Tho only dispatch from Lord Roberts
published yesterday was tho usual list of
deaths nnd sickness. The llnod of news
paper dispatches today, describing tho re
cent operations, throws no light whatever
upon tho prittont position of affairs or upon
tho great question as to when the main
ndvnnco Is to begin.
Tho Stnndnrd'fi announcement that Gen
cral Franch's cavalry Is returning to Blocm

ther hopo of catching tho retreating Doers
nnd tho London papers nre beginning to
display Impatience at tho practical fnlluro
cf tho elabroato operations of last week.
Tho Standard nays:
"It lo disheartening to find that these
rlnborato maneuver! have had ho small a ic
suit." Tho Dally Chronicle remarks:
"Wo aro reluctant to crltlclso Lord Rob-r-rts,
but It Is Impossible to shut our eyes
to tho fact that during tho last ten days
we havo gained very llttlo from our enor
mous display of force."
Without doubt theso operations havo been
of n very exhausting nature and will entail
further delay, Tho Rloonifonteln corre
spondent of tho Times, writing on March

Lord Roberts' army as a "wreck," because
it wao without horiios and without trans
port. Tho BlucmTontelii correspondent of

Is very llttlo news from other quarters.
Tho Dally Mnll publishes a Ptatement

the Biilllclcncy of th. mUtute It Is said:
"It will bo perceived that by tho pro

"Thus, It will bo sec u'.that a hearing after

PARIS, April 29. An accident within th

tho death of ulne.pcrsoiis nnd injured ulno
others. A temporary bridge broke, falling
upon tho crowdu underneath.
Tho dead nro six men, two women and
ono child.
Ono woman and n child aro unidentified.
Tho accident threw n pall over tho hap
ptncfd of an Immense throng which had
profited by the magnificent weather to visit
tho exposition. Today's was probably tho
record attendance. Not merely the Interior
of the crouuds but tho precincts nlso wcro
crowded nnd tho concourse was particularly
great nlong tho Avenuo do Sufren, which
forms the northern boundary of the grounds.
Hero Is situated n big sideshow tha
Ccle-sttal Globe. A fcotbrldge, ou which tha
finishing toucheu were' being put today,
ciosscs tho Avenuo do Sufren, conne-ctlne
tho sideshow with tho exhibition. It was
constructed of wood, with a stucco facado
and with a pluster-mado tower at each end.

Strangely enough, tho bridge had been
couduuined only this morning as unsafe- by
tho exposition authorities. Tho public wan
therefore not allowed to go upon the struc
ture and In this way a disaster even mora
terrible than that which occurred waa
averted. .
Tho gay crowd was passing along tha
avenuca and somo hundred or mora per
sons wero walking beneath tho bridge when
suddenly an ominous crash was heard. Be

Btructuro fell with a fearful crash, burylna

A shout of horror rose from the spectators,
mingled with tho cries of tho victims. For
a moment nothing could be dlstlngulsh-d
but a cloud of dust nnd plaster. A scene!
of the greatc.it excitement nnd confusion,
followed.
But this was only for a few seconds.
Almost Immediately tho cro-vd attacked tha
debris In an effort to relasu those lylnff
beneath.
Tho workmen within tho grounds who had
witnessed tho accident, tho police and tho
republican guards, together with quite a
number of soldiers, Joined In tho rescue
work. Tho promenadcra forgot their Sun
