LONDON, June 11.-3:30 a. m. Tlio Doers
havo torn up twenty-one miles of Lord Rob
erts' vital lino of railway between America
Siding and Roodcvnl. It Is n lxilit raid anil
vexations, but It does not disquiet the mili
tary authorities an yet, for they expect Gcn-
eral Kelly-Kenny to drive off the marauders
and to icoiicn the line.
Tho rapidity of the advance of Lord Hob
ertB cntmot havo permitted him to accumu
late lntgo reserves of stores. Therefore an
Interruption of tho railway for a week
must embarrass tho army and may bring tho
forward operations to n standstill,
Nothing has been heard from Lord Rob
erts for tbreo days. This raid on tho rail
way, the strenuous opposition to General
Hundle and tho escape of General Hotha's
division have forced tho War office nuthorl
tlis to tho conclusion that tho war Is not
yet over, though even the occasional civilian
Doer sympathizer can not sco how the Iloers
will bo able to do anything to change the
rcault.
General Duller Is In Iloer territory. Tho
dispatches of correspondent with him at
Sunset, near Kooinatlport, dcscrlbo the
corps on tho frontier of tho Free State.
"Tho Ilrltlsh marched eight miles yester
day," says tho Router correspondent, "be
foro encountering nny opposition. Tho Doers,
who had one gun, withdrew under heavy
ordnance lire to a ridge Just ahead of tho
camp."
This long-rango running skirmish will
doubtless bo renewed this morning. Ocneral
Duller lfl expected to make rapid progress
now and to throw tno weight of 20,000 men
Into Lard Roberts' Transvaal combluatllon.
Tho fighting on Juno 0, In which Ihcro wero
fewer than twenty casualties, wan kept up
nil day long by musketry and artillery. Tho

How tho Doors received this news is not ro

NU NAVY FOR CUBA JUST YET
(ienernl AVoimI llcjrctn I'lnn for Iiulc
pendent Flee( o( Sixty
Vexsclx.
HAVANA, Juno 10. Ocneral Lacrct has
hrought before Oovernor General Wood the
plun which originated last year for forming
a Cuban navy, to be composed nt tho outset
of sixty vessels, having In view for the
present the protection of Cuban fisheries
and tho prevention of smuggling. Last
year tho entire plan was rejected ns un
necessary, It being felt that twelve small
revenue cutters would bo udequato nnd that
these could be maintained much cheaper
In connection with tho customs department.
General Wood takes tho same vlow and tho
Cuban navy will therefore probably remain
In abeyance until Cuba Is Independent,
Cuban "Justice" Is recognized as having
become merely n matter of dollais and cents
and tho Cuban lawyers seem to object to nil
reforms. For Instance, tho charge against
Se:retary Souza ot tho cathedral court, who
was arrested Friday night for bribery, has
not been referred to by any Havana paper
printed in Spanish. Ono editor, when the
case wns called to his attention, said he
could not afford to antagonize men holding
such positions. Even though marked money
was found on Souza's person nnd the conver
sation between him nnd Carlos Carlorlz was
overheard by a detective, It Is still felt that
tho olllclal will not bo punished. A simi
larly gloomy vlow Is taken with referenco
to the outcome of tho custom housa fraud
case. Tho Post said this morning:
"A brother of one of tho accused persons
Is a son-in-law of tho chief Justice. In
criminal matters about-thtjfuoly .njotectlaa
Americans" and others havo Is tho court of
Captain Pitcher, pollco maglstrato, but he
has very limited power, tho extent ot tho
penalties ho may enforco being ten days or
$10. Foreigners deslro to hnvo his court
abolished and tho consular courts restored."
Come. l'nnxlhly n Fn-diinlxt.
A lively controversy Is being carried on
by tho threo political parties In Havana
with reference to tho recent utterances of
General Maximo Gomez. Tho question as
to which party ho will associate himself
with Is also n question for debate. Tho re
publican party Bent to him to Inqutro nnd
ho replied ho had friends In both the na
tional and. republican parties. Tho nation
alists contend that Gomez should Identify
himself with them, as they represent tho
true revolutionary program. They assert
that they havo always been consistently
nnd openly with Gomez and that the re
publicans merely .want to uso him for po
litical purposes. Tho union nntlonal party
wants to know why, If Gomez sympathizes
with tho republican and national pirtles,
who favor Independence, ho Is not In sym
pathy with tho democratic party, whose
leaders aro also working for tho same ends,
Tho banquet given by tho executive com
mittee of the Spanish Casino to the captain
and olllccrs of tho Argentine training ship
Presldento Sarmlonto was a great success,
causing much enthusiasm nmong tho Span
iards. Senor Esplanoza, speaking In tho
namo of tho Cuban press nnd proposing tho
toast to tho Argcntlno republic, said:
"Tho Argentine sailors come to Cuba nt ft
nad although perhaps an opportuno hour,
for perhaps this visit will servo to bury
painful memories and to teach tho Inhab
itants of Cuba that thoy do not belong In
vain to tho great Spanish raco and that all
should work toward preserving tho Indi
viduality of Cuba."

MANILA, May 12. (Correspondence of tho
Associated Press.) The great storo of In
surgent documents discovered by General
Funaton, together with somo Interesting pa
pers which Captain Smith found In the pos
session of Ocneral Pnntaleon Garcia, throw
Interesting sldo lights upon tho Filipino
government. Most Important ot the lot Is
Agulnnldo's plan for the uprising In Manila,
which was drawn by him nt Malolos. It la
In his own handwriting In the Tagalog lan
guage nnd bears the date of January 9, 1699.
Pinned to the document wns a translation
Into Spanish dono by tho hand of Ducn
camlno. Agulnnldo's order was addressed to his
"valiant snndallhnns," or bolomcn. When
tho word of tho uprising was given they
wero to slay all American soldiers In Ma
nlla. The Insurgents wero to repair to
housetops, whence they were to hurl down
upon tho soldiers heavy furnlturo nnd nny
Iron Implements they might hnve heated red
hot. They were nlse to hnvo ready In their
houses hot water, which was to bo thrown
upon passing soldiers or squirted nt them
from bamboo syringes. Tho women nnd
children wero exhorteJ to help In preparing
tho water and boiling oil, which thoy wero
to pnBs out to tho men for use. Afterwards
tho bolomcn wero to run through tho streets
slashing Americans wherever they mot them.
They were Instructed not to stop to pick up
tho guns of soldiers they killed, as thoso
could bo collected afterwards, Tho bolo
mcn wero warned to restrain themselves
from the temptation of looting becnuso, ns
Agulnaldo explained,' ho wns particularly
desirous to mnko good to foreign nations his
assertions that tho Filipinos wero disciplined
and civilized people. .Particular Injunctions
wero given for protecting tho banks, oven
tho Spanish bank.

Ono letter concerning a consignment of
Mausers stated that 'tho Oerman govern
ment would not nllow them to bo shipped
from tho country without n payment of $10
on each gun. Filibustering nust havo been
a costly enterprise to the revolutionary
government It nppears that ono cargo,
consisting of COO rifles nnd COO.OOO rounds ot
ammunition, cost $18,000 Mexican money
before it reached the Insurgents. Among tho
Items included In the1 bill of tho men who
engineered tho deal wns ono ot $1,000 for

penditure of several thousand dollars ex
