The convoy arrived at a deep spruit • stream! where the Boers were con cealed and the entire body walked into * ambush and was captured, together t with ids guns The low* of life was not great, since most of the British had walked into the trap before a shot was fired.

WASHINGTON, April 2.—The com ing census of live stock will undertake three new features: classification by age and partly by sex and use; a count of pure blood animals, and an enumeration of stock not on farms and ranger, these last amounting to sev eral million head. The age classifi cation was undertaken in response to a demand of the stockmen who felt | that the mere enumeration of animals legardlesr of age and use was about as valueless as a count of inhabitants without distinction of age, sex, color I and occupation. R«HTS_IN_A FIGHT Boers Draw His Forces Oat From Bloem fontein and Battle Follows. A NUMBER OE BRITISH CASUALTIES One Captain Killed and Satan OtHcara Ara Among tUa Wounded— Kngltsh Capture Several Kopjas— Roberta Re ports that the Burgher Army Has Retreated to Hraudfort. LONDON, arch 31.—The Bloemfon tein correspondent of the Daily Chron icle, telegraphing Thursday, March 29, says: President Kruger's latest* proclama tion warns the women and children to leave Bloemfontein within five days, as he intends to bombard and destroy the city and to shoot the burghers whom he captures there. LONDON. March 31.—The war office has issued the following: "BLOEMFONTEIN. March 30.-2:15 1 m.—Owing the the activity of the en emy on our immediate front and their hostile action toward burghers who surrendered. 1 found it necessary to drive them from some kopjes they had occupied near the Karee siding sta tion. a few miles south of Brandfort. The operation was successtuhy carried cut by the Seventh division, assisted I y the First and Third cavalry brig ades. under French, and Le Gallais* regiment of mounted infantry. The enemy retreated to Brandfort and our toops now hold the kopjes. Our cas ualties were: Killed. Captain Going. St ottish Bor derers; wounded. Captain Sellar. Luard. Peebles. Curgonven and Ed wards. Lieutenants Coulson and French end about 100 rank and file.” The reports that Lord Roberts will it main at Bloemfontein another month ire probably intended for Boer con sumption and the recent movement of troops and other indications point to I reparations being well advanced for a forward movement. The head of the army of Lord Rob erts is now about twenty-one miles north of Bloemfontein. It occupies a cluster of hills won from the Boers. The Boers have been using these bills as a base in beating up the coun try, in driving off cattle and forcing non-resistant Free Staters into the ranks again. The enemy must have been in considerable force, for Lord Roberts sent 8.000 infantry and 3.000 ia\alry against them. Lord Roberts' advance to Pretoria will probably consist of a series of rap id forward movements, in wnich Boer positions will be attacked by a portion of the army advancing rapidly with wheel transport, the main army coming up as the railway is repaired. lx>rd Roberts is stripping the forces in the minor spheres of operations of their wagons and transport animals in order to hasten the advance. This is under stood to be the reason why he recalled ixird Methuen from Barkly West to Kimberley. The reason why a hot chase was not made after Commandant Olivier is that Lord Roberts did .not wish to wear out the cavalry transport. General French lost 3,000 horses in the relief of Kim berley and the pursuit of General Cronje. Lord Methuen has iost 1.500 transport cattle and probably 4.000 other animals since the forward move ment began on February 12. The advance around Bloemfontein is through a barren country and sup ply officers see an increased difficulty for a great army moving along a sin gle line of railway, even when the lat ter is working smoothly and with am ple rolling stock.

Neb., March 31.—The locker-Morey poisoning case came at 11:45 this morning when the Jury brought in a verdict of not guilty, after having been out but one hour. State’s Attorney McCreary closed his plea at 10 o'clock and Judge Adams immediately instructed me Jurors as to how they were to be gov erned in forming the verdict. At 10:30 the Jury went out and the judge and attorneys departed for various places about the city, as they were under the impression that the Jury would r.ot report until after dinner. But af ter having been out less than an hour j the jurors had agreed upon the ver I diet. There were less than 300 people in the court room when the jurors came filing in. The defendant sat in her ac customed place close to the jury box, with her sisters on either side. A I deathlike silence prevailed as the ver ! diet was handed to the judge and | he began to read. Bach word that he pronounced seemed to touch the heart stirring chord of all as they waited with bated breath until he said "Not guilty." Upon hearing these words Viola Horlocker sprnng up with emotional excitement, uttered a heart-rending moan and sank to her chair in a swoon. R. A. Batty, attorney for the defense, drew the girl to his bosom and the two wept tears of joy. ! As soon as Viola had sufficiently re j tovered to stand her attorney escorted ; her to the jury box. where she stood. : with heart throbbing, quivering lips J and tears in her eyes. As the jurors emerged from the box she attempted ' ot express her graiitude. but she I could do nothing more than grasp j them by the hand, as she was emo tionally overcome. There were but few women in the court room, but most of those present came forward to shake her hand and whisper words of encouragement. Mr. and Mrs. Morey were absent fiom the court room when the verdict was rendered. The verdict was not unexpected, as tne majority of the people felt thai the defendant would be cleared or tne jury would disagree. One of the jurors said there was a missing link ir the chain of evidence, as not one of the witnesses had testified to hav ing seen the defendant with a box or package on the fatal day, and said he would have stayed with the jury a life time before he would have given a ver dict to convict. Judge Adams said that, considering the testimony and the facts as offered, he thought the proper verdict had been rendered. GOEBEL REWARD MONEY. .1 uktire Lewis S»y» Not k Dollar Will Me Paid for Con reunion*. FRANKFORT. Ky„ March 31.—Ex Chief Justice James H. Lewis, chair man of the committee selected by tne legislature to have charge of the Goe bel reward fund, today made the fol lowing statement concerning the story sent out from Winchester yesterday that Attorney James Andrew Scott had proposed to relatives of H. F. Youtsey to give him a portion of the reward money for a confession of the details of the conspiracy to assissinate Governor Goebel. “The money appropriated by the legislature.'* said he. "to be used in running down the assassins of Gov ernor Goebel and bringing them to justice will be distributed as provided at the first meeting of the reward com mission. so much for the assassin and so much for the conviction of each accessory. “The preliminary work is in the hands of Commonwealth's Attorney Franklin and no private citizen has authority from Mr. Franklin or from the commission to ofTer rewards for confessions of alleged accessories. Not a cent of the $100,000 has yet been spent and I think you can safely say that not a dollar of it will be paid foi confessions." Delitco* Awxrd Confirmed. WASHINGTON. D. C..
