BRITISH ARE BLAMED FOR CONVOY DISASTER

. .British .Troops Showed Gfeat Bravery,; ; But Could Not Resist the Murderous r, 1 •' Flro —Timely Arrival of Aid pre­

vented Annihilation.;

COMMON COUNCIL.

LONDON, A p ril, 3.—1The la test; news | from the front ndds: little to tlie public;

'..-knowledge o f the convoy disaster. No . .credence is given to reports' th n t•• the,

Boers numbered’between 8,0(10 and 10,- ,,0 0 0 men.; Tlie general belief is thnt, there

could riot have been more than half' that' / number, but the mere fact - that even’ so jjjjnafay as "half 'could have been collected so _‘,ne«r,headquarters without' the Ispjovyledge

of the British commanders. jprovokes much uneasy criticism. .. ...

The disaster is regarded ns n direct re-, suit of tbe Inability of General French to cut off the commando of General Olivier; and the other commandoes wtierieseaping from-tlie Orange river.^ / -f ’ V.-!;

Lord Roberts’ own dispatch, dated two ; hours;,later: than The DiVily '.Chronicle’s, says nothing about the gulis being recap­tured. The Btory, therefore, looksdoubt- ful. v - 1 1 1.L ittle news has arri.ved from other

points.; Kenhardt’ was formally reoccu- pled* Saturday. The report that the, Boers are massing inT the vicinity of Taungs arid Klipdam isitconflrmed.

Lord M ethacfftvdifficultles nre appar­ently Increasing* H e has' Boer laagers or ^guerrilla bandei on three sides o f him, and he. w ill be obliged to watch carefully his communications .with the' Ornnge, river.

,.- The Bloemfontein correspondent o f The D oily Chronicle, telegraphing Sunday and descrlblrig the loss of the convoy,

'Bays’: . - . „“The Boers opened with a murderous

fire. It was'simply slaughter. The Kaffir drivers of the convoy ran away,-leaving ,thelr teams, and it w as impossible for our mop to-hit tbe hidden enemy. , :

“ Our gunners fought bravely trying to save tbe guns, but onr. people w ere great­ly hampered by the KaUlrs. who ran hith­er and thither looking for cover from the fearful fire that poured in on all Bides. M eanwhile the enemy-were hotly press­ing Colonel Broadwood, whose mounted troops, were completely surrounded.- “The British showed magnificent brav­

ery. The officers were quite cool and composedly directed operations. The op­portune arrival of re-enforcements saved; Colonel Broadwood from annihilation."

“The water supply w as cat and the: .pumping gear-destroyed, as well as the field- telegraph. One -hundred w agons’ w ere. lost j through / the cowardice of the Kaffir drivers. • - - - i ■ ■■.;, . “It is reported-that two guns have been recaptured. 1 The whole force Is retiring on Bloemfontein.” , 1

The Bloemfontein correspondent of T h e1 Standard says'th at tha Prince o f Teck w as In charge o f the transport, but Is BOfe. ■

The war office.bas received th e follow­ing-dispatch from Lord R oberts: dated Bloemfontein. April 1:., . • - , : :

“I received licwn late yesterday after­noon from Colonel Broadwood,; who 'was at Thaba N ’chu, 38 miles east; o f here, that information, had reachedf him that tbeeneiny w as approaching in two forces, from thenorth and the eapt. H e stated'

-that if the report proved- true he would retire toward, the waterworks, 17 miles nearer Bloemfontein, where we have had a detachment of mounted infantry for the protection of the works. ; *

“Broadwood w as told In reply that'the Ninth division, with Martyr’s mounted infantry, will march at'daylight today to support him . and that if he considers it necessary he should retire from the wa­terworks. H e moved there during tbe night and bivouacked. At- ddwn today ho w as shelled by the enemy, who at­tacked on three sides. H e im m ediately: dispatched two horse artillery , batteries and his baggage toward Bloemfontein, covering some of them with bis.cavalry.

“Some two miles from the. waterworks the road crosses a deep nullah, or spruit, in which during the night a force of Boers hnd concealed themselves.; ! So well were they hidden, that-on r leading scouts passed over the drift without dis­covering them,; and it w as not until the wagons nnd guns were entering the’ drift that the Boers showed'them selves .arid opened fire. Many of the drivers o f the artillery ilorses were immediately shot

! down at short range', nnd several of the guns were captured. Tbe remainder gal­

lop ed away, covered by Roberts’ horse, 'which suffered heavily. - • ,

•' “Meanwhile Lieutenant Chestermas- .tcrs of IUmington's scouts found a pas­sage across the spruit unoccupied by the enemy, by which the remainder of Brond- wood’s force 'crossed.' They . reformed with g r e a t . steadiness, .notwithstanding all that had previously occurred.- “Brdddwopd's report, which has * Just reached me, and which contains, no. de­tails, stated tbat he bnd .lost seven guns and nil his ; baggage. H e estimates all his casualties a t’ a b o u t 350, Including 200 missing. ■

“On hearing this morning that Broad- wood w as hard pressed,. I Immediately ordered, General Frepch, w ith two re­maining cavalry brigades, to , follow in support o f the Ninth division. The lat­ter; after a magnificent march, arrived on the scen e'of action shortly after 2 p. m.. . , • . , - . : '■ •••-.« “Broadwood’s • #o»ee oonstoted of the

Royal Household cavalry, tha Tenth hnsBars,, G: and Q batteries o f 'the Royal Horse artillery and P ilchers battalion of mounted Infantry.",. *.

