BUSHMAN KOP, Saturday, March
SI. Tho British force commanded by
Colonel Droadwood, consisting of tho
Tenth Hussars, Household cavalry,
two liorso batteries and a forco of
mounted Infantry under Coloel, Pll
clier, which had been garrisoning
Thnba Nchu, wns obliged, in conBC
quenco of tho near approach of a largo
forco of Doers, to leave last night.
Colonel Droadwood marched to tho
Illoomfontcln wntcr works, south of
tho Moddcr, whero ho encamped at 4
o'clock this morning.
At early dawn tho camp was shelled
ty tho enemy from a near point. Col
onel Droadwood sent off a convoy with
batteries; while tho rest of tho forco
remained to act as n rear guard.
Tho convoy nrrlved at n deep spruit
(stream) whero tho Doers wero con
cealed and tho ontlro body walked Into
ambush and was captured, together
with six guns.
Tho loss of life was not great, slnco
most of tho British had walked Into
tho trap beforo a shot was fired.
General Colvlllo'a division, which
left Dloemfontcln early this morning,
arrived hero at noon, and ho Is now
shelling tho Doers.
LONDON, April 2. General Dullor'B
anxious Inquiry, whether British offl
ccra will over learn tho value of
scouting, comes back with enforced
cmphnsls to tho Drltlsh public today
on receipt of tidings that a convoy
with guns has walked deliberately
into a Doer nmbush within about twen
ty miles of Dlocmfontctn.
Lord Roberts' own report of the af
fair, If yet received by tho War offlco,
has not been published and no account
Is available to tho public except tho
dispatch from Dushmankop. Nothing,
therefore, can bo said regarding tho
details.
Evidently Colonel Droadwood
thought It necessary to retreat In haste
from Thaba Nchu, as ho marched all
through Friday night, apparently fol
lowed by a large forco of tho enemy.
Tho forces nnd guns had to pas3
ihrough a deop spruit, which the Doers
had occupied.
Six of tho twelvo guns, comprising
two batteries, all tho wagons, nnd, it
is feared, many men fell Into tho hands
of tho Boers, whoso daring, displayed
so near Bloemfonteln. shows that they
are rapidly recovering heart aftor their
recent reverses.
Tho bono Is expressed hero that Gen
oral Colvlllo will recover tho convoy
nnd guns, but this Is hardly likely In
Biich n dlfflcult country, anu it is proo
nblo that tho next nows will bo that
after a stiff fight General Colvlllo has
extricated Colonel Broadwood from his
dlfflcult position, but failed to retriovo
tho disaster.
Sovero criticisms are heard regard
ing tho renewal of tho old mistake of
underrating tho Boots and tho nbaenco
ot proper precaution. No doubt tho af
fair will revive Boer hopes and Inspire
confldenco among tho enemy at a crlt
ical moment.
Great things aro expected by tho
Boers of tho new commandcr-ln-chtcf,
General Botha, who has made his rep
utatlon wholly during tho present
campaign. Foreign offlccrB serving
with the BoerB have oxnrcssed surprise
at hla clever tactics. Tho proof ot
continuing Boer activity in the Fres
Rtnto will comnel creator circumspcc
tlon on tho part of tho British and
will probably delay tho marcn ot uou
erts northwnrd.
Detailed accounts of tho fight at
Knrco siding estimate the Boor forces
variously from 3.0C0 to o.uuu men,
Vliigun Hunts Its fourso.

TARIFF DILL STILL IN FRONT.

