Washington, February &c AT the con-
ference Of House Republicans tonight,
on the Puerto Rican tariff bill, assurances
were given that the President believed
the measure constitutional and would
approve 1t If 1t came to him and an
agreement was reached to limit the opera
tion Of the pill to two years aud reduce
the drty imposed by IL from 20 TO 10
per cent Of tho American tariff. As q
result the Republican leaders claim that
the bill wiDlhave the support Of all the

of.. f..Massachusetts, Littlefield of Maine.
Lorimer OF Illinois, Crumpacker OF Indi-
ana and that the loss will be offset by
affirmative votes OF the opposition. They
claim the passage OF the modified bill Is
certain. After the conferences adjourned
at II o'clock, ChAirmen Cannon gave the
folio wing statements OF The amendment
agreed upon by the conference;
"rhe conference requested the ways

Mr. Spsnser Wiikinson's article on the

voted to criticism of Gen. b alters sppar-

Gen. Dewst, who were known 10 be
operating In the immediste front, at ear
ly dawn yesterday. determined to break
through the British lines and aid Gen.
Cronie.
A body OF 500 Beers moved towfri the
British left and centered in the direction
Of q kopej with the object Of occupying
10.
Unfortunately for the Beers, however,
the kopjs was held by q company Of
Scottish borderers, who opened q heavy
fire. The Bosrs gailoped OF, but moved
again towards another British position
with exactly the same result.
Then they made third attem pt to oc-
oupy another position, but the Borderers
were again ready to receive them. The
third repulse thoroughly difconcerted
the Beers who salloped away In panic.
Later, percsiving another kopjs, the
Beers moved quickly toward It.
This kopje was unocc ccupied, but the
Borderers not to be beaten, raced tbe
Beers for the position and won, occupy
ing the kopje aud driving eff the Beers.
A portion of the latter ultimately cccu-
pied a kopje fisnked partially by the
Borderers and facing another kopje held

but the withdrawal of the Beers from
most Of the places whers they have been
In contact with tho British except the
district near Lsdysmith, may ra'ss the
resisting force to DC. 600 man. This figure
assumes that the Beers have between Co.
600 and 7O,000 men In the field.
The gathering OF this army across the
parth o. Lord Roberts gives Significance
to General Croujs's stoadfnst defense.
He has engaged the corps OF Lord hob
erts for ten days now. and whether he IL
relieved or not he has given time for
the dispersed Boer factions TO get
together and to prepare positions to re-
oeive the British advance when Cron1e
il overcome and Lord Roberts moves
for ward. 1t Is difficult to conceive that
the Beers are st,oag enough to take the
offensive and to rescus General Cron1e
from his precarious situation. The war
office had nothing after midnight to indi-
ca to his collapse, and he may hold out Tor
. few days. The correspondents seem 70
have NO exact In formation respecting his
resources. Some say that he has plenty
Of food, but Is short Of ammunition.
Others assert that he abandoned his food

On Thursdsy and Friday he lest forty

ssnting a total Of from four hundrsd to

worked on Saturday upon the Boer posi-
tions, and n heliogrsm from Lady smith
reported that the Boers were retreatin g
and that larger rations were being Issued
In view Of the fact that relief seemed at
hand.
Nothing has been heard from Mafeking
| since February l2.
The movement on the field away from
the railway Ia bscoming increasingly
difficult for large bodies Of troops, as the
grass 10 burned up. GeEefal French has
to wagon forage for his horses and even
the infantry find the long marches
harder than before as forage for the trans
port animals must be carried. This re-
quires the formation of garrisoned depots.
The ordinary campaigning season is over.
and the siokly season for both men and
animals has set in.
Technical military writer's take these
things. into consideration In forecEsting
events.
The Daily Chronicle says 1T learns
from private letters that British rifles

THE CANAL TREATY.
The Administration In Favor OF H'
Early Ratification.

Warrington, February 26.-As there
have been many rumors absut the atti-
tude of tbs administration In regard to
the Hay-Paunoefots convention IL may
be stated as the result Of careful inquiry
that the President and tbs cabinet are
unanimous In its support; that they Oil
consider its provisions the best that oouio
have besu obtained and the best now
obtaipable, that consequently they Gil
desire It's early ratification. that there Ia
no intention of Withdrawing 1t, and no
belief that 1t can to amended TO any
great extent without destroying all hope
OF its ratification.
Furthermore, 1t is the opinion OF Secre'
taries OJney, Day and Hay, In whion they
say they have the support OF the best In
terpational lawyers of the country that
the CLAYTON Bulwer treaty 10 In full force
and effect and that 1t cannot legally be
got rid of except by mutual consent. Ii
the treaty before the Senate is rejected,
It is the opinion of the administration
that no legislation can be had for the
building of en- isthmian canal except
through the repudlation Of the Clayton
Bulwsr compact
The admjnistration believes that Con
gIess and the country are dissatisfied
with some of the provisions OF that con-
vention and wish them annulled so that
the United States may be in position to
build and regulate canal ACROSS the
isthmus. The proposed convention, In
the opinion of Secretary Hay, accom-
plishes this purpose. II 1t is rejected, it
is the opinion OF the Estate department
that the United States will either fall
back on the Clayton BnlUer convention,
which prohibits It's building the canal
independently of Great Britain or declare
that 1t hall no longer be bound either
by its obligations to Englsnd or by those
entered into with the Central American
States, to which also the United Stats'
have pledged Its word that the canal shall
be neutral.
