focrlcy Other Sem of the IVnr,
Lo.VDO.v, Tob. 10.-4:50 u. ru. It is
now amply confirmed that General
Cronjo escaped. Every tletail received,
howover, proves how admirably Lord
Roberto' plans were conceived and wero
succeeding. But for the unexpected do
lay at Dclsiel's drift, which wns almost
luipassiblo for wngons, tho wholo Boer
force would hnvo been surrounded. Tho
delay of ouo day thcro gavo them their
obonco for n'hasty retreat.
All tho othor inovoments oi Lord
Roberts wero evecut-'! ubouj on tilno.
Apparently General Croujo is retreating
with the main army, nnd oven if ho es
copcK altogether ho will probably lo.o all
hlH baggage.
Tho Daily News published tho follow
ing dispatch, dated Feb. 18, from Mod
der river:
"Our hudrton nppearanco seems to have
astounded tho enemy uud thrown them
into a panic. All thoir positions wero
hurriedly evacuated and tho big guns nt
Magcrsfontciu nnd Kimbcrloy wero left
bemud.
"General Oronjc moved his transport,
consisting ofhundreds of mucous,
along a bank of kopjes north ef tho
Modder river, near IfofTyfontein. It
went past our mounted infantry, but
owing to wonriness hod to btop. There
upon our artillery opened upon it, Tko
main body of the Boer forco kept up a
running fight tho wholo day, vainly try
ing to escape.
"Each time thoir ndvanco guard
sought to raoyo ofY our mounted infan
try galloped arouud and attempted to
stop their main movement, contenting
ourselves with trying to check them.
"Their posltlonnt Kotfyfouteln is said
to bo very strong. They entertain a
wholcsomo drend of 10,000 cavalry
moving moro quickly than (hey do
themselves. Wo hopo to bo iu Bloom
fontein Rhortly."
Tho Daily News had another dispatch
from tho Modder river military camp,
dated Sunday morning, which wys;
"At dawn, on Friday, tho Boevs wero
observed moving wiiuoiih along tho kop
jes townrd KofTyfoutuiii. Our mounted
infantry was sent out from Klip drift,
but was driven back, and tho onomy's
wagons passed.
"General Knox's Twelfth brigade,
however, quickly attacked tho euomy's
main body nnd scvero lighting went on
nil day over a lino which was very os
tended. Tho enemy, making a desper
ate attempt, filially escaped, owing to
tho serpentine bend in tho river. Tho
mounted infantry snfTered from tho try
nig flanking movement. Our forco bus
now been rcinforcod."
' .TAConsDAr,, Orongo Free State, Feb.
IP. Further details of tho Boer retreat
show that tho enemy has boon fighting
n good rear guard action and occupying
successive) kopjes in order to allow the
moving of thu convoy, which, however,
has been going at a vry slow pneo, tho
animals apparently being dead beat.
Tho latest l'oportn show that the
Boers jti tho neighborhood, of Klip
kraa'B drift aro undoubtedly disheart
ened. General French's magnificent muivli
is still (ho subject of admiration, espec
ially in viow of thostormsuud thunder
storms that nil cxi-orienccd.
Tho work of shelling tho Boors pro
ooods vigorously. Owing to thu stylti
of tho nctiou, tlio Boers nro bound tc
show in tho open whonuvcr they nrt.

movement of tho corps dovetailed with
precision, although obstacles ti. nt. had
uot been foreseen had to bo overcome.
Tlio oxcontion of his design began nt U
a.m. a week from last Sunday. Gen
eral French rodo into Kimbcrloy Thurs
day afternoon, about when ho was duo,
ncordiug to tho field mnrchal's tiiuo ta

marched 00 miles with artillery and
having fought two smnll eugogemonts,
Tho relief of Kimbcrloy was accom
plished with tho loss of only 0 mon.
Twenty Ihousaud infantry niado splen
did mnruhes under n sub-tropicul siui
and through n. dust stonn to hold tho po
sitions whioh General French took.
Lord Kitohoncr was with General
Tucker's division. In couw;quouco of
his transport arrangements tho four di
visions moving over tho sandy veldt aro
fed and watered. It J unruly possible
to appreciate adequately tuo matiicmuti'
eul precision witn wmou every
tho transport dorartment has wor
marchlim thronchtho dav, toiling
most sleeplebbly tliroughout tho night,
victualing the army and ovolving every
hour retails, from seeming chaos.
Everybody did what, was expected of
him cheerfully, though enduring fright
ful fatigues. Few slont moro than
throe hours. Tho battailous, hour nfter

