Another South African Disaster.

A Small Band Surprised by Four Thousand Zulus.

Forty of the Number Killed and Others Missing.

Serious Riots Among English Colliers.

ANOTHER DISASTER.

Cape Town, March 25.—A convoy of supplies, proceeding from Derby to Luneberg, escorted by 104 men of the Eighth regiment, was attacked at daybreak, March 12th, on the banks of the Intombe river, by 4,000 Zulus, under Umbelini. Owing to previous alarm the British were under arms, but were overwhelmed by the superior force of the enemy. Captain Moriarty and 40 men were killed, and 20 are missing. The fate of the wagon drivers is unknown. Lieutenant Harwood, with 40 men, succeeded in reaching Luneberg. One hundred and fifty men of the Eightieth regiment subsequently proceeded to the scene of the fight and recovered a quantity of rockets and amunitition, and buried their dead. Twenty wagons containing supplies were lost.

London, April 8.—The Standard's dispatch from Capetown says that the convoy from Derby was obliged to encamp on the banks 01 the Intombe as the river was too full to cross. Lieutenant Har ward, (not Howard as before) and the survivors were encamped on the Luneberg side of the river. Although there had been some previous alarms, the surprise was complete. The sentry only saw the Zulus when they were within fifteen, paces. Lieut. Haward's men poured a bteady fire across the river. The Zulus lost heavily, but were undaunte Only fifteen of Capt. Moriarty"*. men escap-d across the the river, they were sleeping in wagons when at tacked. The sentry was the only one who had time to fire. The cene of the surprise is a hollow, surrounded by long grass and weeds. One gun which the 25ulus had not removed, has since been recovered.

The relief column for Ekowe numbers 5,000 men, and it will start on March 26th. A party of volunteers has visited the battle field of Isandula and found that the Zulus had left one hundred wagons there, but had removed the guns and ammunition.

A great mieting of Boers has commenced. Their proceedings have so fa been quietly conducted.

A battalion of the Twenty-first regiment, the army service corps, the engineers and the Ninety-fourih regiment, arrived at Capetown.

London, April 8.—A dispatch from Capetown sa that much sickness is reported in Col. Pearson's command at Ekowe, and provisions very scarct. There is reason to believe that twenty thousand Zulus are posted near Ekowe, and a dispatch to The Times from Dunban says the soldiers report, as missing at the' disaster on the Intombe were prcbablv drowned. The »ui prise occurred during a dense mist. Further fighting on the Intombe is reported.

THE KHEDIVE'S LETTER.

Alexandria, April 8.—A letter of the Khedive's has been published, accusing foreign ministers of a desire to establish laws repugnant to Mohommedans and a large portion of the European population. The creditors approve the change of ministry.

London, April 8.—The Times' dispatch from Alexandria states that it is reported that the Khedive has acted with the consent of Turkey. The Times, editorially, says: There need be little apprehension of hasty measures. Negotiations between France and England are already opened, but before this can lead to anything more than a vigorous remonstrance with the Khedive, parliament will be reassembled. It is not improbable that the French cabinet, under the influence of a strong national feeling and pressure of the financial interest, may propose a joint measure of coersion. Such a policy is one the British government would be reluctant to accept without the gravest reasons There is much excitement in Paris in regard to the acts of the khedive. A correspondent believes there is a probability of an ltmatum, giving the khedive the option of abdicatieg in favor of his son or of being replaced oy Halim. These views are probably exaggerated, as English newspapers, supposed to speak by authority, indicate that England is not prepared to participate in hasty action, but prefers, first, to try remonstrance, trusting to the khedive's fear that the porte may" be influenced to revoke the firmans in his favor.

BONAPARTISTS ELATED.

Paris, April 8.—-The Bonapartists are much elated at the almost certain triumph of Godel, Bonapartist candidate for the chamber of deputies, in the district of Champs Elysees, on the second ballot.

a conversation between himself and the Prince Imperial, in which the latter said: '*My father's misforture was to mistrust his health, so he wished to play two reigns simultaneously, namely: his own, which was autoritaire, and mine, which might be liberal. He lost both. I am, therefore, forced to recommence to resume the aatoritaire reign, and to leave the liberal one to my successor, if events allow it."

THE SUPPLEMENTARY ELECTION. At Bordeaux, at the supplementary election on Sunda for members of the chamber of deputies, Loui* Blaoqui, who is still imprisoned for conspiring in 1870 against the government of national defense polled 3,700 votes against M. Lavertujon, Gambetta Republican, who ieceived 4.706. Two obscure radicals polled 1.500 each, and if, on the second ballot, which is necessary, these' votes should swell Bianqui's score, his return is quite possible. This is considered significant.

Rome, April 8.—The pope contributed £4,000 to the Catholic school fund. HUMBERT VISITS GARIBALDI.

LATER FROM THE CAPE.