Tnrmliiy Aflrrnoon.
WASHINGTON, April 2. Tho nennto
will vote upon tho Porto Itlcan bill
Tuesday at 4 o'clock and, previous to
that time, each session of the senate,
beginning nt It o'clock Monday nnd
T ucBday, will be devoted wholly to thla
bill. Speeches will be mndo by Sena
tors Bate, Depow, Spooncr, Cullom. Mn
son, Cloy and Culberson, and probably
tty other senators. '
Thcro will be n great rush ot speak
trs townrd tho close nnd tho Unto al
lowed Is considered too short to ncconv
modnto all who will deslro to bo heard.
Thcro la, however, no disposition to ox-
tend tho tlmo agreed upon for taking
tho vote.
All but two of the committee amend
ments hnvo been agreed to by the sen
ate. ThCBo two relate to a delegate In
congress and to citizenship, and proba
bly will bo voted upon Monday.
Tho friends of tho bill count upon
its pnssago by n handBomo majority,
but It Is now expected that woven re
publican votes will be cast against It,
tho seven comprising Senators Davis,
Hoar, MaBon, Nelson, Proctor, bimon
nnd Wellington. Senntor McEncry,
democrat, and boihc Independent sona-
torn will voto for tho measure, but un
til tho oxact number of such votes Is
known tho majority for tho bill cannot
be predicted.
Tho taking of the vote on tho Porto
Rlcan bill on Tuesday will displace the
Quay resolution, which was sot for that
day, nnd Senator Chandler, chairman
of tho committee on elections, has giv
en notice thnt ho will postpone calling
it un until Wednesday. The commlttco
will adjourn tho Clnrk hearing In order
to give Its attention to tho Quay reso
lution Wednesday, but as It 1b not ex
pected that tho latter matter can bo dis
posed of In one day It Ih probable mat
tho necessity for going on with tho
Clark case after Wednesday will cause
another postponement of tho Quay rca
rlutlon. Thero nre several speeches to
be made on the Quay case and thero
i-j quite a notlccablo disposition on the
part of some senators still runner to
postpono tho voto on It. Senntor Pen
iobo, however, announces hla purposo
to prcso the consideration nb rapidly As
I ossiblc after It is onco taken up.
The Quay resolution is subject to ais-
nlacement by appropriation bills, con
ference reports and tho Spooner resolu
tion for tho temnornry government oi
the Philippines. Tho Philippine resolu
tion will bo mado the unimisnca uubi
i.ess nftcr tho voto 1b taken on Porto
Itlco, and It will give way to tho Alaska
( niln mensurc.
After that It will divide tho tlmo with
appropriation bills and conrerenco re
norts. No nrolonced discussion Is ex
pected on tho Philippines resolution,
fwlnir to tho fact that It Is considered
a temnornry matter, and for tho further
reason that tllo Philippines poucy nas
received considerable attention in con
tention with Porto Rico.
Tim committee on order of Business
Is not yet thoroughly decided what sub
ject to take up after tuc tiiBposai oi ino
Philippines resolution, 'mere is sirons
nrnssuro to secure first place for the
Ehlnnlnu subsidy bill, nnd at present
the Indications aro somewhat favorable
r that measure. Tho Nicaragua canal
bill Is also pressing for first place and
Senator Morgan expresses strong hope
ot success.

HASTINGS. Nob., April 2. Follow
ing aro extracts from the chnrgo ot
Judgo AdamB In tho Horlocker enso:
"Tho law presumes that every person
lr of a sound mind until there Is some
evidence to tho contrary. In this caso
tho dofondant la entitled to nn acquit
tal If tho cvldenco ongcudera n reason

at tho tlmo tho alleged offence la charg
ed to havo been committed. Evldcnco
rebutting or tending to rebut tho pre
emption ot sanity need not, to cntl-
tlo tho defendant to an acquittal, pro
pondornto In favor of tho nccuscd. Tho
presumption of lunocenco attends tho
accused step by step through tho en
tire case, ns well upon that ot mental
capacity aa upon nil others. Tho ef
fect of tho presumption ot mnoconco
upon tho question of mental capacity
is of such strength ns to require that
tho evldcnco show soundness of mind
Leyond reasonable doubt, but It Is not
of such power aa to require tho state
in the first IiiFianco and beforo tho In
troduction of evldcnfo tending to show

tal capacity havo been In tho normal
condition usually possessed by ordinary

"Insanity la dlseaso of the mind. An
net produced by mental dlseaso la not

tal dlseaso which Irresistibly compelled
her to commit an net, If tho net was
tho object of mcntnl dlscuso In her,
she la not guilty; sho Is Innocent, no
innocent bb If tho act had been pro
duced by Involuntary Intoxication or
by nnother porson using hor hand
against her utmost resistance. Insan
ity la not Innocent unless it produce
tho committing of tho deed. If the de
