score of small parties of insurgents
united with Lacrete's column and others
from the east have gathered on the Havana
side of the line with the apparent inten-
ton of aiding Maceo to cross. The
Spaniards are satisfied that Maceo is
doomed. The Cubans say he can cross
when he pleases. The Spaniards have
5000 men along the line. Maceo has
10000 in his column; 5000 others are west
and about 5000 east of the line.
Aside from these operations 5000 insur-
gents have appeared fifteen miles east of
Havana. Their purpose is not clear.
Gomez is reported in the vicinity of the
Puerto Principe line. One object of his
march east is to receive arms and ammu-

state that General Melguizo, Colonels Mo-
tina and Tort and others continue killing

killed nine employees on estates in the

BUILDING FORTS IN THE HILLS

LONDON, ENG, April 11.-As far as it
has gone, the Soudan expedition is disap-
pointing to the War Office and the Gov.
ernment. Dispatches are sent daily from
Cairo praising the rapidity of the move
ments at the front and the com pleteness
of the preparations. The truth, as known
at the War Office, which is sustained by
private advices, is that the advance be-
yond Assouan Is excessively slow, being
hampered by deficient river service and
want of forage. The worst feature for the
Government is the enormous and unex-
pected expenditures that have been and
are yet to be made.
Lord Cromer, the British diplomatic
agent at Cairo, advises that it will be early
nece ssary to draw upon the Egyptian
treasury for 81. 100000 in addition to the
f500000 already drawn, and this fact rem
ders it probable that the entire reserve of
the Egyptian debt commission will be ul
timateIy absorbed in preparations before
there is an actual contract with the Der
wishes. No authority ventures to specu-
late as to what will happen when the re :
serve is exhausted.
Until September the only forward move
made will be to Firket ten miles up the
river. This will be merely due to the dis
covery that Akasheh is bad strategic
point. The place is surrounded by low
hills commanding the camp, and for this
reason it has already been found advisable
to form chain of forts in the hills. The
sanitation of the camp is bad. The mer.
curry reaches an average of 1O6 deg. in the
shade and this extreme heat mpedes the
work of even the Fellaheen laborers. At
Wady-Halfa large number of men be-
longing to the North Staffordshire Regi-
ment have been invaded by the heat.
That no operations of importance are in
tended during the summer is evident from
the fact that General Sir Redvers Butler is
reported to have been nominated for the
chief command of the expedition. He
will not leave England until July, when
the campaign will be fairly entered upon.
The Nile will be the sole line of advance.

tions he has not budged from his public
declarations to adhere to the Anglo Boer
convention of 1884, while respecting the
internal independence of the republic.
Whether the country will ultimately
confirm hamberlain's policy is doubtful,
but it is impossible that the Developments
will show him to have been duped by
President Kruger. The present clause en-
powers the Transvaal to conclude treaties
with foreign powers, subject to the veto of
Great Britain. This clause Chamberla
has sought to have altered by making
Great Britain party to the treaties on
lines similar to those existing in
the case of Great Britain and her
colonies. With regard to the protec-
Iion of foreign residents of the republic,
Chamberlain continues to recommend that
franchise be given to them after five years
and also recommends autonomy for the
