LONDON, April 2.-12:50 p. m.-The
war Office reports that Col. Broadwood
lost seven guns and all his baggage IN
the ambush laid for him by the Beers
on Saturday. The casualties number
$50.
The wal Office has received the fol-
lowing dispatch from Lord Roberts,
dated Bloemfontein, April L:
Il received news late yesterday
afternoon from Col. Broadwood, who
was at Theba N'Chu, thirty-eight miles
east of here, that information had
reached him that the enemy was APP
preaching in two forces from the north
and east. He stated that if the report
proved true, he would retire towards
the water works, seventeen miles
nearer Bloemfontein, where we have
had a detachment of mounted infan-
try for the protection of the works.
.'Broadwood was told in reply that
the Ninth division, with Martyrs
mounted infantry, will march at day
light to-day to support him, and that
If he considers it necessary he should
retire from the water works. He NOV
ed there during the night and bivou-
acked. At dawn to-day he was shelled
by the enemy, who attacked on three
sides. He Immediately dispatched two
horse artillery batteries and his bag
-oo1 +ourorI DInan,fnnt0iD pOUprinp
some of them with his cavalry.
fSome two miles from the water
works the road crosses a deep nullah,
or spruit, in which during the night a
force of Beers had concealed them
selves. So we'll were they hidden that
our leading scouts passed over the
drift without discovering them, and
it was not until the wagons and guns
were entering the drift that the Beers
, showed themselves and opened fire.
Many of the drivers of the artillery
horses were Immediately shot down at
short range and several of the guns
were captured. The remainder gal
loped away, covered by Roberts,
horse, which suffered heavily.
Meanwhile. Lieut.. Chestermasters,
of Remington's scouts, found a passage
across the spruit unoccupied by the en-
envy, by which the remainder of Broad
woods force crossed. They reformed
with great steadiness, Notwithstanding
all that had previously occurred.
"Broadwood's report, which has just
reached me, and which contains no de-
tails, stated that he had lost seven
guns and all his baggage. He estim-
ated all his casualties at about $50, in
Guiding 200 missing.
"On hearing this morning that
Broadwood was hard pressed, l imme-
diately ordered Gen. French, with two
remaining cavalry brigades, to follow
in support of the Ninth division. The
latter, after a magnificent march, ar
rived at the scene of action shortly
after 2 y. m.
"Broadwood's force consisted of the
Royal Household cavalry, the Tenth
Hussars, G and U batteries of the Roy
al Horse artillery. and Pitchers bat
talon of mounted infantry.
The strength of the enemy is es-
timated at from 5000 to 10000. with
guns, the number of which is not yet
reported"

DUBLIN, April 2.-All Dublin, and
in truth. all Ireland, is on the qui vive
in anticipation of the Queens coming.
Crowds are pouring In from all points
and 1t is estimated that the normal
population of Dublin, about 1850. 600.
will, by Wednesday, have swollen to
1000 900. Rooms are at a premium.
By the exercise of the greatest pos

have practically destroyed sectional

doubt that Her Majesty will be vel

Representative Nationalist here
when questioned to-day by a cores
pendent of the Associated Press re-
garding the placard inviting citizens
TO Join a procession of Nationalist So
cieties on the night OF the Queens ar
rival as a protest against it, disowned
all knowledge Of this attempt at a
counter-attraction and alleged that
such a procession would amount 70
nothing.
The attitude Of all the prominent
Nationalist whom the Associated
Press correspondent has interviewed,
is that Earl Cadogan. the Lord Lieu
tenant will be taken at his word and
the royal visit will be made a national
occasion, although 1t will be and must
be utterly non-politicaI.

Comte De Luborsac, threatening to

THE COURTS AT WORK.
Grand Jury at Frankfort Invcstigat-
ing the Goebel Assa ssination-Ar-
guments at Louisville.

