THE WAR IN AFRICA.

News received in London yesterday
from Mafeking carries events up to
March II, on which date Colone! Ba-
deu-Powell was still holding the Beers
at bay. The Gordon around the town
had been much relaxed, doubtless ow
log to the withdrawal of large part oil
the be i.eiog force to cope with Colonel
Plumer's relief expedition. The Beers
who rem aimed, however, showed great
activi Y in Smelling, The garrison was
worn out and its straits for food are
shown by the fact that patrol lost five
men in orderto capture twenty-six cat
tie.
A clue to the mysterious British ex
petition which is supposed to be on the
way to Mafeking from the south is per.
hsps afforded by report taken to
Kimberley by prisoners, that a British
cavalry column has penetrated the
Transvaal Is miles north Of Christi
ana. The reports of the prisoners 10.

have advanced from Kimberley to Four.

northward toward Mafeking.

a strong force at Glen, ten miles from

vance. Lieutenant Lyon was killed

wounded as result of proceeding too
far north of the British lines.

Free State, 10 miles north Of the Orange
river. He read an address to the resi-
dents, advising them to accept the in
svitable."

Basutoland border. The report that he
had been fighting with Beers retiring
northward Is said to have been incor.
rect.
Griqustown, 100 miles southwest OF
Kimberley, has been reoccupied by the
Beers. This is an important place In
the rebel district of Cape Colony, which,
1t was announced last Friday, Lord
Kitchener bad pacifed. The rebellion
is difficult to crush and is now spread
over wide area.

Two YEARS ago President Mckinley
speaking of the proposition to hold the
territory conquered from Spain, said
it "could not be thought OF, as by our

eral of Cuba, now says the revenue nee
essary for the maintenance Of the gov
eminent of that island shall be raised
by taxes ON the Cuban land, and not on
