lnntry the Artlllerr. Tlie following account of tbe Koorn spruit affair is written by the London Times' correspondent at Bloemfontein: Realizing tbat the district was up in anus, Colonel Broadwood sent information to headquarters and drew in his outlying force from the Flour Mills preparatory to falling back upon Bloemfontein. The road between Tha-bancbu and the capital la important on account of tbe waterworks, which are situated on the Modder and form part of tbe water supply of Bloemfontein. These works are a matter of 22 miles from the latter town. Tbe Boers continued to mass in the vicinity of Tba-bauchu in such numbers that Broad-wood did not consider It expedient to wait for re-enforcements, but fell back from Thabanchu on March 30, deter-miucd to do the 35 miles into Bloem-fonti'iu in two marches.

The same night Colonel Martyr's mounted Infantry marched out of Bloemfontein to hold the waterworks, General Colville's infantry dirision following the nest morning. Colonel Broadwood, realizing tbe gravity of the situation In which his column was placed, made a forced march and encamped this side of the waterworks. His baggage arrived about 9 p. in. on Friday night, he with Ills rear guard at 2 on Saturday morning.

The enemy had been reported upon their flanks all through the day, and, anticipating that time was everything, Broadwood determined upon an early start on tbe Saturday morning. The camp was peculiarly situated. The force had crossed the Modder and lay in the open between two spruits adjacent to the half formed embankment of the Ladybrand railway, under construction. It will be Interesting now to digress, for on this memorable Saturday afternoon the Boers accomplished one of the finest pieces of strategy which have marked the history of this war. If the scale of tbe operations had been greater and the affair had been more than a side issue In tbe campaign, Olivier and bis advisers would have earned Immortal fame.

As soon as tbe Boer commandants realized tbat Broadwood was in earnest retreat and bad "outspanned" his advance guard across the Modder, they conceived a scheme of cutting off and surrounding hlni. The scheme was delicate In the extreme, as only a few hours remained for them to make their dispositions. But a perfect knowledge of the country and the only route which was open to the column and an energy which was amazing in an enemy usually so apathetic rendered the plan feasible. The Boers knew that three miles west of their camp Broadwood's transport must cross Koorn drift. They knew the topography of the country and felt certain that If they were in position to shell the camp at daybreak the baggage would be pushed on, while the bulk of the force remained to guard tbe rear.

Consequently tbe 400 best mounted men were selected and ordered to strain every nerve to reach Koorn drift before daybreak, The four guns with the commando were double horsed and dispatched, with 1,000 mounted men, to follow the column and to be in position as soon as day should break. The remainder were to follow at the best pace they could get out of their horses In order to re-enforce as the morning advanced. The dispositions were admirable In design and perfect in execution. The 400 men were in Koorn spruit before daybreak, lining 1,000 yards of nullah and railway earthwork. The four guns were In position on the rear and flanks of Broadwood's camp and skirmishers were within rifle range at daybreak.

At 0 a. m. the enemy opened with rifle fire on the encampment, and the force was ordered to "saddle up." Fif teen minutes later, Just as the first of the Boer guns opened on the mass, the baggage train led out of camp. They passed out taking the only road open to them namely, the one which led to Koorn drift The two horse batteries followed the baggage, with the object or taking up a position on the High ground on the far side of the drift, to cover the rear euard as It fell back. The camp was about three miles from the drift, which, as was previously Pointed out lay in the point of a rough angle made by the embankment under construction and the bush grown slult winch converged toward it Thus hen the Boors were In position, lining 'he sluit and the embankment the portion became like the base of a horse's "nt.

The Boors were the metal shoe, our own troops the frog. At the point where the drift cuts the iit the nullah Is broad and extensive. The Boers stationed at this snot real Iwd that the baggage was moving mout advanced guard. They re equal to the situation. As each agon dropped below the sky Jine Into he drift the teamsters were directed to take tholr teams to the right or left the cam? might be, and the guards were dlearmed under threat of vio lence.

So shot was fired. Each wag 0 In turn Waa rantnrp.l and Disced Blong tills Hi 11 It an that lhn In rear l'l no knowledge of what was taking ria to their front until It liecamo "tplr turn to surrender.

The sorub and tilfc-h Pound beyond the drift were sufficient Keport has it that Sergeant Given nt the army service corps was the first man to fire.

Called unon to snrrmuinr he threw his revolver loose as if to tender it to the Boer at the horse's head, auu men snot mm dead. He was him- self shot a moment later. This inci dent, If true, must have taken nlace Just as TJ battery came level with the drift for the gunners' first knowledge of the real state of affairs was when armed Boers stood up all round them, shouting: "Vou are prisoners! Tou must surrender!" The drivers were ordered to dismount and leave their teams. The men had no alternative but to obey. Major Taylor, command ing battery, with great presence of mind was able to slip away, seize a loose horse and inform the otflcer com manding battery of what bad occurred.

