LONDON, March 380, 5 a.m.—A Bloemfon- tein dispatch, dated Wednesday, says: “President Kruger boasts his intention to retake Bloemfontein within a week, and it appears probable that the Boers are ad- vancing in force southward." : Other dispatches state that the Boers are concentrating in force about fifteen miles north of Bloemfontein, in the rear of Glen, and Lord Roberts is sending forward troops to engage them. The 7th Infantry Division and part of Gen. French's cavalry have been sent up to join the 14th Brigade and the two cavalry regiments that are holding Glen and its environs. It does not seem probable, however, that the Boers will give serious battle In the fairly open country north of Glen. Still, their evident strength indicates more than a corps of observation. In small affairs the Boers are daringly aggressive in all parts of the field of war. The Johannegpurg mounted police, teemed by t Boers to be their best mounted commando, are raiding the coun- try near Bloemfontein, harassing the farm- ers who have given up their arms to the British and carrying off cattle. There is a Boer report from Natal that a Russian sol- dier of fortune, Col. Ganotzki, with a hun- dred horsemen, is operating close to the British outposts on the western border. Boers Show Great Activity. ‘he Boers have reoccupied Campbell, and are in stréngth near Taungs and Barkly ‘West. They shelled the British camp at Warrenton Wednesday, but moved out of Tange that night. Yesterday (Thursday) two British guns enfiladed the Boer trenches, quieting their Mausers. Lord Methuen and the forces that had been operating in the Barkly district have been recalled to Kimberley by Lord Rob- erts. No explanation has been given for this, but the mounted troops are dissatis- fied at having been: ordered back. The Boers and disloyalists at Kenhardt have been dispersed and caused to retreat. Gen. Parsons is about to enter the town unopposed. . Lord Roberts is making extensive ar- rangements to police and safeguard all the Free State towns in the territory occupied. Dispatches from Maseru assert that the Boers who returned to Ladybrand from Clocolan have taken up strong positions and sent pickets far in every direction to watch Basutoland, in the expectation that part of Gen. Buller’s army will invade the Free State on that side. According. to Pretoria advices, Makfeking was bombarded for seven hours on Tues- ay. It 1s reported in London, in a well-in- formed quarter, that Lord Kitchener will be offered the post of commander-in-chief in India, succeeding the late Sir William Lockhart, so soon as decisive successes have been obtained in the Transvaal, and that Gen. Sir Archibald Hunter will suc- ceed him as Lord Roberts’ chief of staff. The Indian newspapers have been urging Kitchener's appointment. Queen’s Visit to Ireland. Arrangements for the queen’s visit to Dublin are rapidly nearing completion. Two detachments of Life Guards left London last evening to act as the royal escort, and the trials of the royal trains have been completed along the entire route. Gerald Balfour, chief secretary for Ire- land, who js just recovering from a serious illness, will leave today, in order to wel- come ieatueey ene will probably be ac- compani vy rd Landsowne, of state for war. eae Harrison's Boer Sympathies. A special from Washington to the Indian- apolis News today says that Gen. Harrison has expressed some pretty blunt views on the Boer question and has written a friend- ly personal letter to Secretary Hay on the subject. Either in this letter or in some communication he is credited with having said “he hoped the Boers would find some place on the green earth where they would have a right to live unmolested by the Brit- ish. They have more than once sacrificed their land and their homes, and moved on, to avoid the British aggression.” Gen. Harrison was asked about the mat- ter last night an dsaid: “I have nothing to Say upon the matter, nor do I want to be drawn into any newspaper controversy by confirming or denying the report.” Joubert’s Iiness Brief. A dispatch from Pretoria says: Gen. Jou- bert was taken ill Sunday morning. He was at his office the previous day. He suffered great pain, but became unconscious some time before his death. The complaint was acute inflammation of the bowels. The body will lie in state tomorrow and will then be taken by special train to the farm at Rustfontein, near Wakkerstroom, where it will be buried quietly, as Joubert often requested, and without military hon- ors. The German papers warmly eu!ogize the late Gen. Joubert, but the Kreuz Zeitung admits that he failed to develop great mill- tary qualities in the present war through his persistence in standing on the defensive. ee FINED FOR ASSAULT. Young Man Punished for Whipping a Teacher—Other News. