New York, April 3.—Speculation is rife in this city and also in Wash- ington, according to a dispatch from that city, asto whether it is true that Captain Carl Reichman, an American officer. was command- ing the Boers who captured the British convoy Saturday, and also whether the officer is Captain Carl Reichman, the United States mili- tary-attache sent to the Transvaal on January 5, last. The latter prop- osition is deemed excremely improb- able. If Captain Reichman should join in the fighting without first resign- ing from the United State army, he would be liable to court martial on his return, An officer would be gallant attempts were made to bring in two guns, the teams of which had been killed but at each attempt the horses were shot down. The Essex, Munster, Shropshire and Northumberland mounted infantry and Roberts’ horse covered the re- tirement of the guns from that posi- .|tion to the crossing of -the drift found by the cavalry two miles further south, and withstocd the determined attack of the enemy, who, in some cases, advanced with- in a hundred yards. “U_ battery of the Royal. horse artillery was suddenly surrounded in the drift, and the officers and men were all made prisoners without a shot being fired) But Major Faylor and a 4 major d from the service in dis- grace, if he joined the Boers, while still holding a commission under the United States. Boer Account of Fight at Mafelkop. Pretoria, March 31.—There has been heavy fighting between Brand- fort and Bloemfontein. The Wak. kerstroom and Emmeto commandos attacked 7,000 British and drove them back with heavy loss. Ac- cording to the reports of wounded who have arrived here, fighting oc- curred all along the line. The fed- eral troops had positionson the side and top of the’ mountain, while the British positions were on the opposite side of the hill. The Brit- ish charged repeatedly, but .were repulsed. The latest reports say in escaping in the confusion. Five guns were captured at the same time. Further details tomorrow.” Phe Guns Not He-captored. Lord Roberts despatch seems to finally dispose of the earlier report of the recovery of the guns, and the fact that the Boers remain in occupation of the waterworks is taken as an indication that they in- tend to make a stand sufficiently long to cover the withdrawal of the guns and wagons to a place of safety, although the absence of de- finite information regarding the movements of Gen. French's cavalry makes it difficult to estimate their chances of recapture. A Noble Scribe Captured. A despatch from Maseru, Basuto- land, dated Monday, April 2, says the earl of Rosslin, who is acting as war correspondent for the Daily Mail in South Africa, and who left their April 1 on his way to Taban- chu, has probably fallen into the hands of the Boers.

The federal loss was nine killed and wounded. Reports from Brandfort received later state that 2000 federals at- tacked 3000 British successfully,but that 13,000 British reinforcements arrived and the federals were com- pelled to retire. The federal loss, according to these reports, was slight. Bridge and Train Both Wrecked. A bridge on the Spokane Falls & Northern railway near Springdale collapsed yesterday morning and 24 freight cars fell through, as the northbound train was passing over.

We follow- ed the railroad, hiding by day in ditches. Many narrow escapes we have had from the Boer patrols. In one instance, we were com- pelled to take the river and swim some distance, after having alarm- eda patrol, which was searching for us along the bank. We spent a miserable night in a clump of bracken. - “The morning sun brought life to our chilled bodies, but we found our small supplies of meat, lozen- ges and chocolate had been spoiled by water, with the exception of one tin of army emergency rations, When night came on, we left the railway track, it being too risky, and wandered far to the southward, only striking the railway. again at Elands river near daybreak. We were so tired that we were obliged to rest at the first available cover, which proved to be in the centre of a Boet farm. Again we had a narrow escape from discovery by farm hands, but we got away safely at night fall, riding a short distance.
