FROM LORD ROBERTS.


He Reports That He Is Hurrying Re-
Inducements to Hamilton.
LONDON. May 1.-The War Office has re-
ceived the following dispatch from General
Roberts:
"BIoemfontein, May Liam Hamilton
marched yesterday in a northerly direction
from Thaba N'Chu with body of mounted
infantry and Smith-Dorriens brigade of
Clements division. AT Hautney he found
himself opposed by a strong force COM
manded by General Botha in person. Re-
Inducements reached this force during the
day, and 1 directed French to strengthen
him during the night from Thaba N'Chu.
This he was able to do, as the number of
Beers in the neighborhood of Thaba
N'Chu considerably decreased. In addition
to these troops Hamilton should be rein
forced during the day by Broadwood's
cavalry and Bruce Hamilton's infantry
brigade Hamilton mentioned that his
casualties yesterday were about thirty.
''Maxwells brigade of the Seventh Di-
vision yesterday occupied vlaksontors ard
Schauskraal, a row of kopjes without
meeting with opposition. But the mounted
infantry were engaged for some hours
An earlier dispatch from Lord Roberts
says: 1.-The Beers made very persistent
attacks around Thaba N'Chu on Saturday
and Sunday. But the position which the
Eighth (Rundle's) Division holds is very
strong, and he had the assistance of Cor
don's and Dicksons brigades. the cavalry
under French and Smith-Dorrien' infan-
try brigade, and body of mounted in
fantry under General Hamilton. Pole
Carew's division returned from Dewets-
dorp yesterday"
Lord Roberts also reports additional
casualties during the fighting of April 81
around Thaba N'Chu consisting of Lieut..
Geary and two enlisted men killed and one
officer and three enlisted men wounded
A special dispatch from Thaba N'Chu,
dated yesterday. says the Beers made
daring attempt 10 cut of a British convoy
which got into broken ground between
Thaba N'Chu and Dewetsdorp, opening
fire from the adjacent hills. In the nick of
time General Brabason, with a strong force
of yeomanry returning from Wepener, ar
rived on the scene and extricated the con-
voy. The same special correspondent de-
scribes the disposition of the forces at
Thaba N'Chu as follows: General Rumble
is covering the advanced camp facing the
Beers position TO the east, where they are
strongly intrenched. Gen. Ian Hamilton
and General Smith-Dorrien occupy strong
positions the road to the north.
Another dispatch says a column under
General Hamilton located the Beers to the
northwest and an artillery duel ensued
without result. All accounts tell of much
artillery firing, with scarcely any casual
ties. Ii is hardly likely that two such
forces can much longer patiently face each
otner without more stirring occurrences.
General Brabants column is expected to
Join General French shortly.
A number of Beers are reported to have
been seen retiring north, but this is scarce
iy authoritative.
Stringent measures are being adopted to
prevent the Boer guerrillas from securing
supplies from other centers.

has at least 5000 men. Some estimates
give him 10000. The Beers are estimated
to be at least 5000 strong, and possibly
10000 According to a dispatch from Pre-
toria, dated April %. they were expecting
to give battle, and have numerous artil-
lery.
So long as the Beers engaged the at
tention of half of Lord Robertss force at
Thaba N'Chu, his advance toward Pre-
toria will be delayed. No one here. how
ever, considers that General Botha will
be able to stand longer than few days.
The feeling is that he must be beaten off
by the masses of Lord Roberts.
The Bloemfontein correspondent of the
Times, telegraphing Monday, says: 1.-THE
fighting at Thaba N'Chu is of a desultory
nature. The whole front is now to be swept
by mounted troops preparatory to definite
forward movement, for which the forces
may now be termed organized"

Under the State Constitution the Legis-

larities in the trial, and Taylor'S friends
had been refused the privilege of arguing
the case. Seventeen hundred pages of tes-
timony were taken, but there was not time

MICHIGAN DEMOCRATS
THEY INSTRUCT THEIR DELEGATES
TO VOTE FOR w. j. BRYAN.
Also Favor G. A. TOwne for Tail of
the Ticket-Usual Anti-Re-
publican Platform.

PORT HURON. Mich, May 1.-The first
State political convention in Michigan
was held here to-day when the Democratic
representatives from twenty-seven coun-
ties elected delegates to the national con-
vention and adopted resolutions embody-
ing their views on the various political is
sues of the times. Following are the dele
gates at large: Daniel j. Campau, of De-
troit. Thomas z. Barkworth. of Jackson:
Wellington r. Burt. of Saginaw; Rush
Culver. of Marquette.
The platform was adopted without de-
bate. 1t begins: 1.-The Democracy of
Michigan greets again the friends of good
government and reform, and pledges itself
to a renewal of the struggle for equal
rights and equal privileges. as expressed in
the Chicago platform and so ably cham
pioned by our gallant leader. in that great
struggle for commercial. industrial and
financial freedom" Further along the
platform says:
1--WE sincerely deplore and condemn the
action Of the Republican majority in both
of the two houses of Congress and of
President Mckinley, in refusing TO be
bound by the Constitution in the govern
ment of Porto Rico and of the other
islands recently acquired from Spain. and
in putting the United States In the atti-
tude of having the most despotic and
tyrannical policy of any modern nation.
I'VE denounce the whole Republican
scheme of imperialistic dependencies. not
only as unconstitutional, but as extremely
impolftic and unwise, and unworthy of
liberty-loving Americans. We believe this
policy has been dictated to and forced on
the administration of President Mckinley
by the mercenary combinations known as
trusts. The trust Is supreme in political
I'm industrial activities. In both IL Is
an unmixed public evil The economic ad-
vantages of industrial combinations are
entirely lost 10 the people and swell the
profits OF arrogant and constituencies mag
mates who feed on the reprehensible in
difference of their victims.
I'VE request our delegates to the national
convention TO urge upon that body the Sc
lection OF the most practical and effective
of the many plans for curtailing the pow
ers Of the trusts and TO pledge the party
10 specific legislation upon the lines
adopted.
I'VE still indorse the movement for the
historic union OF gold and silver - prt-
