be forecasted with any degree of conf
dence. Gen. Roberts has cleared his
eastern flank, but may be compelled to
halt until his transport is in order.
The war office gave out a short death
list at midnight, including the names of
five officers. but offered no explanation
OF the operations around Thaba NChu,
since Friday morning. The natural in
ference was that the Beers had re-
treated toward Ladybrand and that Gen.
French had not succeeded in surround
ing them or blocking the road. The bril-
lance of Gen. Roberts maneuyers is gem
orally recognized by well-informed mil
itary men, but the Aldershot group Is
ready to criticise his strategy and tao
tics. which have not involved the cap
ture of the several commanders. These
croakers are bent upon having Paarde-
burg every time, but this Is hardly reas-
enable especially when the Boer forces
are mobile and led with exceptional eau
ton and ability. Gen. Roberts results
are accomplished without serious losses.
His campaign is very different from the
bate OF Colenso, as described by Sir
william MacCormack, in which the Brit
,sh casualties were 1.l50 and the Boer
losses 30, an astonishing exhibit, which
has induced sober reflection here upon
the Aldershot methods of training and
f1eld practice, and similar deductions
might be drawn from the record of Gen.
Methuen at Magersfontein. The war has
not ended, but seems likely TO be pro-
longed for many months. but Gen. Rob-
erts has redeemed the military prestige
of the empire from reproach and re-
stored the moral effect of the British
army.

BRYAN VISITS MICHIGAN
IL on Hand ut the Democratic Com
vention to See That No Mis-
takes Are Made.

PORT HURON, Mich, April so.--Nearly
all the leaders OF the Michigan Democracy
and hundreds Of the rank and file came to
Port Huron today for the dual purpose Of
standard bearer. William ]. Bryan, and OF
attending the state convention, which Will
meet mt noon tomorrow to select delegates
to the national convention. Another Incl
dent of the gathering today was the
Seventh district Democratic congressional
mously nominated Congressman Justin II.
Whiting as representative.
On account OF the presence OF Mr.. Bryan
the congressional convention was held in
the city's largest and handsomest audito-
rum. The colonel appeared toward the
close of the congressional proceedings and
received an enthusiastic reception To-
night Mr.. Bryan addressed another crowd
OF 1900 in the same hail.
The speaker was loudly cheered when he
reiterated his belief In free coinage OF sill
yer at the ratio of l6 TO l. Concerning the
Philippine issues he said
III we abandon the idea of self-govern-
ment in the Philippines We cannot long re-
tain self-government in the United States.
II we send an army OF $500 men TO stifie
aspirations for liberty In the Orient, those
soldiers when they return home will surely
have become ifnpregnated with those ideas
OF oppression. The Filipino must be
any one to cite any despot In all time upon
whom more autocratic power has been
conferred as a ruler than that conferred
upon the president by the Puerto Rican
bill"
Mr. Bryan warned the people against
being misled into the notion that the pres
ident could rightly depart In governing
the new dependencies from the plain pro-
visions of the constitution which he has
sworn to uphold.
