LOSS OF OVER 100000.

such an operation might be dangerous in

that as regards a European war he quite
agreed with me. But he added, you

very much as though recent events had de-

beaten IN detail Their only chance is to
collect the bulk of their forces for a de-
cisive battle. If they have not enough men
of spirit to stand up TO Lord Roberts their
case Is hopeless. 1t begins to look, indeed,
as IL my original estimate of the strength
of the enemys forces-about 50,000-were
not far wrong. In that case the game is
up. for they must have lost 10000 of the
original $1,000. The escape of the Boer
force yesterday. however. is very disap-
pointing. A good general is not satisfied
with the retreat OF his enemy. He wishes
to destroy them

WHITE INTERVIEWED.
Sir George Says He Might Have Held
Out Until April 2.

LONDON, March Winston Churchill
telegraphs the substance of an interview
he has had with Sir George White, who
commanded the Ladysmith garrison. Cen
eral White said he might have held out un-
til April 2, but this would have involved the
death of most Of the native population by
starvation and of the sick from want of
nourishment Then he would have de-
stroyed the stores and ammunition, and all
who were fit to crawl five miles would have
sailed forth to make show of resistance
to avoid formal capitulation. He declared
that he had always begged General Butler
not to hurry the relief operations, adding,
earnestly: cit is not right to charge me
with the great loss of life they involved"
Mr.. Churchill says General White spoke
bitterly of home criticisms and of attempts
at the War Office to supersede him, at
tempts which General Butler prevented
from succeeding In conclusion he ex-
claimed: II regret Nicholson's nek Per-
haps 1t was rash, but 1t was the only
chance of striking a heavy blow. But
regret nothing else. I would do it all over
again..

RIOT AT EDINBURGH.
"Stop the War" Meeting Broken Up by
University students.

EDINBURGH, March IA stop the
war" meeting, admission to which was
regulated by ticket, was held in this city
this evening. Long before the hour fixed
university students secured possession of
the hall. 1t is alleged that several hun
dred gained entrance by counterfeit tick
cts and the audience was so unruly that the
doors were barricaded inside and outside.
James Keir-Hardie, chairman of the In
dependent Labor party, an editor of the
Labor Leader, endeavored to speak, but ali
to no purpose. Finally he announced that
the principal speaker, Mr.. Cronwright-
Schreiner, was outside. The meeting was
thereupon abandoned by the promoters
and rush was made for the platform.
The police used their batons and a free
fight ensued. Numerous arrests were made.
A gentleman, whose identity has not been
established, was severely handled outside
the hall by the crowd, under the impression
that he was Mr.. Cronwright-Schreiner. He
tainted, fell and was trampled upon. Ul-
timately he was rescued insensible by the
police The students finished the anti
peace demonstration by parading through
the principal streets.

bert's Army Last Week.
BoER CAMP. BIGGERsBERG, March 8.
The federals have fallen back on the
Biggersberg chain that crosses Natal south
of Dundee. The retreat from Ladysmith
was due to a mistake of a certain COM
mandant in ordering his men to retire from
the key of the position without any reasons
for the move. On the receipt of bad news
from the Modder river Wednesday it was
resolved to send the wagons back to Big
gersberg, and soon long strings of OK
wagons lined the road.
Over a Thousand wagons took the wester-
ly route to the laager southwest of Lady
smith. Another convoy was sent to the
foot of the Drakensberg. A large number
Of tents captured from the enemy at Dun
dee and also the ammunition were aban-
doned. The chief difficulty was in dis
mounting Long Tom.'
The Beers were independent of the rail-
way. as is shown by the fact that not one
of the 1000 wagons went by rail. All trav-
eled by road, together with the field bat
teries. Only the heavy guns, the infantry
and wounded went by rail.
When the last train had left Elandslaagte
a workmen's train followed. carefully
Blowing up every bridge and culvert be-
tween Ladysmith and Glencoe, and when
this had been done setting fire to the
Elandslaagte collieries. Thus the British,
with Natars southernmost collieries In
their hands. are unable to draw supplies
therefrom. Under cover of the night and
with the colleries sending lurid flames to
heaven the bullock wagons wound over the
hills, making roads where none before ex-
listed. and the four months siege of Lady
smith was raised.

DEMANDS OF REBEL DUTCH.


