ROBERTS' PLAN OF ACTION.
Has His Troops So Disposed That the
Boers Will Not Risk a
Battle.
NEW YORK. April 25. A dispatch
to the Tribune from London says:
The news from the Free State pre
sents a clear view of the situation on
Monday night and a partial glimpse
of yesterday's operations.
A portion "f General Tucker's divi
sion remains at Karee Siding with the
Boers Intren-hed at Brandfort with
their reserves at Wlnburs. One brig
ade has moved eastward. The Sixth
division Is encampeJ at Bloemfontelrt.
General Pole-Carew's division, with
two brigades of cavalry, has occupied
Leeuw Kop after driving the Boers
from a series of strong positions with
out meeting with serious resistance.
The mounted Infantry, under General
Hamilton, occupied the water works
and the Boers held the line of hills
further east. General French sent out
cavalry toward Dewet's Dorp yester
day and Infantry followed, communica
tion being opened with Sir Henry Run
die during the afternoon. General Run
die was still marking time In front of
Dewet's Dorp, wl'h the Boers well In
trenched. Brabant's Colonials, with
Hart's brigade supporting them, had
flanked the Boers' position at Bush
man's Kop and forced the enemy to re
tire. They had then continued the advance
toward Wepene having had a running
fight with the enemy throughout Mon
day. They were within eight miles of
Wepener at noon yesterday and were
In a fair way to relieve Colonel Dal
gety's plucky Australians. The enemy
around Wepener was apparently pre
paring to retreat without waiting to
meet the relieving force.
These various operations are illus
trated by the diagonal lines of squares
on a chess board, both armies being
evheloned at four stations. General
Brabant, In the southeast Is ready to
make a move which Willi secure Wep
ener and force the Boers to retire to
wards Dewet's Dorp or Ladybrand.
Generals Rundle and French, in the
two middle squares, are preparing to
drive the enomy from Dewet's Dorp
and the water works toward Thaban
chu, and General Tucker In the north
Is threatening Brandfort.
The result of these operations Is fav
orable to the British but there Is no
decisive success apart from the relief
of Wepener, which has virtually been
effected. The mtltiary experts have
been hoping that the Boers would be
caught in another Paardeberg, but
there is no proof that the lines of re
treat are cut oft either from Wepener,
Dewet's Dorp or Korn Spruit, although
one road has been blocked by General
Tucker.
The effect of the British operations
If there be no set-back will be the
clearance of the district east of Bloem
fonteln. Lord Roberts' tactics are In
geniously devised. He meets the Boers
in their own way but In superior
strength. Their plan Is to always have
a series of commandos In touch with
one another. He adopts the same sys
tem, placing, his divisions in echelon
and outnumbering them at every point.
Press dispatches contain some Inter;
estlng touches, although the fighting
has been desultory and Indecisive.
Thousands of Basutos are following
the forces toward Wepener, looking on
from the edge of the frontier like the
spectators at the paling of a bull ring
and admiring the good points of the
game. The white races are offering the
blacks entertaining sport, even If they
are not helping to christianize them.
Lord Roberts' report at midnight con
tained a lucid summary of the situa
tion with one or two new features. The
Ninth division had been sent from
li3 Jk.
on the Lower Columbia.
Bloemfonteln to support General Ham
litem's mounted brigade at the water
works as the Boers were holding the
outlying hills in some force.
General Maxwell's brigade of the
Sovemh division had also movej east
ward and seised the hills covering the
wagrn brld.se over the Modder river
at Kran Krnal, therby closing an tin
porta nt line of the Boer retreat north
ward from various positions In the
south. There Is still, however, another
road open to them further east.
The missing patrol of the dragoon
I guards had rejoined General French
I I.ord Roberts was evidently well satis-
fled vlth the situation and the move
ments of the entire army disclose unity
of direction and clearness of purpose.
The Boers are apparently attempting
a diversion in the direction of Lord
Methuen. having reinforced their com
mandos In that quartet.
General Hunter's brigades have bfon
reported on the way to Klmberley from
Cape Town.
AN HEROIC WOMAN.
The Record of Harriet Patience Dame
as an Army Nurse.
CONCORD. N. H. April 25. Harriet
Patience Dame, the famous war nurse,
who Is dead at her home In this city.
began her charitable work at the out
break of the Civil war. She opened
her home as a hospital as soon as the
volunteers began to come to Concord
When the Second New Hampshire reg
iment went to Portsmouth to be mus
tered Into service she persisted In ac
companying the regiment to that city
and when they left to do service In the
South she followed.
There were only seven other women
in the country wh; did active sen-Ice
In the field as nurses and of those Miss
Dame was the only one to remain un
til the war was over. In the Peninsu
lar campaign she shar?d fortunes with
the soldiers, spending her first night In
Torktown In a fe?d box In a stable.
At the retreat to the James her cour
age and endurance rose to the height
of sublime heroism. The announcement
to the sick men In her care that those
who could not walk must be left be
hind fell upon many as their death
knell. Miss Dame was urged to Join
in the retreat and get to a place of
safety, but she refused unless "her
boys," as she called them, were taken
with her. Finally arrangements were
mad? to cvonvey the sick ones to the
nearest railroad station and when the
army started Miss Dame was at the
head of the column. With feet In
cased In rubber boots, a thin netting
of tattered mosquito cloth and with
a coffee boiler and a small amount of
coffee, the brave little army in a march
of four days reached a station where
the troops were loaded on the cars.
In the second Bull Run campaign In
Centrevllle, Miss Dame was at Stone
Churc and was taken a prisoner, her
captor threatening to shoot her If she
did not surrender without protest. She
was taken under guard to the tent of
Stonewall Jackson, who after learning
Miss Dame's mission within the lines
ordered a guard to escort her to the
northern lines.
She saoon afterward organized the
New Hampshire Relief asoclatlon and
was sent by Governor Gllmore to South
Carolina to Investigate the condition
of the northern soldiers. Miss Dorothy
Dix vigorously protested against the
sending of a woman on such a mission,
but Mlbs Dame was obdurate, and
started on her Journey. The result of
her Investigations, which were reported
by her to Surgeon General Barnes, was
that the convoys Argo and Fulton were
ordered to do duty as hospital boats
and were the first ones used In such
service.