FRANKFORT. KY, April 2.-The
April term of the Franklin Circuit
Court and the grand jury working I'M
der it, which will investigate the assas-
sination of Governor Goebel, began
work this afternoon.
Judge Cantrill's charge to the grand
jury was brief and devoid of anything
of a sensational nature.
While nothing was said by Judge
Cantrill in his charge concerning it, it
is understood that Commemorative
Attorney Franklin will recommend the
bringing in of indictments against Re-
publican Governor Taylor and all of
the other Republican State officers. on
the charge of usurpation of the offices
they are claiming to hold. During
the court preliminaries, Attorney
James Andrew Scott, for the Demo-
Gratis, filed an amended position IN
the case of the Democratic State Off
GERS, other than Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor, against the defend
ants, in which damages for alleged
usurpation and unlawful retention of
the offices in dispute are asked.
The suit of Alonzo Walker against
Republican Governor Taylor and Adju-
tant General Collier for 5000 was
called, but the defendants had not
filed answer and the case was passed.
Walker was arrested by the militia
while serving a civil process on Gov.
Taylor a few days after the assassin
alton of Goebel, and was held as a
prisoner several days.
The military authorities to-day noti-
fed Sheriff Suter that he or his depu-
ties may enter the capitol grounds for
the purpose of serving processes of a
civil nature, but that they will not be
permitted to serve criminal papers
within the capitol gate.
]. L. Sutton, of Whitney county, and
w. L. Hayslip, of Grayson county, who
are under $40, 900 bond each, arrived
here to-day. Their cases will go be-
fore the grand jury.
Richard Combs, alias '"Tallow Dick"
was brought here from Beattyville to-
day. He denied any knowledge of a
conspiracy to kill Goebel.
The gatling guns which have been
located in the State House yard. were
this afternoon removed and mounted
inside the executive building, where
the main body of the Republican
troops are quartered. The military Of
ficers decline to state what expected
change in the situation prompted this
action.

LONDON, April 8, 1910 a. m
Queen Victoria left Windsor at hall
past nine last evening en- route for

Not in the history OF the Great West

have greater precautions ever been OBJ
served to protect the royal train than
those which have been perfected when
Her Majesty started northward to-
night. These officials who have uper-
intended the transportation of Cars,
Kaisers and the princes of all nations
in and III of Windsor, have exerted
themselves beyond precedent to insure
the safety of the royal train between
Windsor and Holyhead.
Royal trains run at night, but tho
Queen, who is especially adverse to
fast travel, stipulated that the trip
should occupy eleven hours although it
IS usually covered in six, This slow
ness at a time when traffic is slightest
was one of the reasons for deciding
upon a night run.
The officials of the line will have
little sleep tonight. Station masters.
operators and track inspectors at ev-
cry station along the route. no matter
how small, are imperatively required
to be on duty half an hour before the
royal train was due, to examine per-
sonally as TO signals and switches n
to see that all was in proper working
order.
The pilot Of the engine named
Prince of Wales ran a quarter OF
an hour ahead of the royal train and
after its passage all tracks were kept
absolutely clear.

About the Recapture of the British

Among British Officers and Men.

London, April 2.-:55 p. m.-The
war Office has received another dis
patch from Lord Roberts dated at
Bloemfontein, Sunday, April LIST, sis
d. M, in which, after referring to his
previous telegram, he gives a partial
list of the missing British officers. Of
20" battery, four officers were wound
ed. two of whom are missing. One gum
ner was killed and forty non-commis-
stoned officers and men were wounded
or missing"
Lord Roberts continues:
"In " battery all are missing ex-
cept Major Taylor and a sergeant ma
jor. The two cavalry regiments did
not suffer so much.
"a report has just come in that the
enemy has retired towards Ladysmith.
leaving twelve wounded officers and
some seventy men at the water works.
We are now sending an ambulance for
them"
1t will be noticed that in the fore
going advices Lord Roberts says moth
ing in regard to the British guns be-
ing recaptured.

The Beers who were hidden in the
spruit when the British guns were cap
tured yesterday We're commanded by
Reyesman, a German-American.
The Beers retired this morning when
they discovered the British scouts
leaving Dutch fn1lary attaches, one
of them dangerously wounded, in the
hands of the British. All the wounded
are dong we'll.
Everyone agrees that but for Col.
Broadwood's splendid handling of his
troops. not a member of the force
would have escaped. The Beers are
still holding the water works and the
line of hills behind them.
The foregoing dispatch settles the
disputed point, arising from the dis
crepancy in the dispatch from Bush
mans Kop of Saturday. and Lord Rob-
erts dispatch of yesterday, referring to
the time the engagement between the
British and the Beers occurred which
is now shown to be Saturday and not
