EARLY AFRICAN WAR NEWS
SEYENTY-THREE VIGON LOADS OF
 SUPPLIES REACH LADISMITH.
Garrtson's List of Casualties During the Siegc-s,000 Soldiers Passed Through the Hosp!tal-Ent thusiastic Welcome of InCd uIl Il O n lal,s In Il
of Lord Dundonald's Band.

London, March "A dispatch .from
 General Butler was received at the war
 office this morning announcing that 1 seventy-three wagon loads of supplies are now entering Ladysmith, the first eleven wagons containing hospital com- forts.
 Colonel Rhodes, a brother of Cecil Rhodes, describing in the Times the en- try into Ladysmith of Lord Dundonald and 300 men of the Imperial Light Horse and Natal Carbineers, on Feb ruary 2S, says:
 'lt is impossible to depict the enthu- siasm of the beleagured garrison Cheer upon cheer ran from post to post, and staff officers, civilians, and soldiers flocked to greet them. At the ford of the Kip river, women, with children in their arms, tearfully pressed forward to grasp the hands of the gallant band, Sisters and brothers, friends and rela- lives met again. It was the most mov- ing scene I have ever witnessed. The contrast between the robust troopers of dozen battles and the pale, emaciated defenders of Ladysmith was great. The hour for which we had so patiently waited had come at last
 General White and his staff met the troops in the center of the town He was cheered with heartfelt enthusiasm. He addressed the civilians and thank ed them and the garrison for their magnificent support through trials which we alone can realize We could hny cix aJrc longer but the privations would have been great, and sickness and the pauci- ty of our ammunition would have linn ited the number of assaults we would have been able to resist
 We originally started the siege with 12,000 troops. 2,000 civilians and 4000 natives Between casualties and sick ness 5000 soldiers passed through the hospital. It is impossible to over en- phasize the privations of the sick. Since the middle of January, man once down was practically lost. The reduced rations of the soldiers just suf- feed for their subsistence Daily thir- ty odd horses and mules were slaugh- tered and converted into soup and saul sages. From January 15 to now there "NC peoh oNei ~VV ueatiiS llolH ulsedSe alone.
 'The last fortnight saw the majority of the field batteries unhorsed, and the guns permanently posted In our defen- ses. The cavalry and drivers were con- verted into infantry and sent to the trenches. A line of defenses had been constructed with the view to possible final contingency, if the outer works should be carried by the investment.
 Since the investment the total cas- ualties were: Killed or died of wounds, 4 officers and 235 men; died of disease, 6 officers and $40 men: wounded, 70 of- flcers and 52o men, exclusive of white civilians and natives"

THE LAST DAYS FIGHTING.

Terrible Havoc of the British Sell Fire
 Ranks.
 Colenso Camp, Wednesday, Feb. 2S.- The Boers lost heavily during yester- days fighting The lyddite wrought fearful havoc in the trenches. Many of the wounded were yellow from the effects of the fumes. More than hum dred prisoners were taken; many of them Hollanders, and few were gen uine Boers. Considerable ammunition for rifles fell into the hands of the British, as we'll as damaged Maxim gun.
 Boers of sixteen years were among the wounded. The prisoners had not heard of the surrender of General Cron- je and discredited 1t. The majority seemed to be glad to be captured. They admit heavy losses recently. The wo- men remained with the Boers in the trenches until three hours before the British charged Two women were found, one dead and the other shot through the body. She has since died. She said her husband would not let her go home as she was such good shot. The woman was only nineteen years old. The idea of the intensity of the shell fire can be gathered from the fact that of ninetyfive guns in action the Nineteenth battery alone fired 794 rounds, firing every ten seconds. The British casualties were about two hun dred men.

THE ATTORNEY DONNED SKIRTS.
 Charles T. Caldwell, one of the best known and most distinguished mem- bers of the West Virginia bar, created q sensation in the circuit court yesterday by appearing in skirts.
 His, reason for assuming female at tire was that he desired to impress upon a jury trying the damage-sult of fe- male client against the electric railway company, how easy it was wor Wo- mans skirt to catch upon the car brake and how the brake dog would put the skirt in such manner as to pull her vl- olently forward instead of tripping her feet from under her. MT. Caldwell, who is very large man and weighs in the neighborhood of three hundred pounds, wore a dress much too small for him, and his appearance totally disrupted the dignity of the court. The trick won, however, and his client was awarded substantial damages. ges.-Parkersbury (W. Va.) Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

The "Danbury Kid" Arrested by Pa
 trolmen Lawlor and Donovan.
 Patrolmen Lawlor and Donovan last night about midnight arrested one of the men implicated in the robbery of the mail carrier in Greenwich Tuesday night. His name is Martin O'Shea and is more commonly known as the 'Dan- bury Kid.'' OShea is nineteen years old. On the night of the robbery the Greenwich authorities telephoned a de- scription of OShea to Sergeant Cook who in turn gave it to the patrolmen as they went out for duty. Patrolmen Lawlor and Donovan spied a man answering the description and arrested him. about 12 o'clock last night in a lodge house on Fair street. O'Shea will be taken to Greenwich to-day.

