CENSOR CUTTING WAR DISPATCHES
Boors Evacuate riiclr Position on tlio
Road From Dodrccht Mo\-enieiit9 of
the lirltloh In North Cape Colony Xo
Time for Speculation.
LONDON , March 5. ( New York
World Cablegram. ) British and Boers
met in battle again yesterday. A spe
cial dispatch to the World's London
bureau from H. F. Provost-Battersby ,
the World's war correspondent with
Lord Roberts " , says :
"LORD ROBERTS' HEADQUAR
TERS , Osfontein , Orange Free State ,
March 4. Major General French , com
manding the cavalry and mounted in
fantry brigade , while reconnoitering
to the westward today , encountered
the Boers in force occupying a table-
bhaped kopje. The British exchanged
shots with them , the Boers replying
with guns. "
The dispatch is unfinished and has
been delayed by the censor in Cape
town. Dispatches from Dordrecht , in
northern Cape Colony , say that Gen
eral Brabant , commanding Brabant's
litrse , a colonial force of regular
mounted infantry , with other colonial
troops , has-been engaged all day long
today ( Sunday ) attacking the Boers ,
who occupy a strong position at La-
bushagne's nek on the road from Dor
drecht northwest to Jamestown. Gen
eral Brabant had marched all night
and bivouacked toward morning. Soon
lifter daylight he came in touch with
the Boers , who had a strongly in
trenched position. The engagement
was pushed with great vigor. A heavy
rifle fire was exchanged , particularly
on the right flank.
The Boers gradually retired before
the British shell fire and evacuated
their position. The Boers had no guns
in action and the British were soon
able to press forward and take up their
rosition in the Boers trenches. The
Boers , undaunted , took up new posi
tions on the hill opposite , and during
the afternoon brought up two guns
and made a determined effort to retake
the position they had lost.
The Post expert says : "Roberts re
turned to Osfontein Friday afternoon , j
At that time 5.000 or 6,000 Boers were
in position. If the Boers have not
made a hasty retreat the next news
may be that they are surrounded. "
The expert thinks the movements
of the British in north Cape Colony arc j
advancing well except Gatacre. He j
believes the Boers are all out of the
Rjensburg district and that Brabant is I
threatening them in front and rear in j
the Dordreist country. He thinks ;
Gatacre can hold the Boers at Stock- !
strom , but criticises the acts of recon- ;
naisance in force without result when
scouts' patrol could get all necessary
information. He goes on to say : \
"Methuen has not been sent to Kimberley - !
berley with the whole First division j
for nothing. We may next hear the
railway is open to Fourteen Streams ,
which is only 170 miles from Mafeking ,
where all was well February 13. A
Boer telegram shows that the Boer
force from Ladj-smith has retreated
behind Biggarsberg. The Boers have
no chance of collecting more than 40-
000 men for a decisive battle in the
Free State except by complete aban
donment of Natal. Roberts is not
waiting at Osfontein to make up his
mind or for equipment. The proba
bility is that movements are in prog-
icss of which we hear nothing. The
present is not a moment for specula
tion. "
GERMAN FtARS Of ANGiOPHOB.'A.
Semi Olliciil licriin I'aper IScg * Unit U
Discontinue.
BERLIN. March 5. The semiofficial
cial Berliner Post , in a strong article
today , again begs the Anglophobia
press to discontinue the practice of
abusing British statesmen and gen
erals and British enterprises generally , j
declaring that "this does more harm j
than some may suppose. "
The Post asserts , on the authority
of a private letter from the Trans
vaal received at Hamburg , that the
Boer republics on January 15 had is
sued altogether 46,000 identification
cards to Boers in the field.
The writer of the letter says that
these figures represented the total fed
eral force at that time.

