Two British Batteries With Siz Guns and

Makes Its Escape Division Under Gen.
Colvvllle Leaves liloeuifontuiii to Ef

BUSHMAN KOP , Saturday , March
31. The British force commanded by
Colonel Broadwood , consisting "of the
Tenth Hussars , Household cavalry ,
two horse batteries and a force of
mounted Infantry under Coloel , Pil-
cher , which had been garrisoning
Thaba Nchu , was obliged , in consequence
quence of the near approach of a large
force of Boers , to leave last night.
Colonel Broadwood marched to the
Bloemfontein water works , south of
the Modder , where he encamped at 4
o'clock this morning.
At early dawn the camp was shelled
by the enemy from a near point. Col
onel Broadwood sent off a convoy with
batteries , while the rest of the force
remained to act as a rear guard.
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
with six guns.
The loss of life was not great , since
most of the British had walked into
the trap before a shot was fired.
General Colville's division , which
left Bloemfontein early this morning ,
arrived here at noon , and he is now
shelling the Boers.
LONDON , April 2. General Buller's
anxious inquiry , whether British offi
cers will ever learn the value of
scouting , comes back with , enforced
emphasis to the British public today
on receipt of tidings that a convoy
with guns has walked deliberately
into a Boer ambush within about twen
ty miles of Bloemfontein.
Lord Roberts' own report of the af
fair , if yet received by the War office ,
has not been published and no account
is available to the public except the
dispatch from Bushmankop. Nothing ,
therefore , can be said regarding the
details.
Evidently Colonel Broadwood
thought it necessary to retreat in haste
from Thaba Nchu , as he marched all
through Friday night , apparently fol
lowed by a large force of the enemy.
The forces and guns had to pass
through a deep spruit , which the Boers
had occupied.
Six of the twelve guns , comprising j
two batteries , all the wagons , and , it
is feared , many men fell into the hands
of the Boers , whose daring , displayed
BO near Bloemfontein , shows that they
are rapidly recovering heart after their
recent reverses.
The hope is expressed here that Gen
eral Colville will recover the convoy
and guns , but this is hardly likely in
such a difficult country , and it is prob
able that the next news will be that
after a stiff fight General Colville has !
extricated Colonel Broadwood from his
lifficult position , but failed to retrieve j
the disaster.
Severe criticisms are heard regard
ing the renewal of the old mistake of
underrating the Boers and the absence
at proper precaution. No doubt the af-
'air will revive Boer hopes and inspire
confidence among the enemy at a crit
ical moment.
"Great things are expected by the
Boers of the new commander-in-chief ,
[ Jeneral Botha , who has made his rep-
itation wholly during the present
jampaign. Foreign officers serving
ivith the Boers have expressed surprise
it his clever tactics. The proof of
inutinuing Boer activity in the Free
State will compel greater circumspec-
: ion on the part of the British and
ivill probably delay the march of Rob-
jrts northward.
Detailed accounts of the fight at
aree siding estimate the Boer forces
, -ariously from 3,000 to 5,000 men.
Plague Hunts Its Course.
HONOLULU , April 2. ( Via San
Francisco , Gal. ) The board of health
las practically decided that the plague
las run its course. No cases have de-
, 'eloped for over a week. The members
) f the board now feel that quarantine
estrictions regarding the shipment of
nerchandise from Honolulu , except
nerehandisc from Asiatic ports , will
je rescinded.
Chief Would Change Reservations.
WASHINGTON , April 2. Chief Jos-
jph of the Nez Perces , located on the
3olville reservation , Washington , has
iled with the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs a petition to remove his band
, o Oregon. Chief Joseph says that he
lesires to be located in the Wallowa
. 'alley , at the confluence of the Grand
ionde anil Snake rivers , near Seven
Devils mountains. He says that he has
alked with the people of that region ,
vho think it might be possible to have
lis tribe settle there.
Fortifications Measure Passed.
WASHINGTON , April 2. The house
inished up a hard week's work by
) assing the fortifications appropria-
; ion bill. Not a single amendment
; vas offered and the bill passed as it
: ame from the committee. It carries
)7,093,488. A three hours' political de-
) ate was precipitated by a general po-
itical speech by Shattuc of Ohio , many
nembers on both sides being drawn
nto it. A resolution was adopted to
e-elect the present board of managers
if the National Soldiers' home.
To Aid Sheldon's Scheme.
TOPEKA , Kan. , April 2. Governor
Stanley has given his personal en-
iorsement to Rev. Charles M. Sheldon's
troposal to send 1,000,000 bushels of
vansas corn to the starving people of
ndia and will preside over a mass
neeting in encouragement of the
novement to be held Sunday nignt.
Jr. Sheldon says he already has re-
eived one subscription of $1,000. It
5 proposed to appoint agents whose
! uty it shall be to collect the corn by
ountie ?
TARIFf BILL STILL ItN fRONT.
Intention is to Vole on the Measure
Tuesday Afternoon.
WASHINGTON , April 2. The senate
will vote upon the Porto Itican bill
Tuesday at 4 o'clock and , previous to
that time , each session of the senate ,
beginning at 11 o'clock Monday and
Tuesday , will be devoted wholly to this
bill. Speeches will be made by Sena
tors Bate , Depew , Spooner , Cullom , Ma
son , Clay and Culberson , and probably
ny other senators.
There will be a great rush of speak
ers toward the close and rhe time al
lowed is considered too short to accom
modate all who will desire to be heard.
\There is , however , no disposition to ex
tend the time agreed upoa for taking
the vote.
All but two of the committee amend
ments have been agreed to by the sen
ate. These two relate to a delegate in
congress and to citizenship , and proba
bly will be voted upon Monday.
The friends of the bill count upon
its passage by a handsome majority ,
tut it is now expected that seven re
publican votes will be cast against it ,
the seven comprising Senators Davis ,
Hoar , Mason , Nelson , Proctor , Simon
and Wellington. Senator McEnery ,
democrat , and some independent sena
tors will vote for the measure , but un
til the exact number of such votes is
known , the majority for the bill cannot
be predicted.
The taking of the vote on the Porto
Rican bill on Tuesday will displace the
Quay resolution , which was set for that
day , and Senator Chandler , chairman
of the committee on elections , has giv-
tn notice that he will postpone calling
it up until Wednesday. The committee
will adjourn the Clark hearing in order
to give its attention to the Quay reso
lution Wednesday , but as it is not ex
pected that the latter matter can be dis
posed of in one day it is probable tha
the necessity for going on with the
Clark case after Wednesday will cause
another postponement of the Quay res
clution. There are several speeches to
be made on the Quay case and there
i-j quite a noticeable disposition on the
part of some senators still further to
postpone the vote on it. Senator Pen
rose , however , announces his purpose
to press the consideration as rapidly as
1 ossible after it is once taken up.
The Quay resolution is subject to dis
placement by appropriation bills , con
ference reports and the Spooner resolu
tion for the temporary government of
the Philippines. The Philippine resolu
tion will be made the unfinished busi-
i.ess after the vote is taken on Porto
Rico , and it will give way to the Alaska
code measure.
After that it will divide the time with
appropriation bills and conference re
ports. No prolonged discussion is ex
pected on the Philippines resolution ,
cwing to the fact that it is considered
3. temporary matter , and for the further
reason that the Philippines policy has
received considerable attention in con
nection with Porto Rico.
The committee on order of business
is not yet thoroughly decided what sub
ject to take up after the disposal of the
Philippines resolution. There is strong
pressure to secure first place for the
shipping subsidy bill , and at present
rLe indications are somewhat favorable
1C that measure. The Nicaragua canal
bill is also pressing for first place and
Senator Morgan expresses strong hope
ot success.
DAVIS TO PLEAD fOR BOERS.
lie Will Keslgn as Assistant Secretary of
the Interior.
KANSAS CITY , April * . A Journal
special from Washington says :
Webster Davis of Kansas City will
tomorrow tender his resignation to the
president as assistant secretary of the
interior.
Mr. Davis decided to take this course
is the result of his visit to South Af
rica. He will deliver a public address
tonight touching the entire scope of
the present Avar and believes that he
can best do so while free form any
restraint which his present position
ivould impose upon him.
When taking his departure for home
[ rom Pretoria 2,000 people gathered to
take leave of him at the station. They
ippealed to him in tears to state their
ause to the American people and Mr.
Davis says his conscience would haunt
him if he proved recreant to that pit
iful appeal.
He believes the American people are
aot truly informed on the situation.
He will therefore avail himself of an
jarly opportunity to relate his expe
dience and observations at a public
meeting that shall be free to all.
China "Settles" for Murder.
PEKIN , April 2. The Chinese gov-
> rnment has "settled" the controversy
aver the murder of December 31 , last ,
jf the Rev. Mr. Brooks , of the Church
Missionary society on the following
: erms : Two of the murderers will be
jeheaded , one impirsoned for life one
x > r ten years , another for two years ,
i memorial chapel will be erected upon
; he site of the murder and a tablet will
je placed in Canterbury cathedral ,
England , at the expense of the Chinese
government.

