LONDON , May 7. The War office
has published the following dispatch
from Lord Roberts , dated Vet river ,
Saturday , May 5 , 7:15 : p. m. :
"I marched here today with Pole-
Carew's division. Headquarters and
Wavell's brigade of the Seventh divi
sion are two miles in the rear. Max
well's brigade of the Seventh division
is the same distance to our right.
"The enemy are in considerable
strength on the opposite bank of the
river. Our guns engaged theirs for
some three hours without our being
able to force a passage of the river ,
but shortly before dusk the mounted
infantry , under General Hutton , turned
the enemy's right and in a very dash
ing manner pushed across the river
under heavy shell and musketry fire.
"We are now bivouacking for the
night within three miles of Vet river.
Our casualties , I hope , are not numer
ous.

"Hamilton was in action yesterday
and succeeded in preventing a junc
tion of two Boer forces by a well exe
cuted movement by some of the House
hold cavalry , the Twelfth Lancers and
Kitchener's horse , who charged a body
cf the enemy and inflicted serious loss ,
The enemy fled , leaving their dead on
the field and -their wounded to be at
tended to by our doctors.
"Macdonald's Highland brigade dis
lodged the enemy on the right flank
under cover of the naval guns , in
which operation the Black Watch dis-
tingnished themselves and were very
skillfully led.
"Hamilton was advancing this morni
ing to a difficult drift over the Kleinef
vet river.
"Hunter reports that Barton's brige
ade was heavily engaged this morning
two miles north of Rooidan. The |
enemy's position was quite four miles |
long and strongly held. He states
that our men marched magnificently
and carried ridge after ridge in grand
style.
"Casualties in this force , in Ham
ilton's and Hunter's will be reported
as soon as possible.
"Captain Miller , who was taken
prisoner near Thaba N'Chu , has been
sent to Rundle's camp by the enemy
with a severe wound in the abdomen.
"Brabant reports that one sergeant
and three men were captured on May
2 while on patrol and that one of
them , who had been brutally ill-
treated and left for dead by the Boers ,
was found the following day.
"Lieutenant Lilley , Victoria Mounted
Rifles , reported missing , was found at
Brandforc dangerously wounded and
has been most carefully attended by
the Netherlands ambulance. "
WARRENTON , May 7. Yesterday
General Barton drove from 2,000 to
3,000 Boers from hilly positions at
Rooidan , where they awaited them.
They retreated after stiff fighting ,
leaving a number of dead on the field.
The British casualties were slight.
General Barton is still pursuing.
Windsorton and Klipdam have been *
evacuated.
General Paget's brigade is attacking
the Boer position at Warrenton.
The engagement yesterday was se
vere and lasted from 9 in the morning
until 4 in the afternoon. More than
once the British infantry were obliged
to engage the Boers at close quarters
and the Boers only retired when their
retreat was nearly cut off. The Brit
ish losses were five killed and twenty-
five wounded mostly Welsh Fusileers.
The British took a batch of prisoners ,
including the Swedish ambulance ,
which they allowed to return. The
Boers , in their hurried retreat , left Vl
thirteen dead.
Tdday General Paget made a strong
demonstration against the Boer posi
tion east of the bridge , thereby pre
venting Boer reinforcements going to
assist in checking General Barton's
advance.

CONGRESS AT ROUTINE WORK
Nothing of Special Interest Is Promised
for the Coming Week.
WASHINGTON , May 7. Routine
business probably will occupy the
greater part of the senate's attention
during the present week. The reso
lution offered by Teller , expressing
sympathy for the Boers and a desire
that the government extend to both
Great Britain and the South African
republics its friendly offices in bring
ing the present war to a close will bo
called up tomorrow. It is the intention
of the Colorado senator to press his
resolution to an early vote. It prob
ably will be referred to the committee
on foreign relations , but Teller will
insist that it be reported in some form
at an early date.
