The importance of the surrender and the work which was accomplished by the Parco Commis- sion were recogised by General Hughes in a telegram addressed to the Peace Commission, which has been published in Cebu. It runs as follows:--

With these hopeful indications everything now points to a speedy cessation of hostilities As Marilom has been next in impor- tance to Lukban and has really been ontrolling affairs in that island, his surrender must no doubt be fraught with large consequences. Chief of those will be the paralysing of one wing ef. Lukban's force. Heretofore there has been free passago between Cebu and Samar, and in reality they have both been one large stamp. ing ground for the insurgente, but now with Coba cleared of resistance, it will be less likely to afford refuge to those who wish to flee from Samar.

DESCRIPTION DY AN EYE-WITNESS, The following private latter from a civilian who was a passenger in the train which was wrecked with such fatal results at Waterval North on the Pretoria-Pietersburg line, ne been communicated to Bentor's Agency in London :-

Pretoria, 2nd September.

My Dear Sister-I hope you have received the telegram I had sent yesterday through the managing director, Major Burton, assuring you of my safety. I had this sent owing to the fact that I write to yon sou days ago and mentioned the date of my intended departure for Pietersburg, and the news of the disaster that befall us probably getting into the papers before you get this leitor, might cause you some anxioty,

It wants the pen of a Jules Verne or some other descriptive writer to describe the actual occurrence, and the scenes I witnessed on that fateful day. We left Pretoria Station at four o'clock on Saturday, the 31st (I had got into the train to loop about ten o'clock the provions night). Our carriage, which I shared with. young Scotchman named Birss, agent for the Cold Storage Co., was one of those half-size ones of the N.Z.A.8.M. with space for two persons only. Next to our compartment was. Colonel Vandeleur (in charge of the train) and A few more officers

We passed Waterval at about a quarter past six in the noraing-say four miles north of that place. I shouted to my fellow passenger, What ho she bumps!" and she did bump, too, as the carriage was jolting to such an extent that I was thrown forward out of

my bank.

Brente any kind of work in SHIPBUILD: I then heard the first shots fred, and thought ING and MARINE ENGINEERING as well it advisable to take the best cover availablə as in REPAIRING of SHIPS...

Moanwhile the officer next in command, Major Beatson (West Riding had dispatched a man on foot to the commandant at Waterval to inform him of the disaster, and asking him to send the tabulance train out, and a spare engine to fetch in the saved trucks. They arrived about dve o'clock in the afternoon, but es the Boers had also blown up the line behind DEALERS IN ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES OF ALL DESCRIPTIONS.

We got back to Pretoria at about a quarter- past eight in the evening. I was covered with blood from head to foot, I have taken with me from the scene of the slaughter a Mausor rifle the stock broken off. It appears that the Boers smashed their Mansers and took our men's Enfelds and ammunition.

The next afternoon I had lunch with Mr. Blair at the Transvaal Hoel, where I was surrounded with war correspondents to whom I related my experiences, It appears that the women hare given a different tale to mine, namely, they state that both Colonel Vandeleur and the woman were doliberately shot in their carriages by a Boer who had got into the train. This was not ed. You are quito safo in adopting my version of that affair; it is the same that I gave this morning to Major Walters, the Press Cousor,

Colonel Vandeleur died like a brave soldier in the discharge of his duty. We brought bis body in here and baried him yesterday with fall military honours. Lord Kitchener and stat also attended. It was a most impressive function, the band of the Highlanders playing their weird fuueral march on the tagpipes. The other poor fellows (about twelve) were buried in the veldt near the scone of the disaster.

Out of forty-seven people on the train, all told, only eleven got off unscathed. A. Mr. Krochmann, a German from Pietersburg, is the only other civilian besides the woman that. escaped,