WASHINGTON , March 5. An im

Afro-Americans was held here yester
day , at which the testing of the suff

oughly discussed. Among those pres
ent were T. Thomas Fortune of New

CHANCE FOR LOTS OP TALK.
I'orto Rico , Quay disc and Currency nil )
In tlio .Senate- .
WASHINGTON , March 5. The ques
tion of seating Senator Quay , the con
ference on the currency bill and the
Porto Rican government will divide
the attention of the senate for the pres
ent week. By agreement the report on
the currency bill will be voted upon at
4 o'clock Tuesday and will have prac
tically the undivided attention of the
senate until that time if there are sen
ators who desire to speak upon it.
After Tuesday the Quay resolution
will be the uppermost topic during the
morning hour each day and the Porto
Rican bill for the remainder el the
day. There are still several speeches
Mo be made on the Quay resolution ,
I among those who are to speak being
j Senators Penrose , Spooner , Perkins
I and Carter , favorable to Quay , and
I Senator Burrows in opposition.
! The Porto Rican bill will be debat
ed at length. Senators Culberson ,
Turner and Pettigrew will make set
argument'against it on constitutional
grounds and Senators Nelson and
Depew will talk in support of it. The
Loard question of expansion will be
raised in connection with this measure -
| ure and it will provoke much running
debate , as well as many set speeches.
Senator Foraker , who is in charge of
the bill , says there is no disposition
to accept the house bill and drop the
senate measure , as has been reported
in some quarters would be done.
The diplomatic and the pension ap
propriation bills probably will be
passed during the week. Either of
them is calculated to provoke pro
longed discussion.
The house will devote this week ,
except tomorrow , which is District of
Columbia day , to contested election
cases. The debate on the Aldridge-
Robbins case , which opened on Fri
day , will continue Tuesday and Wed
nesday. After it is disposed of , the
Wise-Young contest from Virginia
will be taken up and probably will
consume the remainder of the week.
In both cases the majority has report
ed against the sitting members , who
are democrats , and the house will
probably sustain the reports , so that
by the end of the week the republi
can majority in the house will have
been increased by two.

also removed to a hospital. Edward
Walker , 47 years old , was burned , but
not seriously.
The fire was first discovered shortly
after 2 o'clock. Smoke was pouring
from the windows of the fifth floor
and the flames were making rapid
progress.
The lodging house was cut up into
132 rooms and ninety of these small
places were occupied when the fire
broke out. Policemen sent in an
alarm and burst" into the place to
arouse the inmates. They notified
the night clerk , who immediately rang
the alarms all over the house.
Taxes on Indian T.-inds.
WASHINGTON , March 5. Con
gressman Robinson introduced a bill
in the house providing for the pay
ment of a tax by the government up
on Indian lands held in trust , where
the same are located in organize' '
counties. The bill provides in a gen
eral way that the government shall
pay the same rate in the way of taxes
which lands of a similar character
held by settlers pay for the support
of the county. It is intended to in
demnify the respective counties
against the necessary outlay to which
they are put in the way of maintain
ing roads and bridges , schools and
school houses , located on these lands.
Sir. Itryait in Texas.
GALVESTON , Tex. , March 5. W. J.
Bryan rested quietly here Saturday. A
few intimate friends called during the
night. Mr. Bryan will leave here to
morrow noon for Austin , where he will
icmain for two weeks. He will then
go to Nebraska , to be present at the
state convention on March 19.
"That's my birthday , " said Mr.
Bryan , "and I will be 40 years of age.
Four j'ears ago it was said I was too
young to be president ; now the argu
ment will probably be advanced that I
am too old. "
New LiRht on the Philippines.
WASHINGTON , March 5. The War
department has published some statis
tics of the Philippine commerce for the
quarter of last year ending September
30 , which throws new light on the
export trade so far as it relates to
the United States. It is shown that
of the total exports of raw sugar ,
amounting to $1,143,349. only $85,002
went to the United States , while Japan
and Great Britain took nearly all of
the remainder. Also as to leaf tobacco ,
the exports of which were valued at
§ 355,463 , the exports to the United
States were trifling in amount , Spain
taking the lion's share.
Ocean T.lin-r's Prnllt .
NEW YORK , March 5. The Ham-
burg'-Ainerican line announces its
profits for the year 1S99 are 18,000,000
marks , an increase of 4,000,000 marks
over the previous year. The capital
will , however , pay the same dividend
of 8 per cent , applying the surplus to
reducing the book value of its fleet and
insurance fund. In consequence of
the larger tonnage required by its in
creased business it is proposed at the
next general meeting of the company
to increase its capital from 65,000,000
to 80,000,000 marks.

