RANDeBURG, April 13-In recent let
ter mention was made of considerable
petty thieving going on in the district. For
several days 1t has been quietly whispered
about that some very rich ore had been
taken and pounded out and the hornihgs

wife and several others. The warrants
were served on Cailadine, LIE Fevre and

Adams and another party took French"
leave last night, and 1t Is supposed about
5000 of gold dust went with them. The
ore was taken by men employed by the
Yellow Aster company. and suspicion was
aroused by the parties or their wives sell
ing gold dust to the merchants here. Their
houses were searched, and In some of them
ore was found which is worth 81 per pound.
At one place the ore was In sack, with a
layer Of potatoes and onions on top. At
another place 1t was found just as 1t had
been brought down from the mine-a little
in a pocket handkerchief, some more tied
up in rag, etc. George Calladine was
night shift boss, and had been paid extra
wages for his honesty.

ly to Be Withheld from
Publication,

New York, Nov. S.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Major
General Nelson Miles has submitted to
the War department his report covering
the entire period of hostilities between
the United States and Spain. Certain
portions of the report may be withheld,
as the report deals squarely with mat
ters that certain officials prefer to keep
in the back ground. That the report is
exhaustive is shown by the fact that it
covers nearly 200 sheets of closely type
written paper. The report, in plain Eng
lish, criticises Skaters conduct of the
campaign at Santiago, and states that
the muddled condition of matters relat-
ing to the army status is due to the fact
that much information is given, but was
contradicted by the secretary of war.
The report makes no reference to the
so-called Alger- Miles controversy, but
soma statemerts. credited to General
Miles are reiterated.

failure to hold meeting of the COM

garding the Philippine islands, which
