BULLER’S FOURTH ATTEMPT.

Cnievetey, Feb 19.—The country in which General Baller is now working is

thickly wooded. British operations are directed to the

capture of Hlangwano hill, where the Bvecs are strongly fortified and from

great accuracy.

The British infantry are now disposed along a line extending seven miles to the south kopjes.

At the base of Montecisto Hill, from 6 o’clock on Friday morning, the British incegeantly shelled Monte Cristo, with the Nek separating it from Blaauw Krantz hil) along the right, the British infantry making slow pregress up the Nek, in an endeavor to eccupy Montecristo which will enable them to enfilade the Boers on Hlangwano.

THE SITUATION,

Lonwox, Feb. 19, 1a. m.—Lord Rob. erts’ operations are on éo large a ecale that the press despatches do not give a com~ prehensive view of the whole field,

‘around Kimberley and that the Guards Brigade had advanced from the Modder

which they are shelling the British with ;

The ma‘n fact is the abandonment of | the Boers, positions at Magersfontein and.

silence did not cau-e uneasiness, Tt was understood in official circl-- that every- thing was goiog well, and that Lord Roberts had not considered it neces sary to report apy additional de- tails of the Boer retreat and relief of Kimberley but sonld break the silence as soon as French succeeded in overtaking the enemy.

Lord Roberts’ army, having relieved Kimberley without a battle and with trivial skirmishing, is now at liberty to follow Cronje eastward and northward.

—SECONDEDITION,

Lonpon, Feb. 19, 3 20 p. m.—The War Office has received the following despaich from General Buller: “Clieveley camp | Feb. 19.—I yesterday moved around the

enemy’s flank. The Queens’, who bivouacked on the north of Curgol,crossed

the Nek supported by the rest of the second brigade under General Hildyard aed aseaultei and took the southern end of Mounte Cristo.

The fourth brigade on the left, or west~ ero slope, and the Welsh Fuse iliere, supported by the reet of the sixth brigade, assulted the eastern flank of the enemy’ position, while the eecord brigade cavalry, on the extreme right, watched the eastern slopes of Monte Cristo and drove back those of the enemy attempting to escape therefrom:

Our artillery fire was assulted by a heavy artillery fire on their front and flank and attacked oo their flank and rear

The enemy made but a slight resistance, aud abandoning their strong position were driven across the Tugele.

Ihave tsken several of the camps, 4 wagon loadof ammunition and several wagon loads of stores and supplies, and a few prisoners.