Congratulatory Telegrams Sent to tlio

LONDON , March 2. The War office
has received the following dispatch
from General Buller :
"LYTTLETON'S HEADQUARTERS ,
March 1. 9:05 , Morning. General
Dundonald , with the Natal Carbineer ;
and a composite regiment , entered
Ladysmith last night.
"The country between me and Lady-
smith is reported clear of the enemy.
I am moving on Nelthorpe. "
The news of the relief of Ladysmith
was received with much more enthusi
asm than any previous event of the
\var. Flags were immediately hoisted
on a number of hotels and other build
ings and General Buller's success was
everywhere received with the hearti
est satisfaction. The news has not yet
affected the Stock exchange. The lord
mayor of London immediately tele
graphed his congratulations to Gener
als White and Buller. When the ,
queen received the news at Windsor
castle the bells on the curfew tower
of the castle were rung in honor of
the event.
COLENSO CAMP. March l.r-New (
York World Cablegram. ) During the
'afternoon of the 28th the cavalry bri
gade pressed forward on the march
toward Bulwana hill , Dundonald in
the direction of Ladysmith. 'ine Boers
fired on both with artillery from Bul
wana. About 4 Major Cough's regi
ment , which was in advance , found
the ridges surrounding and concealing
Ladysmith apparently unoccupitd. He
reported to Dundonald. who thereupon
determined to ride through the gap
and reach the town with two squad
rons of the Imperial Light Horse and
Carbineers , the rest being sent back
to Buller's picket line. It was evening
when we started and only an hour of
daylight remained. We galloped on
swiftly in spite of the rough ground ,
up and down hill , through dongas ,
scrub and rocks until we could see
the British guns flashing from Wagon
hill howitzers. But on we went , faster
and faster. Suddenly came the chal
lenge from the scrub : "Who goes
there ? "
"The Ladysmith relieving army , "
was the reply.
Then tattered , almost bootless men
crowded round us , cheering very fee
bly. Even in the gloom we could see
how thin and pale they looked , but
how glad. We were conducted in tri
umph into town. At headquarters wu
met White , Hunter , Hamilton and all
the heroes of the defense. It was an
.mpressive scene. CHURCHILL.

AVar Department Receives Cabled Report
From Otis.
WASHINGTON. March 2. Three
cable messages from General Otis
were received at the War department
today. One contained a long list of
casualties among the troops n the
Philippines since the last report. A
second announced the arrival at Ma
nila today of a government transport ,
from the coast of Tayabas province
with eight American and -110 Spanish
soldiers recently relieved from cap
tivity among the insurgents.
The third message stated that since
the recent opening to commerce of
the island ports 13.000 tons of hemp
and 70,000 bales of tobacco had been
received at Manila and that large ship-
inents of the commodities named will
soon be made to the United States and
other countries.
The fact that General Otis has not
reported any military operations since
the departure of General Bates' expe
dition to southern Luzon to complete
the plan of opening the hemp ports
in that quarter is accepted by War de
partment officials as an Indication that
the campaign is progressing satisfac
torily and that our forces have not
met witA any serious opposition by
the insurgents in recent movements.

