WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. U consid
eration of the naval appropriation
Mil Is completed Monday, as it is sup
posed It will be, the ship subsidy bill
will be called upbjr Senator Fry and
that Mil Till continue' to receive the
attention of the seaate during the re
mainder of the day. Senator Caffery
will take tic floor when the bill is
taken up and is expected to occupy
the remaining portroa of the day,
whatever time these jsajr be. left. Sen
ator Proetar has gfcrea notice that as
..h.i-.. 0i the cotomittee on agrt
cattare he will call is; the agricul
tural appropriation .Mtt'on Tuesday,
There win be no effort ""to prevent
disDlacesaea of the subsidy , bill by
the appropriation MIL The committee
oa appropriations hopes to be able to
report the lortineationa appropriation
bill by the time the agricultural bill
shall be disposed of a4 the army ap
propriation bill is expected to be
reached later in the week. The plan
is to have all appropriation bills acted
oa as promptly as possible after they
are reported, bat when tksrs are ao
Mils of that character before the sen
ate the subsidy bill will continue to
nave right of way.
No decision has been reached yet
as to whether there will be renewed
effort to secure night sessions ta the
considering of the subsidy bill, but
the present indications are that there
will be no further immediate attempt
in that direction. The opponents of
the Mil declare that in case of a re
newal of the night meetings the
friends of the bill wilt be compelled
to keep constantly in the-chamber a
quorum of their own, : While they
made frequent demands for a 'call of
the senate during the evening sessions
of last week, they alwaya themselves
replied to ibeir names whesi called.
It is now understood to be their pur
pose not tt do this in case of further
efforts to bring the . Mil to a vote by
carrying tao senate meetings into the
night.
Much interest Is felt in the effort
which is .to be made to secure legis
lation in connection with the army
appropriation Mil in regard to the
Philippic; sad Cuba. It has been al
ways supposed that any attempt tn
either direction would open up the en
tire colonial policy of the administra
tion and leaf to interminable debate,
bat thar; , is aow: nnsjuestionably a
quite general acquiesence in tbe ef
fort to be made for Philippine and Cu
ban legislation. Whether this due
to the tort that there- hai not been
. time to consider the bearing of these
two proposed amendments soflcjaatly
or to the geaeral desire to ajKHd an
aessi ki of congress, does not yet
r. Be that as if mar. a major-

BAST LONDON. Cape Colony, Feb.
11 Details have been received here
of severe fighting at Tabakaberg
mountain, forty miles east of the
railway and about midway between
Smalldeal aad Bloemfonteln.
MaJor Crewe, with a composite col
umn traveling southwest, sighted the
mountain on the morning of January
31. Me heard heavy Bring aad know-
in that Colonel Pitcher's column was
on the other side of tbe mountain he
concluded that this omea was in ac
tion. Consequently he hurried for
ward, only to meet Boers streaming
down and evidently rettrlag from Col
onel Pitcher's lyddite shells. Immedi
ately Maior Crewe brought three fif
teen-pounders and a pompon to bear
on the Boers, who. however, were
found to be so numerous that it waa
impossible to head them. Orders were
riven to return to camp, about two
miles from the mountain. The col
umn rested until 4 o'clock in the aft
ernoon, when the march was resumed
southwest. .
Major Crewe was Just touching the
southern oolnt of the mountain when
tarHAc rifl flr oiiened from a
lam force of Boers who were in am
buscade on tbe mountain. The fight
soon became general. The Boers out
numbered the British five to one and
were attacking them on both flanks
and the rear. The British pompom
Jammed and became useless. Major
Crewe grasped tbe situation and by a
brilliant move got the convoy into
safe nosttion.
Between 7 and 8 'clock In the even
ing the Boers charged the position
nil turned both flanks. The British
ammunition became exhausted and
Maine i1rw waa Obliged to TCt-rC
and abandon the pompom after the
advance party bad endeavored to
.... it oixt nai (sustained severe
A rear guard action was fought by
Major Crewe into the camp, where
tbe wagons had been laagtred. He
personally superintended the retire
ment, the Boers harassing him
throughout. Entrenchments were
thrown up during the night.
When morning came Major Crewe
stsrted to Join General Knox, twelve
miles southwest. The Boers immedi
ately reattached htm, compelling him
to fight a second rearguard action for
n tew miles. General Dcwet person
ally commanded the Boers, estimated
at 2500. Major Crewe's force was
only 700. Eventually the British offi
cer Joined General Knox and return
ed to BloamfocteiB. Lord Kitchener
has highly complimented Major Crewe
on the acbmlevement.

