MILE Laos INDIANS.
Want Improvements on Lands Appraised
Don't Feel Like Moving to
White Earth.

Washington Special, Feb. 10th, to
Pioneer Press.
Gus Beaulieu today accompanied
the delegation OF Mile Laos to the
Indian Office. A suggestion was
made that commission he appoint
ed to appraise the improvements on
the Mile Lacs reservation, to he
composed OF two officials OF the de-
partment and representative OF
the Indians. The commissioner took
the matter under advisement. The
Indians are asking a figure for the
improvements which is considered
rather high. andathey are opposed
to the suggestion OF Senator Nelson
that on the payment OF funds for
their improvements that they re!
move at once to White Earth.
They claim they should be given
their own time In which to remove
their families and goods, Beaulieu

from General Butler:

day took Hlangwana hill, the right Of
the enemy's position and commanding
Colenso, the rest Of the force advancing
towards the Tugela. This morning the
enemy had withdrawn all the troops
north Of the Tugela and had practically
evacuated Colenso. Today General
Hart occupied Colenso after very
slight resistance by weak rear guard,
and we hold the line Of the Tugela on
the south side, from Colenso to Eagle s
Nest. The enemy seem to be in full re-
treat and, arp: rently, are only holding
the position they occupy across the
Colenso- LadysmiCh railway, where it is
close to the angle OF the Tugela, with d
weak rear guard Harris advance guard

A Very Strange Stranger.

The police have had a somewhat
interesting time with q rather
strange character that struck town
Monday afternoon. The man is
either deaf and dumb or pretends to
be. The police believe that he is
either an imposter or is insane. One
reason Tor this belief is that he does
not employ the language OF the
hands that mutes usually do, but
tells his troubles on a tabletiu a very
strange way. He asks all manner
OF senseless questions and in reply
writes some irrelevant or meaning
less answer. The police put him on
an east bound train Tuesday, but
the train only went a few rods be-
fore it stopped and he was put off.
The conductors all seem to know
him. 1t IL impossible to ascertain
his name or his nationality as he
will not ans wer the questions, but
his use of words of the American
language in his writing indicates
that he is some kind of q 70 reigner
He is a large and powerfully built
man, and if not mentally wrong,
should be able to earn his livelihood
even though he is mute. Heis we'll
dressed and has been apparently
we'll cared for wherever he came
from.
The police will make anothereffo
today to jostle him out Of town and
give some other community the
privilege of guessing at the cause Of
his strange actions.

Butler Declares 1t His Belle,
They Will Raise the Siege !
of Ladysmith.
MOVING on BL0EMF0NTEIN
British Under Lord Roberts
at Paarberg, Some Sixty
Miles Distant.
Nothing Known Regarding the
Present Whereabouts of
Cronje's Force.

LONDON, Feb. 21.-The Beers are
leaving all the positions held by them
on British territory and are concentrat.
ing for the defense OF their own. Si1
Redvers Butler thinks they are about to
raise the siege Of Ladysmith and this is
the large news Of the day.
General Clements reports that the
force confronting him has been greatly
diminished. Ten thousand mel are re.
ported to have left the Colesberg dis.
trict alone. The Beers are also retrac.
ing their steps from Zululand. Thus
they are relaxing their hold on all sides
in order to assemble to oppose Lord
Roberts. He is keeping on steadily to.
wards Bloemfontcin. This is shown by
his inconsequential telegram from Paar.
berg, 30 or 60 miles away. Doubtless
he is miles behind the column that is
pursuing the Beers.
Nothing has been heard of the chase
of Cronje for two days. Although the
last bulletin Of the war Office was
that there was no news for publication
there is a strong disposition to believe
that favorable information has been re-
ceived but is being withheld
Until the Operations Culminate
in something more conclusive. There
is oil equally strong disposition to think
that General Cronje has got away.
Owing to the lack of transport the
British are not likely to invade Boer
territory except where Lord Roberts is
operating. General Butler will have to
stop at the Drakensburg mountains.
Probably part of his 10000 men will
ultimately join the legions Of Lord Rob-
erts.
If, as General Butler AYERS, tho Beers
are retreating from him, then the news
Oh every side il favorable to the Brit
ish. Nevertheless troops continue to
60 up.
Tho war Office thinks that the call to

with the bounty, viii bring 5000 men
to the home defense. The urgency
with which home defense IL pressed ex.
cites some wonder.

Changed Hands Again.

The Home bakery on Broadway
has been changing hands quite
rapidly OF late. A. B Lindbergh,
who had been conducting it about
a year past, sold out to George
Cornwell last Friday. Tuesday
Mr.. Cornwell sold the busi-
ness to A. G. Swanson, a baker who
hailed from Aberdeen, s. D., looking
for a location OF this kind. Mr..
Swanson says that before buying he
investigated thoroughly and sees no
reason why he should not do a sue
cessful business, and made the pre-
diction that it would be some time
before the business would change
hands again.
