LONDON. April 3, $50 a. m-The latest
news from the front adds little to the
public knowledge of the convoy disaster
No credence Is given to reports that the
Boers numbered between eight and ten
thousand men. The general belief is
that there could not have been more than
half that number, but the mere fact that
even so many as half could have been
collected so near headquarters without
the knowledge of the British commanders
provokes much uneasy criticism.
The disaster is regarded as a direct re-
suit of the inability of Gen. French to
cut OFF the commandcs of Gen. olivier
and the other commands when escap-
ing from the Orange river.
story of Recapture Doubted.
Lord Roberts own dispatch, dated two
hours later than the Daily Chronicles
says nothing about the guns being re-
captured The story therefore looks
doubtful.
Little news has arrived from other
points Kenhardt was formally reoccu-

Boers are massing In the vicinity of
Taunga and Klipdam is confirmed.

apostle of Aguinaldo and free sill

the Democratic forces in the ma
ton Nearly 12.o00 men. women and chill
dren assembled at Y. NJ. C. A. park yes
terday afternoon and listened to a speech
of two hours. delivered from platform cn
which sat the representatives of the Pop
ulists, Silver Republicans and Democrats
OF King county and the state. The Demo-
cratic orator was given respectful and
an orderly hearing by a gathering in which
a large proportion of voters belonged to a
faith different from that Of Col Bryan.
The evening meeting at the park did not
draw nearly so large crowd This was
expected. Mr.. Bryan spoke for a briefer
interval than at the afternoon gathering.
The banquet at the Armory found him
worn in voice and body, and while the
fusion leader claimed for the last affair
on the programme unqualified success
from the standpoint of party politics, Mr..
Bryan was doubtless not unwilling to
board steamer for Olympia and forget
the strain to which he had been put in
this section of the state.
Probably the most striking feature of
Mr. Bryan's speech yesterday afternoon,
which was designed to be the most tell
ing and effective made In the state. was
the absence of rancor and violent fnvec-
tive such as characterized his speeches in
Eastern Washington. Col Bryan dis
tinctly moderated his tone when address,

comparative moderation in which he cloth
ed his arguments against the establishment
of American sovereignty in the Philip
pine Islands. In Colfax. for example, Mr..
Bryan declared that the policy OF the Re-
publican administration would end in the
turning OF American bayonets towards
American breasts IN the furtherance OF
the establishment here OF military des-
potism. He did not talk much about des-
potism and impcrialistic tyranny under the
flag on this continent in his main speech
yesterday. The subject Of anti-expansion.
however, consumed fully half of his time.
which is greater portion than he has
givon 1t at any place in this state. Evil
IDENTIFY Mr.. Bryan had heard of the strong
public sentiment, not confined TO Republi-
cans, in this city and county In favor
of the course pursued by President Me-
Kinley in dealing with Aguinaldo. He had
plainly been told by his friends that Sc
attic expects to reap a wonderful heneht
In commerce and trade expansion from
the opening OF the densely populated ORR
ent through the permanent establishment
of American government and American
business interests in the Philippine arch
ipelago.
"You on the Coast. do you want to be
the gateway of a republic to the Orient.
or do you wish to be in the middle Of an
empire held together by the force of
bayonets?' he asked. He declared that
the republic could not exist half republic
and half empire: that the cost OF main
tanning peace and order and the sover-

benefits to be derived from IT. lie read
a letter written by benjamin Franklin
to Lord Howe. the British commander,
in June. l776 in which the American
statesman declared that trade could not
be procured by force OF arms
In Eastern Washington. Col. Bryan de-
clared that more Of the men who volun-
teered in defense Of the flag at the out
break Of the Spanish war were his sup
porters than were members Of the Re-
publican party. In Spokane he main
tanned that the continuation OF the war
in the Philippines and the establishment
there Of government by the United States
would launch the country at once on a
policy which would end in monarchy or
a military despotism, and that the troops
sent over across the Pacific would return
to shoot down their fellow citizens In the
United States at the bidding of a military
despot
Despite the fact that these utterances
did not hold the interest Of the crowd
or arouse the responsive demonstrations
that he expected. Mr.. Bryan continued
on this strain There was no enthusi-
asm when he declared that the country
was paying four times the amount for
its military establishment that Il did
two years ago. You're building an em-
pire on the ruins OF republic" said Col.
Bryan, with an earnest deelamatory ef-
fort. This did not elicit response
When he said that Secretary Gage had
