Little Light From Dispatches.
Lord Roberts' latest dispatch throws no
light on the object and possibilities of the
extensive operations In the neighborhood
of Thaba N'Chu. One military critic be
llevsw the Inference Is Justified that Lord
Roberts' successful attack at Hout nek
threatens the Boer center and puts the
British In a veritable position to crush
the Boer left, which Is still facing Oen.
Rundle at Thaha N'Chu, on their tight,
which Is somewhere between Bradfort
knd Wlndburg. Gen. Lan Hamilton's suc
cess at Hout nek elicits little Inthuslasm,
as the critics unanimously pointed out

Boers would be one of slow retirement.
All Well at Mafekln*.
Col. Baden-Powell reports officially from
M&feklng, under date of April 20, that all
was well there. He adds: "Thirteen na

them and wounded two. I wrote to Sny
man, pointing out that he shelled the na

children, and when they are trying to
escape, the Boer* flogged them and sent
them back, and at night they shot them
down, pretending to mlatake them for
night attackt. Bnyman ha* not replied."

there are diminished rations for 9,000 souls

"We cannot publish all the documents
Inclosed with your dispatch of February
13." and suggesting certain dispatches
which, In Lord lAnsdowne's opinion,
might be published. Lord 1-ansdowne
< added:
Jiut I would not feel justified In thus
editing the papers concur: and
you may perhaps think It well to refer to
B tiller. I suggest, us an alternative, that
we should treat your dispatch of February

und that Btiller should send through you
a full nnrratlve oUhn operation*. This
you could forward lb me with any obser

Lord Roberts replied to Lord Lansdowne
In a dl*t«tch dated Bloemfonteln, March
31, that he had suggested to Sir Itedvers
Huller to prepare a full narrative, but that
81 r Rndvers had answered as follows:
"1 do not at all like the Idea of re-writ
ing a 4Uput.li for publication. 1 must
prefer to leave It in the hands of the
commander-in-chief Let him select for
pabllcntlon whatever he thinks proper."
To this Lord Roberts appended that he
would n<'t himself object to publication of
a lApt-r edited as had been suggested by
Lord Lnnsdowne He asked Lord ljins

This reply from Lord Lansdowne, dated
April 2. said: "In view of Buller'a ob

PRETORIA, May 3.-An official war bul
letin Issued here reports that on April
28 the federals captured nine prisoners and
ten horses east of Thaba N'Chu, and that
on April 30 a British mounted corps ap
peared near Brandfort. The federals at
tacked them on two sides and the Brit
ish retired. Two federals were wounded
and eleven prisoners were taken.
Another account seml-offlclaily of this

the British near Brandfort. After a sharp
fight eleven prisoners were taken and nine
teen British were left dead on the field,

were wounded.
HEADQUARTERS OF THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE.
Heavy bombardment by the British has

The correspondent of Reuter's Telegram
agency In the Boer camp at Brandfort
wires that when the British appeared, ten
miles east of Brandfort. Gen. Delarey or
dered a charge by GOO Boers, who drove
them back to their Inlrenchments. The
federals found four dead upon the tleld
and took seventeen prisoners, mostly
wounded. Including I.leut. Crane. Later
In the afternoon Gen. Delarey learned

twenty miles east of Brandfort and seven
miles north of the Modder river. With
2io men Delarey set out In pursuit of the
British, who numbered IJDO. The forces

to the president, which the former had
read yesterday.
Tillman and Pettlgrew had a discussion
as to the affairs In the Philippines; Pettl
grew contending that no mere fragments
of a tribe was opposed to the United
States In the Philippines, but that the en
tire population was antagonistic. Only a
small circle of the country around Mani a
had been conquered by our forces' and
he asserted that a standing army of 101" ,000
men would be necessary to maintain order
in the Islands.
Teller Advocates Travel Pay.
Teller advocated the amendment for
travel pay, saying that we could maintain
an army in the Philippines only by pursu
ing a liberal policy. Suppoee it did ctst
J7.000.0f10. that was a mere bagatelle com
pared with the entire cost of the war.
Teller said he had been assured by an
army officer who had been recently re
turned from the Philippines that we did
not actually hold a district In the island
of Luzon bigger than the District of Co
lumbia. This was no more territory than
was held a j-eir ago. He did not, ht bald,
mention this fact as a crimination against
'he government on this account, but on
the other hand It was puerile to say that
the money due the troops should bp with
held far mere motives of economy.
What Troops Received.
Proctor read extracts from the report of
the adjutant general explaining the cir
cumstances under which travel pay had
been allowed to some of the troops and
withheld from others. He said that no
military organization as such has received
The Kansas City Qub ( Twelfth and Wyndottc Streets.
travel pay from Manila, but that auch al
lowance had been mado in many indi
vidual cases. The Astor battery was com
posed largely. Proctor said, of men In the
regular army, and on the whole they had
fared not ho well ns some of the purely
volunteer organizations.
Tnrncr la Not Satisfied.
Turner referred to the fact that a reso
lution had been adopted by the senate two
months ago asking for a list of soldiers
who had received travel pay, and that the
paymaster general had replied that his
force was Insufficient to supply the data
during the present aesslon of congress. If
this wus {rue, he said, It was hardly con
sistent to say. as Proctor had said, that
there were only scattering Instances In
which the extra pay had been allowed.
Tillman criticised the war department
for not supplying the Information asked
for by the senate.
Th«> Vnmlirr of Snlcldrs.
Replying to Pettitfrew's charge as to the
prevalence of Inaenlty and suicides among
the soldiers In the Philippine*, Hawley

