The rebels surrendered their arms. The Transvaalers escaped across the river. Mr. Steyn is circulating a notice, by means of dispatch riders, in reply to my proclamation, to the effect that any burgaer who signs a declaration that he will not fight against us again will be treated as a traitor and shot. The Bioemfonte:n peopie are affording us | every assistance in the matter of hospital ac- commodations. We have consequently been able to arrange for 500 beds. Thirty-three prisoners were taken at Prieska, 206 stande of arms and some supplies and ex- plosives. The Boers have begun to surrender on the Basutoland frontier. i TO PROHIBIT THE DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY LONDON, March 20.—In the House of Commons to-day the Parliamentary Sec- | retary of the War Office, Sir George Wyndham, said the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, was about to issue a proclamation on the sub- ject of the alleged threats of the Boers to destroy Jobannesburg and as to what the Boers may expect in the event of wanton destruction of British property. It was asserted in the lobby this eventn that the proclamation would be a briel document of general application prohibit- ing the destruction of farms, houses and other property as well as gold mines. ettt LAURELS DUE E NATAL ARMY. LONDON, Mlfl:h 21.—Winston Churchill in a dispatch from Pietermaritzburg warmly resists the contention that the re- lief of Ladysmith rose out of Lord Rob- erts’ operations. “On the coptrary,” Roberts were assisted by the fact that General Buller kept 16,000 Boers urcu jed.

Whitney came here from Butte, vshere he had influential relatives. A re- ward of $1500 \l?s offered for the arrest and conviction of the &ullty men and Gov- ernor Steunenberg offered an additional reward of $£1000 for each guilty man con- victed, but the reward was never claimed. The general impression is that Bernier was not a member of the mob, but that he knows much more than he told on the witness stand at the inquest. BOSTON, March 20.—General Zealous B. Tower, U. 8. A. (retired), died at Co- ! hasset to-night, aged 81 years. He was \ I fraduated from the military academy in 847, and saw active service In the Mexi- | can and civil wars, serving with distinc- tion in both and being retired in 1883. He was superintendent of the military acad- emy from July, 1864, until the following September. AGREEMENT ON PORTO RICAN RELIEF BILL v Conferees of the Senate and the House Arrive at an Understanding. All Revenues Collected on Importa- tions From the Island Shall Inure to the Benefit of Its People. e WASHINGTON, March 20.—The con- ferees on the Porto Rican appropriation bill have agreed upon a compromise meas- ure. The Senate conferees receded from the Senate amendment limiting the ap- propriation to the revenues collected on Porto Rican importations until January 1 and restored the clause in the House bill to future revenues, reading as Together with any further customs revenues collected on importations from Porto Rico since January 1, 1900, or that shall hereafter be col- lected under existing law.

ISLANDERS ENTITLFD TO FULL CITIZENSHIP Thus Declares Senator Morgan in Speaking of America’s New Possessions. WASHINGTON, March 20.—In the Sen- ate to-day when the measure providing a form of government and a tariff for Porto Rico was reached Morgan of Alabama an- nounced his desire to speak upon it. The special toplc of his discussion was the question of the extension of the consti- tution over the territory acquired by the United States. Comparing our authorit; in Cuba and Porto Rico, \[orKBn eclare. that resistance to American nut)‘mfl!r in Cuba would be as much rebellion as It { in the Philippines. The national pflwer must _continue to exist in all of the ac- quired islands until Congress shall leg- iglate in their regard. “The world,” he declared, “must be amused at our discussion of the questlon whether the Philippines are part of the United States while we are yoting armics, supplies and mone" to suppfess the insur- rection of one of the many tribes in thuse islands.” As to the islands acquired from Spain, Morgan malntained that the treaty of Paris was the supreme law of the land. Discussing the citizenship of the inhab- itants of Porto Rico, Morgan said: ““The inhabitants of Porto Rico ought 1o be given as fuil cifdzenship as any native inhabitant of a equntry annexed heretos fore. We have not debarred from citizen- ship any native inhabitant of any territory annexed. Those who have not chosen to retain their former allegiance have be- come citizens of the United States with- out regard to race or other conditions. I believe if Porto Rico is a forelgn wuntry we cannot pass laws to be enforced there. PORTO RICANS APPEAL FOR EARLY RELIEF General Davis Authorized to Give Them Employment Upon Pub- lic Works. SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO, March 20.—Governor General Davis {s in constant of receipt of tolegrams from the various towns of the island, begging him to use his Influence with the United States Con- gress for a speedy settfement of the ques- tions now in controversy. Demonstraticns occurred at many points yesterday simi- lar to the large gathering headed by the San Juan Chamber of Commerce, which resented the-petition to the Governor general for a redress of grievances. WASHINGTON, March 20.—Secretary Root_has authorized General Davis at Ban Juan to give employment upon public works to surplus labor in Porto Rico. The vVar Department has grepued an order 0 carry out this plan, but it was learned thnt Sceretary Root had telegraphed the instructions to General Dayis from Hav- ana.

