London, March DISCONTINUED alb
sence of an aggressive movement on
the part of the British is best ex-
planned in dispatch from Bloemfon-
tein, dated Sunday, March %, and pub
lished in the Times today. 1T says:
Conditions existing in the occupied
territory render somewhat prolonged
the halt at Bloemfontein. There is a
necessity that the effect of the procla-
nation have time to make itself felt.
1t is declared that the danger of an
noyance to line communication may be
apprehended, unless the territory be-
hind the advancing forces is rendered
absolutely secure. The accuracy of
this view is proved by the enemy
breaking up into Isolated gropus, such
as that which attacked the guards Off
GERS Friday. Adjustment of financial
and municipal matters in the Free
State is now chiefly occupying the at
tention of the governor and his legal
advisers. The military regime is being
conducted with great smoothness, but
recent Investigations show that eau
ton must be exercised in dealing with
persons apparently loyal.
This summary is probably an accu-
rate explanation of the frequent ap-
pearance and disappearance OF Beers
and insurgents upon which the reports
are conflicting and which SO puzzle
British military critics.
Methuen appears to be awaiting
transportation and with Plumer's
forces on half rations there now seems
little likelihood of the immediate relief
of Mafeking tho neither from thi:
quarter nor from Roberts or Butler i.
there any direct news today.

cruiting actively and that large mum

CONGRESSIONAL PROGRAM.
Porto Rico VIII BE Before the Na-
tional Lawmakers Again This

w cShs
Washington, March 26-Again this
week the senate will give the greater
share of its time to the Porto Rico ques-
ton, ard the outlook is for a continue
ton of the animated scense of last week.
Porto Rico, however according 20
present indications. will step aside tenn
porarily at the beginning of the week in
order TO afford Senator Clark an oppor-
tunity to secure consideration for his
Alaskan code bill The present condi-
ton of affairs in Alaska and the pros
pect of still greater influx of people
into that territory, make the Alaska
Legislation very important. and the con-
dition of Porto Rico legislative affairs
is such as to make il convenient to give
Alaska the much desired opportunity.
The republican caucus will take the
Porto Rico question in hand again today
and until it acts the senators having
charge of the measure Will not desire TO
press 1t. The republican senators who
support the house tariff bill hope to get
the measure out of the caucus after only
one sitting, but the free traders are not
so anxious on that score. and the latter
element may delay matters there as
they are disposed to do in the senate
with the hope of receiving still further
encouragement from the country at
large.
Some of the members Of the free trade
republican element declare their pur-
pose to vote against the bill if reported
without amendment. They threaten tc
offer many amendments and to make
| speeches in opposition and otherwise t.
do all in their power to prevent the pas
sage of the bill as it stands, but TIL.
caucus of course may find means o
preventing this open rupture. AT an.
rate strong effort will be made in tha
direction.

MANY LEAVE KRooSsTAD.
Indications That FREQ stnters VIII
Move Their Capital Again.

London, March a6.--Lord Roberts still
refrains from shedding any light on his
Intentions respecting future operations
in South Africa and Gen. Butler contin-
ues to prepare for a forward movement.
Yet there is little likelihood of any at
tack upon the Beers in northern Natal
80 long as d chance remains that they
will abandon their positions in order to
take part in the defense of Johannes
burg.
According to Gen. Baden Powell's re-
port to Lord Roberts, under date of
March IA, the Beers Gordon around
Mafeking is much relaxed, but that
probably indicates nothing more than
that many of the investing Beers have
been withdrawn for the purpose of
pushing back Col. Plumer. II is not in-
possible that the commander in chief
expects to relieve Mafeking in much
the same way as he aided Gen. Butler
to accomplish the relief of Ladysmith--
that Is to say. that he proposes to push
northward SO as to compel the connect
ing force to raise the siege and partici-
pate in the fighting along the Vaal
river.
Dispatches Indicate that the Beers
are abandoning Kroonstad. IL that is
true 1t would seem that Cen. Joubert's
scouts have determined, from extended
reconnoisances, that to attempt to
stand against the large British army at
Kro0nstad would be folly. That these
scouts have been close to the British
forces ia proved by the sckening Incl
dent of Friday. when a party of gren-
adler and Coldstream officers We're shot
in their helplessness by an ambush of
burghers. This exhibition OK incredible
rashness is the talk of London. All the
officers involved are highly connected
and their friends feel as much chagrin
as sorrow because of their unsodierly
foolhardiness.
1t Is remarked In this connection thai
profuse promotions. decorations and
titles have been given in recent years
to British officers who have distin-
guished themselves by venturesome ex-
ploits. But in these exploits it is be.
ginning to be pointed out. the elemen
