Roosevelt administration. ,-. -
The situation la .t&lsi., Jf General

mlttee. , ,1 . .
There, ia no question ."but .that the!
cabinet 'and the presldentsmade Miles
a prcmlnent issue on Friday night. "
It is said that all "but twp members
" of the cabinet were', for delivering a
- fulmlnation against '-.Miles., but that A
two eminent lawyers of-the body suc
ceeded in slaving off this action until
"a more opportune time,"
Thus It appears that the Intention of
the administration la to retire. Genera,!
Miles under the atatutory provision. If
this Ib done, while congress Is in ses
sion, it la evident that both the senate
and (he house would call for all the
papers In the case, all the reasons In
the case, and precipitate a fight In the
congressional election year. Thls.Jt Is
believed, will be avoided at all hazaris
by the president' advisors.
Fine the meeting of the cabinet
Friday last there have been eonfer
' ences and conferences. Secretary ROot
and Senator Spooner were with the
president Krday night. Senator Han
na and Senator Piatt of Connecticut
were with him Saturday.
A serious obstacle stands In , the way
of the president -acting 'against Geh-"
' era! Miles by reason, of his talk before
the committee. because Miles' jalk. was
privileged.
The report now Is that '. President
llooK.'Ytlt has decided upon General
Wood as the officer to command the
army in the event of the voluniaYy
retirement of General .Miles. It was
tated tfcat the president has expressed
the ) that a young and .vigorous
man !?uli' be at the head of our mili
tary pf-alrs In a progressive govern-
that of the United State.

The rebellion In southern China is

The native feeling has always been
strong In Southern China where the
Msnchu rulers are regarded as Intrud

pijsed to be Invincible, but the fact has
become known everywhere that th

the palaces.

IOWA'S SHOW AT ST, LOUIS FAIR,
Des Moines, la. March 26. The bouse
appropriations committee have agreed
to favor an appropriation of $150,000)
for "an Iowa exhibit' at the Et. Louis

that the sum will finally be reduced to
$100,000. The ' same committee agreed
to report favorably a bill to pay $100,00

BOERS HOLDING THEIR 6R0UND.

'London, March 26. Dispatches from
Capetown state that the ders are In
almost ;CjmJ51ete control of.-the north
ern and. western Transvaal, and that
!bey have a fully" organized- civil gov
ernment jn the hlljy country west ' ot
E-hgeibrecfit,' near the stream known
as the Groot Sterkstrom. Through this
civfl organization communication Is
maintained between the various com
manders and' they are enabled to act
in harmony and eu'Ikv effective blown.
Contrary to the general Impression
the Boers have the support of many of
the blacks, partly because the latter
dislike the English and partly because
there Is a belief prevalent among the
natives that the Boers will eventually
win.
Letters have been received front
South Africa to the effect that the
British reports of , killed, wounded and
captured are almost wholly fictitious.
The "prisoners" are usually non-combatants
rounded up to make a show.
The "prisoners" are often turned loose
after being counted and reported. The
troth Is that very few Boers are cap
tured, and there Is reason to suppose
that comparatively few are killed or
wounded.
