CAUGHT IN A TRAP
Beers Surround and Capture a
British Convoy.
loss OF LIFE NOT CONSIDERED GREAT


A Bushman Kop, Saturday, March
commanded by Col. Broadwood, con-
sisting Of the Tenth Hussars, House
hold cavalry, two horse batteries and
a force of mounted infantry under Col.
Pitcher, which had been garrisDning
Thaba N'Chu, was obliged, in conse-
quence Of the near approach Of a large
force of Beers TO leave last night.
Col. Broadwood marched to the
Bloemfontein waterworks, south OF
the Moddcr, where he encamped at 4
o'clock this morning.
At early dawn the camp was shclled
by the enemy from a near point. Col.
Broadwood ser off a convoy with the
batteries, while the rest of the force
remained To act as a real guard.
The convoy arrived at a deep spruit,
where the Beers were concealed. and
the entire body walked into ambush
and was. captured on the ground with
Six runs. The loss of life was not
great, since many of the British had
walked into the trap before a shot was
fired.
Gen. Colvillc's division which left
Bloemfontein early this morning ar
rived here at noon and he is now she'll
ing the Beers.
A London dispatch of April I'd says:
Lord Roberts report of the above af-
fair, IL received by the war Office, has
not been published, and no account Of
the affairs is available to the public ex-
ccrt the dispatch from Bushman kop.
Nothing can be said, therefore, regard
ing the exact extent of the British
misfortune.
Six of twelve guns, comprising two
batteries, all the wagons, and il is
feared, many men fell into the hands
of the Beers, whose daring displayed
so near Bloemfontein, shows that they
are rapidly recovering heart after their
recent rcverses.
Severe criticisms are heard regard
ing the renewal of the old mistake of
undertaking the Beers and the absence
of proper precautions. No doubt the
affairs will revive Boer hopes and in
spire confidence among the enemy at a
critical moment.

The senate committee on commerce

From this 1t appears that. in so far of
a country as Russia, American manu-
facturers are competing successfully
with their German and English rivals
and that American bicycles. agricul-
tural machinery. steam engines and
tools in general are extensively sold

two and one-half million dollars and
