been open for half an hour morning

The state, war and navy building to

mia avenue and that building.
During the time when the gates
were open people have been allowed
to stroll over the lawn and even to
approach the White House and see
the president go out for his daily
horseback ride at 4 O'clock. The
Roosevelt children are usually playing
in the grounds at that hour. and they
Lave frequently been asked by visitors
with cameras to pose for their photo
graphs. If they refused Or ignored
the requests. they were pers!stcntly
followed about the grounds.
The president has expressed his dis
like for this and reluctantly ordered
that the gates be kept closed at all
hours of the day. The only exception
to the rule will be made on each Sat

northwest of Bethel. near Braken-
lnagte, during Il thick mist.
"Thc strength Of the enemy is report
cd to have been IL thousand. They
rushed two guns with The rcarguard,
but it is uncertain whether they were
able to remove them.
II feur our casualties We're heavy.
Colonel Benson was wounded. but not
severely. a relieving column will reach
him this morning."
Later Lord Kitchener tclegraphed as
follows:
Colonel Barter who marched from
the constnbuIary line yesterday, reach
ed Renson's column early this morning
unopposcd. He reports that Colonel
Benson died of his W. sds.

Lord Kitchener then gives the names
Of thirteen other officers who were
wounded, most of them severely, and
announces that iifty-four nonrommls-

1GD wounded. adding that four Of the
latter have since died of theil wounds.
The dispatch then says:
Il assume that the two guns have
been recovered and the enemy has
withdrawn, but | have no further de-
tails.
II deeply regret the loss of Colonel
Benson and the officers and men who
fell with him. In Benson the service
