Another Dispatch Relief of Col. Cobbe. The Waif Office later on Sunday night issued the following further dispatch from Colonel Swann, dated Bohotle, Sunday:- "April 25.—Following message received from general officer commanding for transmission to you:— 'Galadi, April 20.—Mounted infantry under Kenna reached Cobbe's sareba at Gumburru at one p.m. April 18. Cobbe evacuated his zareba early in the morn- ing of the 19th of April, and met the remainder of my column about twenty miles west of Galadi, and reached Galadi this evening. Cobbe's retirement from Yueba, south-east, under cover of mounted infantry, who scouted some miles to the west, was unopposed. 'Cobbe informs me Plunkett was ordered by him to cover retirement of Captain Olivey's company, which had been sent out to reconnoitre at a short distance from camp, and was believed to be engaged. Plunkett did this with- out coming in contact with the enemy, but after accomplishing the duty as ordered further advanced some seven miles from camp, and engaged with the enemy. The enemy in overwhelming numbers, both horse and foot, attacked Plunkett on all sides in the open, but were kept off until ammunition was exhausted and the square was broken. Plunkett then gave orders to retire on zareba, and charged through the enemy with the remaining men. A few of 2nd King's African Rifles got through, and all the rest were killed. From the account of survivors, enemy came on in immense numbers, a-nd with bravery. They must have lost at least 2,000 men in their attacks on the square, and the survivors describe the dead as being piled in heaps in front of the Maxims. The square was subjected to heavy fire from surrounding bush in the intervals between the rushes on it. The detachments of both regiments engaged, namely, 2nd Bikhs and 2nd King's Africari Rifles, appear to have fought with splendid gallantry, but were overpowered by numbers, and at a dis- advantage owing to stopping power in service bullet. The Dervishes on this occasion fought with a fanatical bravery far greater than they have ever shown before. Their disinclination to follow up Cobbe's withdrawal shows how heavily they suffered. Names of British officers and men killed already reported. Remaining casualties were 48 of native ranks 2nd Sikhs, and 119 2nd King's African Rifles, and one of the 5th King's African Rifles, and fourteen native fol- lowers. 'Forty men 2nd King's African Rifles succeeded in reaching camp, of whom 34 are wounded. 'The wounded are all doing well. The force with which Cobbe started on his reconnaissance from here on April 10 was as follows:—1st King's African Rifles, 125 all ranks; 2nd King's African Rifles, 280 all ranks; 5th King's African Rifles, 51 all ranks; British and Burgher Mounted Infantry, 50 all ranks; section Camel Battery, 21 all ranks. 'Captain Vesey and 48 native ranks of 2nd Sikhs escorted convoy to CObbe, which reached him at Gumburru on 16th April. I Probable Future Action. Renter's representative has had an inter- view with an officer who has served with the Somali force for over two years and was present at the Erego fight. He only recently arrived in this country, and expressed the following views oh the present situation in Somaliland :-uThe loss sustained is very, serious, and must necessarily prolong the operations, for the officers reported missing were all men of African experience, and many had served in Somaliland for a prolonged period—some since the Mullah's movement was in its infancy, in 1898. The 2nd Battalion of the African Rifles has practically lost all its officers and nearly half its men. This was, perhaps, the smartest native African battalion existing; it did splendid work in Ashanti, and never wavered before the enemy. Strong reinforcements will, of course, have to be sent, and it seems to me that the importation of Soudanese troops would be likely to expe- dite matters. Camels are getting worn out and seemingly scarce, and as half the total number available have to be employed for transport on the BerberarBohotle road, the question of laying a light desert railway, as in the Soudan, should be seriously considered. This reverse will greatly increase the Mullah's prestige, and will probably have the effect of inducing the Hawiwa people to the south of the Webbe-Shebele to flock to his standard. I attach no importance to the co-operation of the Abyssinian foroe, which long before this is, no doubt, engaged in raiding on its own account. Last time the Abyssinians failed us, retiring as soon as their food gave out. No one who knows the country believes the stories that the Mullah's people are deserting him. The reports are purposely spread by the Mullah himself. He has never been short of men since the beginning, but he has always given out reporta of desertions."

