work which has proved of the greatest
practical value to the agricultural in
terests OF the United States is likely to
be extended to the Philippines, Porto

FOREIGN INTELL.ICEyCE.

FotttsION
Dispatches received in London say
that a great battle has been raging
along the line of the Modder river
around Paardeberg and K~oodoosrand
for four days and Lord Roberts re-
ports 40 killed and wounded officers,
including two generals, and 500 men.
Rumors of the relief of Ladysmith
We're unconfirmed.
Dispatches from Manila say that
with the end of the present expedi-
ton of Gen. Bates in the two provinces
in southern Luzon military operations
in the Philippines will close. After
ward, it is said. there is nothing TO do
but to undertake to maintain order
through a police system.
London believes Cronje as good as
crushed and Ladysmith is practically
relieved. Cronje, with 5000 men, was
surrounded in Modder rivers bed by
Roberts with $4,000. He asked an
armistice to bury his dead, and when
refused. said he would fight to the

a dispatch from Consul Wildman
from Hong-Kong says that members
of the Filipino junta who left recent
ly for Japan expect to meet Agui-
naldo. THIS gives credence to the
story that Aguinaldo has escaped to
the Island of Formosa.
In London there were reports OF
Gen. Cronje's surrender and the relief
of Ladysmith, but these were uncon-
firmed by the war office. So good a
showing has Cronje made in the face
OF terrific odds that the London press
is forced to praise his bravery.
In Paris Marcel-Habert was found
gailty of melting the army to revolt
and sentenced to Punishment for five
years.
In Paris six large warehouses were
burned, the loss being 1000, coo francs,
and $50 persons were seriously hurt.
Advices received in London say that
British forces under Gatacre near Mol.
teno were routed with heavy loss, Capt.
Montmorency being among the killed.
Butler has advanced slightly nearer
I&dysmith, fighting his way. Beers
have a strong position at Globler's

fighting with Crouje's army.
In a fire in a factory at Komejimura,
