to $4,000 coal miners in the Pittsburgh
district and $500 in the Irwin district

BATTLE EXPECTED.
Gen. French Said to Be About to At
tack the BOerS--Littlc Hope of Re
covering Captured Guns.

London, April 4.-That Il great bat
tie is impending east OF Bloemfontein
is indicated i'll nearly all the dispatches
from the front this morning. The
Bocrs continue TO hold the water
works, while French is guarding the
drift on Waterfall Sprui,. one OF the
three or four streams forming the
source of the Nodder. French is ex-
pected to make an attack on the Boer
position at any hour.
London, April I.--No news has yet
been received of the expected battle
between Gen. French and the Beers.
There is now but a remote prospect OF
the recapture Of the guns. This, how
ever, is regarded as quite tritling COM
pared with the political effects OF the
disaster. AS the l'loemfontcin corrc-
spondcnt Of the Times remarks, Com
mandant Olivier's strategy in reoccu-
pying Ladybrand and I'ha bu N'Chu was
bold and even brilliant. Most Of his
force is composed of Free Statcrs and
the advantage gained by them will
have a most disturbing effect on the
mind of the Free State population.
The impossibility of etfccting com
plete prot ection, for the moment. to all
farmers in the south and southeast
sections of the Free State is recog-
nized at Bloemfontein. Men who sur
rendered under the proclamation of
Lord Roberts are now being punished
for the reliance they placed in the abil-
ity OF the British to protect them. AS
the correspondent further remarked,
this is hard fate, and every possible
effort will be made to help them but
consideration for the sufferings of re.
pentant belliger.nts at the hands of
their fellow countrymen cannot be suf-
fered to pre-. e.iudice the military plans of
Lord Roberts,
1t is announced from Springfontein
that the censorship has again curtailed
the dispatches. Therefore important
developments must be impending.
The British public is reluctant to be-
-liese led the i5oc1
