Washington, June 2.--It Is likely that
three additional regiments of regular
cavalry will be sent to the Philippine
during the course of the summer. Gen.
Macarthur has been persistent in his
requests for soldiers belonging TO this
branch of the service. as he believes
they would be OF far more service in
the country, where most of the slsir-
mishes take place, than the Infantry
regiments.
The cavalry idea has been so popular
in the Philippines and has been SO sue
cessful that number of infantry
troops have been mounted. but this
cannot be done to any great extent be
cause OF the scarcity OF horses in the
archipelago. The addition of these
regiments, too. will enable the war de-
partment to bring home several of ths
volunteer regiments soon.

ANTITRUST BILL.
The House Takes the Measure Up
for Final Considerations.

Washington, June Q Before proceed
ing to the consideration of the antitrust
bill on special order the house today
disposed of some routine business. Wat;
son, of Indiana, was appointed one of
the board OF visitors to the naval acad-
emy In place of Grout, resigned. The
senate amendments to the sundry civil
bill were disagreed to and tie bill sent
to conference. Ray, chairman Of the ju-
dietary committee. then demanded the
regular order, the anti-trust bill. Under
the order thirty minutes on a side We're
allowed for general debate. Overstreet,
of Indiana, who drew the report on the
bill. occupied the time for general de-
bate on his side, with an explanation of
the proposed amendments to the Sher-
man anti-trust law, which 1t contained.
Fitzgerald, democrat. of Massachusetts,
ridiculed the idea that the republicans
had done anything to curb trusts. He
referred to the speech Of Hanna yester-
day in the senate defending the armor
plate trust. The bill was then read un-
der the five-minute rule.

mentarily expected in London, since an
the ofiicial dispatches agree that the
city is prepared for the conqueror's en-
try and .will make no attempt to retard
the substitution of British rule TOR
Boer rule. In spite OF the optimistic
reports, however, 1t is realized by some
that President Kruger's commandos
may occupy positions between J0-
hannesburg and the capital and UNDER
take TO check Lord Roberts advance.
The British commanders proverbial
caution warrants the opinion that he is
taking into consideration all the possi-
bilities OF the situation and will not
permit his troops to march within
range OF any hidden Boer forces.

LORD ROBERTS AGAIN SILENT.
London Unable to secure Omciai
NCMs of Late Events.

London, June 2.--Lord Roberts con-
tinues silent regarding Pretoria, prob
ably because he cannot wire of events
from his own knowledge. Lourenzo
Marquee. where all the news from the
Boer side Is re-handled, cables thai
with Pretoria Is now
suspended.
Some messages by courier have
reached Lourenzo Marquee, but none
of later date than Wednesday. These
assert that the burghers are in state
of panic and that Pretoria is being con-
trolled by a vigilance committee. Lou
renzo Mgfquez again sends the report
that President Kruger has been cap
tured.
The news blank gives rise to a sus-
picion that the citizens committee at
Pretoria may not have been able to
carry out their plans for securing the
peaceful entry of Lord Roberts and
sparing the city the horrors of a siege.
| A peace party appeared to be in the
ascendant and as soon as President
Kruger and his cabinet left Pretoria
to organize new capital the citizens
committee persuaded the commandants
Of the forts to withdraw some OF the
TROOPS from the defenses, perhaps with
a view of keeping order in the town. If
| messengers were sent to the British, or
if the British, being two hours march
from Pretoria on Wednesday, entered
IBit then or at any time prior to Friday
noon, Lord Roberts would certainly
/ have telegraphed this fact. Hence II
looks as tho there was a Boer force be-
tween Pretoria and johannesburg.
