PLATT IN TALKATIvE MOOD.
The New York senator COnsidera
Vice Presidential Possibilities.

The New York senator COnsidera
Vice Presidential Possibilities.
NEW YORK, June l4.-Senator Platt
of the State Committee ed the nomi-
nation for the Vice Presidency he could
have the vote of the entire New York del
egation to Philadelphia, but that he had
understood that Mr. Odell did not want it.
The fact that Senator Platt had made this
statement Travelled around the Fifth Ave
nue. Hotel and pretty soon Mr.. Odell' S
friends began to pour in TO see him. When
questioned Mr. Odell merely laughed and
said nothing. Senator Platt was asked TO
go over the field of Vice Presidential pos
sibilities tonight by number OF reporters
who were anxious to find out what he
thought of the situation. Mr. Platt was
in a talkative humor.
"You know as much about the matter as
/ do" he said. Now, if Mr. odell wcuid
take the nomination / am convinced that
be would make an excellent man for the
place. He would make the same kind of a
Vice President that Garret a. Hobart was
i believe the nomination should go to this
State. but who is there TO put in the place?
i understand that Governor Roozeveit is as
firm as ever in his determination not TO be
q candidate.
How ABOUT MI Bliss was asked
Il saw a report that Senator Allison
had been here 10 see me about that"
said the Senator, and that l was in con.
ference with him last night. That is not
so. / have not seen Senator Allison al
all. ] think myself that there are othet
men In the State who would command
more votes in the delegation than Mr..
Bliss. think that Mr.. Woodruff would
command more delegates than Mr.. Bliss.
He is a much ADLER man than some people
think. have nothing more definite to
say about the nomination.
Il have letter from our national COM
mitteeman, Mr.. Gibbs, in which he tells
me that everything is in the air in Phla-
delphia. No one seems to have settled
on a candidate.

BoTHA FORCED BACK.
Roberts Drives the beers Out of Two
Strong Positions.

LONDON, June 1.-THE War Office re
ceived the following despatch from Gen
eral Roberts today:
Pretoria, June 13-t9:55 a. m )-Me-
thuen marched to Honing Spruit yes
terday. and he found all quiet. Kroon-
stad is strongly held. Methuen re-
turned today to the Rhenoster River,
where the railway is being prepared.
We were engaged all day yesterday
with Botha. The enemy fought with
considerable determination, and held
our cavalry and 10th nanks. But Ian
Hamilton, assisted by the Guards Bri
gade, and Pole Carew's division, push
ing forward, took hill in his front.
causing the enemy to fall back to a
second position to the eastward. This
they are still holding. 1t is slightly
higher than the one We have captured.
The great extent of country which
has to be covered and the modern con-
ditions of warfare render progress
very slow. Details of the casualties
have not reached me, but | understand
that they are moderate. Further
casualties reported are Lieutenant
o'Brien and Major Hathaway severely
wounded. ROBERTS
Pretoria. June l3-Gi a. m.).-The
enemy evacuated their strong position
during the night and retired to the
eastward Buffers forces and mine
afforded mutual assistance Our occu-
patton of Pretoria caused Beers to
withdraw from Laing's Mex and Bull
ler's advance TO -Voiksrust made them
feel that their rear would shortly be
threatened. ROBERTS"
The War Office has also received the
despatch from General Butler:
"Laing's Mex, June 14-t7:50 a. M.
-Lyttleton yesterday received the for
mai submission of the town and dis
trict of Wakkerstroom, which 1t is be-
lieved the enemy have completely evac-
uated. BULLER"
1t is expected here that Buffers divert
ng movement will do much to demoralize
he Beers who are believed to be retiring
in an orderly manner. If they
IAN be caught between the armies of Rob-
erts and Butler, the war may be brought
TO an end.

John Myers, about thirty-fve years of
age, a private in the ambulance corps,
United States Army. stationed at the
Arsenal. made his escape from the guard
yesterday morning under exciting circum-
stances. For some time past he has been
in the gu2rdhouse for alleged violation Of
rules, but after Drawing fire from rifles
and revolvers. he is now at liberty. y
search is being made for him, and the
police will today be asked to assist IN the
work.
Six months in the guardhouse was the
term Myers was serving when he escaped.
| Early in November last he appeared at
| the Arsenal. regularly enlisted. and VAS
attached to the ambulance corps. Stree
that time, his comrades say, Myers has
absented himself from duty without leave.
and other offences of serious nature are
charged to him. Not long ago Battery II,
seventh Light Artillery. was detached
from service temporarily at the Arsenal
and sent to Rochester, n. Y, there to at
tend the reception of General Otis and
for this chance, it would seem, Myers had
been waiting. Twenty men only were
| left to guard the military prisoners con-
fined at the Arsenal guardhouse These
were divided into two squads. one for
duty at night. the other for day duty.
Early yesterday morning Myers. with
TWO other prisoners. was placed under
charge OF Corporal Leipolz, and sent to
the residence Of Major Greenough, COM
mandant OF the post. They were there
put to work to clean out the cellar. Se,-
eral of the guards were assigned to watch
the prisoners. but Myers was prepared for
the emergency. He entered the cellar
and performed a little work Then his
absence was noted and a search instituted
for him.
When the soldiers entered the cellar
Myers slipped by them in some manner
and started on run toward the stone
wall at the east end Of the grounds
Major Greenough saw him fleeing across
the grounds from a window. rushed from
the house. and directed the guard to fire. !
Two shots were sent after the escaping !
man. and Major Greenough joined in with |
his revolver. but without effect. At this |
moment Sergeant of the Guard Callahan |
came along on horseback for a trip Up
town. Major GreenOugh ordered him to
bring Myers back. Myers, however. had
good start on his pursuers. and reached
the wall some distance ahead of Gala
han and the men. He vaulted over the
wall and started up Four and-a-half Street
on the run.
Callahan, with the troops, followed the
fugitive, and the chase covered several
squares Up Four-and-a a-half Street to K
east on X Street to Third, Myers ran, and
at Third Street he disappeared. In vain
Callahan and the guard searched for him,
and the police Joined without avail in the
search. The search was given up tenn
porarily and the guard returned to it's
quarters at the arsenal
Myers was about to be tried on charges
of desertion. it is said. AT the arsenal
last night ii was stated that Sergeant
Callahan could have captured the fugitive
had 1t not been for misinformation fur
nished him during the chase by friends
of Myers. description of the missing
soldier has been prepared for the police.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 14.-W. S. Taylor
received information today that applica-
tion would be made to Governor Nash of
Ohio to honor requisition from Governor
Beckham of Kentucky and that if the
same was honored, an attempt would be
made to serve the warrant at some point
in that State as hefpassed through to the
Philadelphia Convention T. C. Campbell
said to friend here yesterday that he was
satisfied that Governor Nash would honor
the requisition. but 1t is not known by
what authority he spoke.
Since the attempt TO extradite Taylor
yesterday a number of Republicans have
intimated to him that it might not be
safe for him to make, the journey TO
Philadelphia, for, howeYer willing his
Indiana friends might be to defend him.
it would be impossible to do so outside
the State. 1t had been arranged for
Taylor to accompany the Columbia Club
delegation, and to leave here Saturday
night, but 1t is possible he has changed
his plans and will not go at all. espe-
cially as his FRIENDS here have become
solicitous about his safety.
