CAPE TOWN, May 24.—A great concert- | ed movement under General Bindon Blood against the Boers is proceeding in the tern Transvaal. Commandant Viljoen has been thying to escape to the north, but so far without success. The movements of the varlous columns under General Blood have been attended with the usual sniping by small parties of burghers. The only time the Boers made any attempt at a stand was at a point near Dalmanutha, wkere the Carolina commando attempted to hold offfthe British under Colonel Doug- las while their cattle and wagons were being driven off.

PRETORIA, May 24.—The troops of the cattle rangers’ corps which was organ- ized by Colonel Morgan have returned to Pretoria from Wolvenhoek. They had a number of exciting adventures and sev eral skirmishes with the Boers, but by excellent scouting they succeeded in get- | ting through the Boer lines with 40,000 | sheep and 4000 cattle.

The vital question before the vowers ut this time is that of indemnity. Consider- able discussion is in progress between the powers as to how the money shali be ralsed. Russla and France favor a loan, guaranteed, if not by all nations, at least by some: the United States and Great Britain prefer bonds, and Germany, Italy and Austria have the deciding votes. e 5P et WILL NOT WAIT FOR COURT.

Mission Olubs Want All the Unnecessary Salaries Abolished. e, The Hoard of Supervisors met last night to resume consideration of the next.tax budget as recommended by the Finance Committee, and to hear suggestions of citizéns and taxpayers thereon. The meet- ing was principally devoted to a discus- slon of what constitutes “urgent neces- sity” in the city’s expenditures, which has called forth criticism from an im- provement club. The Board of Publie Works came in for its usual share of crit- iclsm for spending much money with lit- tle results. Max Popper of the Mission Federated Clubs was called upon to express his views. He had not proceeded far when Supervisor Hotaling scored him for hav- ing signed the communication of the clubs criticizing the Mayor and Supervis- ors for alleged improper expenditures qut of the urgent necessity fund during the year 190-1%1. Popper had said that so many requests had been made for the needs of different districts that he had no desire to prolong the agony. “I would suggest,” sald Hotaling, “that it Mr. Popper’s criticism is gauged by his strictures oa this board in regard to the urgent necessity fund, that he do not pro- long the agony and sit down.” Popper contended that the board vas spending moneys for urgent necessities which were not so regarded by his im- provement club. He objected to spending §294 for the Supervisors’ hand books and $400 for buggles for the Assessor out of the urgent necessity fund. He suggested that a miscellaneous fund be created for minor expenditures, and Brandenstein eed with him. Braunhart disagreed with the latter and contended that the Supervisors were -competent to_judge of the necessity of expenditures. Braunhart waxed eloquent, which caused Popper to remark: ‘Did T come here to be lectured?” You are here as a long-suffering efti- zen,” facetiously replied the Mayor. Too Much Money for Sala:ies. ‘““We belleve there is too much money spent by the Board of Public Works for salarfes,” said Popper, “in comparison with the work done. We thi the funds of that body should be segregated so that it could be ascertained exactly for what purposes they were spent. Ifthis board does not see to it that the am@unt of sal- aries be limited and the funds segregated we will submit the proposition to a vote of the people for charter amendment. The Boards of Public Works and Health nditures as well as those of the County Clerk. The Health Board has now more employes on its roll than ever before. We object to doctors acting as sanitary Inspectors and keeping their private office hours.” Popper began to read a list of doctors in the employ of the Health Board who tend to private cases, when the Mayor In- terrupted by saying: I thought you sald attorneys?” “We have not got that far,” sald Pop- per, “but I've no doubt that we can flud some of them in the same category.” “We should not pay for the mainten- ance of feeble-minded children,” con- tinued Popper, “nor s! uld1 ‘]'e contribut, agdalen Asylum.” Brandenstein suggested that Popper he given an opportunily to familtarize him- self with the proposed budget and make suggestions at a later date. Curtls asked Popper to furnish a statement showing the cmployes In the various departments whom he deemed unnecessary. Secretary Emery of the Board of Health made a defense of his department. e declared that figures of expenditures in other cities used for comparison with this city were unreliable and did not state the conditions as they existed. George Center held that the budget was not before the board, as he had not seen it. ““This is a hearing of taxpayers” sald the Mayor, ‘“for the purpose of consider- ing the budget.” ‘I differ with you there,” sald Center. “T have not seen the budget except what was published of it in the newspapers. I would like to have a printed copy,” and it_was so ordered. . Allen wanted Valencla street and Market street west of Van Ness avenus repaired. J.
