British Repulsed.I.ondon, March 6.—Telegranqs re­ceived here from Klerksdorp describ­ing the attack upon and capture by the Boers, February 24, at a point south­west of Klerksdorp,, of 467 BriUto sol­diers who were acting as convoy to. an empty wagon train, show that General Delarey laid his plans with consum­mate care and precise knowledge of the ground.The third Boer attack upon the con­voy was delivered from various points and was most determined.By sheer recklessness they tried to overwhelm the British defense. The British guns shelled the charging Doers, but nothing stopped their on­slaught, which was delivered with un­usual impetus. The convoy of mules was subjected to heavy fire and de­serted by the native drivers, the mules stampeded, putting many of the b®* fenders temporarily out of action and causing the wildest confusion.For two hours th^ British held out. Then they were divided and over­whelmed. A few minutes of cautious fighting and all was over. The Boers galloped along the Itoe, firing at every man who showed tie slightest ten­dency to resist, until they reached and captured the guns. In the excitement the Nprthumberland fuslleers, who had been cut off, succeeded in fighting their way out for some distance. "When their ammunition became exhausted they charged with bayonets, but were speed­ily overpowered.By 7 o’clock in the morning all re­sistance was at an end. The dead and wounded were scattered all over toe field. Broken wagons and panic strick­en horses and mules made a scene of j.ndescribable, confusion. Not until General Delarey ckme In person was anything like order restored. Ho stop­ped the Boers engaged in stripping the British .wounded, by the free use of the sjambok, but they continued the work of despoiling directly his back was turned.

Paterson, J., March 4.—This clly, so recently swept by Are,'Is flow over­whelmed with flood. Three weeks ago the greater part of Its buslfless section waa burned out and today toe quarters occupied by poorer classes ^are inufl- dated. Hundreds of families are home­less and the country for miles around the city is under water. So far but one death has been reported.The great peril now Is that the Spruce street raceway which supplies water power for all mills' along the water front may overflow. This would . cause great loss to the manufacturing districts. Expert engineers have placed dynamite below the Spruce street bridge, and if necessary it will
be touched off. ; ^This will open a new channel for the volume of water held there, and,”' diverting It, save a good deal of prop­erty, 'The lire of three weeks ago, while causing damage to property to toe afiount of nearly ten millions, did not create such suffering and widespread desolation as the flood of today. ■The district for a mile along the river front from Sptuce street hill to ' Straight street and two blocks north and five south of the river, nearly a mile in width, is covered with water, and in some places to the second‘story of the dwellings. In this district are situated the Rogers Locomotive works and several silk mills and dye works. Nearby live fully 600 families who have been driven from their tene­ments. Several hundred of these peo­ple were taken from their houses in boats and barges amid scenes of much excitement., Hundreds of Homeless.More than a hundred homeless fam­ilies are sheltered in the fifth regi­ment armory. Citizens from all parts of the city have poured'1U load? of blankets, clothing and provisions. City employes of every department worked like beavers In their efforts to relieve the distressed. There was a lack of boats to cope with the emergency and a wagon load was sent over from Newark in good time to give excel­lent service.In the work of rescue Henry Rich­ards. a carpenter, lost his life. After making several trips, on each of which he brought three or four persons, his boat was upset and he was swept away in the waters which were rush­ing with the force of a mill race.
Two alarms of fire were turned In during the afternoon and it looked as If, the elements were combining to destroy the city.The firemen who were helping to re­move the people from the district were forced to take three hours to fight the flames. Neither loss waa large, but as a brisk wind was blow­ing the danger was great.On Hamilton avenue, near the river, two nev^ buildings were undermined by toe flood, collapsed and were swept away. The Arch street bridge col­lapsed in the afternoon and all the ' other bridges are completely' sub­merged. The boiler and engine roornsv^ of several of the big mills are 10 feet under water, -r-