KING EDWARD ON TOUR. I GREAT ENTHUSIASM AT NAPLES. The King landed at Naples on Saturday morning. attended by some members of the Royal suite, and went for a. drive. He first visited the old Carthusian monastery and museum of San Martino, and was received there by Signor Spinazzola, the director, who accompa-nied the Royal visitor round the church and the other buildings. The King was greatly interested in the various coflec- tions of works of art, especially in the cele- brated pictures illustrating Neapolitan life and scenes in the history of the city. He also remained for a long time enjoying the splendid panorama to be seen from the Belve- dere. Throughout the route traversed by his I Majesty there were large crowds, who cheered the Kinf with enthusiasm. In the afternoon bis Majesty, accompanied by a numerous suite, visited the park and Royal palace at Capo ti Monte, where he was received by the curator of the palace. The Royal visitor was again heartily cheered by large crowds. At night the King was present at a gala performance at the San CaTlo Theatre. The auditorium, beautifully decorated, was filled by a brilliant audience. Divine service was held on board the Royal yacht on Sunday, and was attended by the King. His Majesty then left in a launch, accompanied by the Queen of Portugal, and visited and lunched with Lord Rosebery a.t his TUla.-Reuter. FELICITOUS SPEECH BY M. PAUL I CAMBON. Presiding at the thirty-fifth annual dinner in aid of the funds of the French Hospital in London at the Hotel Cecil on Saturday, the French Ambassador, in proposing the health of M. Lotebei, said Frenchmen would never forget the goodwill and sympathy shown towards France by the presence of a British squadron in Algerian waters. It marked a bond of sympathy between the two nations which in itself was bound to have a far- reaching effect in fostering friendly interests between the two nations. and no one was more pleased than himself to know that the two would lay in methods of peace, and he hoped the French President's visit would not be the last he would make. In proposing the healtil of the King and Queen and Royal Family of England, M. Paul Cambon said King Edward's visit to Paris was looked for- ward to with an amount of pleasure that only Frenchmen who knew the King as the Prince of WaJes would appreciate. It was the hope of all Frenchmen that the visit would have the effect of cementing the good relations which had always existed between the two countries.—The Lord Mayor said there was no doubt that if King Edward had not been King by birth he would have been Parisian by choice.

TRAGEDIES IN THE DISTRICT. REMARKABLE AFFAIR AT NEWPORT. The dead body of a man named David John Harding, aged 37, of Gaskell-street, Newport, was found on Sunday evening in a yard off Coveradk-road, on the east side of the River Usk, under peculiar circumstances. He was lying in the grass face downwards, and on tut ning the body over it was found that there was the mark of a strap round his neck and a large bruise on his forehead. A strap such as many men use around their waist was found a little distance away. One end of it had been attached to the top of a rail of the fence, but having become wet with the rain appears to have slipped off. The bruise on the man's head appears to have been caused by the head falling against a stake of the fence. Harding was formerly employed at the tram- way stable, but had not worked there fot some time past. The body was taken to the mortuary to await an inquest. SUDDEN DEATH AT PONTYPOOL. Mr. Alexander Parker, farmer, Penlaagam Farm, near Pontypool, died with tragic sud- denness at Pontypool on Saturday. Mr. Parker, who was between 70 and 80 years of age, had only just come into town to attend 1 the market, and just opposite the general post-office in Osborne-road he dropped down dead. He was highly respected in the locality. BLAGKHEATH MURDER. Platell, the man arrested at Liverpool for the murder of the lighterman Booker, and wounding a police-constable at Blackheath, some time ago, was charged at Greenwich on Saturday. The police evidence showed that when arrested Platell stated he was drunk at the time of the crime and when be bought the revolver. He was very sorry for the dead man and for his family.—He was remanded for a week. I MAN FOUND DEAD AT PONTYCYMMER. The dead body of John Evans, a Pontycym- mer carpenter, was found on Sunday mom- ing on the metals at the foot of the Llest Screen Wall. Be was last seen on Saturday night at 10-30, when he was making his way from his sister's house towards the Braichy- cymmer Hotel. He was a widower 42 years of age, and, it is said, was leaving his sister's house with the intention of seeking new lodg- ings. He had apparently fallen over a wall 25ft. high, and his injuries included a severe scalp wound and a compound fracture of the leg. The body was taken to the Pontycymmer Hotel to await an inquest. I A FATAL NIGHT ASHORE. An inquest was held at Minora iiaven on Saturday afternoon by Mr. Price, the Pem- broke coroner, on the body of Wm. Guy, a native of Lowestoft, and third hand on the trawler Alice, who was found drowned on Friday morning in the Milford Docks. The Alice put into Milford on Thursday after- noon, and about six o'clock deceased and two messmates went ashore. They returned a little after midnight, but the police would not admit them to the docks in the condition they were in. The one sober man of the three was asked to fetch a small boat, and the police would assist him to get his mates aboard. This he refused, and the men went away to the Hakin side,' where they climbed a gate and got into the docks. Guy was behind the others, and when they were pass- ing a. dry dock he called out, Good-bye, and you," and then was heard a loud splash. His body was recovered some hours afterwards, a hat and pipe lying near where he had gone in.—The Coroner thought they were not justified in assuming that the words meant more than a mad saying of a drunken man, and a verdict of "Accidental death" was returned. [ NEWPORT PAUPER'S DEATH Felix McCarthy, an old man who batt Been for some time an inmate of the Newport Union Workhouse, was on his way to church on Sunday when, becoming unwell, he sajt down on a doorstep at the bottom of Stow Hill and died there. I WIFE'S SUDDEN DEATH AT BARRY. A married woman named Mrs. Shires, living at 126, Woodland-road, Barry Dock, died under painfully sudden circumstances on Saturday morning. She was preparing break- fast, when suddenly she exclaimed, "Oh, Harry." and, falling to the floor, she expired almost immediately. Failure of the heart's action is believed to be the cause of death. The deceased, who was about 40 years of age. was the wife of Mr. Henry Shires, a coaJ-trimmer, in whose presence the occurrence took place. Mrs. Shires was the president of the Women's Guild in connection with the Barry Dock Co-operative Society, and the social enter- tainment under its auspices announced to take place next week has been postponed.