London, April 9.—Additional advices from Capetown about the disaster to the British convoy, on the Intombe river, March 12th, report that it is thought the forty wagon drivers and followers were killed.

London, April 9.—Twenty-five Zulu corpses were found on the field of battle. It is believed many more were drowned. The Zulus had ample time to get the news ot the convoy as it was delayed at the lord three days by heavy rains. The ford was only four miles from Luneburg. It is thou/ht there was great carelessness in selecting the position of the camp and in neglecting to send a lager force from Luneberg to"' meet the convoy. Colonel Peasron signals from Ekowe that he can hold out ten days longer, until the fourth of April. His provisions only- are short. He has plenty of ammunition. Scouts report thac the Zulus are concertrated in large masses eleven miles north of the Tugela River. They are in a dense jungle, so that their numbers are unascertainable.

VOL.11.—NO.21. TERRE HAUTE, IND:..—THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 18T9. 91.50 PER TEAR.

TATE ACQUITTED. 7% Indianapolis, April 5.—At 10:30 to­

night the jury in the case of Warren

Tate, who murdered Wm. Love, in the

corridor of the co. «ii this citv on

the 19th of last November, brought in a

verdict of not guilty.

HOW THE VERDICT WAS RECEIVED. The acquitted murderer received the congratulations of his attorners, and then, in company with his two brothers, left the court room with the proud step of a free man. He repaired immediately to the apartments of his wife, the notorious Jenny Daily, over Sam Dinnen's saloon, on the corner of New Jersey and Washington streets. The meeting between these ancient and battle scarred veterans is said to have been deeply affecting. Doubtless the joy of this loving couple was shared by all of their friends who infest that quarter of the city.

The news of tne verdict traveled with wonderful rapidity to all parts of the city even at that late hour. To those who were in the court room when it was read it was a complete surprise, and the intelligence was none the less amazing to the general public. The very worst that was looked for was a disagreement ot the jury, though even Tate's friends admitted that the jury might conclude to give him eight or ten years in the penitentiiry. The prosecution knew and feared the man's power and influence, and would not have been surprised to have heard of a disagreement. Indeed, from certain facts learned after the jury was impaneled,they were led to anticipate nothing else but that a verdict of acquittal should have been returned was something they did not dream of. It was remarked that the prisoner's counsel took no exceptions to the charge of the court, a rare circumstance in a trial for murder, and this might have been taken to mean that the defense knew there would be no need of laying the foundation for a fight in the higher court, inasmuch as exceptions of this character must be taken at the time of reading. It was evident from this action that the defense rested reasonably certain least a a $

The remarkable^ not to say preposterous, verdict was the univeisai theme of conversation on the streets yesterday, as well as late the night before, and the remarks that were made were net as a general rule at all complimentary to the jury. The prevailing sentiment seemed to be that the whole affair was a mockery and a disgrace to the community.

wff

Tate had been a poor-devil he would have been hung," was the remark heard or. every hand, and this about expressed the popular feeling. Everybody compared the result with that in the Achey ease Achey's murder of George Leggett was equally justifiable, but as it was his misfortune to be penniless tne gallows was his fate. Nothing that has occurred here for years has done so much to degrad the administration of justice in the eyes of the people .as this. It was everywhere regarded as purely a triumph of money, a potent agent to block the machinery of justice, that is swift to punish offenders who have neither money nor influence.

INTERVIEWING THE JURORS Journal reporters sought interviews with several of the jurors yesterday with a view of ascertaining, if possible, how the wonderful verdict was arrived at. The newsgatherers first called on John B. Elam, prosecutor, and Col. Gray, bailiff, but they could give no information. The fiist-named knew nothing, and the latter explained that Messrs. Gorrell and Isgrigg intimated that his presence in the jury-room duiing their deliberations would not be needed, but that, on the contrary, his absence from the apartment would be insisted upon. The Colonel accordingly absented himself from the room and asked no questions.

Messrs. Webster, Copeland, .Watts and Heifer were among the jurors interviewed. They were indisposed to talk, having entered into an agreement to say nothing concerning their deliberations. It was ascertained, however, that the jury stood nine to three for acquittal on the first ballot. Several subsequent ballots resulted in no change whatever, but finally, about 10 o'clock, the three obstinate jurors became suddenly convinced, and agreed to a verdict It is understood that Messrs. Shreve, Lamme and Watts are the jurors holding out.

Mr. Copeland was interrogated in regard to the statement published in the Herald, that Jenny Daily had held a three hours' private interview with him on the Saturday before he was drawn as a juror in the Tate case. Mr. C. denied the story, but acknowledged that the woman had called at his store.

uShe

only came to inspect our Spring bonnets, as is her custom," he said, "but she was not in the store to exceed fifteen minutes, and I barely spoke to her."

A SOU! HERN TRIP.

Warren Tate visited his farm yesterday. It is not known whether he car* ried his revolver along or not. It is understood that Tate and his female companion will take a trip through the South this Spring for their mutual health.