HAVANA , April 2. Mrs. Wood , wife
) f the governor general , gave birth teL
L ten pound girl at the palace. Mother
ind child are doing well. The records

A NUMBER OF BRITISH CASUALTIES
One Captain Killed nnd Seven Officers
Are Among : the "Wounded English
Capture Several Kopjes Huberts Ko-
ports that the Burgher Army lias
Retreated to Uruudfort.
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
f. m. Owing the the activity of the en
emy on our immediate front and their
hostile action toward burghers who
surrendered , I 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 successfully carried
cut by the Seventh division , assisted
ly 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 , Scottish 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
remain at Bloemfontein another month
lire probably intended for Boer con
sumption and the recent movement of
troops and other indications point to
preparations being well advanced for
a forward movement.
The head of the army of Lord Rob
erts Is now about twenty-one miles
r.orth of Bloemfonteiu. It occupies a
cluster of hills won from the Boers.
The Boers have been using these
hills 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
cavalry against them.
Lord Roberts' advance to Pretoria
will probably consist of a series of rap
id forward movements , in which 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. Lord
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
Lord 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 lost 1,500
transport cattle and probably 4,000
other animals since the forward move
ment began on February 13.
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-
Ler is working smoothly and with am
ple rolling stock.
CULTON HAS NOT CONFESSED.
Wires His Father that Reports to that
Effect are False.
RICHMOND , March 31. Rev. J. N.
Culton , father of W. H. Culton ,
charged with being an accessory to