London, March, 2, ? D. m.-With no prospect of any exciting news coming in from Ladysmith in the near future, all eyes turn once more towards Field Marshal Lord Roberts and his advance into the Orange Free State The critics of the afternoon newspapers are almost unanimous in expecting the main stand of the Boers to be made at Wynburg or in its vicinity Before Lord Roberts, advance on Bloemfontein can become effective, the strong force of Boers al- ready gathered southwest of Paarde- berg must be dispersed The British lack remounts, and the necessity of thorough transport organization may delay decisive action in this quarter for several days, and perhaps weeks.
 Mafeking alone now awaits relief, and a force to accomplish this is prob- ably already on it's way. No more popular event could now take place for Great Britain than the relief of Colonel n-Powell. It is believed that he is quite able to hold out till succor ar riyes.
 In northern Cape Colony the British campaign progresses we'll The whole line of the Orange River should soon be in their possession. It is suggested that General Whites garrison may be sent to sea to recuperate, but this hardly seems probable

Orange River March 1.-General Cronje and his wife passed here last night on the way to Cape Town. Elab- crate precautions had been taken to present the public from seeing him.
 Even the officers were ordered off the station, and the refreshment room was kept closed before his arrival, to the discomfort of the Kimberley passen- gers, who were obliged to go without food General Cronje looks dejected and miserable, and his hair is much grayer. He entered the. refreshment room accompanied by hls wife, son, and interpreter, and General Prettyman and his staff Taking his seat at a table he covered his face with his hands for few moments in prayer.

OUR POLICY in CHINA.

1t is with feeling of profound
thankfulness that the American peo-
pie will receive the glad news of the
entrance of the allied forces into Pc
gin and the rescue of the foreign le
gatiOners who have for so long been
ip peril of death at the hands of Chi
nese mobs and the imperial troops.
National solicitude for the fate of
Minister Conger and his associates of
the American Legation has naturally
been of an intensity not often de-
handed of the entire people. During
many days the nature of the news
was such as to leave little hope that
Conger was alive. Even when news
began to dribbIe ont from Pekin
there was little that was reassuring in

thing certain-that if China permit
ted the slaughter of the ENJOYS she
must be made to pay the penalty to
its fullest limit.

lifts this duty of revenge and
bloody reprisal from the American
people. We have now to settle
with China on a basis of money
indemnity for the damages aris-
ing from the Boxer rebellion. 1t is
not legitimately our policy to take
advantage of the opportunity to seize
Chinese territory and to plant Ou1
flag permanently on Chinese soil. Il
land-grabbing is attempted by the
European Powers, as is most certain
to be the case, we have the right tt
insist upon a full protection o.
American trade rights in whatever
settlement may be effected. ThiI
should be done, but beyond this th'
United States Government should
not go.
Especially ought we to refrain
from acting as the ally and tool o
England against Russia, France ant
Germany. The matters in disput'
between those Governments are mat
tiers in which we are not vitally con
cerned- certainly not to the exten
of becoming involved in the genera

Capital Removal.

We admire the push and enter
prise of Jacksonville, and the united
energies of her citizens toward max
ing her the metropolis of the State.
Such laudable efforts will surely
bring rich reward to any commu-
nifty.
However, while we admire their
progressive strides, we no not forget
that there are other interests in Flor
ida which should have consideration
besides that of making a great me-
tropoli3 of Jacksonville.
At present there are no factions in
the Democratic party of Florida,
while Jacksonville seeks to make the
Capital removal a political question
in every convention. The Democ-
racy is asked to join in the wrecking
of the present Capitol at Tallahassee
in order that Jacksonville may graf

seat of government located there.
This would mean expenditure OF
at least one million of dollars to the
taxpayers. Of this amount Nassau

than twenty thousand dollars, while

come. From an economic stand.

REr1OVALISTS CAN'T FOOL PEO.
PIE.


The truthful statement of the
Capital removal issue sent out to
Florida voters by the Tallahassee
Capital League, has made the ire
sponsible agitators angry. They
are writhing in agony, and talking
and acting wildly. They know the
people are on to their peculiar
methods, and that the people will
administer to them a mighty solar
plexus blow at the coming Capital To-
cation primary, which will retire
them-to well deserved oblivion.
The Capital removal cry is the
one and only political asset of a few
men. Six months ago they were
generals without armies, having
nothing to lose and all to gain.
Fatty degeneration of the consci-
ence having relieved them of all
scrpples or sense of fairness, they
hunted up an issue which would
enable them to yell themselves into
notice by the most easily deceived
of their immediate constituents, and
so intoxicated were they made by
the; temporary foothold which they
gained in the party's council as the
result of Duval county factional
contest, that they have tossed reason
and argument to the winds, and
are now busily, though unwittingIy,
engaged in destroying whatever
merit may lie in their side of the
unnecessary and .undesired issue
which they have forced upon the
voters of Florida.
These voters are a fair-minded
and intelligent people. They know
the origin and object of this Capital
removal agitation, and there is very
little danger that they will allow
their pockets to be feeced and their
homes mortgaged to crafty and en-
rich scant handful of politicians
who have never contributed a nickel
towards fighting Democracy's hard
battles in past years, and whose
names appear on the tax books Of
no county in this State. y
The people of Florida are to be
congratulated upon their quick ap'
probation of the danger which a
few discredited expounders of bad
law and worse politics had at.
tempted to- foist upon them. The
deliberate misrepresentation which
this ignoble crew have spread ovel
the State are an insult to the intel.
ligence of Floridians, and all citi.
zens of the State who believe in
economical government and careful
preservation of the interests of the
tax payers, find much comfort in
contemplating the unmistakable re-
buke to greed and proposed ex
travagance which the voters Of
Florida will administer to the reck
less and irresponsible leaders of th,
Capital removal chorus when tn
primary is held on the sixth of No
vember.
