Der of acres have been secured on

1t seems to rs that the lands all

Action of Filibusters Liable to Involve
Three Central American Republics.
.44 WASHINGTON, April IL. Much atten-
tion has been atsraeted to the landing
of Nicaraguan flibnsters on the 18th
mus, which is liable to result in the
involving Of the three. Central Amefi-
can republics. Information received,
however, shows that trouble has been
brewing in Colombia for some time
past and there have been frequent ru-
mors Of the intention Of Nicaragua to
attack Costa Rica. It appears that Mic
araguans have now actually made a
landing, though it is not clear whether
their movement is directed against Co.
lombia or Costa Rica. The place where
the party landed is on the Pacific side
of the isthmus and the party made its
way to place named David, near the
boundary line between Costa Rica and
Colombia, but within the lines of the
tract of territory claimed by both ma
tions. The government of Colombia
has taken steps to send a force against
the flibusters, assuming that they are
on Colombian soil, and it is possible
that the government of Costa Rica will
do likewise. In that case there may be
complications. Meanwhile the cruiser
Detroit has gone into the Gulf Of CHR
qui, on the west side, to safeguard
American interests.

Admiral Says He Is Still in the Race for

WASHINGTON, April IL. - Admiral
Dewey says that the report published in
a New York afternoon newspaper to
the effect that he intended to Withdraw
his candidacy for the presidency was all
a mistake, that he had never given to
anyone whatever such information.
The dispatch to q New York paper
which is referred to is as follows: t'It
is asserted ON what seems to be good
authority that Admiral DeYey has de-
cided to withdraw as a candidate for
the presidency and that within few
days he will formally announce his de-
cision. His brother-in-law, John r.
Mclean, is alleged to be responsible for
this latest move. @G& %s
"Within As hours Admiral Dewey has
been in consultation with Democratic
leaders and others antagonistic to Pres
ident Mckinley, and the opinions then
expressed, together with unfavorable or
nom -committal views voiced by the
newspapers, decided him, it is asserted,
to withdraw from the contest.

LUvERNE, Mimi, April 12.-The Pal

in the Northwest, two stories high,
owned by Frank N. Laughran, was
burned to the ground here at 4 O'Clock.
Forty-two head of valuable horses per-

ment was new and practically nothing
was saved. Besides Laughran's S loss a
number of private fancy driving outfits
were, destroyed. A $1,000 hearse was
also destroyed. Laughran's loss will
exceed $4,000. Incendiarism is sup
posed to be the cause. The barn was
located in thickly settled section of

fremen saved the adjoining buildings.

Beers Notify Portugal Il So Con-
siders the Transport of Brit II
ish Troops
Across Portuguese Territory in
Africa Further Action
Problematic.
Great Britain Prepared to Fully
Protect Portugal, It Is
Stated.

B LONDON, April 12.-It is learned
here that the Transvaa1 government
has formally notified Portugal that
they consider the shipping Of Brit
ish troops and munitions of war to
Rhodesia, by way Of Beira, Portuguese
East Africa, to be tantamount to hostile
action. This, however, will not stop
General Sir Frederick Carrington's
force from entering Rhodesia. Whether
or not the Beers viii make reprisals
upon Portugal remains to be seen,
though the best informed opinion here
inclines to the belief that the Beers are
not likely to back up their protest with
action that would bring them into hos
tihties with still another power.
The British government, the Associ-
ated Press is officially informed, stands
ready to take the part Of Portugal, in
case the Beers attempt reprisals, but SO
far Portugal has not applied for British
aid, nor has she replied to the Boer mo-.
tifcation. With Great Britain at her
back, it is said, she will not give in, in
the slightest, in maintaining that the
transactions at Beira are fully justified
by the long standing treaties between
Great Britain and Portugal
While the situation is admitted to be
grave, the foreign Office is not inclined
to believe the Beers win take aggressive.
action. The concensus of opinion is.
that should the Beers attempt reprisals,.
it would react to the advantage of Great
Britain, enabling her to use Delagoa
f1ay freely ~ s&as=5.* "

Tobacco. Packages. n sS{
i. SAN FRANCISCO, April Il. Five hun
dred pounds Of plug cut tobacco have
been seized in various local stores by
internal revenue agents, because the
packages were insufdc dciently stamped.
This tobacco, manufactured by a St.

quarters to two ounces, and the pack
ages had been uniformly stamped as
weighing an ounce and two thirds
Collector Thomas, who made the dis

timated that the cost to the government
has been fully $5o, 900 year. "A gen-

has been begun, and all tobacco found
to exceed the weight indicated by the

BRITISH PUBLIC NERVOUS.

Unexpected Rallying of the Free State
Has q Very Depressing Effect.
h LONDON, April 12. But that the war
office has issued no news from Lord
Roberts during the last three days
there would be little disposition to place
any credence in the Boer reports Of an
other British disaster. The unexpected
rallying Of the Free State commando
however, leaves the public in a nervous
condition, fearing everything. Dis
patches from Pretoria as late as Mon
day did not mention any further Boer
victory. On the contrary they said all
the commanders were quiet, and, as
Lord Roberts has hitherto not failed
promptly to report any mischances as
well as successes before waiting for the
newspaper correspondents to report
them, until there is some confirmation
there is JUST tification in regarding the
Meekertsfontein rumor as only an ex-
aggerated account of the Reddersburg
affair. At the same time Boer reports
have SO often proved correct that the
greatest anxiety will be felt. sl .4s
"a No further news has been received Of
fighting either at Wepener or in Natal.
Boer reports seem to indicate that Lord
Methuen is advancing from Boshof to-
wards Hoopstadt. It is a bold aud ap-
parently a dangerous move, since, al
though it turns the right flank Of the
Boer position at Brand dfort, it puts Lord
Methuen's s forces between whatever
garrison there may be at Bloemhof, in
the Transyaal, and the Brandfort force.
