Ambush of Broadwood's Men Proved
Most DisustrOus

London, April 2, 1880 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 numbered 350
The war office has received the follow
ing dispatch from Lord 'Roberts, dated
Bloemfontein, April /:
Il received news late yesterday after
noon from Col. Broadwood, who was at
Thabanchu, thirty-eight miles east of
here, that information had reached him
that the enemy was approaching in two
forces, from the north and the east He
stated if the report proved true he would
retire toward the water works seventeen
miles nearer Bloemfontein where we had
a detachment of mounted infantry for the
protection of the works
"Broadwood wes told in reply that the
Ninth division, with Martyrs mounted in
fantry, would march at daylight to-day
TO support him, and that If he considers it
necessary he should retire to the water
works. He moved there during the night
and bivouacked. Al dawn to-day he was
shelled by the enemy. who attacked on
three sides. He Immediately dispatched
two horse artillery batteries and his bag
gage toward Bloemfontein, covering some
of them with his cavalry
Some two miles from the water works
the road crosses a deep mullah, or spruit.
in which during the night a force of
Beers had concealed themselves. So wek
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 guns were cap
tured. The remainder galloped away.
covered by Roberts horse, which suffer-
ed heavily.
Meanwhile Lieut.. Chestermasters of
Remington's scouts, found a passage
across the spruit unoccupied by the enc
my, 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 estimates all
his casualties at about $50, including 200
missing.
"On hearing this morning that Broad
wood was hard pressed Immediately or
dered Gen. French with two remaining
cavalry brigades TO follow in support of
the Ninth Division The latter, after a
magnificent march, arrived on the scene
of action shortly after p. m.
"Broadwood's force consisted OF the
Royal Household Cavalry the Tenth
Hussars, two batteries of the Royal
Horse Artillery and Pitchers battalion
of mounted infantry.
"The strength of the enemy Is estimated
at from 5000 to 10000. with guns the
number of which is not yet reported"

London, April 3.-The Bloemfontein cor

of the convoy, says:
1.-THE Beers opened with a murderous
fire. 1t was simply slaughter. The Kafir
drivers of the convoy ran away, leaving
their teams, and II was impossible for our
men to hit the hidden enemy.
"Our gunners fought bravely trying to
save the guns, but our people were greatly
hampered by the Kaffirs, who ran hither
and thither looking for cover from the
fearful fire that poured in on all sides.
Meanwhile the enemy were hotly pressing

"The water supply was cut and the

recaptured. The whole force is retiring on

QUEEN STARTS FOR DUBLIN.
extraordinary Precautions Taken to
Protect Her Train.

London, April 8, 12:10 a. m.-Queen Vic
toria left Windsor at $50 o'clock last even
ing en- route for Ireland. Her Majesty is
accompanied by Princess Christian and
Princess Henry of Battenberg and is at
tended by the Countess of Antrim, Hon.
Harriet Phipps. Sir Arthur Biggs. private
secretary to the Queen; Sir Fleetwood Ed
wards, keeper of Her Majesty's privy
purse, and Capt. Ponsoby.
Not in the history of the Great Western
London and Northwestern railways have
greater precautions ever been observed to
protect the royal train. Every possib e
precaution has been taken to insure the
safety of the royal train between Windsor
and Holyhead.
Royal trains seldom run at night but
the Queen, who Is especially adverse to
fast travel, stipulated that the trip should
occupy eleven hours, although it is usual
ly covered in six. The slowness at a time
when traffic is lightest was one of the rea-
sons for deciding upon a night run.
Preparations had been in hand for
weeks, and the train had already run
every foot of the route and every particle
of the apparatus of the train aad the
track had been subjected 10 the most care
full inspection.
The railroad officials will have little
sleep tonight. Officials and employees are
at every station along the route, no mat
ter how small, on duty half an hour before
the royal train was due, TO examine per-
sonally as 10 signals and switches, and to
see that all was in proper working order
The pilot engine named prince Of
Wales" ran quarter of an hour ahead of
the royal train, and after it's passage all
tracks were kept absolutely clear.
The royal train was drawn by two To-
comotives, with expert engineers and a
complete staff of machinery experts and
electricians accompanied the train for
immediate action in case anything should
go wrong