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., March 29, 1900. Two cases engaged the attention of the cireult court here today. Carleton E. Baker, a young man from Washington city, was fined $100 and costs for assaulting Welling- ton M. Penn, principal of the public school at Etchison, this county, and Penn was acquitted of a charge of assaulting Baker's iittle brother. ‘The assault upon Penn occurred last No- vember in his school room at Etchison, and was the result of a whipping administered by Penn to Baker’s young brother, a pupil of the Etchison school. About a week after the chastisement of the Baker child the elder Baker traveled all the way from Washington to Etchison for the express Purpose of getting even with the teacher. le entered the school room while school Was in session and gave Penn a severe cow- hiding. He then left, but returned at the noon recess and again attacked the teach- er. As a result of the treatment he re- ceived at the hands of Baker Penn was unable to appear in his school room for several days. In passing sentence Judge Henderson characterized the assault as an outrage, and stated that if it were not for the fact that the defendant was the sole support of his mother and sister he would sentence him to a term in the house of correction. ‘The judge stated that there is no excuse for occurrences such as Baker was guilty of, because the ‘law will punish any teacher guilty of chastising a child in a manner that amounts to*assault. At Penn's trial the testimony showed that the Baker child had been whipped for dis- obeying the rules of the school by leaving before school was dismissed, because he did not wish to be included in a group plic- ture which was to be taken. The child re- ceived a severe chastising, but the court did not think it was of a character that constituted an assault, and Penn was dis- missed. — Other cases were disposed of today as fol- lows: State vs. James Martin, assault, fined $25 or thirty days in jail; state vs. Joseph Johnson, selling intoxicating Hquor, guilty. Mr. Wm. R. Russell of Kensington, this county, was yesterday afternoon awarded @ verdict for $500 by a jury in the circuit court at this place, in a sult against the Chevy Chase and Kensington Electric Rail- way Company for $10,000 damages. The testimony showed that the Ist day of Jast June Mr. Russell boarded one of the com- Pp&any’s cars and purchased from the con- ductor in charge six tickets for a quarter, one of which he tendered and was accepted as fare. On the following day Mr. Russell again boarded one of the cars and pre- sented as fare one of the tickets he had bought the day before. The conductor, how- ever, refused to accept the ticket and de- manded cash. Mr. Russell refused to pay cash and was ejected from the car. The conductor’s refusal to accept the ticket was owing to orders received from the company to accept nothing but cash after June 1. Messrs. Robert B. Peter and Edward C.

Incendiary Fire Destroys Two Barns— Opening of the Canal. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star, HAGERSTOWN, Md., March 28, 1900. An incendiary fire at Quincy destroyed the stable of Jacob C. Lowman, together with some livestock, grain, ete. Mr.Lowman’s house was also badly damaged. He was in Washington erecting some machinery when thefireoccurred. Crossing over the road the fire attacked the large barn of Mr. 8. Pentz, which was sixty feet long, and soon re- duced it to ashes, together with 100 bushels of wheat, two good cows, seven tons of hay, a stick wagon, fifty bushels of corn, harness, etc., entailing quite a heavy loss. The water will be let in and navigation resumed on the Chesapeake and Ohio canal on Monday, April 2. The work of repair- ing the aqueduct which collapsed at Lick- ing creck, a few miles east of" Hancock, is completed. ‘The damage was very seri- ous, a portion of the 100-foot arch, the largest on the waterway, having fallen in. The remains of Rev. Thomas Dobbin, pas- tor of the Presbyterian Church at Spring Run, who died on Monday, were taken to New York for interment. Ata fire recently which destroyed the parsonage Rev. Dobbin overtaxed his strength and immediately after took to his bed and never recovered from the effects. John W. Long. one of the oldest citizens of Williamsport, is dead. Mr. Long was en- gaged on the canal for many years and was one of the oldest canal men of that sec- tion. The one-story building near the Cumber- land Valley railroad station, Waynesboro’, occupied by John S. Little as a restaurant, caught fire from a defective flue and was entirely destroyed, together with {ts con- tents; loss, $00; no insurance. Mrs. Agnes Moody. says a Chicago paper, will have charge of the corn kitchen in the American building at the Paris exposition, Mrs. Moody js the personal appointee of Seretary Wilson and comes originally from Hagerstown.