THE MOAT FARM MYSTERY I Captain Showers, chief-constable of Essex, ■ after consultation with the Treasury, has, it is stated, decided to employ a number of labourers to continue excavations at Jaoat Farm in search of Miss Holland. The explo- ration of the immediate vicinity of the farm- house has been done entirely by four police officers, but operations are now to be extended to neighbouring fields, where ditches and other spots have been marked out for excava- tion.

NEWPORT MAGISTRATES' CLERK. I At the weekly sitting of the Newport (County) magistrates on Saturday the Chairman (Mr. Ebenezer Lewis) alluded to the change of clerk, consequent upon the death of Mr. Henry John Davis. Speaking with reference to Mr. T. Summers, who had acted for many years as the late Mr. Davie's deputy, and recently as clerk pro tern., Mr. Lewis said he desired to express the appreciation which the magistrates felt at the way in which Mr. Summers had done the work, the courtesy he had shown to the bench, and the general busi- ness capacity which he had displayed.—Mr. Summers said he was deeply grateful for so kind an expression. He had done nothing but his duty, and he thanked the magistrates for the kind manner in which they had assisted him to carry out the duties.

TREHERBERT LINESMAN MOBBED AT NEATH. Disorderly scenes followed the Neath- Treherbert match on Saturday. The crowd were incensed at the actions of the visiting linesman. particularly in reference to the incident which led to the disallowing of Harry Haniord's try, which, in the opinion of those in a good position to judge, was fairly scored. The linesman, however, said he had gone into touch, and the referee (Mr. Andrewatba, of Swansea), who was not near enoagh to see for himself, supported the lines- man and disallowed the try. At the con- clusion of the game the latter was hooted and mobbed, and after leaving the field was struck several times.

DOMESTIC INFELICITY. HUSBAND AND WIFE SEPARATED AT CARDIFF. One more tale of domestic infelicity was unfolded before the Cardiff stipendiary on Saturday. John Phillips, who lives at Thesiger-street, Cathays, has been married to his wife Jane for 34 years, and they each sum- moned the other, the husband summoning the, wife for habitual drunkenness and the wife summoning the husband for desertion. Mr. Lloyd Meyrick appeared for the hus- band, and said his client was prepared to con- tribute to his wife's support no matter how the proceedings might end. That being so, it was decided to take the case of alleged deser- tion first. Mrs. Phillips deposed that her husband deserted her six weeks aeo at 4, Minny-street, taking away the furniture also. Mr. Meyrick said that up till the last fourteen or fifteen years the parties had lived happily together. Then the wife had given way to drink, and was in the habit of pawning the household goods. She had pawned the bedding and her husband's clothes. Since March 13 the wife had been proceeded against four times for drunkenness, and she had also been admitted to the workhouse in a state of intoxication over and over again. In consequence of his wife's habits his client had now a heavy load of debt on his shoulders. Phillips worked as a lampman on the Taff Yale Railway, and earned 22s. a week. He had one child of the eleven born to the pair to keep, and, as a man who was honestly trying to do his best, it was only fair, if he contributed something towards his wife's support, that the ratepayers, through the guardians, should also bear a portion. The Stipendiary said he could not agree with Mr. Meyrick's doctrine that a portion of the burden of maintaining this man's wife should fall upon the ratepayers. Mrs. Phillips said that on one occasion her husband took hold of a carving-knife, and said he would cut her heart out, and he had also threatened to throw a lamp at her. He had further said he would "swing for her." An order of separation was made, Phillips to pay 5s. a week towards his wife's support. The summons for habitual drunkenness was withdra-wn. His Worship's decision having been given, the wife became very abusive of her husband.

