PROGRESS OF THE RELIEF ARMY.

UNOPPOsED MARCH OF BULLER'S TROOPS
TO THE BANKS OF THE TUGELA.
Mount Alice near Potgieter's Drift, Natal,
Jan 15-The forward movement for the relief
Of Ladysmith began Wednesday, January
10. from Frere and Chieveley. Lord Dundon-
AIDS mounted brigade with the Fifth Brigade,
under General Hart. comprising the Dublins,
the Connaughts, the Inniskillings and the Bor-
der Regiment, proceeded northwesterIy to
Springfield. The position had previously been
thoroughly reconnoitred.
A few miles outside Of Frere Lord Dundonald
passed targets erected by the Beers. to repre-
sent a force advancing in skirmishing order.
Evidently the Beers had been firing at these
from the adjacent hills
Lord Dundonald pushed on, and as the main
column advanced it was informed that Spring
field was not occupied by the Beers. and that
the Fifth Brigade had taken possession. The
British transport extended for several miles,
and comprised some five thousand vehicles.
The mounted brigade advanced rapidly, not
meeting with any opposition. The British scouts
had minutely searched all suspicious country
but there was no sign Of the enemy. The column
advanced to Mount Alice, facing the enemy's
mountain fortress
The Beers had been at Potgieter's Drift the
previous day but a body Of South African
Horse swan the stream under fire and brought
over the pont from the Beers side.
The Beers were evidently surprised at the ap-
pearauce Of the British the scene. A large
camp could be seen on Tugela Heights, facing
Mount Alice but the enemy quickly struck
camp and cleared off into the mountains. A
buggy was seen leaving for the hills on the
right presumably with General Joubert or some
other coumandant.
General Butler took up his quarters IN a
pleasantly situated farmhouse belonging TO Mar
tinius Pretorius, who had disappeared.
On Friday loud explosion was heard. Sub
seouently il was found that the Beers had de-
stroyed a bridge under construction seven miles
above Potgieter's Drift.
General Butler has issued spirited appeal
and instructions 10 the forces beginning;
We are going to the relief Of our comrades in
I.adysmith There will be no turning back.

Senator Platt and Mr.. Odell have been declaring
that the organization was TO be drawn into
the fight between the Governor and Mr.. Payu.
They have said that there would be quarrel with
the Governor If he succeeded in turning Mr.. Payn
out of Office. The reported intention Of the Gov
ernor to nominate Judge Charles T. Saxton for the
Office is believed have given a nervous shock
TO Senator Platt and caused him to make up his
mind that the organization must interfere. Mr..

the word "white" everywhere in the
constitution and the laws. Such
people, like your friend, belong
naturally to the Democratic Party.
/ advise you to keep your eye on
your friend, Mr.. Editor, because,
if he stays here long enough and
gets job from Mr.. Testa to write
on his paper, and if he should get
mad and should feel safe, he will
be calling the dark skin leaders OF
the Democratic Party "niggers;
and, if he should be lucky enough
to marry dark skin lady, his own
family would not be safe from his
blackguardism.
You will find, Mr.. Editor that
the thoughtful people Of this Terri
tory will rebuke the slur, which you
attempt to place upon such q
gentleman as W. g. Achi--a man OF
refinement and ability, who has
done more for the city and for Ha-
waiians than million men like your
friend could do; man who has
been success himself, and who
has kept others from going down.
Our Hawaiian voters will see from
this paragraph in a Democratic
paper what Democrats think Of dark
skin men, and they will realize that
the Democrats would take away
from them their votes and their
rights, if they could.
Now. Mr.. Editor, you had an oh,
ject in writing and publishing the
paragraph in question. II the
sentiments covered by it are your
own, then greater cowardice could
not be shown than that OF a mVn
who raises his arm to strike, but
has not courage to give the blow.
If your object was to print some
thing to injure me, you have failed; /;
and if your point was to say some
tn ing nasty to make me indignant,
you have failed. What have you
accomplished? You have simply
degraded your employers paper
in futile effort to "get even" with
public men whom you dislike.

in regard to Hawaiian politics
which he certainly does not know

Mr.. Stewart is evidently not aware

lowed insults in regard to Hawai-

tployees, walters, etc, in the States
were subjected to indiRities on ac-
count of their skin. Mr.. McCants
Stew should not have entered a
political career in Hawaii or else
where il he cannot stand person
alities. His personalities towards
the writer's of this paper we can af-
ford to smile at. We take extreme
ly little interest in his opinious, as
he forfeited the respect the COM
munity felt for him when he ap-
peared as champion for the refined
gentleman, known az w. G. Achi,
who now seeks legislative honors
from the voters OF Oahu. Mr.
Stewart should look up the record
of Mr.. Achi; he can find it in the
Supreme Court and among the Ha.
waiians and he would probably
blush for having referred to what
Achi has done for many Hawaiians
However, it may have been slip ol
the pen, and our graceful cores
pondent simply wished to refer to
the Hawaiians who say that Achi
has "done" them. We are always
pleased to hear from Mr.. Stewart
but we can hardly continually offel
our columns for Republican cam
paign literature, and that is exactly
what Mr.. McCants Stewards letter
is The INDEPENDENT is always oper
to the bright politician but we dc
wish he would restrict his writingl
to five sticks, and his speeches tt
