London, March S.-Lord Roberts tele-

ons, the general also announcing that
General Clements has occupied Nor

of Lord Roberts dispatch:
Poplar Grove, March S.-Two bri-
gades of cavalry, with horse artillery
and Kelly Kenny's division, marched
today ten miles eastward.
THE Beers were quite taken by sur
prise yesterday. They moved off so
hurriedly that they left cooked dinners
behind. We captured a Krupp gun
and several tents and wagons. The to-
tai casualties were:

man and az an official to change his
recommendation"
Mr.. Hoar said the thing to do now
was to make an appropriation of a sum
OF money sufficient to relieve the dis
tress of the Porto Ricans. That course
would be definite, and there would be
no delay nor inhumanity in it.
Replylng to a question from Mr.
Teller, Mr.. Foraker said he regarded
Porto Rico as dependency of the
United States. and not as an integral
part of the United States.
Mr.. Bacon pointed out what he be-
heNed to be the inconsistency Of pro-
Nldlng for a delegate in congress from
Porto Rico who is not citizen of the
United States, and who is to be elected
by persons who are not citizens Of the
United States. but who must take an
oath to obev the constitution of the
United States.
Mr.. Foraker contended that this was
what had been done in the cases Of
Louisiana, Florida and in many other
instances.
The discussion Of the questions of
constitutional law wac continued until
o'clock. Mr.. Hoar made the closing
observation in which he took sharp
issue with the principles enunciated by
Mr.. Foraker. He held that the doc
trine proposed to be applied to Porto
Rico and the Philippines would result
in despOtism, and it would be none
the less a despOtism because it was TO
be carried into effect by moral men of
high civilization.
The chair announced the appoint
ment Of Senators Hanna and Tillman
as members Of the committee to the
military academy.
At o'clock the senate took a recess
until o'clock, for the formal reading
of the Alaska code bill.

TO TELEGRAPH AT SEA.
Ocean Liners Will Adopt the Marconi
Wireless System.

New York. March S.-The North Ger
man Lloyd line will adopt the Marconi
system of biography on it's fast vessels
as a means of communicating with the
land on each side of the Atlantic
Gustav H. Schwab, general manag-
ing agent will urge the erection of a
lofty mast on the Nantucket south
shoal lightship, about go miles from
Fire island. This will enable steam
ships to communicate with New York
fifteen or sixteen hours before they
reach their pier.
A series of experiments conducted on
the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, which
has arrived here, wac successful in
every way. From a spirit which had
been run up from the main mast until
it's tip was 135 feet above the deck, one
of MarcOni's electrical engineers who
was on board communicated satisfac
torily with Borkum island, in the
mouth of the Ems
On the island of BOrkum had been
planted a mast 1S5 feet high. Owing to
the disparity in the height of the spars,
the Borkum station received messages
from the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
while the ship was fifty miles away,
whereas the ship received messages
from the island only at a distance of
thirty-fve miles. Greetings and bust
ness messages were exchanged by Cap
tain Bartelmann with the officials of
the line in Bremen.

TROOPS TO COME HOME.
Soldiers Who Have Been in the Phil
ippines Two Years.

New York, March S.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: By di-
rection of Acting Secretary of War
Meiklejohn instructions have been
sent to Major General Otis to return
to the United States sometime in May
one battalion each of the Fourteenth,
Eighteenth and Twenty third infantry.
The withdrawal of these troops was
recommended by Major General Miles
several months ago He pointed out to
the department that the three regi-
ments designated would have been two
years in the Philippines in June next.
There is no doubt that the decision
of the department to withdraw three
battalions which number more than
1.2OO men, is Influenced to some extent
by the Reorganization of the rebel
army and the prospect that the Amer
lean troops will no longer meet with
resistance from an organized force.
Notwithstanding the action of the
department in ordering home these
battalions, officers who have served in
the Philippines and who have just re-
turned. say that this must not be taken
to mean that the rebellion has been
suppressed. The insurgents are operat-
ing in small forces. which scatter upon
the approach of American troops, but
which reassemble and attack whenever
a good opportunity presents itself
A well known officer in Luzon, writ
ing to a friend in this city gives it as
his opinion that the rebellion will not
be entirely suppressed in less than
ten years.

Poplar Grove, Thursday, March s.
President Kruger, who at present is
far in the rear, yesterday tried to stop
the retreating Beers, who refused to
stay.
The Bloemfontein police tried to stop
the retreat of the Free Staters, but
they declared that they were not will
ing to fight any longer, and they
blamed President steyn.

movement today again thoroughly sur
prfsed. outwitted and outmaneuvered
the Beers, who fed almost without fir
ing a shot. The plan of battle was as
follows:
General Colvilles division extended
along the north bank; General Tucker
held the center reserve and the guards
brigade had the center advanced. Cen
eral Kelly Kenny's division was order
ed to make a huge thanking movement
on the Beers left, following General
French. who was instructed to move
southeast until opposite the Boer flank
and then to swing around the rear.
Every movement was admirably eX-
ecuted and entirely successful. The
Beers were surprised, as was evident
from the state of the deserted camps.
Twice the British cavalry was almost
in position to charge, but they admit
that they were foiled by the maneuver-
ing of the Beers.
When last seen General French was
pursuing the enemy vigorously. He
was between them and Bloemfontein,
about eleven miles from the right wing.
Beers Forced to Flee.
General ColvilIn merely demonstrated
against a high mountain occupied by
the Transvaal troops. who were now
fleeing, in consequence of the flight Of
the Free StateTs south of the river 1t
is impossible a present to give the Boer
but it is estimated that they
reach $4,000, all of whom are now in
flight.
In the course of the operations the
Ninth lancers attempted to get close to
the Beers right with the object of
charging, but the Beers came out in
great force and the lancers were COM
celled to retire. A battery was then
sent forward to hold the enemy in
check while the Grahamstown volun-
teers and a company of mounted in
fantry, supported by another battery,
engaged the Beers on their right flank.
The Beers fired shells, falling short,
however, and they made a stubborn
defense on the kopje on our right en-
flading the battery and killing eighteen
of the battery horses. The mounted in
fantry gradually repealed the Beers and
the battery then took a position and
expelled them from their laager in
confusion.
The Beers held a strong position on
the north bank of the river, but the
flight from the southern bank compelled
them to retreat. They showed great
adroitness in getting away the wagons,
and displayed a bold front while the
rest of the force was busy in-spanning.
General French's division consisted Of
three brigades of cavalry, two of
infantry and seven horse
batteries.
