ROOT HAS GIVEN CONCESSIONS.
Says They Were Given Under Law As
to NavigaBIe Waters.

Washington. March 22-Secretary Root
made brief statement 90 the press at the
war department in regard to the action
of the department in granting licenses to
prospectors to dredge the water front of
Cape Nome, Alaska, in their search for
gold.
He admitted that two concessions to
dredge sand had been issued and twenty
other applications are pending He says
they will all be granted. He says no ex-
elusive privileges have been granted and
there has been no discrimination.
His authority was based upon the stat
utes giving the war department jurisdic-
ton over the navigable waters of the
United States 1t was shown, he says,
that the purposed dredging of sand would
not interfere with navigation or the ri
parian rights of owners of adjacent terri
tory. The particular character of the
sand to be dredged did not enter into the
consideration of the case at all.
The Secretary said further that any
one was privileged to dig for gold in the
open sea and the only question consider
ed by the war department was whether
such operations conducted within the
three mile limit were an interference
with navigation or an infringement on
the rights of others. When these con-
ditions We're complied with the depart
ment was prepared to grant permission
'to anyone to dig in the beach at Cape
Nome or elsewhere at any point lying
within three miles of low water mark.
Secretary Root made it clear that the
privileges in question were free to all re-
sponsible persons. He will shortly sub
NIT his reply to the resolution OF inquiry
adopted by the Senate.

ing in force from Mafeking towards Lob

Col. Bodle made a reconnaissance on
March 1S and found Pltsani and Pothlugo

RUMOR OF MAFEKING's RELIEF.
Boer Women Are Anxious to Shoot at
English Officers.

London, March %, 4 a. m.-Again there
is a persistent rumor that Mafeking has
been relieved. The war Office, however,
declares that there is no confirmation of
the rumor, and that no further news on
the subject is at hand.
1t seems certain that Mafeking's only
chances lie in relief by the column sup
posed to be advancing from the south, or
in the possibility that Col. Baden-Powell
is still strong enough to attempt sortie
with view of capturing the Boer guns
al a time when Commandant Snyman has
Withdrawn his men to oppose Col. Plu-
mer'S advance.
All the reports regarding the British
operations in the Free State continue
most satisfactory.
1t is rumored from Lorenzo Marquee
that Pretoria is prepared to stand a siege
of two years, and that the Boer women,
frantic at The reverSes to the Boer arms,
are entreating to be allowed to shoot the
British officers imprisoned at Pretoria.
1t is announced from the Transvaal
capital that the Italian government has
declined to intervene.