“The strength Qf. the enemy is eBtlmafe­ed, at from §,000 to 10,000, w ith guns, the .-number of which is not yet reported.”

The Routine Business Disposed of by the . . City. Solans a t Monddy -Evening's

. Session. ."

BuBlneBS went through with a rush In Common Council last bight. The mayor was authorized t<t rerievV two notes of $5,000 each, due April 12. The Finance Committee was given power to traijsfer.a sufficient amount from. the. street tt> the maintenance account to cover a deficiency.

'A petition of. the Board of Education for one of the new telephones to be granted to the city' by tho Now York" and N ow Jersey Telephone Company-was received and filed/, > • •, ' \ i -'

Superintendent J. L. Coffin’s report of the water department w ai referred to the F ife and Water Committee tilth power to act*op various' suggestions embodied In the paper relative to getting the water iset-vlGe In ship shape for the summer season. F ire..C hief John L. Schnelder submitted a Snandal report of. his depart­ment for 1899 and to date o f this year. Tbe report shows ao exp en d itu re 'o f $4,18046.' -It was accepted.

“ GARFIELD” THE BUjTER.He Does a Goat Trick on Frank Hughes

dnd is Placed Under Bail For His Sport.

Ellsworth Davls, known as the colored “Garfield,” has a now method of clinstis^ Ing those who annoy hlrri. “Garfield” is not credited,with the propensity or a oat for butting, but yesterday, proved thnt he Is thoroughly able to do a goat’s part in this respect, and exercised his butting ability, upon F rank: Hughes, a colored boy of; W est Paijk. H ughes had worried the unmartyred-^Garfield" to such an ex­tent that he took the boy to task. • But,, boy-llke, Hughes replied in hot language.

This angered "Garfield,” i who graBped the boy and butted him with hU head. When the goat action was done, Hugtfes, had a : cut eye. “Garfield" played the Samaritan and took his victim to a neigh­bor and cleansed h is bleeding wound and bound It up. But last night, his emulaS; tion of the goat got him- in- trouble with ;he authorities, for Magistrate Cross placed hlm in $100 b jll to await the ac­tion of the grand jury on the charge of. assault and-battery.

VIGOROUS SENATE DEBATE ON PORTO RICO BILL

Reduction o f( War Taxes ■ Considered inthe House—Large Tracts of Indian

Lands to be Opened toSettlement. '

W A SH ING TO N, April 3.—Advocates and opponents of the Porto Rican tnrifl ; . nnd government bill waged 'vigorous w ar :' : : in . the senate yesterday for r.Kire than seven Jours. Long before the senate con1 tyened at" 11 o’clock the galleries wer« crowded, and bo‘they remained until th< senate adjourned. -Those who listened to the debate were well repaid. The speeches were good and the running debate unusu­ally bright and lively.- During the speech of Mr. Spooner of Wisconsin particularly the chamber seemed to scintillate with •sparks, as he crossed argumentative swords with some of the best debaters on the Democratic side. H is address, i t sc it could be cnlled, w as devoted almost wholly to a discussion of the constitution- ' nl questions involved in tlie pending bill.

Mr. Bate (Dem .)'of Tennessee opened r the discussion of the day tyitili&akrefalljr'* prepared speech in opposition to the bill H e jv n s followed by Mr. Cullom (R ep .)' of Illinois in n vigorous speech support­ing the rineasure. ^Then came Mr. Depew ’ (Rep.) of New York, n member of tho committee which framed the bill, wht made nn eloquent and forceful defense of the mensnre. Mr; Spooner, who spoke

mext; wna,followed by Mr. Perkins (Rep.) of California, also n member of the com­mittee on Porto Rfco, who presented a strong argument for the bill. Senator D avis,form rlly Introduced several.amend- ments to the Porto Rican bill. One oi - them extends to Porto Rico the provi­sions of the constitution relative to tho tariff and taxotlon nnd prohibits any du- , ty oa commerce between the United States nnd Porto Rico,

The final vote on .the bill w ill be taken late today. It is arranged for 4 o’clock, but an effort w,ill be made to extend the. time for debate beyond that hour.

Members of the senate committee on Porto Rico' made a poll .of the senate oh- the Porto'R ican bill. They estimate n majority of 7 for the bill, believing-that It will receive 47 votes.; . ■ " ;

A possible reduction of the war taxes wns foreshadowed, in a resolution adopt­ed by the house calling upon the secrete- ry of the treasury for information as to the probable surplus ex istin g , revenue law s would create during this rind the

-coming,fiscal year. The resolution, .was ■ • - presented by Mr. P ayne," the; floor leadei of the majority. Among the district bills

.pn^ed ..was, one to, increasje-the ta i f on.' foreign insurance coriiphhies doing busi­

ness in the district from 1 to 1^4 per cent.Under suspension of the rules bills .,,

The Streets ot Asbury Park are ICO feet birdad, an

advantage possessed by no other Seaside

Resort on the Jersey^ Coast. *, •

There will never be another seaside town in Monmoiith county that will compare with the broad streets and open spaces, such as shown on the map of Asbury Park, This assertion is based on the fact that all the ocean front lands beiweet Seabright and Barnegat are already laid out with streets averaging ? i f t y p e r c e n t , l e s s in width than those j of Asbury Park, without such open spaces as Asbury Park.
