United Press Association. (Received 8 a.m.) London, February 22
"When the Union forces landed at Swakopmuud, three mines were fired by a German who wa % s hid in packing cases buried on the beJlch, jin which was a mattress, food, wine, and a telephone communicating with the town. When the first mine exploded, a horse and three troopers fell on the wire, which was instantly cut, and this saved the rest of the troops. The hidden German escaped.
DE WET’S TRIAL.
PUBLIC INTEREST FLAGGING.
