NEW YORK, April 16.-G. Branchi, the
Italian consul general. deplores the sending
of troops TO the scene of the strike. This
parade of soldiers" he said. will result in
some evil. 1t is not troops that are
needed. 1t is the clemency Of the con-
tractors I am now thoroughly convinced
that the wages which they have been pay
ing some of their men are based on
starvation schedule. Fifteen more dollars
a day paid out by the contractors in wages
would settle the affair. But these men re-
sist They refuse to make any concession.

as before, but they would not listen to this
proposition. The original demand OF the
strikers was for $50 a day, instead of
SIPS, but the strikers are willing to come
half way. Now, this 12lz cents extra day
would amount to only SIS. Is not that a
low price for strike incurring an ex-
pense of thousands of dollars and the hap
piness of seven hundred people? These
strikers are utterly helpless. They are
without money and some without food. 1

TWO REPORTS FROM NATAL
CONFLICTING STATEMENTS AS TO
WHEREABOUTS OF THE BOERs.
Message from Lady Sarah Wilson Say
Ing the Mafeking Garrison In
Observation-Disclosures Alive.

LONDON, April II, Ais a. m.-Lord Rob-
erts has spread his net far and wide to
catch the adventurous commanders that
have been making mischief in the south
eastern part of the State. The net has not
yet been drawn in: but, at the headquar-
ters of Lord Roberts, the impression ex-
lists that the power of the Beers Is de-
creasing. A Daily News correspondent has
them fleeing to the southeast: a Standard
correspondent has them fleeing northward;
q Daily Telegraph correspondent says that
some are going north and others south,
while Morning Post representative says
IL Is not known what the Beers are doing.
Evidently the feeling at Bloemfontein is
that the dispositions of Lord Roberts are
such as to enable him to concentrate a
large force rapidly at any point. The
Beers. being aware of this, are presumed
to be thinking now chiefly Of retreat.
The investment of wepener, according to
a special dispatch from Bloemfontein, has
absolutely been abandoned. According to a
Bethany dispatch the Beers are unable to
retreat northward, because the British
strongly hold all roads.
Diverse reports come from Natal, one as
serting that the Beers have retired beyond
Biggarsburg range and another saying that
some of them are close to Ladysmith. Lon
don waits confidently for almost immediate
announcement of news favorable to the
British. Distrust exists. however, as to any
rapid. continuous advance toward Pre-
toria, chiefly on account OF the lack of
horses. many Of which die in the case Of
the long voyages. Letters from the Cape
say that the three days journey by rail is
made in open trucks. that the arrange
ments for feeding and watering are made
quate and that the unfortunate animals
break down rapidly in consequence of these
hardships.
Despite the energy of it's buyers abroad.
the War Office foresees much difficulty in
supplying the enormous number of horses
required.
The chief Boer delegate. Fischer, accom-
panied by DR.. Leyds. visited the president
OF the Dutch Cabinet yesterday at The

ate little speculation in England.
Frederick Villiers, the veteran war COR
respondent, who arrived at Southampton
yesterday. from the front, said he believed
the worst Of the war was over, but that
guerrilla warfare would continue for some
time.
An official bulletin, issued at Pretoria,
April 13, reports that the burghers cap
tured five hundred slaughter oxen at wep-
ener and that General Froneman that day
defeated the British. causing them to fly in
the direction OF wolverport, apparently
over the Orange river.
The Irish-American ambulance arrived at
Pretoria April Is.
The Beers report no casualties during the
recent fighting at warrenton.

elevator to load for Beira. This is the

ish force is to be landed to attack the
Transvaal through Rhodesia. She is the
first ship to load here for that place.
There is drying plant at the elevator
where corn going to Africa is dried out in
steam pipes. A temperature Of over 200
degrees is applied. which expels the mois-
ture in the kernels. In the shipments made
from here at the time of the Jameson raid
an immense amount of corn was lost
through the heating of the grain on board
ship. Most of what escaped rotted on the
wharves afterward, as there were no ware
houses to store it in. The Sandsend will
probably also load lot of hay and oats.
