DE LAS MAQUINAS.

I'm ObServador atento creera q.
un taller de acepillar, la lubricacion
de las maquinas no recibe del obre-
70 la atenci6n que este importante
ramO merece 8 que no 10 comprende.
La cantidad de aceite que Sc le
echa & una acepilladora no es un ar
gumento, nj una regla que seguir,
nj mucho menos una prueba de que
la maquina este bien aceitada.
Las maquinas para la elabora
ci6n de la MADEIRA, necesitan mas
cuidado en- este respecto que cual-
qu1er otra maquina, & causa del pol
vo flno que constantemente produce

El tempo que una maquina ira

cipalmente del cuidado que Sc tenga

London, March 13.-10:05 a. m.-The
war Office has received the following ad-
ditional dispatch from Lord Roberts at
Venter's Welt:
"Our march was again unopposed. We
are now about IS miles from Bloemfon-
tein. The cavalry division is astride the
railway six miles south of Bloemfontein
There are 321 men wounded. About 60 or
70 men were killed or are missing.
Colonel Umpheley has died Of his
wounds. Lieutenant Pratt of the Essex
regiment was wounded severely. The
wounds are as a rule more serious than
usual. owing to the expanding bullets
which are freely used by the Boers''

London. March 13.-Lord Roberts tele-
graphs from Venter's Welt at 9:20 o'clock
this morning as follows:
II directed General French, if there
were time to seize the railway station
at Bloemfontein, and thus secure the
rolling stock. At midnight received a
report from him that after considerable
opposition he had been able to occupy
two hills close to the railway station,
which commanded Bloemfontein. A
brother of President Steyn has been
made a prisoner. The telegraph line
leading northward has been cut and the
railway broken up. I am now starting
with the Third cavalry brigade, which I
called up from the Seventh division near
Petersburg yesterday, and the mounted
infantry to reinforce the cavalry division.
The rest Of the force will follow as

any Englsn 'hO might be in the
town from n of the threatened
| fighting. I.- were two Englishmen
in Legaspie, but the Filipinos declined to
allow them to leave.
Then the Plovers boat returned and
during the subsequent fighting, the Eng
lish gunboat remained half mile out Of
the bay.
Captain Bradley, quartermaster cap
| tain of the Hancock, was on board the
Nashville with General Kobbe. He was
sent to the Venus to learn why that ship
did not back into the dock as directed.
| The Spanish captain of the Venus again
explained how long this operation would
| take and Captain Bradley went back to
the Nashville to report. From him it
was learned that the F'ilipinos had re-
moved the planking in the docks, leaving
only the bamboo stringers. This they
had seen from the Nashville. Soon Cap
tain Bradley returned saying that the
landing would be made at point about
half a mile down the beach. to the north
of Legaspie and about 500 yards beyond
the end of the heavy sand intrenchments,
that this landing party would advance
into the town and that the Nashville
would shell the enemy's works in front
of our men as they came along the beach.
Then there was much hustle and activ-
ity on board the Venus, as details of the
sharpshooters from each of the four COM
pan.es were loaded into our own three
available boats and the two boats sent
over from the Nashville to help in the
landing.
Our men embarked from our starboard
side of the ship exposed to the enemys
trenches, only 600 yards away. The ene-
my missed splendid opportunity to do
great execution to our soldiers. But
they have missed many such, first and
last, SO we are accustomed to taking
these risks. Our landing party pulled
away toward the Castellano, which had
taken UP position opposite the point
where the landing was to be made. Here
our five boats were joined by two from
the Castellano and the landing party was
composed as follows: About 30 men
from Company H. Captain Bentley. COM
manding; 40 men from Company G, Cap
tain Simmons, commanding; 20 men from
Company F, under Lieutenant Murphy:
25 men from Company F, under Lieuten,
ant Smyzer, and about 60 men from Com
pany c, under Captain Bishop.
Major Shipton commanded the land
ing party and was accompanied by Cap
tain Bradley and Lieutenants Conroy and
Gisser, of the Forty-third infantry.
At 25 minutes past 10, it could be seen
through the fine mist like rain that the
seven landing boats were close to the
beach. Then we looked ashore to dis
cover number of detachments Of Fili-
pinos moving to the north behind the
trenches, evidently intending to repel the
advance OF our landing party into THE
town. At that instant the Nashville
opened fire on the trenches with shrapnel
at 500 yards range.
From this time until the end of the
fighting at 1915 p. M, the Nashville kept
up an almost continuous fusilade Of
shrapnel and rapid fire guns, directed
against the trenches and fortified points
on shore.
