THE GORDONS AGAIN.

| Lonpox, May 4.—The News has the fol- | lowing from Thaba N’Chu, dated Wednes* | day :

In yesterday’s flanking movenient Cap- taia Towee and fifty of the Gordon High, landers were surrounded by 250 Boers who

demanded their surrender. Captain Towse ordered his men to fix bayonets and charge. With a wild cheer the Gor-

Captain Towse was biinded in both eyes by the enemy’s fire. The men

throughout behaved most heroically. AN EXPLANATION ASKED.

which, accordiag to the statement of her commander, was boarded by the British warship Wasp within the three mile limit of the Portugese territory in East Africa. The American Ambassader’s communica« tion to the British Premier hardly amounts to a protest and serious complica- tions are not likely to ensue.
