LONDON, May 6, <:*> a. m.— London has
b««n confidently expecting to have news
of the relief of Mafaklng before midnight,
but at that hour the war office stated no
further intelligence had been received of
Hunter's column, to which the publlo be
lieved had been assigned the work of re
lieving the town.
Beyond further detail* of the occupation
of Brandfort little or no news has coma
during the night

A dispatch from Thaba NChu, dated
May 4, says the situation la practically
unchanged, the Boers holding their posi
tion and sending occasional sheila Into tha
Brltlah camp. From the top of Thaba
N'Chu hill one can see over the Boer
camp. The country, through which a
number of Boera are trekking, Is exceed

are trying to draw supplies from the
Ladybrand district.

Anxiety Is felt regarding the fate of Mr.
Begble. who has been arrested in connec
tion with the blowing up of the shell fac
tory. Consul Hay is watching the accused
mail's Interests.
Uca. Roberts' Report.
Lord Roberts reports to tha war office
under date of Brandfort, May 4, as fol
lows:
"Hamilton advanced today to Neal Wel
kot. He was engaged with the >nimy
throughout the march. He speaks In
terms of praise of the behavior of the
troops, especially Broadwood's brigade at
cavalry and mounted Infantry."
Following I'f Hii Advantage.
Roberts Is evldentlr losing no time In
following up tha substantial advantage
gained by the occupation of Brandfort,
and his whola fores Is apparently moving
on Winburg.
Tha place mentioned In I/ord Roberts'
dispatch to the war offlca this morning
as "Neal Welkot" cannot be found on the
maps, and It Is likely that It is a cable
error lor "near Vet kop," at which place
Gen. lam Hamilton seems to be, midway
between Hout nek and Winburg. and that
he has thus got between Wlnbur* and
(Jen. Olivier* command from Wepener,
which Is occupying Thaba Patchoa.
Country Suitable (or Horr Tactics.
I let wean Thaba NVhu, Lady brand and
Winburg the oouiitry la rough and suited
to the Boers' taotics, so the British are
Uabla to be considerably harraased before
they capture the stronghold.
Experts differ as to whether Lord Rob
erts l« bound toward Krooiietad or In
the direction of Bethlehem. The latter
plaeo Is the terminus of the line Joining
*<th the Natal railroad at Van Reei'an*
pass, and the capture of that place noulJ
probably compel the Boers to leave th<
Drakenburg range and thus open the way
for Gen. Buller's advance. The British
will have to reconstruct the bride* over
the Vet before the railroad between Brand
fort and Winburg becomes available.

WASHINGTON, May 6-Secretary Root
today sent to comrrm a copy of an order
Issued by Uen. Otis und-Just received here,
providing for a system of civil municipal
government for the Philippines and for
the election of municipal officials by the
people. The order says In part:
G*>. Otis' Order.
"It Is with great satisfaction that the
United States authorities. In consonance
with former promises, promulgates In this
order the law by which the municipalities
of the towns of the Philippines are to be
etsnbllshed and governed In the future.
The law Is Inspired by a genuinely liberal
spirit and the principle of autonomous
government. It Is In Itself educating. It
Is calculated to urge on the people In the
path of true progress, if they are desirous
to understand their duties ss free citi
zens and make legitimate use of their
privileges.
Pan Exercise DiHrage Right.
"For the first time the Philippine people
are to exercise the right of suffrage for
election of municipal officers—a right only
slightly restricted by conditions which
have been Imposed for the purpose of re
warding. as well as encouraging the peo
ple In their just.and natural aspirations to
become educated and worthy to enjoy all
the benefits of civilization.
Rtfh Mnnlrlpallty Independent.
"With the municipalities a really auton
omous and decentralised municipal gov
ernment will be established In the towns,
since no provincial assembly Is created
In the capitals of the provinces or dis
tricts. and each municipality Is the legiti
mate administrator of the Interests of the
town and will keep, preserve and expend
for the publla welfare the municipal
funds."
Purposes of This Country.
After further explaining the general
purposes of the la/w. the order proceeds
as follows:
"A reading of the provision of the la*
clearly demonstrates the purpose, tenden
cies and benefleence of the United Htati*
government. Naturally It Is impossible to
frame legal provisions which are perfect,
but thoee are susceptible of further Im-

SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AT

ST. LOUIS. May 5.-With a parade of
military and ctvlc organiiatlons of Mis
souri this afternoon and an informal re
ception by the Loyal Legion tonight, the
two days' celebration in St. Louis In
honor of Admiral l>ewey came to an end.
Probably 540,060 people, including 7&.0A0
from outside points, stood patiently for
hours along the line of march to see the
admiral, cheered him wildly as be was
driven by in the parade, then pressed for
ward to some new point of vantage on
the streets along which the parade wound
its way through the business district! to
cheer him again.
A| some points of the parade the crowds
were so great that the police were ut
terly help'ess. and dozens of bruised and
fainting and crying children were
rescued on/r l»y the use of clubs, in some
cases the helples* ones being carried out
over the heads of an almost immovable
mass of people.
In* front of the grand stand at the ex
position building the crowd got beyond
the control of a hundred policemen, and
for an hour before the parade reached that
point packed the street from curb to curb
for a distance of three blocks, a narrow
passageway for the parade Anally being
clenred with great difficulty.
At this point, almost rxactly un.l»r the
spot whore tho admiral stood. a horse be
longing to an officer of the Culver mili
tary academy became frightened and In
an Instant ha.l thrown Ms rider and piling
ed into the mass of men, women and chil
dren. Rearing and kicking. hs tore hit
way through the crowd along the side
walk half the length of the grand stand
before he was finally brought under con
trol, leaving over a doien persons pros
trated and bleeding on the walk. Most
of them were only slightly hurt, but one
man and two women kicked or trampled
on by the crated animal were carried to
near-by drug stores.
Over the entire length of the line of
march, extending for nearly si* miles, the
admiral was given so hearty a reception
that he was kept bowing and doffing hla
bat continually.
The line of march was n* follows:
East 011 Washington to Channlng, south
on Channlng to I»cust, east on locust to
Fifteenth, north on Fifteenth to Washing
ton, east on Washington to Fourth, south
on Fourth to Clark, west on Clark to
Broadway, north on Broadway to Olive,
west on Olive to Seventeenth, south on
Seventeenth to Pine, west on Pine to
Twentieth and disband.
Tha parade ended. Admiral and Mr*

minister of war, and Count Von Schlleffeii,
the chief of the general staff, about ths
improvements hitherto held strictly secret
