BRYAN AND DEWEY.

New York, April 4.-Dewey s
announcement today that he is a
candidate for the presidential
nomination startled the polite
ians in both parties.
1t is admitted on all sides that
the injection of his name as a
presidential possibility will up
set all states and make a vast
difference in the coming cam
paign.
The question is eagerly asked
What side is he on.
1t is expected that Dewey will
clear up that point when he an
nounces positively his politics.
Some leading democrats said
today dewey will be acceptable
to the gold democrats, and we
may expect German, Croker and
Cabal to come into the Dewey
camp. 1t will now be straight
out fight between Dewey and
Bryan. Bryan is mighty strong,
aud the ticket may read Bryan
and Dewey"

m COMMAND
Reichman Led the Beers Who AM
bushed Broadwood's Men.

| Bushman Kop, April 3.-The
Beers who were hidden in the
Spruit when the British guns
were captured Saterday were
commanded by Reichman, a
German-American.
The Beers retired this morn
ing when they discovered the
British scouts, leaving two Dutch
military attaches-one of them
dangerously wounded-in the
hands CT the British. All the
wounded are doing we'll.
Everyone agr ees that but for
Col. Brodawood's s splendid hand
ling of his troops not a member
of the force would have escaped.
The Beers are still holding the
waterworks and the line of hills
behind them.
Following the scouts of Gen.
French's cavalry division, to the
scene of battle, this correspon-
dent witnessed one of the most
terrible spectacles of the war.
Horses lay stiffened in the vari
Gus attitudes of sudden death,
and mingled among them were
ghastly human bodies, with the
wrecks of wagons and food and
forage scattered wide. Every
thing told of terrible tale of
surprise and carnage.
1t would oe impossible to con-
ceive anything more ingenious
than the Boer trap, and the-o only
wonder is that a single man es-
capped. On crossing the Spruit
where the ground rises immedi-
ately toward grassy knoll, with
stony slopes facing the drift, one
came to an inclosure from which
it was possible to fire over the
drift. At this point the Spruit
makes a circular bend, while the
south embankment, which is
protected by the partially con-
structed railway embankment,
enables the enemy to pour in a
CALLING fire on three sides, as
well as a double tier of fire in
front.
When the convoy was first at
tackled scene of fearful confu
sion followed. The mules STAN
peded and the wagons were
overturned, while the concealed
enemy poured In a deadly fire.
When the first battery appeared
the Beers seemed undesirous of
continuing the slaughter and
called on the British to surren-
der. At that moment, however.
B battery, which was escaping
from the rear of the convoy un-
der heavy fire. wheeled into ac-
ton and began shelling the Beers
with the four remaining guns.
The Beers confess that this bat
terry accounted for five killed
and nine wounded of their losses.
Early in the afternoon the
Beers collected about the convoy
began removing the guns and
wagons and permitted the collec-
tion of the British dead and
wounded. Our actual casualties
we're less than had been expected.
Despite this regrettable Incl
dent, 1t is impossible not TO ad-
mire the gallant manner in which
the little force was able to extri-
cate itself from an almost hope
less position.
The foregoing dispatch settles
the disputed point, arising from
the discrepancy in the dispatch
from Bushman's Kop of Satur-
day and Lord Roberts dispatch
OF yesterday referring to the
time that the engagement occur
red, which is now shown to be
Saturday, and not Sunday, as
might have been inferred from
the message of the commander
;p-chief.

DEWEY FOR PRESIDENT

Washington, April 4.-Thro1gh
one of his secretaries, Admiral
Dewey declares the interview
published in the World, express
ing his willingness to accept the
nomination for the presidency,
if the American people desire it,
is correct.
sit is the highest honor in the
gift of this nation. What citi-
zen could refuse it? l am also
convinced he is quoted as say
ing, "that the Office of president
is not such very difficult one
to fill, his duties being manly to
execute the laws of congress.
"Should l be chosen for this
exalted position l would execute
the laws of congress as faithful
ly as | have executed the orders
of my superiors.
Being asked on what platform
he would stand, Admiral Dewey
stated he, was busy, and thought
he had said enough at this time;
possibly too much.

Washington, November l2-The COVER
nor of Morocco has again declined to
meet the demands OF the United States,
payment of an indemnity en account OF
the killing by mob OF Marcus Essagin,
naturalized American citizen. The
last request was made by u. s. Consul
Gummere, and the declination of the
government of Morocco was accompanied
By an intimation OF its freedom from
liability under the terms of the convsn-
tion between Morocco and Spain. The
state department has come to the con-
cIusion that tns consurs representations
will be more effective II ne is supported
morally by the presence in Moroccan
waters of United States warship and
it is probable that he will make his visit
to the Fez TO again present the case as a
passenger on a vessel to be selected by

BowDO1N REFUSES TO GIVE IN.

Brunswick, November ls.-on Monday
the largest meeting of the term was held
q. Bowdoin to decide the question OF
whether Bowdoin's foot ball team should
play the Bates team. Bowdoin voted
unanimously not to play Bates except
on the consideration set down In Mana
ger Berry's recent letter, namely. to di-
vide the gate receipts equally up to $500.
and over that to give the visiting team
one-third of the receipts and the home
team two-thirds, or to play for sport, and
t,'give the gate receipts to the two hos
pitfalls In Lewiston.
The sentiment Of the meeting was that
Bowdoin had negotiated long enough
with Bates over this matter and that this
vote was final. This decision of the
student body meets with the entire ap
proyal of the Bowdoin alumni. II Bates
refuses TO accept this proposition, 1t win
yery likely cause rupture in all athletic
relations between the two colleges.
