Cecil Rhodes Declares That There
Was No Cause for War.
His Diamond Company's Profits
Two Million Pounds for the Year.

KIMBERLEY, February 24.-Cecil
Rhodes, presiding at a meeting of the
De Beers Co., delivered remarkable
speech which was received with en-
thusiaSm. After announcing that the
years profits of the De Beers Co.
amounted to 100000, he spoke of
the chartered company's transactions
with De Beers and said that the share
holders were divided into two classes
imaginative and unimaginative. The
latter, he said, passed their time fill
ing money bags that are dissipated by
their offspring on wine and women
and horses. To the latter class he
stated that the transaction with the
chartered company had closed salts
factorily, as the De Beers Co. owned
all the diamonds wherever it's charter
existed. To the imaginative he drew
an eloquent picture of these many
mines 100 years hence as mirroring
European civilization in the far south.
1.-THE latter" he said feel a glow of
satisfaction at the thought that the
immense riches taken from the soil
have not been merely devoted to the
decoration of the fair sex"
OpodhluS VI Cil0 WAL, he COuSlu0TOu
it a puzzle why it had arisen. The
Transvaal and the Free State were not
republics, he declared, but oligarchies,
and had been long conspiring to seize
British South Africa. Each govern
ment was simply small political
gang who humbugged the poor Dutch
men, appealing to their patriotism
and dividing the spoils among their
lotteries. The Afrikander had been
working twenty years for independ-
ence. He said that the former presi-
dent, ReitZ, of the Orange Free tate,
had, years ago, avowed that his only
ambition in life was to drive England
out of Africa.
After showing how Kimberley had
been defended by citizens, of whom
120 had been killed or wounded, and
thanking Gen. French for his gallant
ride, Mr.. Rhodes closed by asserting,
eve have done our duty by preserv-
ing and protecting the greatest COM
mercial asset in the world-her mai

FOUR MEN KILLED
BY the Breaking of n Mine Carriage

SCRANTON, Pa, February 26-
Four men were killed this morning
in the Mount Pleasant mine by the
breaking of mine carriage. The
killed are: William Gilbert, Thomas
Williams, John Regain and Frank
woodward
The men were descending on the
mine carriage to the sixth vein. When
it reached the fifth vein, the carriage
which was going down at a rapid
rate, struck an adjustable shelf which
was left projecting, breaking the bot
tom of the carriage and dropping the
men to the pit, seventy-five feet be-
low. Gilbert and Regain were killed
instantly, while Williams and Wood
ward lived only a short time

Report is Premature

LONDON, February 27.-winston
Churchill, in a dispatch to the Morn
ing Post from Frere Camp, dated Sum
day, says:
"The idea that the Beers are raising
the siege of Ladysmith is premature.
The advance is being pursued in the
face of the most stubborn opposition
and of heavy loss.
President Kruger's grandson is
among the Beers killed"
Mr.. Churchill then proceeds to de-
scribe heavy fighting last Friday, in
which the Inniskillings approached
within 500 yards of the summit of a
rocky Boer position and then CALAMITY
charged in the face of a hail of bull
lets. He says:
After repeated attempts, however.
and having lost heavily, they recog-
nized that they were unable to pre-
vail. Nevertheless they refused to re-
treat, but lay down on the slope be-
hind shelter of walls. The Con-
naughts and the Dublin Fusiliers were
sent to their support, but the light
faded and the night closed in before
the main attack had developed"

A COMPROMISE
On the Porto Rican Tariff Assured.

Rates of Duty VIII be Reduced
and Made Temporary.
WASHINGTON February 26.-The
Republican leaders after an hours
consultation with Speaker Henderson
to-day over the Puerto Rican tariff
bill announced emphatically that the
bill would be modified and that as
modified it would pass. The changes
which the leaders have decided upon
are further reduction of the duties
to be levied upon American goods
imported into Puerto Rico and upon
Puerto Rican goods into the United
States from Is per cent of the Ameri-
can tariff as provided in the bill to 10
per cent. The bill is also to be made
temporary in it's character. 1t is on
ly to continue in force until gener-
al law for raising revenue for the ISL
and can be framed. Representative
Tawney, of Minnesota, the Republi-
can whip, after canvassing the situa-
ton to-day said that only five Repub-
lican votes would be cast against the

who opened heavy fire. The Beers
galloped off, but moved again toward
another British position, with exactly
the same result. They then made a
third attempt to occupy another posi-
ton, but the Borderers were again
ready to receive them. The third re-
pulse disconnected the Beers, who
galloped away in a panic. Later, per-
ceiving another kopje, the Beers NOV
ed quickly toward it. This kopje was
unoccupied, but the Borderers, not to
be beaten, raced the Beers for the po-
sition, and won, occupying the kopje
and driving off the Beers. A portion
of the latter ultimately occupied a
kopje fianked partially by the Bor-
derers and facing another kopje held
by the Yorkshires. A vigorous fusil-
lade ensued, the British firing accur-
ately, and succeeded in silencing the
Boer fire. Meanwhile the Bluffs vera
ordered to reinforce the Yorkshires in
case the Beers should be reinforced.
The British attack worked around TO
the right of the kopje held by the
Yorkshires, where the Seventh bat
terry was stationed, the Sixty-second
battery being placed at farm near
the center Of the Borderers' position.
A vigorous Smelling, accompanied by a
British fusillade, silenced the Beers.
A company of Yorkshires were sent to
clear out the Beers, but the attempt
failed, the Beers opening heavy fire,
and the British having no cover.
The British then again opened a
heavy rife fire, which again silenced
the Beers. The Beers made several
attempts to run, but the Maxims open
ed upon them. The Bluffs now worked
carefully and cautiously around and
got within $50 yards of the Beers.
Eighty Beers surrendered, but many,
it appears, escaped.
Most of the Prisoners
had just arrived from Ladysmith.
They complained of the bad general
ship of their leader. Nearly every
man carried explosive bullets and five
British were wounded with these mis-
siles. There is no longer the slightest
doubt that the Beers are gradually dis
carding all rules Of civilized warfare.
The other day they poured the con-
tents of Vickers-Maxim gun into an
ambulance, which happened, however,
to be empty, some 300 yards away from
the nearest troops.
The war balloon is doing excellent
service. Early this morning 1t arose
to great height and discovered in the

contained ammunition. These were
exploded by the British shells an hour
afterward. The balloon observer also
discovered number of horses con-
cealed nearby and these also received
attention from the British shrapnel.