sylvania, the venerable ex-speaker of the
house, who forty-eight years ago fathered
and had passed the original homestead bill.
He was then the youngest and Is now the
oldest member of the house. The remain
der of the day was devoted to the sundry
civil appropriation bill, the last but one
of the great supply bills.
The house went into committee of the
whole to consider the free hornet bill.
Eddy (Minn.), In charge of the bill, made
the impelling speech In favor of the bill.
Kddy said all party platforms had declar
ed In favor of this.
Fiinn (Oklahrma) In advocating the bill
■aid It wag a mistake to suppose that ,t
gave settlers their homes fre*. They
wowld have to reside upon their lands and
cultivate them for five years before secur
ing title.
Maddox (Ga.) opposed the bill. He said
It would cost the government $30,'>59.%4.
In reply to a question Eddy said that
the proviso relative to the agricultural col
leges would be to their advantage.
Grow, the vtnerable ex-speaker of the
house and author of the homestead bill,
supported the measure. The scene before
him, he said, reminded him o,f the ..occa
sion In the old hall of representatives forty
eight years ago. when he made ills speech
on "man's to the soil." Grow was
given an ovation. By unanimous consen:
It was ordered that his original home
stead speech be printed in the record.
"I was the youngest member of the
house," said he. "I am now the nlde-t."
Wilson (Idaho) vigorously advocated the
bill.
Messrs. Shafroth, Meyers, Lacey. Bell,
Jones (Wash ), Burke. Snodgrass, Under

favor of the bill.
The committee amendments to the bill
were agreed tp.

was then passed amid enthusiasm In the
galleries.
The house then took up the sundry civil

Cannon said he was very anxious to fin

The Inquest was begun this morning at

was killed in the mine. The Jury did not

the disaster, but simply found that Hunter
met his death In the mine through an ex
plosion. State Mine Inspector Thomas tes.
tilled that It was his opinion that the ex
plosion was caused by a "tight, heavy
shot." He said the mine was free from
gas. He has examined the place where It
was claimed powder had been stored, and
said It was plainly evident that the ex
plosion started where the powder was
stored, as the bodies taken from that
point were badly burned.

WASHINGTON. May 3.-The French am

and Secretary Hay today and conveyed
the condolence of the French republic to
the president of the United States over the

ed the secretary the following personal
letter on the subject:
"Embassy of the French Republic In the

the terrible catastrophe which has taken

EXPLANATIONS CAUIID FOR.
English Government Asked Reasoa
for Hoarding American Ships.
LONDON, May 3.—lt has been learned
by a representative of the Associated
Press that Cnlted States Ambassador
Choate has asked I«ord Salisbury for ex
planations as to the alleged abuse of In
ternational right In the case of the Amer
ican ship Sea Witch, which, according to
the statement of her commander ( ap
taln Howe, was hoarded by the British
warship Wasp within the three-mile limit ,
of Portuguese territory In East Africa.
The American ship Sea Witch left Wal
lorroo. December 18. and arrived at Del
:igoa bay. February 14. She sailed, March
for Port Natal (Durban!, pnd arrived
there March 9.
The American ambassador's communi
cation to the premier hardly amounts to
a protest, anu serious complications are
not likely to ensue. The case ,is trans
mitted by Secretary Hay to London con
sists of the captain's allegation that while
the Sea Witch was off Delagoa bay he
signaled to the Wasp, whleh was patrol
ling. and the Wasp sent a boat to her.
The captain of the Sea Witch complains
'hat the visit resembled » warlike board
lru " and ibn* bli nardfest was ex
amined ngainst his will, when pa
v., ~tn i ... *.t ll the latter state
ment Is true, i -eri .us offense has been
committed by the Wasp, which will call
for an ample ap» logy from Great Ilittaln.
But It is pointed out that the fact that
th. Sea Witch signaled the Wasp befare
the warship noticed tier Invests the case
with a curious uncertainty. Apparently
both Mr. Cheat* and Lord Salisbury are
Inclined to believe that there Is some mis
take. perhaps on both sides. The premier
has referred the matter to the admiralty,
which has no record of the occurrence,
but has cabled to South Africa for the
Wasp's version of the affair, and It Is
possible that some time may elapse before
the British reply Is ready.
In the meantime, the Incident does not
Interfere In the slightest degree with the
cordiality existing between the represen
tatives of the two nations Interested.
