TO SUCCEED GEN. GATACRE.


London, April 12.-The Bloemfontein
correspondent of the Times, telegraph
ing Wednesday, says: 1t is announced
in general orders that General Sir Her
bert Schermer has been appointed 10
the command of the third command,
vice General Sir William Gatacre, order
ed home to England
Sir William Gatacre's sudden removal
is the theme Of much speculation II
London. The curt manner in which it
is announced caused much comment.
The general impression is that it is
connected with the Reddersburg affair,
although there are many who consider
that there must be something much
more serious, as General Gatacre is not
the only general in South Africa who
has been retained in command after
formidable blunders.

TEXAS FLOOD SITUATION.
The Waters Recetling Mt Austin-Littfe
Danger Elsewhere.

Austin, Texas, April 1.-THE waters
are receding rapidly and no further
damages are expected from the flood.
There is hot political wrangle on in
this city because Of the loss of dam and
water supply. The idea is to have the
city buy the property and control it's
water supply. 1t is believed that the
majority of the taxpayers are against
it. 1t is not believed that the PROPOSE
tion of the Boston concern to advance
money for the purchase will be adopted.
Advices from Leander say that the
floods have subsidized and the aftermath
presents an appalling loss to the farm
ers and stock men. Fields are washed
almost beyond recognition and fencing
has been washed off from places here
tofore considered beyond the reach of
any flood. Stock of all kinds was drown
ed and in many places corn will have to
be replanted.

\ Washington, April 1.-THE recovery
of the stolen stamps is the result of
clever work by the officials of the in
terna1 revenue department. Two weeks
ago last Saturday Blaney who is recog-
nized as a sort of a middle man in the
transaction, called on a well known
brewing firm In Brooklyn and presented
them sheet of stamps which he de-
clared were counterfeit, and offered to
sell them more. The brewing firm,
whose name is withheld notified the
revenue officials. Examination showed
that the stamps were genuine and
meeting was arranged with those who
had them for sale for the purpose of
arresting them. Blaney is liable to Sc
we're punishment for having the stolen
stamps in his possession.

$4,000 IN STAMPS STOLEN.
New York Bartender Arrested With
$4,000 Worth of Them.

New York. April 11.--Within the past
few months two mysterious robberies
of beer stamps by which the govern
ment lost $4,000 have occurred One
of these thefts occurred while the
stamps were in transit between the
treasury department and the general
postoffice in Washington, and the other
between the postoffice and the inter-
nal revenue office in Chicago. The
stamps stolen in Washington were
worth $4,000 and those in Chicago
$6,000
Information concerning these thefts
was kept from the public, but the in
ternal revenue agents and collectors
throughout the country were secretly
warned to be on the lookout. Internal
Revenue Agent Thompson of the New
York district recently suspected that
the stolen beer stamps were hidden in
Brooklyn. He learned that the thieves
had arranged for the sale of large
quantity of the stamps to brewers
agent at the Astoria house. Late to-
day Thomas Blaney, a bar tender en-
ployed in P. 'McCauley's saloon in
Brooklyn, was seen to enter the hotel
with a paper bundle. He seemingly
failed to meet the prospective purchas-
er and afterwards was arrested by Mr..
Thompson.
The bundle was found to contain
about $4,000 worth Of beer stamps.
Blaney was taken before United States
Commissioner Shields, who held him in
ST, 900 for examination on Friday. The
charge is having stolen government
stamps in his possession. Thompson
says that further arrests of Importance
may be expected.

London, April 12-The correspondent
of the Daily Mail at Lourenzo Marquee,
telegraphing Wednesday, says:
1.-THE departure of the Chicago Ambu-
lance corps for Pretoria was delayed on
suspicion of filibustering. The members
left by special train this afternoon, ac-
companied by a molly following OF
French and Germans one hundred in
all. The departure only occurred after
many stormy interviews with the Por-
tuguese authorities
''The members have no passports and
no credentials beyond a letter from Miss
Clara Barton to the effect that she
knows some of them personally and be-
lieves them to be genuine, but many
have openly expressed their intention of
fighting. The Beers are paying from
930 to G40 per month for such recruits.
Thirty-five thousand Beers with ninety
guns are concentrated on the range of
hills between Kroonstadt and Winberg.
The whole is fortified and is almost i'm
pregnable."
