Admiral Says He Is Still in the Race for
the Nomination.
WASHINGTON, April H. - Admiral
Dewey says that the report published in
New York afternoon newspaper to
the effect that he intended to withdraw
his candidacy for the presidency was all
mistake, that he had never given to
anyone whatever such information.
The dispatch to a New York paper
which is referred to is as follows: ut
is asserted on what seems to be good
authority that Admiral Dewey has de-
cided to withdraw as candidate for
the presidency and that within Il few
days he will formally announce his de-
cision. His brother-in-law, John R.
Mclean, is alleged to be responsible for
this latest move.
"Within 4S hours Admiral Dewey has
been III consultation with Democratic
leaders and others antagonistic to Pres
ident Mckinley, and the opinions then
expressed, together with unfavorable or
non-comnlittal views voiced by the
newspapers, decided him, it is asserted,
to withdraw from the contest

AN ACT OF WAR
Beers Notify Portugal 1t So Con-
siders the Transport of Brit
ish Troops
Across Portuguese Territory in
Africa---Further Action
PrOblematic.
Great Britain Prepared to Fully
Protect Portugal, 1t Is
Stated.

LONDON, April l2.-It is learned
here that the Transvaal government
has formally notified Portugal that
they consider the shipping of Brit
ish troops and munitions of war to
Rhodesia, by way Of Beira, Portuguese
East Africa, to be tantamount to hostile
action. This, however, will not stop
General Sir Frederick Carrington's
force from entering Rhodesia. Whether
or not the Beers will make reprisals
upon Portugal remains to be seen,
though the best informed opinion here
inclines to the belief that the Beers are
not likely to back up their protest with
action that would bring them into hos
tilities with still another power.
The British government, the Associ-
ated Press is officially informed, stands
ready to take the part Of Portugal, i'll
case the Beers attempt reprisals, but so
far Portugal has not applied for British
aid, nor has she replied to the Boer no.
titication. With Great Britain at her
back, it is said, she will not give in, in
the slightest, in maintaining that the
transactions at Beira are fully justified
by the long standing treaties between
Great Britain and Portugal.
While the situation is admitted to be
grave, the foreign Office is not inclined
to believe the Beers will take aggressive
action. The concensus of opinion is
that should the Beers attempt reprisi,ls,
it would react to the advantage of Great
Britain, enabling her to use Delugoa

War News From Boer Sources
Not Fully Credited in
London.
Dispatches From Roberts Fail to
Mention Some Alleged
Reverses.
Lively Bombardment by the Beers
at Elandslaagte Being
Kept Up.

LADYsMTH, Tuesday, April 1o.-The
Beers opened fire this morning early,
sending shells into the British camp
at Elandslaagte from three positions,
widely separated. The shells did no
damage. The troops moved out to
reconnoitre and found the Beers in
strong force and well fortified. One
naval AZ inch gun replied to the Beers,
who have again placed a "Long Tom "
in position.
When the Beers commenced shelling
the British were drilling, and one pri-
vate was killed and another was wound
ed before the soldiers were withdrawn
from range. Then the naval brigade
opened fire and drew a heavy -Boer
fusillade, and two of the cruiser Philo-
mel's gunners were killed. The naval
men stuck te- their positions, however,
and the Beers unmasked six guns, in
Guiding 10O-pounder, and shells fell
in all the British camps.
After three hours bombardment, the
British fire slackened and the burghers
cleared from kopje on the right when
a British shell lit Oh the spot occupied
by their gun. Another command was
seen moving toward the British left,
apparently with the intention Of flank
ing them, but the British shells forced
them to retire.
The British advance pickets were
continually sniped but few casualties
have been reported.
In the afternoon the naval brigade
again fired few shells. It is rumored
that body of Beers has gathered south.
west of Elandslaagte, with the apparent
intention Of cutting British line of
communication.
General Clery directed today's opera
k9ns.
General Butler visited Elandslaagte
today.

