hearty, vigorous old men at the tables

OUR THREE NEW BATrLEsuIPs.
Bids To he Called for on These big
Fighting Engines.


Washington, April 2.-The naval board
of construction to-day finally approved
the plans for the three battleships author
lied by the last Congress. and gave in
structions to have the specihca lions pre-
pared at once, preliminary to calling for
bids from the shipbuilders.
The board has settled upon a design
very similar 40 the plan originally pro-
posed. The ships viii be enlarged Iowas
in type, with the rectangular superstruc-
ture and the two turrets, bow
and stern on the main deck
The turret guns will be twelve
inch caliber like the Iowa's guns:
there will be turret az each corner of
the superstructure carrying two s-inch
guns and twelve 6-inch rapid-frers will
be disposed along the sides of the cen
<rai citadel. To carry all this armament
the armor and the engines and boilers to
give the ship nineteen knots speed will
require q displacement of about Is, 800 TONS
making these new ships by far the largest
in the United States navy and as big as
the latest type of British armored cruiser
A. the constructors are limited In the
draft Of our shallow harbors to a little
over twenty-five feet and as seventy i've
feet represents about the greatest beam
consistent with speed. ID will be neces-
sary to provide for the weights by Civ
ing these 81 ips more length than the Iowa
class, and they will be almost 40 feet
long
The secondary batteries will be made up
largely Of 1l-pounders and altogether che
ships will be more than equal TO any war
ships Of their size Ia the worlds navles.

BoERs RETIRED F4uRRIEDLY.
How the English Drove Them Away
From Leeuw KOp.


From Leeuw kOp.
Leeuw Kop, Monday, April 23.-The
Beers retired from their positions here
so hurriedly that they left a quantity of
ammunition and many rifles behind them.
When the Warwickshire Regiment took
the farm house at the foot of the ridge,
the Beers pompoms inficting no dam
age, the Welsh Regiment advanced along
the Warwickshire's left and approached
the ridge, experiencing cross fire.
When the Beers fed they were obliged
to move for some distance along the sky
l'ne, and the artillery planted a shell
with great accuracy, it bursting just
above the Beers, rolling over three horses.
Gen. Dickson met with opposition, the
Beers firing their rifles at long range.
Their position was one of great natural
strength.
Gen. Pole-Carew's admirable disposi-
ton of his force thoroughly puzzled the
Beers, who were unable to zee the direc-
ton of the attack owing to a deep spruit
The British artillery was unable to Join
the right in time to reply to the Boer
gun which was Smelling the mounted in
fantry vigorously. Shells, however, burst
800 yards high and did no damage.
1t is stated that Gen. DeWet holds the
water works with a strong force. The
Beers who held Leeuw kop trekked to
the eastward Gen. French sent out a
body of cavalry to the south and a few
shots were heard; but apparently, the
Beers did not hold a strong position in
close proximity to Leeuw kop.

A JOCKEY FATALLY INJURED.
FrightfuI Accident on the Aaue-
duct Race Track.

New York, April PA frightful acct
dent happened at the Aqueduct race track
to-day in which Jockey Frank O'Leary
was fatally injured, and two other boys
were badly shaken up.
1t occurred in the fifth race, and in a

Gaping with slight bruises
Pettifogger, Hewitt up, bumped into
Wightman as the latter was falling and
went up into the air. turning a somer-
sault and landing on his back Hewitt es-
capped out of harms way.
O'Leary, however, was not so fortunate,
for Randy, which he was riding, stumbled
into the pair of horses on the ground and
threw O'Leary among them. He was kick
ed in the head by one of them and his
head crushed in. An ambulance was call
ed, the doctor saying that il was unlikely
that he would live 20 reach the hospital.
A short time afterward Jockey O'Leary
died from his injuries
The three horses escaped with severe in
juries, which are not thought to be Sc
rious, although they are not likely to race
for some time.

TRANSV AL WILL NOT YIELD.
Leon Says Beers Will Fight After
Their Country is Annexed.

Paris, April 24.-Capt. Leon, the French
engineer who had charge of the Boer ar
tillery and engineers and who was shot
in the head during the siege of Kimber-
ley. arrived at Marseilles to-day. In an
interview he described the Beers as
splendid artillerists." He said they never
had more than from $4,000 to 10000 men
under arms, and of these they had lost
only 5000, of whom only 500 had been
killed.
an my opinion" said Capt. Leon, 'un-
less the Beers win an important victory
near Boemfontein, they must be beaten
in the end, and although Pretoria could
withstand a long siege, because II still
possesses cannon and emplacements for
those temporarily withdrawn ! believe
the plan Of the Beers is to take refuge
in the mountainous region 10 the north
which Is practically inaccessible, rather
than to defend Pretoria az the risk of a
heavy loss of life and the exposure Of
the population to the fire Of the British
gwen when Great Britain declares the
Transvaal annexed, the Beers will never
yield, and an army Of 10000 Will be need

Pretoria, April 2S.-An official bulletin
issued here to-day says:

"Gen. DeWet's losses at DeWetsdorp
were one man killed and six men wounded
Twenty British were captured, besides the
killed and wounded. The British appear
to be retiring beyond DeWetsdorp.
"Cronje reports that with a strong COM
mando he attacked the British northeast
of Boshof. A heavy engagement followed
and the English were driven from kopje
to kopje The F'ederals displayed great
courage and resolution, and spiritedly
chased the enemy in the direction of
Boshof. Only two burghers were wounded
The British lost fifteen men killed and left
three wounded and eight prisoners in the
hands of the burghers."
The Cronje referred to is undoubtedly
Commandant Cronje, the second son Of
