THE. BIG STRIKE OVER.

Trouble Between Machinists and Their
Employers Amicably Adjusted.
CHICAGO, April "A settlement of
the strike in the machine shops of Chi
cago was reached during the day at a
conference between officials Of the
unions and representatives Of the en-
ployers. It is a settlement which is to
be national in it's scope and under its
terms the general strike which would
involve $50, 900 machinists of the coun-
try will be averted. . ... II.
Work is to be resumed at once here as
we'll as in Cleveland, Paterson, N. j.,
and Philadelphia. At Columbus, the
city where the strike was started in
force, settlement was declared to have
been reached Thursday afternoon. In
all these five cities the men agree to re-
turn to work pending arbitration Of the
issues in the controversy. From the
terms of the settlement, as drawn up
and executed in writing, the strikers
are figuring out a victory. This claim is
Not Disputed to Any Extent
by the manufacturers, who admit that
concessions have been made. Recogni-
tion of the union was granted and the
men will return to work pending arbi-
tration of wages, hours and other differ
ences.. E
Although the final settlement is to be
worked out in detail by board Of arbi-
tration it is claimed by the union off,
cials and admitted by the manufactur-
ers that assurances have been made that
will guarantee the concession of the g.
hour day or its equivalent in working
hours and will also secure a slight in
crease in the average wages of the
workmen. sas
Much money has been lost on both
sides by the strike: 1t is estimated that
the men have lost in wages $45O, 900
during the five weeks of idleness Sew
eral Of the firms have lost heavily
through delay in finishing contracts.
No estimate of the loss to the manufac-
turers is obtainable.

General Roberts Continues His
Account--Fighting Near

The Beers are still occupying the water
works, which the British shelled yester-
day afternoon, the Beers replying.
LONDON, April 4.-Fuller news OF the
disaster to the British army in the
neighborhood of Sannah's Post does not
tend to improve matters from British
point Of view, but with the dispatches
SO mystifying, it is impossible to accu-
rately portray the present situation, or
to foretell the ultimate issue OF Lord
Roberts attempt to retrieve the defeat.
The war office has posted dispatch
from Lord Roberts, reading as follows:
Bloemfontein, April 2, 1890 p. m.-
In continuation of my telegram of
March 81, there has been considerable
delay in getting accurate returns OF the
casualties. as the action took place %
miles hence, the telegraph cable has
been interrupted several times, cloudy
weather has interfered with signalling,
and although there has been no engage
ment since, the force is continually in
touch with the enemy There were
many acts of conspicuous gallantry dis
played during the day. o. remained
in action under cross-fire at 200
yards for some hours, the officers serv-
ing the guns as the casualties reduced
the detachments. Several gallant at
tempts were made to bring in two guns,
the teams Of which had been killed, but
at each attempt, the horses were shot.
The Essex, Munster, Shropshire and
Northumberland mounted infantry and
Roberts horse covered the retirement
of the guns from that position to the
crossing of the drift fround by the cav
airy two miles further south, and with
stood the determined attacks of the
enemy, who, in some cases, advanced
within 100 yards. 'U' battery Of the
Royal Horse Artillery was suddenly
surrounded in the drift and the officers
and men were all made prisoners with.
out shot being fred. But Major Tay-
lor and sergeant major succeeded in
escaping in the confusion. Five guns
were captured at the same time.
Further details tomorrow"
Lord Roberts dispatch seems to
finally dispose of the earlier report of
the recovery Of the guns, and the facts
that the Beers remain in occupation of
the waterworks is taken as an indica-
tion that they intend to make a stand
sufficiently long to cover the withdraw
al of the guns and wagons to a place of
safety, although the absence of definite
information regarding the movements
of General French's cavalry makes it
difficult to estimate their chances of
adding this crowning success to the
blow already inflicted. .-r-.s.ar ~

FEARFUL CARNAGE.

