MORE MEN FOR ROBERTS.
Relief of Ladysmith Is Expected BE-
fore the End of the Week.


London, Feb. %. las p. m.-All the crit
les of the African newspapers urge rush.
ing reinforcements to Lord Roberts, so
that he may be able TO risk much in en-
deavoring to inflict a decisive defeat be-
fore the Boer forces, gathering from every
quarter Strengthening Gen. Cronje' $
force.
The relief of Ladysmith is now taken to
be matter of course and is likely to be
announced before the end of the week,
but it is quite within the probabilities that
severe fighting will occur previous to the
relief while the attachments to be sent
by Gen. Butler to reinforce Lord Roberts,
subsequent to the relief, are likely to meet
with strenuous resistance in the passes
of the Drakensberg, in which fairly power
full burgher forces remain.
Boer reports say Gen. Joubert's nerves
are unstrung and that he no longer exer-
cises the chief command.
A dispatch from Sterkspruit, dated Wed
nesday, Feb. 21. says:
'The prominent rebels in this district
intend to surrender and the Stormberg
rebels viii shortly lay down their arms"
There have been many eulogistic refer
ences to the speeches of Laurier and other
Canadians on the subject of the losses
of the Canadians in South Africa, con-
cerning which, curiously enough, there is
not single word, official or otherwise,
known or published here, except that two
officers were wounded.
Great relief has been caused here by the
receipt of the news from Paardeberg
showing that Lord Roberts is personally
experimenting the operations, and, though
il is difficult 10 grasp the real situation. il
ually tightening his grip on Gen. Cronje' 5
forces.
In spite of the apparent failure of Sun
days attempt 10 storm the Boer position,
It rs evident that Gen. Cronje is not mere
ly laagered in the ordinary acceptation of
the term, but occupies a carefully prepared
and strongly entrenched position, previ-
ously made ready with the object of STEM
ming the prospective British invasion of
the Free State.
After failing to dislodge Gen. Cronje
and in spite of great bloodshed on both
sides. Lord Roberts seems to have con-
tented himself with shelling the Beers
Monday and Tuesday. He had apparent
ly contemplated a renewal of the assault
Tuesday afternoon.
An additional list of casualties sustained
by the British troops during Che retreat
from Rensburg, Feb. 15 shows that four
teen men were killed and that 15S members
of wiltshire and Worcestershire regiments
are missing, the latter fact confirming the
Boer representatives that a number OF
prisoners had been captured by them.

SLEPT WHERE THEY FOUGHT.
Action Was One of the Most Fearful
in the Wars History.

Paardeberg Drift, o. F. s., Feb. 20-As
night fell, after the terrific fighting, which
lasted all day Sunday there was a sud
thoroughly tired and glad to rest.
The work of collecting the dead and
wounded proceeded and the men slept
where they had fought the whole day.
The action was one of the most fearfully
contested in the history of the war, for
the Beers were grimly fighting for their
lives, while the British determinedly har~
assed them.
The mounted infantry did good work
and the Highland Brigade fought stead
lily and sternly. The whole force behaved
well. Sunday evening the Gordon around
the Beers was completely closed on every
side in perfect silence. A few Beers came
into camp during the night and confessed
they were sick of fighting and that Gen.
Cronje was being urged to surrender.
All the animals and the men suffered
terribly from thirst. as it was impossible
to transport water. heavy thunderstorm
in the afternoon, however, considerably
relieved their suffering.
Lord Kitchener was present with the
force.
Gen. Mcdonald was wounded in the foot,
but not severely.
Gen. Cronje's force occupies the river
bed. Our men marched splendidly to over
take the retreating army. Deserters say
that great number of Beers lost their
horses.

Otherwise No Attention Will he

ST Louis. Feb. 22.--Lyman J. Gage, Sec
retary of the Treasury, arrived here to-
day. In an interview he said:
so far as 1 have been able to ascer-
tain, there is not a seintilla of evidence
to support Macrum's charges. l do not
BELIEVE that the officials of the English
government violated the secrecy of our
communications to our credited represen-
tative, and | think the Investigation 10 be
made will show as much.
"Of course, if Macrum can substantiate
his charges, If he can show documents
which will prove that his mail was tam
pered with, that will put the case IN an
other light. If the investigation should
reveal that state OF affairs, then the ad-
ministration would demand an apology
for the indignity. But / do not believe
there is the slightest possibility of such a
crisis arising. AS the case now stands,
Macrum is not troubling the administra-
tion. 1t will not give him the slightest
notice until he proves his charges"

Influence of German.
a speech which had great deal of in
fluence in fixing the date was made by
ex-senator German. He said that four
years ago 1t might have been well to hold
the convention early, as the party then
took new position, one which drove
many of the leaders out of the party or
into temporary retirement. The organiza-
ton then went into new hands, in
the hands of able men. hut many
of whom had not been active
in control of party affairs and il took
them some time to organize. Now there
was a good organization. The PARTY was
ready and equipped to enter upon the
campaign. The party in power should be
allowed to hold its convention first and tine
indictment of that party could he made
as it has been in times past.
Mr. Mclean of Ohio, also favored the
latter date.
Chairman Jones was authorized to ap-
point a subcommittee of seven TO make
arrangements for the convention. 1t is
probable that Messrs. Stone of Missouri,
and johnson of Kansas will be members
of this committee.
Call for the Convention.
The following call was issued this after
noon:
The National Democratic Committee,
having met in the city of Washington
on the END day of February, 1900, has
