That IS, the Six Guns and Men
CIeyerIy Captured by Beers,
LATEST BRITISH VICTORY.
That North Of Bloemfontein Not

that MAY Excite France.
lEarly Dispatched


New York, April A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says
The wonderful run Of success which
for so long attended the movements OF
the British army In South Africa was
broken on saturday. when COL Broad
woods troops walked into Boer am
bush east Of Bloemfontein The loss
OF guns ls not In itself a very serious
matter. and. indeed. the mishap is not
OF Intrinsic military Importance, but
its moral effect may be considerable
Many Beers VINO had been disheartened
by successive defeats viii now recover
their spirits and fight wl,h renewed
vgor.
It is not by any means clear how the
affair happened, but probably when
Commandant Onyier's force retreated
through Ladybrand, q strong detach-
ment was left there to watch the Brit
ish flank, and this detachment has
scored a success. OF course the Beers
may yet be prevented from carrying
Of the captured guns and wagons. but
unless General Colvile can delay them
they will make good their retreat.
Owing. no doubt. 20 the fact that the
action al Karoe Kloof. north OF Glen.
last Thursday was not of great import
ance the military censor has dealt
lightly with the copy Of the various
war correspondents describing 70. Cen
eral Roberts evidently desired 20 bring
about the surrender Of The whole force
Of Beers but they succeeded no getting
away over the fat country with all
their guns and wagons.
The escape OF the Beers is attributed
by the Standards correspondent 10 the
delay of the cavalry In completing the
encIrClug movement General French
being under the impression that the
Beers had already gone on the whole.

The Impression prevails In many quar-
ters that q column has crossed the
Naal and is marching northward 10

cial Information mas been received to
that effect. The most northery point
that any British force Is known TO

the assertion that even the unsuccess-

Democratic success upon new issues
with a candidate representing them
"rhe Republican contention Is that
Congress, when legislating for any part
OF the United States outside OF the
