GEN. BAYARD'S DEATH.
1t Took Place on the Left of the Lines at
fredericksburg 2dN. Y. Cav.'s Part.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l saw
recently sketch of the I'd (Harris Light
n. Y. Cav. by Willard GlaZier. He speaks
of that regiment belonging to Bayard's s
Brigade at fredericksburg, Dec. IL, 1862
and says it supported artillery on the
right; also, that Bayard fell mortality wound
ed in front of his command. Bayard was
fine soldier, and. like another soldier OF
medieval times, was without fear and
without reproach; but Capt Glazler Is much
mistaken.
Bayard lay on the grass back of the
lin, who. commanded Burnsides Left
Grand Division, had his headquarters.

sonal friend. When they We're called to

as he did so round shot from one OF Jack

struck the General in the thigh, wounding
him mortally.
This was oh the extreme left of the Union
lines. In or3er u support artillery on the
right the I'd y. Y. Cav. would have had to
recross the Rappahannock, to the front
of the city on Stafford flights, where the
guns of the Center and Right Grand Di-
visions were placed, with the exception of
a part of Hazards Battery. which was
taken across and went into action to the
right OF the Telegraph Road, or Hanover
Street. but so1n retired, after losing heavily
in men and! horses. The total loss at
Fredericksburg in Bayard's Cavalry Bri-
gade was one killed and three wounded.

BlOemfontein was taken on March 13.
Roberts announced the news to the English
people in these words: by the help of God
and by the bravery OF her majesty's soldiers
the troops under my command have taken
possession of Bloemfontein. The British
flag now flies over the presidency, eyacuat-
ed last evening by Mr.. Steyn, late Presi-
dent of the Orange Free State. Mr..

BRITISH SUCCESSES.
Roberts Takes BlOemfontein and
Prepares to Marcel, on Pretoria.

The fall OF Bloemfontein was the most
important event of the past o.days. AS
indicated in our last issue Roberts's ad-
vance toward Bloemfontein across the
scorchng plain to Driefontcin from Poplar
Grove was marked by the most servere
engagement on March 10 since crossing
the Modder River The Beers stubbornly
contested every foot of ground, only fleeing
at dusk. when Roberts threw most of his
troops against the center of their weakened
line. The Beers left 1o2 dead and dc
prisoners. Their reports say no accurate
returns of their losses are available.
Roberts says of the English losses that
there were 32I men wounded and 81 were
killed: that the wounds are. rs u rule. more
serious than usual, owing to the expanding
bullets which are freely used by the
Beers.
Roberts next reported that he
was moving on unopp o5ed.

ing to lombard unless it surrendered by
a a. m. Tuesday. A white flag was hoisted
Tuesday morning and n deputation OF the
town council, with Mayor Kellner, came
five miles south of the town, making n
formal surrender of the place. Lord
Roberts made 4 state entry at noon. He
received tremendous ovation. After
visiting the public buildings. he went to the
official residence of the President, followed
bv a cheering crowd, who waved the British
flag and sang the British national anthem.
They were in a condition of frenZied excite
ment.
President Steyn and other Free State Of
ficials fled northward.
The fact that Mr.. Frazer. late Chair
man of the Free State Raad, and leader
of the opposition to Mr.. Steyn. came with
the deputation to surrender the keys, is
regarded as extremely significant of con-
siderable difference Of opinion among the
Free Staters regarding the war.
The appearance of the newspapers with
the tidings caused great excitement IN
London, at the Service clubs, and in the
West End generally. Owing to the late
hour, however. there was no demonstra-
ton approaching in the remoteSt degree
those which heralded the surrender Of
Gen. Cronje and the relief of Ladysmith.
London paper sums up the Signific-
lance of the taking of Bloemfonteiu thus:
"Strategically the event may be of no greater
importance than the seizure of the rail-
way at any other convenient point in the
ncighborhood. but its moral and political
effect must he considerable, and it may
be of the highest significance that the
capital Of one of the two allied republics is
in orr hands, and that the Orange Free
State has ceased to exist as political en-
tity.
Lord Roberts is now ruler de factO and
de jlre in her maiesty's name at Bloom
fonten, and over large part OF the southern
territories of the republic. Roberts, like
Prof Westlake sees that danger may
lurk in ambiguous words, and is careful
to make it clear that for him the southern
republic has ceased to be fact"
Roberts seemed to have no trouble hand
ling the civil problems at Bloemfontein
and rested for several days before taking
up his march for Pretoria.
= The latest at the hour of our going to
press is that Col. Plumer is nearing Mafe-
king, and that Lord Methuen, in conf
mand of a mounted relief column, has
moved from Kimberley towards Mafeking;
that Lord Dundonald's cavalry brigade has
reconnotered the country west of Lady
smith to the Basutoland border and to De
Beers Pass; the country is entirely free
from Beers, who, however, are holding the
passes to the Free State. They have three
guns at Van Reenen's Pass.
