World today IN response to an inquiry
candidate than Bryan, as follows:

ton These are known to be his views on
the subject and he will consider 1t Ell
tirely proper to remain in the navy even
though he engaged in the activities OF a
heated political campaign.
What will your platform be?" next to
which party he expected to be identified
with, probably, was the most frequent
question put to the admiral today. TIC
this, however, he was non-comnittal and
in a good natured way declined to make
known his views at this time.
Tomorrow Admiral and Mrs. Dewey GO
to Philadelphia to attend a concert given
under the auspices of Mrs Cassatt, wife
of the president of the Pennsylvania road
The concert is for the benefit of widows
and orphans of sailors who lost their
lives during the war with Spain. They
will return to the city on Friday.

British Are Becoming Less Certain.-South
African War Liable to Be Interest
ing Even Yet.

On the 18th instant came about
the first important news from South
Africa reaching the United States
for some time, to the effect that the
Beers captured Nitrals's Mex, which
was garrisoned by squadron of the
Scots Guards, with two guns of a
battery Of the Royal artillery and
five companies of the Lincolnshire
regiment Nitral's Mex was most
important point having been held by
the British for the purpose especially
of maintaining road and telegraph
communication with Rustenberg.
The fight lasted all day, and General
Roberts with his customary vague
ness, says "a list of casualties has
not been received but l fear they
are heavy" In an attack on Durde-
poort Lord Roberts reports, "We
would have suffered slight loss had
not our troops mistaken some Beers
in the bushes for our own men,"
This news comes in the way Of a
surprise to the anti Boer, as it mas
repeatedly been asserted that ''war
in Africa is over. " The scene of the
British disaster is but eighteen miles
from Pretoria, which is, as the
British have been saying, within the
pacified district. Instead of the sur
render of all of the remaining Beers
being imminent, as recent kilograms
have stated, it seems they have been
making a concerted attempt to sur
round or recapture Pretoria with so
much success that they succeeded in
inficting serious defeat and cap
turing two guns and over 200 men
1t is evident that General Botha has
considerable force, seeing that he is
able to press Lord Roberts lines at a
half dozen points around Pretoria
from the springs to the southeast of
the city, northward to Middleburg
and Durdpoort, and thence southwark
to Nitraps Mex and Krugersdorp.
Evidently, the South African war is
not ended.