T. T. MayUtck will be Released from
Alyeabury pilson tomorrow (Monday.)
At th-X'nita States embassy nothing
is known about the matter, and Am
bassador Chwte when seen at his resi
dence tonight declined either to deny
or confirm c rumor.
Ever , since Charles Thomson

allowed ihi privilege of seeing her
New York lawyer, Clark Bell, last
summer, that gentleman told the Ree

his client's release were more favor
able than tcey had been at any otaer
time during her twelve years' incar
ceration. The authorities converse at with the
attempts to secure tbe famous prison

is to be given her liberty this may be
regarded as dne to the influence of

LONDON, Feb. 9.Publh attention
has again turned to South Africa by
the dispatch of reinforcements and
tbe publication of Lord Roberts' mail
ditpstcbes.
Rumors have been in circulation
that Mr. Chamberlain has reconsid
ered his South African policy and was
contemplating a round-table confer
ence with Mr. John Morley and Sir
William Hanourt and the recall of
Sir Alfred Mllner. The Dally Mall
savs It Is able to assert on Mr. Cham
berlain's authority, that the story Is
a fabrication and that tbe government
retains tbe most absolute confidence
in Sir Alfred Mllner. "Mr. Chamber
lain flatly denies" says the Mail
"that he haa had any communication
with any member of the opposition
on the subject of the war."
Lord Roberts' dispatch are not
regarded as giving any further elu
cidation of the conduct of the war,
but they are Interesting, as proving
that throughout the campaign he nev
er bad sufficient men, horses or sup
plies to cover such a vast field of op
eration. t-nrd Roberts asserts deliberately
' that the nermanent tranquillity of the
republic "depends on the complete
disarmament of the inhabitant, a task
difficult, I admit, but attainable with
time and patience.
Looking at all the circumstances.
Lord Roberts says the campaign i
uniaue in tbe annals of war" and he
pays the highest tribute to the gal
lantry and v-orth of the troops, de
claring that "no finer fwee ever wok
the field undr the British flag."
There is a aeneral Idea that the
dispatches have suffered considerable
excision at the hands of the war office.
Thev do not throw any further light
on the summary retirement of Gen
eral Colville or any other matters re-
garlng which the public is anxious
to hear.
The appearance of bubonic plague
at Capetown seems likely to add to
the difficulties of tbe situation, xne
authorities there have decided upon a
wholesale extermination of rats.
Should the dlseacs spread It will ne
cessitate changes in the military ar
rangements. . , .
Today Sir Alfred Mllner makes an
other earnest appeal to employers to
allow as many men as possiMe to
enroll in the colonial mounted defence
force. : ... " : ' ' ' " r "
From Delagoa Bay It Is reported
that the British have occupied Er
nuiin mnA Carolina, which until re
cently were Boer depots.
The Boers held up a Natal mall
train near Vlakfontein. The few aal
diers on board exhausted their cart
ridges and tbe Boers then lobbed the
passengers, afterward t allowing the
tral nto proceed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. The repub
lican members of the ways an.l means
committee met this afternoon to for
mulate a plan of action relative to the
war revenue bill, but no definite con
clusion was reached jcyond the-' deci
sion to nonconcur in the senate
amendment".
The action of the senate In substi
tuting an entirely new bill for the
bill as it passed the .bouse, is looked
upon aa a distinct invasion of the
prerogative of the house to initiate
revenue legislation and at the meet
ing today some of the members fa
vored radical action to sustain what
they consider the constitutional rights
of the house to originate revenue leg
islation. The plan was to ignore the
bill in Its present form and to pass
another entirely new revenue bill.
But this was regarded a entirely
too radical.
Another proposition, and the one
that met with most favor, was to re
nort hai-k the bill to the house tomor
row with a recommendation of non-
concurrence, but without a request
; . MfManMi This would require
th. unit to ask for a conference it

situation, however, la beat deacF.bed by
calllne; It a good strong; market. Common

fact sellers found It difficult to dispose
of that class of cattle. Packers do not
want them and will take them only at
their own prh-es. The cow martet waa
also active and stronger on good stuf.
tbe" situation being much the same as