Tho rapidity of Lord Roberts' move

problem, of tho war. Ho and Lord

The position of tho Boer army nt

ateMay Olivuin Other Iilnmlt.
Wasiii.votok, Feb. 10. The attention
of tho senate this week will bo given
largely to tho rolatlons of tho United
States to its Insular possessions. Tho
bill providing n form of government for
tho Hnwollau islands has right of way,
and if it should bo so fortunato as to bo
finally acted upou beforp tho close of tho
week, tho Porto Rican bill, tiuder tho
agreement inado iu tho Republican cau
cus last week, will bo immediately
tnkon up. Tho probabilities aro that
tho Hnwiuinu bill willbb dobatod at con
siderable length and that many amend
ments will bo oiTcrcd to ft- On this no
count, and bceauM) it may bo made tho
ba.Ms of moro or less general talk ou tho
question of the polloy to bo pursued to
ward tho how possessions', cpnsiderablo
time probably will bo necessary to tho
final disposal of tho bill.
All admit tho urgency of legislation
giving tho Kawaiiaus a government, but
there aro soma DOintson which theroaro
radical differences of opinion, nnd thoso
will havo to bo fought out. Tho most
important of those is tho quostion as to
whether the commercial intercourse be
tween tho United States und tho Islands
bhull bo under a tariff or under tho tree
trado system nllowod between tho states
of tho Uulou. Tho bill provides for free
trade, but sovornl of tho senators, under
tho leadership of Senator Piatt, of Con
necticut, aro making an cll'ort to socui'o
radical amendment in this respcot.
Senator Culloni, in ohargo of the bill,
will resist, nnd'ho will bo supported by
some Republicans nnd nearly all of tho
Democratic members. Practically tho
same fight will bo inado on tho Porto
Rlcon bill.
Tho Porto Rican tariff bill nnd do
bate upon it are to occur in tho house
this week. Tho vital question at issuo
in tho bill is' whether that clause of tho
constitution providing for equality of
impost aud excise taxes throughout tho
United States territory extends over tho
island of Porto Rico tuid in this is in
volved, perhaps, tho determination of
tho futnro status and government of
our now possessions, xno Jtcpuoucuus, i
in traminK.jno mil liavo procceuea upon
tho theory that tho constitution and its
immunities do not extend over Porto
Rico. Tho Democrats aro solidly nr
rayod upon tho other rido and in com
mittee they wero joined by ono Repub
licanMr. McCall of jMass-achusotts.
Among tho other Republican!- to tako
thn Minn vinw is Mr. T.lttlnflnlrl. nt .
Miilne.who sueoeqded tho lato Mr. Ding ,
ley. Ho won his spurs iu tho debnto
upon tho Koberts case and is nlready
considered ono of tho most powerful de
baters In tho house. Tho support of
these two prominent Republicans has
rnipod somo hojioM in tho opposition tlint
thoy may bo nblo to defeat the bill, al
though this hnrdlv seemed nrnbnbla nt
this writing. Both fides nro urewiriuK
for a roynl struggle. Mr. Payne, tho
floor leader of tho majority, will open in
bupport of tho bill. Ho will bo followed
by Mr. Richardson, tho minority leader.

tho lato Democratic governor, idso re
turned, nnd will remain here till tho
body of their dead brother is finally
buried. The body still lies in tho littlo
chapel id tho cpniotcry, tho relatives
having been slow to cfetormino tho ex
act spot of burial.
Tho question of reopening the contest
over tho governorship by presenting res
olutions iu both houses ratifying tho
action taken by tho Democratic legisla
tors on two occasions declaring Goebel
governor, was' favorably discussed by
somo of tho Democratic members. .Thoy
say this would not bo n- concession that
tho former proceedings wero illegal, but
would probably put an end to the con
troversy sooner.
Tho mattor has not' been decided on
officially, but a majority of tho mem
bers who arc outspoken on the mattor
expressed themselves ns opposed to io
opeulng tho mntter in any form. They
will abide by tho decision of the party