CAPE TOWN, March IA great move
ment is in progress among the Cape Dutch
to obtain a settlement of the South African
questions consistent with the maintenance
of the independence of the republics. 1t is
doubtless argued that the Dutch, having
remained loyal. are entitled to a hearing at
the settlement. The argument would have
more force If the Dutch had not risen in
every district where there was a reason
able chance of success, and it is certain
that the whole British community and the
actively loyal Dutch are opposed to any
settlement short of annexation. A proposal
has been made by deputation of the
Dutch party to visit England shortly in
the interest of peace.
The remainder of the Canadian artillery
has gone to the front. Squadrons A and B,
of Kitchener's horse, that were reported
missing, have returned to camp. They
were cut off with Squadron on Feb 13,
but they escaped, although they lost their
way afterwards on the veldt. Squadron L

WELCOMED TO HAVANA
SECRETARY ROOT GREETED By MIL
ITARY AND CIVIL OFFICIALS.
Wondering What He Is
Learn Something from Cubans.

HAVANA, March 7.-Secretary Root ar
rived here at o'clock this morning on
board the United States transport Sedg-
wick. He was received with salute from
Cabanas fortress. General Ludlow was
also on board the Sedgwick. Governor
General Wood and all the division staff and
the Department of Havana staff were con-
veyed to the transport by the Quartermas-
ter's tug and escorted the party ashore.
The prominent Cubans who visited the
Sedgwick were the chief justice, the sec
retaries, the mayor the civil governor and
the chief of police.
The local papers indulge in much specu-
lation as to the reason for the visit, but
almost without exception they say that
Mr.. Root is welcome and that they hope
he will not only enjoy the experience, but
that he will learn more about the Cuban
people than he ever could by reading news
paper dispatches and opinions, which give
such varying opinions that no man can
tell what to believe. One journal says:
Secretary Root is less liable than some
others to be led astray by casual talk. for
the people with whom he is most likely to
come into contact will be Cubans Of intel
ligence and foresight"
The military reception at the palace this
afternoon was largely attended by Ameri-
can officers and their families.
Mgr Sbarretti, bishop of Havana, says
there is no truth in the story that he has
asked Rome to recall him. On the con-
trary he feels that the opposition origi-
nally felt to his appointment is passing
away However, he is not subject to the
Congregation of the Propaganda and has
not asked to be removed. He suggests that
some one who does not understand the
question involved must have put the report
into circulation.
Senior Gualberto Gomez. discussing the
rumor to-day, said: 1.-The great fear the
Cubans had was that a bishop would be
appointed who would sympathize with and
give preference to the Spanish clergy. If
Mgr. .Sbarretti proves himself to be without
bias in this respect as he seems to be do
ing, all would go WELL"

MUST PAY THE TAX.
Northern Pacific Railway Loses Its
Bills of Lading Case.

MINNEAPOLIS, March IA jury in the
Federal Court to-day found against the
Northern Pacific Railway in a test case
involving the validity of the revenue tax
on bills Of lading for export. The road had
shipped $1,000 pounds Of wheat to Liverpool
and claimed exemption on constitutional
grounds, quoting the clause Of Article 1,
Section 9. which says that mo tax or duty
shall be laid on articles exported from any
State" The Northern Pacific will take the
case up to the Supreme Court. The gov
crnment's contention is that the tax is laid
not on the goods. but on the bill Of lading
as document.

RAILROADING BILLS.
Kentucky Democrats Hurry Partisan
Observation-Disclosures Session Expected.

FRANKFORT, KY, March THE
House to-day passed the McChord railroad
anti-extortion bill by a vote of 5s to AZ.
The bill authorizes the State railroad COM
mission to fix the maximum of freight
rates and to punish for discrimination and
extortion. From a party standpoint it's
passage was the carrying out of the prin-
cipal planks in the platform on which the
late Democratic Governor Goebel was
nominated. The Republicans. in a body,
opposed the bill and up to last night it
looked as If enough Democrats would bolt
party lines to defeat the bill, but on the
final vote only two, Representatives Klair
and Armstrong. voted with the Repub-
licans against it. and Henry and Orr,
Democrats did not vote. That the bill
will be approved by Democratic Governor
Beckham is conceded.
The Goebel assassin reward bill for $780,
900 became a law to-day by the approval
of Democratic Governor Beckham. The
commissioners appointed to expend the
fund or such part of Ii as may be neces-
sary to apprehend or convict the assassin,
held a meeting tonight and began work
The Democratic leaders in the Legis-
lature, going on the assumption that the
courts will decide in favor of Democratic
Governor Beckham, are preparing for an
extra session of the Legislature early in
May. Governor Beckham, IL is said, de-
termined that the fate of the McChord BILL
passed in the House to-day, should decide
whether or not an extra session would be
called. The passage of the bill, the lead
ers say, indicates that all party measures
can be passed and therefore assures an
extra session.
In the Senate to-day, Senator Triplett
offered a substitute for his resolution to
provide for a committee to investigate the
removal of munitions from the arsenal to
London. The substitute proposes to ap-
propriate 5000 600 for the immediate equip
ment of a State guard under Democratic