FRANKFORT , Ky. , March 2. The
court of appeals entered an order post
poning the argument docket ur.til the
spring term , which begins in April.
The order of the chief justice does
not give the reason for this action ,
but merely states that the judges will
hold their consultations at which
cases will be decioed as usual , and
that the court will convene on the
bench whenever the occasion demands
it. In democratic circles it is said
this action was taken on ac
count of stories that the lives of two
of the judges had been threatened.
THE LADYSMiTH FIGHT.
Ilrhlsli Trnoptt Have u Hard Time Drl\-
Inj ; llocr Forced Away.
COLENSO CAMP , March 3. ( New
.York World Cablegram ) Duller , hav
ing throw i a new pontoon bridge
across the river during the night ,
crossed with liaron and Kitchener's
brigade , which came into line beyond
the Tugela on the right of Hart and
Northcote's brigade , which were hold
ing positions previously captured. He
then made a general attack upon the
Boer left and center at Pieter's posi
tion. The action began at 8 o'clock ,
when Barton , who crossed first , defiled
along a gorge , turned northward and
attacked a cluster of kopjes on the
Boer left. All the the artillery , the
naval guns , Colt and Maxim batteries
and musketry of the Border regiment ,
the South African Lighters , covered
the advance from the high southern
bunk of the river. All the kopjes , ex
cept on the extreme left of the Boer
line , were taken by noon with little
ICES , as the position was completely
commanded by our guns.
The Boers maintained a vigorous
artillery lire on both Hanks. Mean
while the brigades under Kitchener
and Northcote deployed along the riv
er bank ready to attack Northcote's
hill , where the Inniskillings were suf-
lering. Kitchener held Railway hill ,
midway between Northrote and Bar
ton. The advance began at 1 o'clock.
Barton from a captured position en
filaded the trenches and the troops at
tacked with spirit , and although the
Lancashire men had been four days
and nights exposed to continual fire
from the enemy without shelter from
cun or rain they marched with alac
rity and enthusiasm to the assault.
The artillery , which was well handled ,
today made the most effective opera
tions yet seen and though the Boers
showed their customary courage our
advance was never checked. By 4
o'clock the next fortified position ,
joining Inniskilling hill to Railway
hill , was taken , upward of fifty pris
oners being captured in the trenches.
Immediately after Railway hill itself
was carried and loud cheering along
the whole front of the army encour
aged Northcote's riflemen to assault
the fatal Inniskilling hill. This they
did in good style , taking more pris
oners and occupying all the Boer en
trenchments.
Thus by 0 o'clock two miles of forti
fied hills forming the left and cen
ter of Bieter's position were occupied
by the British troops who were now
scarcely five miles from the outposts
ot Ladysmith. The Boers resisted
stubbornly and the captured positions
were shelled by their artillery heavily.
Another fast position still intervenes ,
but this White can shell equally with
us. Very great substantial success
was obtained without heavy loss.
Cronje's surrender and the capture of
Pieter's position may well divest the
28th of February of its burden of
shame.
7:15 : p. m. The six days of fighting
called the battle of Pieter's came 10 a
victorious close after great sacrifice
bad been made by the troops and
much hardship patiently borne. But
m spite of the heavy loss in an army
already reduced by hard fighting , the
loyal devotion in all ranks never wav
ered.
ROOT LEAVES FOR HAVANA.
Secretary of War Starts Out for : i Tour
of the I > ! aii-l.
WASHINGTON. March 3. Secretary
Root left Washington today for a fly
ing trip to Cuba. With him wre Mrs.
Root , Miss Root. Edward Root , his son ;
Colonel Carter , assistant adjutant gen
eral ; Private Secrtary YS. . Courtny
and Arthur Brooks , attendant. The
party had a special car over the South
ern railroad.
It is reported that the trip will oc
cupy about two weeks , allowing for a
week's tour around the island of Cuba.
The army transport Sedgwick is on its
way to Tampa and the party will em
bark on it tomorrow fcr Havana.
It ib known that the main object
of the trip is to enable Scrctary Root
to confer personally with General
Wood , and as the latter will accompany
the secretary on his tour around the is
land , there will be ample opportunity
for such conferences.
It is gathered from rather urgent
communications that has been rceived
here from Havana that notwithstand
ing the apparent serenity of condi
tions in Havana and Cuba generally ,
General Wood has reason for grave ap
prehension as to the future ; not be
cause of the possibility of outbreaks ,
but rather owing to the extreme grav
ity of important questions that are
pressing from all sides for immediate
decision.
ADOPTS INSURGENT TACTICS.
Col. Anderson Tries Hlx Hand at the Am
bush Game.
MANILA. March 3. Colonel Ander
son , with the Thirty-eighth infantry ,
employing insurgents' own tactics , has
ambushed the enemy near Batangas.
Through spies Colonel Anderson learn
ed that a detachment of insurgents
would pass a certain road. He posted
his soldiers concealed among the trees
lining the road , and when the enemy
arrived the Americans volleyed unex
pectedly , killing twenty-four insurgents
wounding thirty and capturing several.
Some arms and ammunition also was
raptured. The effect of this blow has
been salutary. The enemy in that lo
cality are dismayed.
There is nothing good in a man bur
his young feelings and his old thoughts.

of the Boers , in availing themselves of
all the opportunities in times of peace