A mob of Tate's friends got on a big drunk at his expence at Dinnen's whisky shop after the verdict was brought in Saturday night. From this arose the report that Tate gave a grand banquet at Kate Denton's bagnio in cebelebration of his miraculous scape. It was only a vulgar drunk.

PRESBYTERY CONVENED. Special to the Indianapolis Journal: Madison, Ind., April 8.—The New Albany presbytery, numbering forty members, representing over fifty churches convened in the First Presbyterian Church, in Madison, to-night, heard the opening 6ermon by the moderator, and organizrd for the session, which will probably last till Thursday afternoon.

THE PARKE COUNTY-SEAT TROUBLE—A CURIOUS DILEMMA—THE I.,D. AND

S. RAILROAD.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Rockville, Ind., April 7.—Abouty sixty men and teams have already arrived on the I., D. and S. railroad to work. The road will undoubtedly be finished to Indianapolis soon.

The county seat war between Bloomingdale and this place continues. Parties have laid off grounds at Bioomingdale for a new court house and jail, as required by law, and petitions are being freely circulated over the county to get the requisite number of voters to request the commissioners to remove the county-seat. Much is said on both sides, and of course, innumerable rumors are afloat. The war has developed a curious feature touching the title to 80 acres of ground in the very heart of the town of Rockville. Eighty acres were deeded, come 50 years ago, to the county for her benefit, on condition the countyseat remain at Rockville permently. The county took the land upon this condition, platted and sold it in lots for its own benefit. Now. if through the act of the commissioners the county seat is removed, the land will revert to the heirs of the original grantors, and, it is thought by several good lawyers who have examined the matter, that the county will be liable for damages to those who lose their property by 8uch reversion. If this is the case, the removal of the county seat will bankrupt the county by the time it pays for anew court house and for eighty acres in tl.e center of town and improvements thereon. What will be the end of the trouble n»ene can tell. We at Rockville hope for the best.*

THE INDIANS.

A U. S. COURT GRANTS A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS DEMANDING TO KNOW WHY THE PONCAS

ARE HELD IN PRISON.

Chicago, April 8.—The Tribune's Omaha special says: Judge Dundy,of the United States court, on application of T. H. Tibbies, granted a writ of habeas corpus, directed to Brig. Gen. Crook, demanding him to show cause why he held the Ponca Indians prisoners at Fort Omaha. These Indians were arrested under an order from Washington to be returned to Indian territory, whence they fled, to save their lives, on account of sickness. They were at wqrk on the Omaha agency,, farming, and say that they don't want to live on the government, but desire to support themselves. The suit was suggested by Standing Bear's declaration: "I was arrested when I had hold of the plow handle, held a prisoner, and I never committed a crime." Leading lawyers of the state have volunteered their services for the Indians. The legal fraternity regard it as the most important case in the United States court since the Dred Scott decision, and think the result, if successful, will force change in the government's Indian policy. Gen. Crook has telegraphed to Washington for instructions.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTION CASES. Cnarleston, April 8.—In the United States circuit court, to-day, the defendants in the election cases moved to quash the entire panel of gran and petit jurors, on the ground that the list from which the juries are to be made up was n6t drawn in conformity with the law, or in compliance with the order of the court, and further that the persens drawn were not properly or sufficiently summoned.

THE GREENBACKERS.

Washington, April 8.—Representative Kenna, to-day, prepared and put in circulation a petition requesting John F. House, chairman of the Democratic caucus, for Friday evening next, in the language of the petitions "with a view to providing by legislation at the present session for the free coinage of silver, the iesue of bullion certificates based on either silver or gold, the substitution of greenbacks for national bank circulation, and the prohibitions of any futher increase of the bonded bebt of the government." Under the Democratic rule ten members are a sufficient number to procure a call for a caucus. The petition has already more than sixty signers, and indications are that it will meet the approval of such a number as to secure a movement immediately on the announcemen of committees, in the direction of the financial legislation indicated.

THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON RULES met this afternoon for the purpose of considering the question which arose in the House this morning, regarding the recognition of members desirous of participating in the general debate. It was decided that the custom of preparing lists, which for some time has prevailed, is the most practicable, and the committee will rccommend its continuance, and that the speaker or chairman of the committee of the whole House on the state of the union shall use his discretion in recognizing one of two or more members who shall attempt to address th^ House simulaneousIy. It was also agreed to recommend an increase of the membership of the judiciary committee from eleven, as heretofore, to fifteen. The committee will also favor a modification of rule HS|of the House, so as to require a vote of at least three-fourths of the members present to suspend the rules, instead of two-thirds as now necessary. The report of the committee covering the above, and the propositions previously agreed upon, will be submitted to the House to-morrow, aad as toon the several recommendations are finally disposed of the speaker will be able to announce the committees.
