HE is ARREsTED-THE OTHER ESCAPES.
When Mrs. Marie Della returned to her fat
in the five story building at No. 131 West Twen-
ty-eighth-st. last night she was surprised to
find the outside door unlocked Her arrival was
unexpected that two burglars in a bed cham
her who had opened the door were taken by sur
prise. Mr.. Della was equally surprised but in
stead of running for 4 policeman she went
bravely at the nearest Of the two men. The man
had on a long overcoat the pockets OF which
were bullying out with several silver pieces
taken from a sidebOard.
The men tried to get out but Mrs. Delllia
seized the fellow with the overcoat and chung
to him desperately. The second burglar at
tackled her with short club that he carried.
and. raining blows on her head. tried to break
her hold. The first fellow had BY this time
dragged the woman into the hallway. She held
on and screamed at the top OF her voice.
Charles Meter. the janitor. heard Mrs. Della
calling and seizing small rattail file from his
table ran to her rescue. As he reached the first
floor one of the burglars dashed by him and
escaped. A moment later the second burglar,
who had managed to shake Mrs Dellia's grip
after fighting al 1.-THE way down one flight OF
stairs. attempted TO get by.
The janitor barred the door. and. drawing his
weapon, ne warned the burglar not 10 Try 10

but his silence cid not cause uneasiness. 1t was
understood in official circles that everything was
going well. and that General Roberts had not
considered II necessary to report additional de-
tails OF the Boer retreat and the relief of Kim
berley but would break silence as soon as Cen
sral French succeeded in overtaking the enemy
and there fighting.
General Roberts's army. having relieved Kim
berley without a battle and with trivial Skin
mishing. is now at liberty to follow Cronje
eastward and northward. While the Free State
has been generally described in the English
press as an open and level country there is
series OF rivers flowing westward, and the ridges
commanding their banks are in nearly every in
stance lined with kopjes. These conditions favor
the Dutch system of strategic defence along
warehouses;. Bloemfontein itself is not likely
TO be defended, since Pretoria has become for
al practical purposes the capital Of both Dutch
republics but these intervening river ridges Will
enable General Cronje to make long running
fight South Africans tell me that the strongest
defensive position in the Free State is high
ridge between Ventersburg and Senekal, north
Of Bloemfontein, and that General Robertss
main battle will be fought there. This position
IS connected with Ladysmith by the Harrismith
railway, aud there are three strategic railways
available for communication with the and
converging at Johannesburg for Pretoria.

CRONJE'S BIG GUNS ABANDONED.
HURRIED DEPARTURE OF THE BoER ARMY
FROM MAGERSFONTEIN.

FROM MAGERSFoNTEIN.
London Feb. 19.-'The Daily News" publishes
the following dispatch, dated Sunday morning,
February Is, from Modder River:
Our sudden appearance seems to have as
founded the enemy and thrown them into
panic. All their positions were hurriedly evacu-
ated, and the big guns at MagersfOntein and
Kimberley were left behind.
General Cronje moved his transport, consist
ing of many hundred wagons, along a bank OF
kopjes north of the Modder, toward Koffyfon-
TEN. 1t got past mounted infantry, but, ow
ing to WEAKNESS, had to stop. Thereupon our
artillery opened upon it. The main body of the
Boer force kept up a running fight the whole
day, vainly trying to escape.
Each time their advance guard sought to move
off mounted infantry galloped round and
checked them. We never attempted to stop
their main movement, contenting ourselves with
trying to check them.
Their position at Kofyfontein is said to be
very strong. They entertain a wholesome dread
of ten thousand cavalry moving more quickly
than they do themselves We hope TO be in
Bloemfontein shortly.
THE Daily News" has another dispatch from
the Modder River military camp, dated Sunday
morning, which says:
At dawn on Friday the Beers were observed
moving wagons along the kopjes toward Koffy
fontein. Our mounted infantry sent out
from Kip Drift, but driven back, and the
enemy's wagons passed.

And yet tariff was necessary; export as we'll
import duties collected. In 1897 the
duties exports amounted to 241, $40 pesos,
imports to 2,4S1.965 pesos. and tonnage and
storage dues and fines to 246,92 pesos, making
a total Of 297O201 pesos or, in gold, 81, 7S2. 100
The export duties abolished by President
McKinley's order more than a year ago. and
the duties imports were readjusted and modi-
fed. The stamp taxes were also abolished. and
many OF the other taxes were reduced or wiped
out altogether. And the free traders OF the
United States and Puerto Rico are striving to
wipe out the duties imports. Again, it may
be pertinentIy asked What means do they pro-
pose to substitute for the raising of public reve-
nues which must be somehow provided?
Do the free traders in Congress favor the plan
OF floating a few millions OF Puerto Rcan
per cent bonds? That scheme is advocated not
only to meet government expenditures but also
to extend relief to the planters. by Several or