censed at what he declares is an at-
icmpt to drag his son into an alleged
conspiracy. He has received a tele-
jram fro mhis son saying : "I have
nade no confession. I have nothing
; o confess. "
Cleveland Denies a Story.
PRINCETON , N. J. , March 31.
Former President Grover Cleveland
said to an Associated Press corre
spondent relative to the reports that
lave been circulated that he had an-
lounced his intention of supporting
IV. J. Bryan for the presidency in the
coming campaign : "I do not think
: bese reports are worthy of denial , but
. ' will simply say that I have not in
my way signified to anyone what
: ourse I shall take in the next cam-
mign. "

.nd Secretary Hay about affairs con-

ordially received.
While General O'Beirne discussed

tatement that he was in an informal
nd unofficial capacity entirely.
SENATE fOR A TARIff.
Tent Vota on nil Amendment to the I'orto
KIco Tariff Hill Shows This.
WASHINGTON , March 30. A direct
vote was taken by the senate today
on the proposition to strike from the
Porto Rico measure the provision levyIng -
Ing 15 per cent of the Dlngley law
duties on Porto Rico products. The
proposition was defeated by a vote of
1C to 33.
The feature of the debate today was
the speech of Beveridge of Indiana.
While he advocated reciprocity be
tween the United States and Porto
Rico he announces that if all efforts
to secure free trade should fail he
would support the pending bill. The
bill was under discussion throughout
the session , several important amend
ments being agreed to.
The first amendment was one impos
ing a duty of 5 cents per pound upon
coffee imported Into Porto Rico. Pet-
tus of Alabama moved to strike out
the amendment , which motion involved
the question whether a tax could be
imposed on products imported into
Porto Rico which was not imposed on
the same products imported into other
ports of the United States.
Gallinger defended the amendment
of the committee. During the Spanish
regime , he said , a tariff had been im
posed on coffee imported into Porto
Rico because the coffee raised there
is regarded the best in the world and
it was desired to prevent it from being
spoiled by being blended with inferior
brands.
"If you have a free trade to mutilate
the constitution , " Pettus said , "then
you can pass this bill , but if the con
stitution means anything when it says
that taxes and duties shall be uniform
then you-have no such right. "
Pettus' amendment was defeated , 13
to 32.
Bacon offered an amendment in the
form of a substitute for sections 2 and
3 of the committee bill , establishing
the regular Dingley tariff rates of duty
on articles imported from foreign
countries into Porto Rico , and provid
ing that no duties shall be levied on
articles imported into Porto Rico from
the United States , nor into the United
States from Porto Rico. Bacon ex
plained that it was his purpose to es
tablish in Porto Rico the tariff system
in vogue in this country.
Gallinger said the bill as it stood
was infinitely more liberal than was
the amendment offered by Bacon. The
committee , said he , had only one ob
ject in view and that was to legislate
for the Porto Rican people as to ren
der them happy , contented and pros
perous.
Lindsay of Kentucky offered an
amendment to Bacon's amendment pro
viding for absolute free trade between
the United States and Porto Rico , say
ing :
"I offer this amendment because
Porto Rico is an American island ; be
cause its inhabitants are American cit
izens ; because the people were prom
ised the rights of American citizens
by General Miles and because the pres
ident and secretary of war declared
it was 'our plain duty' to give the
Porto Rican people free trade. "
Pettus then moved to strike out the
provision in section 3 providing for
a duty of 15 per cent of the Dingley
Isw rates on products of Porto Rico
imported into this country. The mo
tion of Pettus was defeated , 16 to 33.
HARRISON'S HEART WsTH BOERS.
Said to Have Written Personal Letter to
Secretary Hay
INDIANAPOLIS , March 30. A spe
cial from Washington to an afternoon
paper today , says that General Harri
son has expressed some pretty blunt
views on the Boer question and has
written a friendly , personal letter to
Secretary Hay on the subject. Eith
er in this letter or in some communi
cation , he is accredited with having
said he "hoped the Boers would find
some place on the green earth where
they would have a right to live un
molested by the British.

Tryinpr to Stir Up Germany.
BERLIN , March 30. The efforts of
nfluential Russian newspapers to show
: hat Germany's interest-j lie with Rus-
sa : and France against England are
attracting some attention here. The
Kreuze Zeitung quotes an article by
Prince Trubetzky , showing that the
Pranco-Russian alliance does not now
lave a threatening character , but Eng-
and is threatening the peace of the
yorld and that Germany , seeking a
-ew weapon in its augmented fleet ,
leeds an ally in order to enable it to