I TROUBLE IN THE BALKANS SPREADING. The latest reports from the Balkans indicate that the revolutionary outbreak is steadily assuming graver proportions, and occasions considerable anxiety in official circles in Vienna. It appears that the disturbances created by Macedonian bands, which were at first confined to the districts of Monastir, have now extended to the Salonika district. Hundreds of peasants are said to be daily taking up arms and joining the insurgents, while young Bulgarians are leaving their em- ployment in the towna awaiting the call to arms. Fierce fights are of daily occurrence, entailing heavy losses upon the troops. Reports from Uskub are equally alarming. The Albanian movement, it is said, is grow- ing stronger, and Hilmi Pasha has ordered his troops to show no mercy to the revolu- tionists. Albanian raids into Servian terri- tory are becoming more numerous. On Wed- nesday last twenty Albanians entered the Servian village of Ynkojevatz and killed a peasant.-Reuter.

PONTYPOOL WOMEN QUARREL. At Pontypool Polioe-court on Saturday Elizabeth Munday summoned Annie Hayward, a married woman, for threats. Com- plainant alleged that on Sunday, the 22nd of March, defendant broke her window and afterwards threatened to smash her brains out. Mrs. Hayward continued to annoy and worry her all dAy. and in consequence of the threats she was prematurely delivered of a child, which was affected with convulsions. Mr. Bowen (the clerk) said that this sugges- tion could not hold good without medical support. The Bench ordered defendant to pay las. costs, and bound her over to keep the peace.

SPORT OF THE DAY Mr. Willoughhy will a<ct as starter at the Ascot meeting. Dakota III. has left Hallick's place-at Lam- bourn for France. The breakdown of Uninsured is not regarded seriously at Netheravon. Elsewhere it is. Mr. B. Wade's horses, formerly in Coulth- J waite's charge, are now trained privately. Newsboy's dam, Gamine, by Ba.realdioo- Geheimnies, was sold at Deauville last year for a very low figure. Mr. John Dawson passed a comfortable day on Saturday, and there was some slight improvement in his condition. Valiant is doing good work for the Jubilee Stakes. He is said to be one of the most improved horses in Darling's stable. The stewards of the Irish Turf Club offer prizes of £10 each for the best handicaps framed by amateurs for the Howth and Metro- politan Plates at the BaJdoyle meeting on June 1 and 2. During intervals of racing at Sandown Park on Saturday, Monotype (aged) was sold to Mr. A. Yates for 260 guineas; Exchange (5 years) to Mr. W. Dawtrey for 64 guineas; Ranunculus (5 years) to Mr, T. Nolan for 100 guineas; Gainsborough (6 years) to Mr. A. Yates for 45 guineas; Shipshape (aged) to Mr. J. S. Morrison for 150 guineas; Monksilver (aged) to Mr. W. Mills for 380 guineas; Rad- more (aged), to Mr. W. Pullen for 42 guineas. We are still puzzled about Over Norton and the Lincolnshire Handicap and the "sale" for XBDO! He was the best-looking horse in the City and Suburban, and ran a grand race. It struck us (says the "Sporting Times") that with a bolder jockey for Epsom than Maher he would not have been far from winning. We trust that the running of Over Norton in this race will be an everlasting warning to handicappers, and the running last autumn is not pleasant to look back upon.

The scores were regulated on the system of one point for the match and half a point for the bye. Mr. Eric Hambro, M.P., who met Mr. S. H. Petre, accomplished a good perform- ance. At the turn he was 1 up, and he ultimately won the match by 4 up and 3 to play, the bye being halved. Mr. Hambro's approximate score for the round was 68, or two strokes better than the amateur record accomplished by Mr. J. H. Neat. The last- named player, opposing Mr. Guy Pym, M.P., also did well for the home club. He was 2 up at the turn, and won the match by 2 and 1. The Hon. Alfred Lyttelton, M.P., gave Mr. Montroae Cloete a close match. Victory rested with Mr. Cloete, who won the bye, the bye-bye being halved. The result of the match was an easy win for Ranelagh by 7 points to 2. PROFESSIONAL MATCH IN SOMERSET. I On the Burnham Links on Saturday Taylor and Vardon met in a match over 36 holes.