Hale , either tomorrow or Tuesday ,
will bring forward the njval appropri
ation bill and very likely the greater
part of the week will be devoted to its
discussion. With the latitude of de
bate allowed under the senate rules , it
is quite probable that senators will
discuss the Boer resolution- Phil
ippine question and other matters re
lating to the foreign affairs of the gov
ernment while the naval bill is under
consideration.
On Thursday the Montana senatoria
case will be called up , but it will not
be allowed to interfere with the con
sideration of the appropriation bills
It is the undoubted purpose of the sen-
ite leaders to bring about an adjourn
ment early in June , the first week il
possible , and unless the unexpected
should happen , nothing will be per
mitted to delay adjournment beyonc
the middle of June.
The attention of the house this week
will be occupied with various miscel
laneous business , except such time as
may be devoted to the consideration
of conference reports on appropriation
bills ] , which will be given the right of
way. The desire for an adjournment
early in June makes it absolutely
necessary to expedite the supply bills.
The most important piece of gen
eral legislation to be acted upon dur
ing the week will be the amended sen
ate bill to amend the general pension
IPWS. ] This is known as the next Grand
Army of the Republic bill. The princi
pal changes it purposes to make in ex
isting i laws are provisions for aggre
gating disabilities and equalizing rat
ings i and to increase the limit of in
come of widows pensionable under the
net of 1890 to $250. This bill will be
placed j upon its passage tomorrow under -
der suspension of the rules. The bill
appropriating $1,000 for the militia of
the several states also may be called
up under suspension of the rules.
Tuesday , under an order made on
Friday , will be given to the committee
on claims and Friday the war claims.
It is not improbable that the contested
election case of Pearson against Craw
ford , from the Ninth North Carolina-
district , may be called up Wednesday
or Thursday.
SUCCESS FOR THE NATIONALISTS
Victory for the Paity in the French Mu
nicipal Elections.
PARIS , May 7. Although it was
fully recognized that the nationalists
intended to make a determined fight in
all the wards of Paris on the occasion
of the municipal elections held yester
day throughout France it was never
seriously contemplated that their ef
forts would be crowned with such sue-
cess as is shown by the results , which
must be recognized as dealing a serious -
ous blow to the republicans and radi-
cals.
The results show fifty definite elec-
ticns in Paris. In thirty wards second
ballots will be necessary. The nation
alists have gained eight seats , five
from the republicans and three from
the radicals. The successful candidates
include MM. Gaston-Mery , Galli , Leeds -
pelietier and Barretier.
The republicans have secured eight
seats , including seven members of the
old council. The radicals and radical
socialists ten and the conservatives
eight.
In wards where second ballots are
necessary the nationalists obtained
the most votes in eleven cases , but the
total votes polled by their competitors
was higher than the number obtained
by them.
To Study American Methods.
SAN FRANCISCO , May 7. R. Kon-
do , president of the Nippon Yusen
Kaisha"one of the leading steamship
companies of Japan , has come to this
country to make a study of the metliv
ods of transportation by rail and water
lines. He wil visit the Pacific coast
n
centers and then go east to New York.
"The building up of trade on the
Pacific coast from 1893 to 1898 justifies
the prediction , " he said , "that the
progress of development during the
next few years will be greater than
ever before. We favor an open-door
policy and I believe that if we can
make a commercial compact with the
United States we can control the trade
of China. We need capital for the
development of our manufacturing
industries. If we can get it from Amer
ica we can do the rest and make large
profits for both countries. Personally ,
do not believe that there is any dan
ger of war with Russia. "
Shooting in Great Crowd.
KNOXVILLE , Tenn. , May 7. At
Chilowee park this afternoon , in the
presence of a large gathering of people
ple , Rufus F. Beard fired three shots
into the heart of George Turner , kill
ing him instantly. There had been a :
difficulty of long standing between the
men , both of whom were leading
blacksmiths. Turner was advancing of
Beard with an open knife when the
shots were fired.
