wood, consisting of the Tenth Husssrs,
Household cavalry, two horse batteries
and force of mounted infantry under
Colonel Pitcher, which has been garri-
soning Thabanchu, was obliged, in
consequence of the near approach of a
lagre force of Beers, to leave last night.
Colonel Broadwood marched to the
Bloemfontein water works, south OF
the Modder, where he encamped at A

camp was shelled by the enemy from
a near point. Colonel Broadwood sent
off convoy with the batteries, while
the rest of the force remained to act as
a rear guard. The convoy arrived at a
deep sprut, where the Beers we've con-
cealed, and the entire body walked into
ambush and was captul ed, together
with six guns.
The loss OF life was not great, since
most of the British had walked into
the trap before shot was fired.

TRESTLE GAVE WAY
Freight Train Wrecked on
Spokane and Northern.
CARS AND CONTENTS BURNED
A Rotten Bridge Caused the Accident
The Head Brakeman Was
Severely Injured.

Springdale, Wash, April AT an
early hour this morning, the north
bound freight train on the Spokane q
Northern, consisting of an engine and
81 cars, loaded with general freight,
went through the trestle at Sheep creek,
half mile north of Springdale. Charles
Dunlap, head brakeman, was severely
injured, two ,ibs being broken. The
rest of the train crew escaped with a
few bruises. Four tramps were steal
ing ride, but none was severely hurt.
The rotten condition of the trestle is
said to have been the cause of the acci-
dent. The trestle is $50 feet long and
40 feet high.
The engine and one car had reached
the northern approach, when, without
warning, the big trestle gave way, car
rying 90 cars to the gulch below. The
caboose and eight cars remained on the
southern approach. Not timber of
the trestle was left in place. Brake
man Dunlap jumped on the lower side,
and rolled down the bank. The rest of
the train crew jumped on the upper
side, and were not hurt. The four
tramps went down with the cars, but
miraculously escaped with general
shaking up. AS soon as the cars reach
ed the bottom they caught fire. All
the cars were burned with their con-
tents

CAUSE OF PHILIPPINE REVOLT.
A Manila Reverend Says Bishop Pot
ter's Statement Is Untrue.

New York, April 4.-Rev. Joseph M.
Alque, director of the observatory at
Manila, who is now in Washington.
has issued statement in reply to Bish-
op Henry q. Potter and his secretary,
Rev. Percy S. Grant, regarding affairs
in the Philippines.
"The bishops main point" the
statement says. 'is to prove that the
religious orders have robbed the people.
But If the people pay the necessary
charges for these certificates willingly,
how can it be called robbery"
'That thousands of people live in
practical concubinage, as charged by
the bishop, is denied, although the
writer admits that some do live that
way, and asserts that there, as every
where. are found a few instances Of
that kind"
That it was the church taxes which
caused the people to revolt is emphatic
ally denied. The writer says the causes
of the revolt against the United States
are like the causes OF that against
Spain, complicated, and Bishop Pot
ter has NO right TO state that the cause
of the outbreak among the natives
against Spain was the taxation of the
religious orders and friars in the ad-
ministration of the sacrament" In
proof of this it is stated that most Of
the important parishes in the archi-
no la M ofo od,ni nj okarad hxy tha rotivao
themselves as priests, and at all the
parishes the same ecclesiastical laws
as to taxes was enforced by these secu-
lar priests, and 1t is matter of history
that nobody objected to it. Therefore
nobody can honestly state that the
cause of the rebellion of the natives
against Spain was the requiring of the
taxes in the administration OF the sac.
