Victory in Recent Encounters with Follow ers of Oom Paul Kruger Conflict ing Reports as to Outcome LONDON March 1 The war secre tary Mr Broderlck announced in the house yesterday that during the last two days 600 Boers had heen killed or captured and that 2000 horses and 28000 head of cattle had fallen into the hands of the British troops The prisoners include General Dewets son and the generals secretary Mania Botha the Boer leader was killed 0and thirty five dead Boers were found on the ground Over 100 horses were killed and 6000 head of cattle were left in our hands Other small attempts to break out were made and in two cases succeeded On the last day 450 Boers with rifles and horses were captured All the col umns have not yet reported and the operations have been wide but over 600 Boers have been either killed or are prisoners in our hands also 2000 horses 23000 head of cattle 200 wagons 60000 sheep 600 rifles and 50000 rounds of ammunition In response to an inquiry made by the government as to the fate of an escort convoy of empty wagons which according to a dispatch from Lord Kitchener made public February 26 was attacked and captured by the Boers southwest of Klerksdorp Trans vaal colony February 21 Lord Kitch ener has cabled the following Report has just been received that sixteen officers and 451 men were taken prisoners Of these one officer and 105 men have been released Col Anderson of the Imperial yeomanry who commanded is still a prisoner Major Enderby who commanded the infantry was wounded Hence the de lay in obtaining definite information Lord Kitchener says nothing in his report about the two guns that the Boers captured from the convoy and Mr Broderick secretary of state for war announced in the house of com mons that the government had no in formation beyond that contained in General Kitcheners report A dispatch from Harrismith also says that Colonel Rawlingson made the biggest success of the drive He completely surrounded a laager of 400 Boers and gave them one hour in which to decide whether they would surrender or fight The Boers finding escape impossible surrendered at dis cretion and not a shot was fired A casualty list published gives the names of 118 men who were wounded in the convoy affair The list of the killed has not yet been received WHAT GERMANY WILL SAVE Twenty Five Million Marks as Result of Sugar Convention BERLIN March 1 The German government will save 25000000 marks a year as a result of the convention agreed upon at the international su gar congress and set forth by the metropole of Antwerp In view of the budget deficit this is no inconsid erable item Furthermore the gov ernment has long been wanting to get rid of the bounty system if it could do so without giving other states an advantage The bounties began when Germany did not export sugar They grew without design to inor dinate proportions through the word ing of the law which did not antici pate the improved process of sugar production The abolition of boun ties gives general satisfaction throughout Germany except to the su gar interests RAISE THE DUTY ON Germans Decide to Make Money on Maize Imported from America BERLIN March 1 At todays session of the tariff committee of the rejehstag the government proposed to make the duty on maize 4 marks per 1000 kilograms instead of 2 marks the present duty The committee eventually

grains not specially mention was agreed to To Enforce Sanitary Law TOPEKA Kan March 1 The State Live Stock Sanitary commission adopted a rule requiring all persons shipping southern cattle into Kansas

2S At noon yesterday in the great hall of repre sentatives In the presence of Presi dent Roosevolt Prince Henry of Prus sia brother of the German emperor the members of the cabinet the jus tices of the supreme court the gen eral of the army and officers of the army and navy who have received the thanks of congress the ambassa dors and other diplomatic representa tives of foreign countries the senators and representatives in congress and a large number of distinguished guests Hon John Hay McKinleys secretary of state pronounced a eulogy upon his dead chief Four times before na tional memorial services for presi dents who have died in office have been held in this hail two of them like this in commemoration of chief magistrates who have fallen by the hand of assassins George Bancroft the historian pronounced the eulogy on Lincoln and Blaine was Garfields orator It was eminently fitting that the last public ceremonial of sorrow for the lamented McKinley should take place in the foium which had echoed his voice in the arena where he had won his spurs By a strange coincidence this was the twentieth anniversary of that on which the peer less Blaine in the same hall deliv ered his eulogy upon the martyred Garfield and stranger still the sub ject of todays memorial service was the chairman of the committee that had charge of the arrangements on that occasion Who then could have dreamed that the man who escorted the then president of the United States and the orator of the day to their places was destined to be hon ored like Garfield with the highest place in the gift of his country was to meet his sad fate and was himself to be the next martyred president above whose open grave the nation would bow its head Only one year ago less than five nays at tne Head or an imposing civic and military procession McKinley passed triumphantly along Pennsylva nia avenue for his second inaugura tion Six months later the tragedy occurred at Buffalo and another but different sort of procession tenderly bore his body through the streets to the rotunda of the capitol where the brief funeral oration was delivered over his coffin and the tributes of the nations of the earth about his bier bespoke the universal sorrow Yes terday once more with uncovered head the nation paid its last tribute of respect and publicly expressed its living grief In a Dangerous

colonial secretary Mr Chamberlain made an interesting statement in the house of commons today to the effect that the proclamation providing for the banish ment of the Boer leaders did not pre clude Lord Kitchener or Lord Milner from accepting the surrender of the Boer leaders on modied conditions Lord Kitchener on his own authority had already accepted the surrender of some of the minor leaders on the un der standing that the provision of the banishment proclamation would not be enforced French Cruiser Visits Cuba SANTIAGO DE CUBA Feb 2S French first class protected cruiser Tag of thirty six

the short skirt which is gain ing rapidly in popular favor It is un questionably the fad to have at least one short walking skirt for morning wear These are extremely smart when well made and are really lie coming most unusual as that Is for a short skirt To be correct these skirts must fit closer than ever over the hips whether made in box pleats aide pleats or without any pleats at all and there must always be consid erable flare around the foot In spite of the close fitting effect they must be wide enough to allow the wearer to walk with perfect comfort The velveteen short skirts with