THK INDIA FAMl.NK.
Representatives at the Koumenloal
Conference Make Appeal for
Relief.
NEW YORK. April !5.-An appeal to
the Ecumenical conference has been
made by all the Indian missionaries
In attendance for the relief of the
starving In India. The missionaries
say;
"AW deslr to add to the testimonials
from many sounvs already given to
the public by the press, our confirma
tion founded on personal knowledge
and experience of the unparalled and
Indescribable gravity of the present
famine situation In India. A calamity
so overwhelming in its vastness, o ap
palling In the suffering it tntlicts on
millions of the most helpless of man
kind, claims the attention, the pity and
the succor of every member of the
family of nations.
"We. many of us, bear In grateful
memory, as do our Indian brothers and
sisters, the relief which American gen
erosity brought to thousands and tens
of thousands In India, In the famine
of ISSiT. In the far mote powerful fol
iation, which the mysterious providence
of God has now permitted to at! We l
that great land, we turn to the I'ntteu
States for renewed and enlarged bounty
for a'l that an enlightened, humane
and wealthy nation can do to aid her
stricken and starving, her poor and
putlent sister."
The executive committee of the con
ference has practically arranged for a
meeting on behalf of the famine strick

Three to Be Constructed After Iowa's
Style, but as Large as Any In
the English Navy.
WASHINGTON. April 21 The naval
board of construction has finally ap
proved the plana for the three battle
ships authorised by the last congress
and gave instructions to have specifi
cations prepared at once prelimin
ary to calling for bids from
the shipbuilders. The ships will
be enlarged lowas In type with
the. same rectangular superstructure
and the two turrets, bow and stern,
on the main deck.
The turret guns will be 12 Inch cali
bre like the Iowa's guns; there will be
a turret at each corner of the super
structure carrying two eight inch
guns and 12 six inch rapid tlrers will
be disposed along the sides of the cen
tral citadel. The ships will make 19
knots speed and have a displacement
of about 15,.00 tons, making these new
ships by far the largest In the United
States navy and ns big as the latest
type ot British armored cruisers.
As the constructors are limited In the
draft by our shallow harbors to a little
over 25 feet, and as 75 feet represents
about the greatest beam consistent
with speed, it will be necessary to pro
vide for the weights by giving the ships
more length than the Iowa class, and
they will be almost 440 feet long. The
secondary batteri will be made up
largely of 14 pounders. Altogether the
ships will be mor than equal to any
warships of their size In the world's
navies.
THE ECUMENICAL CONFERENCE.
Yesterday's Session Continued With
Unabated Interest and En
thusiasm. NEW YORK. April 25.-Today's ses
sion of the Ecumenical Conference was
as largely attended as any preceding
meeting. Many speakers of Interna
tional note participated In the pro
ceedings, and the Interest and enthus
iasm of the distinguished assemblage
continues unabated.
"Educational Literature as a Means
of Moral Training," was the subject of
the address by H. C. Dwlght, LL.D.,
a missionary of the American board,
Boston, In Constantinople. Dr. Dwlght
said in part:
"Experience In the mission field has
rediscovered the power of the press.

tie said that the minimum equipment
of a mfostoit to any land must Include
the preaching to the heathen, the
church for public worship and the
school for training the young.
"In lands of the East von, the first
generation of Christians will need more
than the elements of knowledge. The
religion Is everywhere spoken against
and roJtcUd; Us votaries, conscious
of power, will have to win their pla.-e

Carbuncles, which are more painful and dangerous, come most frequently on the back of the neck,
eating great holes in the flesh, exhaust the strength and often prove fatal. Boils are regarded by some
people as blessings, and they patiently and uncomplainingly endure the pain and inconvenience under
the mistaken idea that their health is being benefitted, that their blood is too thick anyway, and this is
Nature's plan of thinning it. The blood is not too rich or too thick, but is diseased is full of poison and
unless relieved the entire system will suffer. The boil or carbuncle gives warning of serious internal
troubles, which are only waiting for a favorable opportunity to develop. Many an old sore, running ulcer,

Keep the blood pure, and it will keep the
skin clear of all the irritating impurities that
cause these painful, disfiguring diseases.

DECLINE OF 1UIAIIM AISM,
Tendency In India to Accept Teachings
of Christian Bible.
NEW YORK. April 2 .-Rev. Jacob
Chamberlain, a mlstonary to Hindoo

conference last night:
"There Is a trend In India today to

merely accepting the morality taught

the fact that many today reject the
reincarnation of Brahma and as
natural sequence it Is difficult to get

Christ.
