BRITISH TROOPS MOVE
Ten Thousand Men Gone North
of Bloemfontein.
GENERALADvANcE LIKELY MONDAY
Expected 1t WIN Take Roberts Two
Weeks to Get Within striking Distance
of the Beers Main Position Joubert
Considered q Brilliant Leader.

LONDON, March 30. Lord Roberts
has sent 10000 troops to Glen, ten miles
north Of Bloemfontein, on the railway
This is preliminary to general adj
vance
General French, who has arrived at
Bloemfontein from Thaba Nehu, says
that Commandant Olivier has 5000 men
and is north of Ladybrand
Immense quantities of stores have
now been accumulated at Blomfontein,
and Lord Roberts infantry is seemingly
about to move. An impression. which
can be traced to the war office is abroad
that the advance win begin nexs Mon
day.
Boer observation parties are lowering
near Bloemfontein, but Lord Roberts
has 1876 miles to cover before reaching
the great position which the Beers are
preparing at Kroonstadt.
Moving ten miles day is probably
the best he can do with field transport.
Therefore, he can hardly engage the
Beers in force for about two weeks.
the reconstruction Of the railway be-
hind him may even delay an invasion
of the Transyaal until May.
Meanwhile all the important towns
in the Free State, within Lord Roberts
reach, are being garrisoned. Thaba
Nehu, Philippolis, Fauresmith and
Jagersfontein are thus held
All the morning papers print singu-
iarly kind editorials concerning General
Joubert. They praise his military skill,
uphold his chiyalrous conduct, and re-
greet that SO strong and modern mind
should be absent from the final settle
ment of the dispute.
Although some of the younger com
manders thought the old soldier want
ing i'll dash and enterprise, his raid into
the country south of the Tugela is con-
sidered the best piece of Boer leader
ship during the whole war.

DAY SET FOR A VOTE.
Porto Ricon Bill to BE Acted Upon in
the senate Next Tuesday
Afternoon.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The senate
agreed to vote ON the Porto Rico gov
eminent and tariff bill Tuesday after
noon at 4 O'Clock. An important utter
ance was made later in the day on the
bill by Mr.. Davis fMinn. |, who advocat-
ed free trade between the United States
and Porto Rico. His speech was COM
paratively brief, but his reasoning was
so close and cogent that he crowded
into small space an immense amount of
well digested information and careful
thought. His principal proposition was
that the necessary money to be raised by
taxation should not be raised by duty
levied upon Porto Rican products, but
by an internal revenue tax levied upon
rum and tobacco produced on the island.
This system, i'll his opinion, would bet
ter suit the people of the United States
and those of Porto Rico than the pro-
posed tariff would be.
The amendment offered by Mr. Carter
to the Alaskan civil code bill, relating to
the mining for gold under the waters of
Cape Nome, was agreed to, but no fur
ther progress was made with the meas
ure.
Mr.. Nelson Mimi resigned from the
committee on Indian affairs and was

was impossible to do this work without
additional help.
A successful effort was then made by
Foraker to fix time for a vote on the