Spring Humors It doesn’t make any difference whether you believe in the modern theory and speak of the causes of diseases as ref- erable to germs, microbes or bacilli, or whether you. use the older and:better understood terms of «“ humors” and “blood diseaSes " — Hood's Sarsaparilla cures them all JUST THE SAME. It cures those eruptions, boils and pimples which appear in the Spring; cures salt rheum or eczema and re- lieves the itching and burning; adapts itself equally well to, and also cures, dyspepsia and all stomach troubles due to generally weak condition and thin, an@mic blood ; cures mer- vous troubles, debility and that tired feeling, which just as surely indicate that the blood is not merely modern theory HOOD g S S‘arsaparllla Is the best Spring-Medicine, blood purifier, stomach, brain and nerve tonic that money can buy.

Sl FORMER CALIFORNIAN IS KILLED IN MEXICO News Received of the Murder of ‘WASHINGTON, March 20.—The Secre- tary of the Navy has recelved a cable- gram from Admiral Watson stating that the gunboat Wheeling had proceeded to Taku. cord about May 10, and will go as usual in the summer to Unalaska, on the Alas- ka coast. The State Department is in a quandary to devise means to render effective pro- tection to the American missionaries at Shantung. The difficulty lies in the fact that the missionaries -have in most cases gone as far as 200 miles inland, and are | thus beyond reach of any aid that could be extended from a warship. Mr. Conger’'s advices show that the situation is fur- ther complicated by the fact that the lo- cation of the present troubles is so far injand as to make it difficuit to determine whether or not the ‘‘boxers’’ are operat- ing in Shantung or across the border in| She will be relieved by the Con- | BSome persons here profess to have seen two boats pass Montara Point, a few miles above here, last night, seemingly bound for San Francisco.

Malosfilno was pardoned by Governor Budd three years ago, while serving a term of life imprisonment rnr murder commmed in this State. Caw naro helped the prisoner out of his dii culty and when Malosfino was killed one of Cavagnaro’'s cards was found In his pocket and led to the nonflca!lon here. - Diphtheria lt Covelo. COVELO, March 20.—News reached here this afternoon from Westport of a threat- ened epidemic of diphtheria. Four chil- dren have been.victims of the dread dis- ease during the past week. Thers are six cases now, all of which are conflned to the families of John Shultz and Peter Hansen. The ages o! {he dead children range from 2 to 13 Pechili province. If the threatened mis- sionaries are in Western Shantung then a further question arises as to who is chargeable with their protection, China or_Germany. The exact extent of the German sphere of influence is not definitely known here. It is 200 miles from Kiaochau, the German seaport, to the western border of Shan- tung, but, inasmuch as the Germans have claimed exclusive control of railroad fran- chises and like concessions throughout the whole province, it is presumed that they have assumed military responsibility as well. At any rate, the Chinese Govern- ment has been deterred from attempting to exercise military authority in that sec: tion by the attitude of the German au- thorities, and that is the reason for the inabili of the Peking Government to meet Conssrl demand for g.mlory mmures ainst the “boxers.” man Minister at Peking has informed Mr. Conger that his Government is wul—{ ing to extend to the American missionar- jes within the German sphere of influence the same measure of protection as Is ac- corded to German missionaries. This, however, 18 not very reassuring, in view of the fact that the German military forces in Shantung have not, so far as Is known, been augmented to a point where they are equal to policing the whole rovince. p'ghe State Department has not been ad- vised that these German forces have ex- tended their operations into Western Shantung, where the imperiled mission- aries are located, nor has there been any muram':; thsf any expedition is organ- in_that direction. lzed N"‘DON March 20.—The Shanghal cor- ondent of the Times says: ghe North China Daily News pub- lishes a dispatch from a correspondent in the province of Shantung who says that while the Chinese Government has not taken active measures to suppress the anti-forelgn movement, Governor has warned the misslonaries that the lo- cal authorities cannot be held responsi- ble for the safety of those traveling un- escorted into the interior. The position of the native Christians is deplorable and if the anti-foreign movement continues ig- nored and unchecked serious consequences are inevitable.” 'WILL INDICT WESTLAKE.
