London, April 17.-On April Mafek-
ing was safe, but was suffering from
hunger, and the besiegers had renewed

leaguered town was in dire straits for
food and that relief seemed no nearer

lonials. Commandant Fronemann re-
ports that he chased 400 troops across
the river in the direction of Aliwal

ton shows that dispatches declaring

Of the schools and the churches and all
meetings should be prohibited on the
same lines as carried out in 1895. The
people should be prevented, as Ear as
possible, from moving around and mix
ing up. "I would suggest" said he,
that the people be asked to stay at
home IA much az possible without in
terfering with their necessary bust
ness"
President Wood: "I think that such
q suggestion Is a wise one, and would
DO a long step in preventing the infec-
tion Of new localities. There is anoth
e. danger that threatens us, and which
all Of us run, in allowing servants to
sleep of the premises. They go down
town and We don't know where they
20, or sleep, and then they return 10
our houses. There is danger that they
may have been exposed in some place
and bring ne infection right into our
homes"
President Dole: 81 think. from our
experience IN cholera times. that the
present tendency Of this disease to IN
crease, makes. the proposition much
more difficult 10 meet. Mr.. Ra1lOu has

confidence all through he community.
especially IN the families Of the men

TO reduce these fears this citizens COM