Scenes at Bushmans Kop Tell a Terrible
Tale of Surprise and Slaughter.
BUsHMANs KoP, Sunday, April T.
The Beers, who were hidden in the
spruit when the British guns were cap
tured yesterday, were commanded by
Reichman, German They
are still holding the waterworks and the
line of hills behind them.
Following the scouts Of General
French's cavalry division to the scene
of battle this correspondent witnessed
one of the most terrible spectacles Of the
war. Horses lay stiffened in the various
attitudes of sudden death and mingled
among them were CHASTITY human bodies
with the wrecks Of wagons and food
and forage scattered wide. Everything
told terrible tale of surprise and car.
mage. It would be impossible to con
ceive anything more ingenious than the
Boer trap, and the only wonder is that
single man escaped.
Scene of Frightful Confusion.
When the convoy was first attacked &.
scene of frightful confusion followed.
The mules stampeded and the wagons
were overturned, while the concealed
enemy poured in well directed fire
until they seemed disinclined to con-
tinue the slaughter and called on the
British to surrender. In the meantime
B battery, which had come up under
heavy fire, wheeled into action and be-
gan shelling the Beers with the four re-
manning guns. The Beers confess that
this battery accounted for five killed
and nine wounded Of their losses.
Early in the afternoon the Beers col
lected about the convoy, began remov-
ing the guns and wagons and permitted
the collection of the British dead and
wounded. Our actual casualties were
less than had been expected.

.CABLED BY Otis
Seeks to Correct Some Erroneous
Impressions in the United
States.
Our Troops Have Had Over a
Hundred Skirmishes Since
Jan..1.
Have Lost Eighty-one Men Killed
and Twice the Number
Injured.

; WASHINGTON, April General Otis
has cabled to the war department prob
ably with view to correcting erroneous
impressions that exist in. this country as
to the state Of the insurrection in the
Philippines, summary Of the result of
the development Of the campaign since
the first Of the calendar year. His
figures go far toward offsetting the be.
lief that exists in some quarters that
since the adoption Of guerilla methods
OF warfare the insurgents have inflicted
substantial loss upon American arms,
in comparison with the punishment
which they have themselves received.
A significant sentence in the report diff
ferentiates insurgents and ladrones,
showing that Otis has taken cognizance
OF the fact that considerable number
OF hostiles are not soldiers under the
rules Of war, and may not expect the
same treatment. The report, which is
dated Manila, April 8, is as follows:
"Since Jan. l, 124 slzirmishes in Phil
ippines have been reported, mostly very
slight affairs. Our casualties were three
officers and 78 enlisted men killed, 13
officers and ISL men wounded. Insur-
gent and Ladrone loss in killed and left
on field, 1,426; captured, mostly wound
ed, 1853; small arms secured, .3,O51;
pieces Of artillery, 165; large captures of
other insurgent property. Anumber of

rendering and the situation is grad
ually becoming more pacific.

MAKES THEM PAUSE.

British Public Gets Rad Shock From
Events Around Bloemfontein.
LONDON, April 3.-The rumors Of the
recapture by the British of the seven
guns taken from Colonel Broadwood's
force, based on dispatch to the Chron-
icle from Bloemfontein, which 1t is said
in all probability is correct, fails to
compensate London for the severe
shock experienced by the humiliating
defeat sustained within few miles of
the headquarters Of the British army Of
occupation. The public is painfully
surprised to learn after all that has
come and gone that British officers of
high position can still neglect precau-
tions which, the veriest tyro might be
expected to observe, and blunder into
traps which the observance Of the ele-
mentary military rules would have re-
vealed. There is no attempt here to
minimize the discreditableness of the
whole affair, so far as the British are
concerned, or detract from the dexterity
of the Beers who were apparently COM
manded by General Dewet. The tactics
of the burghers were evidently excel
lently conceived and boldly carried out,
and unless the reinforcements sent by
Lord Roberts have turned the tide and
recaptured the prisoners couple of
hundred men from two crack corps of
the Household Cavalry and the Tenth
Hussars are now on their way to swell
the growing deposit Of British prison
ers in Pretoria.
Promise to BE Troublesome.
President Kruger is said to have prom
ised to reoccupy Bloemfontein this
week, and the stubborn burghers seem
to be closing on the place in such force
as promises to be troublesome, espe-
cially when it is realized that the activ-
ity ofla strong Boer force in the vicin-
ity Of Paardeberg has already inter
rupted direct communication between
Lord Roberts and Kimberley. But for
the overwhelming numbers at the dis
posal Of Lord Roberts, the situation
would Justly cause Great Britain
greater anxiety. AS it is, the nation is
beginning to realize from the nature Of
the guerilla warfare that it is liable to

at Thaba N'Chu, 3S miles east of here,
that information had reached him that

stated that if the report proved true, he
would retire towards the waterworks,
IL miles nearer Bloemfontein, where he

"Broadwood was told in reply that
the Ninth division with Martyrs
mounted infantry will march at day
light today to support him, and that If
he considers it necessary, he should re-

there during the night and bivouacked.
At dawn today he was shelled by the

and opened fire. Mary of the drivers