Rebels Kuy Torpedo Hoar.
KINGSTON , Jamaica , May 7. News
from Colombia today , by the British
steamer Atrato , Captain Powles , says
the Colombian government is consid
erably exercised over a report that
the rebels have purchased a torpedo
boat from Germany , and expect soon
attack Sabanilla , department of
Bolivar , near the south of the Magdalena - by
lena river. The Sabanilla merchants
are said to discredit the rumor , but
other inhabitants are . much , ,
alarmed.
Roberts' Porco Has Advanced Over Half a
Hundred Miles North ,
THE fcOEBS RETIRE OUT OF REACH
But Little Opposition and That From
Irish-American llrlgadc Itcport Tlmt
the Irish Lost Severely Mounted In
fantry Has Picketed Its Horses on the
Vet's Hanks.
LONDON , May 5. The War office is
sued the following from Lord Roberts ,
dated Brandfort , Friday , May 4 :
"The mounted infantry has gone on
to the Vet river. The rest of the
force will march there tomorrow. The
railway has been repaired to this
point.
"Hunter reports very satisfactory
news that the passage of the Vaal has
been carried at Wiudsorton without
opposition. "
Lord Roberts reports to the War of
fice as follows , under date of Bloem-
fontein , May 3 : "We occupied Brand-
fort today without much opposition
and without , I hope , many casualties.
The First brigade of mounted infan
try covered the left flank of the Four
teenth brigade of the Seventh division
and the right flank was supported
by the Fifteenth brigade. Pole-
Carew's division advanced directly on
Brandfort. The Boer army , which
was under command of Delarey , re
tired in a northeasterly direction. "
The mounted infantry , with Lord
Roberts , among which are the Cana
dians , has picketed its horses on the
banks of the Vet river , eighteen miles
north of Brandfort. The head of
Lord Roberts' column has advanced
thus , in two days , fifty-two miles north
of Bloemfontein.
Little power was spent. The Brit
ish work was hard marching , [ the
Boers retiring out of reach of the
British shells. The correspondents
supplement Lord Roberts' plain state
ment with a few details.
As General Hutton , with the firs1 ;
mounted infantry brigade , drew near
Brandfort he saw a khaki-clad body
of troops ahead of him. He was sur
prised , but thought they must be
British. Soon , however , they opened
fire on the British , who replied heav
ily. They were the Irish-American
,
brigade from Lourenzo Marquez , and
it is . reported that the Irish lost se-
verely.
The Boer flag was flying over Brand-
fort as the British entered the town.
Several British wounded were found
in the hospital. The Boer postmaster
gave up the keys of the public build
ing to Captain Ross.
Lord Kitchener arrived at Brand-
fort at noon and Lord Roberts at dusk.
General French's cavalry is sweeping
the country northward. The expecta
tion is the infantry advance will be
continued toward Kroonstad immedi
ately. Although no prisoners were
taken and no hot pursuit was under
taken , the news has cheered London.
Nevertheless it has not been received
with the fine rapture that attended
Lord Roberts' first successes.
General Hunter's crossing the Vaal
at Windsorton brings the relief of
Mafeking , 195 miles beyond , almost
within a calculable interval. It is
now regarded as quite possible that
Mafeking may be succorded before the
queen's birthday.
The Boer army , which was at
Brandfort , commanded by General De
larey , is presumably retiring on Win-
burg . , which will possibly be the next
immediate objective of the British.
Brandfort , thirty-five miles nearer the
Transvaal capital , is now Lord Rob
erts' headquarters.
CABINET DISCUSSES ISLANDS.
Much Time Given to JTcw Hawaiian and
Porto Rican Acts.
