BLOEMFONTEIN OCCUPIED
President Steyn Evacuated Free

LONDON, March l5.--The first half of
the campaign is over. Lord Roberts
arrived at Modder River ON February
8. He entered BloomfonteIn on March
10. Thus in little over a month he
affected the relief of Kimberly and
Lady smith, the capture of General
Cronje and the hosting of the British
flag over the capital of the Free, State.
All this has been accomplished with
apparently trlfing losses.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Bloemfontein, dated Tuesday evening,
says:
I'VE surprised and outfanked the
enemy with irresistible force over
night. General French held the enc
my north and south of Bloemfontein,
while Lord Roberts dispatched pris-
oner ON parole, threatening to bonn
bard unless the city surrendered. The
townsmen became alarmed. President
Steyn and the chief members of the
executive council fled and proclaimed
Kroonstadt to be the capital.
"Steyn fed to Winburg. At last
only 1900 fighting men remained and
in the morning many finding them
selves so weakened broke their guns.
Others fed. The remnant still shelled
General French at dawn, but the oppo-
sition soon collapsed.
Eight locomotives and much rolling
stock were captured. The Boer organ
ization is collapsing and the breach
between the Free Staters and Trans
walters is widening.
Major General Prettyman has been
appointed military governor of Bloom
fontein"

To Secure Control of Trusts.

WASHINGTON, March 17.--Represen-
tative Ray, of New York, chairman of
the house committee on judiciary, and
at the head of the special sub-commit-
tee on trusts, has introduced the fol-
lowing joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitutions:
Resolved, that the following arti-
Gle be proposed to the legislatures OF
the several states as an amendment to
the constitution of the United States:
ARTICLE XVI. Congress shall have
power to regulate and repress monop-
olies and combinations, to create and
dissolve corporations and dispose of
their property and to make all the
laws necessary and proper for the ex-
ecution of the foregoing powers. Such
powers may be exercised by the sew
eral states in any manner not in con-
fiict with the laws of the United

LONDON, March 17.-Wlth the rail-
way communication to the Cape intact,
Lord Roberts will in very few days
be in a position to begin the advance
on Pretoria. His deep political intui-
ton, combined with his bold strategy,
is having the result desired in the
southern sections of the Orange Free
State, which are rapidly calming
down. Mafeking is now the only
point for anxiety, and as it is known
that force has left Kimberley it's re-
lief may be announced before many
days pass. The efficiency of the re-
lieving force is heightened by the fact
that it is partly composed of regulars.
1t is understood that all the continent.
al powers, with one exception. uncom'
promisingly refused to intervene. The
exception was Russia, whose reply
was couched in less firm language, al
though, like the others, she refused tc
interfere. 1t is said that the pope wa
also applied to, but that he declined
to do anything beyond writing letter

the further effusion of blood. DR.

A WAR CLOUD.
German and United States Officials
Consult as to Situation In China.


WASHINGTON, March 15.-The Ger
man ambassador, DR.. Won Holleben,
had long conference with Acting Sec
rotary of State Hill, in which the lat
ter was presumably informed that a
demonstration in China might be ex-
pected from Russia shortly. The
chief Of the navigation bureau, Rear
Admiral Crowninshield, sought Secre-
tary of State Hay and found him at
the Hay residence, after which the
navy department announced that a
Chinese squadron will be established
and that Rear Admiral Kempff, now
commandant at Mare Island navy
yard, will be sent TO Manila to take
this squadron for cruising the Chinese
and Japanese coasts Also that Rear Ad-
miral Raomey, in charge of the Asiatic
station, will maintain naval base at
Manila. 1t is understood that Kempff's
squadron will consist OF the Oregon
and Baltimore, now at Manila, the
Iowa, Philadelphia and Philadelphia,
now on the Pacific coast, and the
Montgomery, now attached to the
South Atlantic station. 1t is believed
here that the formation of the Chinese
squadron by the United States is to be
spectacular warning to Russia aud
France that American interests are in
volved in any change in the conditions
in China. Presumably Germany will
make a similar demonstration.

NEW YORK, March l6.-The journal

private cablegram from an unimpeach-
able source in Paris says that the min
lister for the colonies sent cipher ca bles
to the governor of every French col
ony. asking almost in the words of Mr..
Chamberlain to the British colonial
governors how many soldiers were
available for immediate service. De-
erals asked for a detailed statement
from each governor of the number of
reservists and colonial forces, lists of
men. The minister's cables were long
and in cipher and sent to every French
colony on earth. 1t is also said that
cables of similar tenor were sent to
French consuls, asking for lists of
French soldiers in foreign countries
who could return to France in the
event of their services being needed.
This highly important news is not
known to any of the London papers
cad probably not to any of those in
France. 1t will cause a sensation here

Beers Arc Determined to Fight to the
LONDON, March 19.--Intensc excite
ment rules at Pretoria, say dispatches
from there. The Beers and their lead
ers are wild with resentment at Lord
Salisbury's plainly expressed intention
to wipe out the two republics. All
classes say they are determined to
fight to the bitter end to preserve the
Transvaal's independence. Secretary
of State Reitz declares the war win
now be fought to the bitter end. The
Beers say that England's task is great
er than she dreams Of, and that tactics
not dreamed of will be resorted to.
President Kruger and his advisers are
preparing defiant reply to Lord Sal
isbury. 1t will deny that the Beers
have made any annexations. 1t will
declare that British territory was &C.
cupied for purely strategical purposes.
1t will practically defy England to do
her worst, and express a determine
ton to fight to the last ditch for indie
pendence. The Beers are tremendous
ly incensed at the Orange Free Staters
who gave up the keys of Bloemfontein' S
public offices to Lord Roberts. The
lives of Fraser and Kelner, who gave
up the town and welcomed the Eng
fish, would not be safe in the Trans
vaal capital. They are regarded as
traitors. Another thing that excites
the ire of the burghers is the shipment
Of Cronje and his army to st. Helena
and the refusal of Great Britain to ex-
change prisoners. The Beers claim
the reason the British would not ex-
change prisoners is because one Boer
is worth fifteen Britishers.

About 100 delegates were present and
they claim that the proposed bill will
prevent them from forming outside
connections and competing with the
Bell Company, because it will subject
the outside companies to taxation in
Iowa, property that is taxed outside
the state. They favor the Blanchard
bill, which proposes to apply the pres
ent railway taxation law to telephone