At that moment Roberts horse rode up- to the drift An old Dutchman stood up and wared them to move off down into the drift and there to sur render their arms. Major Dawson grasped the situation in a moment Standing up in his stirrups, be shouted: "Fours about! Gallop!" The files swung round. The drivers of battery whipped round their teams. There was a temporary pause, and then the storm burst. The enemy saw that nothing further was to be gained but by violence.

Every bush on the donga bed, every foot of the railway embankment, every yard of the kopjes above the drift spouted Mauser tire. The drift became a pandemonium. The captured gun teams stampeded hopelessly, mingling with loose mules, spans and dismounted Boers, while four guns of and one of thundered back 1,000 yards to tho tin buildings, destined some day to be Koorn Drift station. Roberts' horse went with them, a wild, broken mass, taking magazine fire in tbe back. The tin walls were no cover from the fire which now swept the flat but they marked a term to the stampede.

"Ac tion rear!" came the clear, calm order. The mad pace checked, the guns seemed to divide automatically from the lim bers. The teams and wagons disap peared behind the station buildings and with shrapnel at 1,100 yards "the epoch of our defense began." It had taken one minute to cross tnai 1,100 yards. That minute had sown the veldt with little mounds, which, if some had not still been moving, might have been ant heaps. Riderless horses and dismounted men were still loose upon the open.

But the battery what was left of It-was In action. Roberts' horse was supporting. The supreme moment had come, the force had rallied and Broadwood was equal to the occasion. One misjudged order, one mistaken gesture, and all would probably have been lost. But no mistake was made.

The Household cavalry and the Tenth were sent to clear the nullah from the flank. Rimlng-ton's scouts and the mounted infantry were each directed to positions. The force was to break out from its lett rear in retirement to rising ground, which, if reached, would be defensible. The discipline of British gunners un der fire has often claimed the admira tion of the world. The fighting or battery is another instance of how de votedly euns can be served to save the situation for all arms.

Surrounded by a semicircle of marksmen, the gun ners stood to their guns, wan airer man, horse after horse, dropped, until each unit was surrounded by a nnie mound of slain. Three men were loading, laying and firing a gun then two and then a single man In one case, an officer alone. But the end was gained. When the order came for the guns to retire, ten men and one officer alone remained upon their feet and they were not all unwounded. The teams were as shattered as the gun groups.

Solitary drivers brought up teams of four. In one case a solitary pair or wheelers was all that could be found to take a piece away. Tbe last gun was dragged away by hand until a tnam could be patched up rrom tne horses that remained. As the mutilated remnant of two batteries of horse ar tillery tottered through tne line oi prone mounted infantry covering Its withdrawal the men could not restrain their admiration. Though it was to court death to show a hand, men leaped to their feet and cheered the gun ners as they passed.

The front of tbe second temple is covered with the scriptures of the cele brated temple of Boro-Boudhour.

This frieze Is lu2 feet long. It consists of a reinqrkable series of scenes from the life of Buddha, beginning with the an nunciation of his life and continuing up to his last hours. It is a mute but eloquent witness to the character and religion ot the Hindoo Invaders, and tbe sculptured figures Indicate an advanced stage of art. The temple of TJandl-Sari Is covered from base to pinuacle with figures In high relief represeutlng the ancient gods and ceremonies. This profusion of statues Is set off with a rich orna mentation In early oriental style, and the combined result Is a copy of the masterpieces of Huideo architecture In Java.

No replicas ot these famous pieces havo hitherto been shown In Europe, and exposition visitors will be the first to be favored with these evi dences of a giwit prehistoric civiliza tion, an epoch that lias eullstetl the Interest of many archaeologists. In the interior of this templo will be found reproductions of a number of the most highly prized examples of Hindoo art found in Java. Among these Is the grand portico of the temple of Boro Boudhotir. It is OS feet broad, and Its graceful rich ornamentation makes It an object of much interest. On either side of this portico In lias-reliefs and niches arc statnes representing Buddha In various attitudes.

These also are copies from Boro-Boudhour. One of the. partition walls bears a fragment from the temple of Pramubauain, In the middle of which stands a legendary Hon between two sacred trees. Anoth er wall represents the splendid facade of the temple of TJandl Seorrl, and In 1 third quarter mojr be seen series of itatucs ot Ylshnu and other Hindoo deities. With a good guido to relate the discovery of these notable temples, to pnt together the fragmentary story of the vanished race and to envelop the whole tale In Its proper glamour of oriental mysticism this exhibit of the practical, plodding Dutchman takes on the Interest of a romance.

Even Cuba contributes to this reli gious melange, for. It sends a recently discovered idol worshiped by tbe simple natives before the coining of Co lumbus to the new world. It consists of a slab of stone about two feet long with a grotesque human figuru carved in relief on one side. It was excavated near Baracoa, in the eastern end of tho Vandevlllnlnr.

Even the sacred shrines "hid den away In tbe caves of the marble mountains of Anam have their counterpart In this wonderful melange. In the "all together" it is such a congress of religions as tho world probably never saw before, and yet It is only an Incidental feature of the gathering of many strange races and habitations within tbe park of tbe Trocadero.