WASHINGTON , May 5. At the
cabinet meeting considerable time was
consumed in discussing the new Ha f
waiian and Porto Rican acts. Al
though the treaty under which Ha titl
waii was annexed to the United States tla
provided that the United States should tln
assume the debt of the islands , n
amounting to about $4,000,000 , there \
was some doubt as to the right of ao
Secretary Gage under the Hawaiian aSi
act to pay off the debt and it is prob Sif
able that a bill will be introduced in f
congress , with a view to settling the ta
matter right. th

cher said :
"If we are at war with the British
it is not because we wish or ever did
wish to quarrel with them. We be
lieved the British wanted to quarrel
with us.
"Our ultimatum was issued under
the belief that our destruction had
been determined upon. We believed
all our concessions had been rejected
and that nothing we could offer would
prevent them from seizing our terri
tory.
"Since then your prime minister has
declared that you want no territory
and your colonial secretary told Par
liament that he intended , in his Sep
tember dispatch , to accept nine-tenths
of our conditions.
"If these speeches had been made in
September instead of October and No
vember we would never have formu
lated an ultimatum. Therefore we
come , in the light of these belated
assurances , to see if the war can be
stopped. That is the object of our
mission and its object only. We will
gladly consent to submit all questions
of guarantees and indemnity to the
decision of any imperial tribunal.
Grant us that and we will lay down
our arms tomorrow. "
LODGE TO BE THE CHAIRMAN.
Details for the Re-nomination of Presi
dent Molclnley.
NEW YORK , May 5. Jo-reph H.
Manley of Main& was at the Fifth
Avenue hotel today and had talks
with several local politicians concern
ing the seating arrangements of the
Philadelphia convention. Some of
the local leaders who talked with
Manley said that it had been prac
tically settled by the national repub
lican managers that Senator Wolcott
of Colorado will be temporary chair
man and Senator Lodge permanent
chairman.
It had been settled that Senator
Foraker of Ohio should make the
speech renominating McKinley. Han-
na's plan , it was further stated , waste
to bring Governor Roosevelt forward
to second the nomination , but the
governor had not yet consented to
make the seconding speech. He will
see President McKinley tomorrow , it
was said , and this part of the pro
gram will be then settled definitely.
FURNACES MUST BE REBUILT.c
Strikers Iienve Tons of Copper to Cool In
Them.
NEW YORK , May 5. The situation
at the Oxford Cooper works , at Con
stable Hook , is unchanged. The strik
ers gathered at the works at an early
hour today and seemed to be in an
ugly mood , but the presence of the
police and the deputy sheriffs pre
vented any outbreak. There are fif
teen policemen and about sixty depu
ties on duty at the works. The strik
ers number about 500. The men were
all discharged yesterday when they
were paid off , but it is stated that they
will make another effort to induce the
company to make concessions to
them.
The copper works will probably not
start up again for several weeks.
When the men suddenly quit work
there were 350 tons of copper in the
furnaces. This was not run off and is
cold in the furnaces , which will have
to be taken apart and then rebuilt.
The loss caused by the stoppage of
work is placed at $35,000.
DEDICATES THE CHAPEL.
Edifice In Paris to Commemorate Bazaar

PARIS , March 5. Cardinal Richard ,
the archbishop of Paris , today per
formed ( the ceremony of the dedica
tion of the chapel in the Rue Jean
Goujon , ei ected to the memory of
the charity bazaar victims by Count
gj
and Countess Castellane. The monue
ment is architecturally a fine piece of E
work and its sculptural decorations
are singularly appropriate to the role w
of a commemorative chapel. A colos r
sal statue of the Mater Dolorosa , with it
face ; upturned and arms outstretching itn
toward < heaven , stands on a marble hi
and bronze altar. The edifice was it
hung with sable trappings for today's sihi
ceremony. ( Owing to the size of the he
chapel only two representatives of each tl
family which suffered by the disaster
were invited. The dedication cere
mony consisted of a low requiem mass.
There was no singing. The cardinal .
recited < the profundis and finally 10
blessed : the chapel.