Government Defrauded by Overweight
Tobacco Packages.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 12.-Five hun.
dred pounds of plug cut tobacco have
been seized in various local stores by
internal revenue agents, because the
packages were insufficiently stamped.
This tobacco, manufactured by St.

ages weighing from an ounce and three
quarters to two ounces, and the pack.
ages had been uniformly stamped as
weighing an ounce and two thirds.
Collector Thomas, who made the dis.
covery of this revenue law violation,
says that the fraud has evidently been
carried on very extensively, and he es.
timated that the cost to the government
has been fully $4,000 year. A gen.
eral search for under stamped packages
has been begun, and all tobacco found
to exceed the weight indicated by the

THIS FROM ROBERTS.

The British Commander Fails to Mention
Losses Alleged In 1soer Dispatches.
LONDON, April 12.-Lord Roberts
wires to the war Office from Bloemfon.
tein, under date Of Tuesday, April 10,
as follows:
"The enemy have been very active
during the past few days. One COM
mando is now on the north bank of the
Orange river, not far from Aliwal
North, while another is attacking
Wepener. The garrison there is hold
ing out bravely, and inflicted serious
loss OH the Beers. Major Syringe of the
Cape Mounted Rifles was killed. No
other casualties have been reported as
yet.
''The troops are being moved up rap
idly. A patrol of six men of the Seventh
Dragon Guards, under Lieutenant
Wetherly, which had been reported
missing since April 7, has returned
safely"
AS the foregoing dispatch does not
mention the alleged British reverse on
Saturday at Merkatsfontein the Boer
kilograms are not credited at the war
Office, and they are further discredited
on account Of the discrepancies in the
dispatches, as Mcrlzatsfontein, in ono
message is located near Brandfort, and
in another it is located southeast of
Bloenlfontein, the places being 100
miles apart.
General Gatacre's return to England
is in the nature Of recall, though no
reason is given for it, and it will be
associated in the public mind with his
lack of success.
Lord Roberts criticized his manage
ment of the Stormberg attack, and pos.
sibly Gatacre's having arrived an hour
and half too late to rescue the Red
dersburg force may have decided his re-
turn.
The Reuter- Telegram company's cor
respondent at Aliwal North, wiring at
$3.50 a. M, says: '"There is no further
news from Wepener. Too cloudy to
heliograph. More British troops are
arriving.

WASHINGTON. April 12.-The naval

in renewing negotiations with the view
of securing possession of the big float
ing steel dock in Havana harbor, but
these negotiations, like those which
preceded them, have failed owing to
the insistence of the Spanish govern

BRITISH PUBLIC NERVOUS.

Unexpected Rallying of the Free State
Has Very Depressing Effect.
LONDON, April 12.-But that the war
Office has issued no news from Lord
Roberts during the last three days
there would be little disposition to place
any credence in the Boer reports of an
other British disaster. The unexpected
rallying of the Free State commanders,
however, leaves the public in nervous
condition, fearing everything. Dis
patches from Pretoria as late as Mon
day did not mention any further Boer
victory. On the contrary they said all
the commanders were quiet, and, as
Lord Roberts has hitherto not failed
promptly to report any 1nischances as
well as successes before waiting for the
newspaper correspondents to report
them, until there is some confirmation
there is justification in regarding the
Meekertsfontein rumor as only an ex-
aggerated account of the Reddersburg
affair. At the same time Boer reports
have SO often proved correct that the
greatest anxiety will be felt.
No further news has been received of
fighting either at Wepener or in Natal.
Boer reports seem to indicate that Lord
Methuen is advancing from Boshof to-
wards Hoopstadt. It is bold aud ap-
parently dangerous move, since, al
though it turns the right flank Of the
Boer position at Brandfort, it puts Lord
Methuen's forces between whatever
garrison there may be at Bloemhof, in
the TrauSYaal and the Rraudfort force
