BOERS' BOLD TACTICS.
TO INVEST LORD
ROBERTS AT BL0EMFONTEIN
Or at Least to Endeay0r TO Delay His
NOrthward Advance by Harrassing
the British Lines of Communica-
ion-The Situation Both Mystify-
Ing and Interes ing to the British
The Less of the Onvoy Gums am
All of Colonel Er adwo0d's Brg-
gage Serious Matter

London, April SIS a. NIT looks to-
day as though the Beers had conceiv-
ed the audacious plan of attempting to
invest Lord Roberts at Bloemfont-in,
or at least to endeavor TO delay ms
northward advance by harrassing the
British lines Of communication.
On his side Lord Roberts is concen-
trating his forces and preparing to take
every advantage of the bold but risky
tactics of the enc ~. He IS not likely
to strike at any of their forces until
he is certain CT delivering a crushing
blow.
The situation in the absence of any
official dispatch from Lord Roberts is
both mystifying and interesting. There
is little doubt that Lord Roberts is
hampered by the necessity for re-
mounts and transport and the loss Of
the convoy guns and all of Colonel
Broadwood's baggage was a serious
matter. The Beers are now trusting to
what they believe to be their superior
mobility.
The special correspondents at the
front are now denOuncing Lord Ro
berts' policy of leniency toward the
Free Staters, and are calling for an
abandonment of that policy.
A special dispatch announces that
Mafeking was still besieged, but safe
on March 9th.
Berlin, April 4.-The Schlesische
Zeitung reports that Herr MaIcomess,
German Consul in East London, Cape
Town, has been grossly insulted by a
mob which burned him in effigy.
The Berlinger Tageblatt, which re-
produces the announcement, says: IF
this news should prove to be true, it
will be interesting to watch the Ger
man Foreign Office take action
London, April 5.-The Daily Mail has

Sunday morning and is now encamped

London, April 5.--A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Mafeking, dated
March 25th, by runner to Gaberones,
says:

news of the dispatch of a column by
way of Vryburg, to relieve US. The
messenger reported that he had en-

"A GIGANTIC HOAX.

New York, March 31.-Representa-
tives of Southern coal companies in
this city to-day said they regarded the
contents of the New Orleans dispatch
announcing the sale of 100000 tons OF
Alabama coal to an English syndicate
at Is cents a ton a the mouth of the
coal pits, with so cents allowance for
transportation to New Orleans, maxi
ing the low price of SIS a ton, as high
ly improbab ble if not a gigantic hoax.
J. c. Maben, of the Sloss-Sheffield
Coal and Iron Company, of Alabama,
said: THE local demand for coal in
the South, particularly in Alabama, is
too great to spare any for foreign ship
ment Coal cannot be bought for rs
cents anywhere in those mining re-
gions. The miners are selling all they
can dig for s1.20 to $1.25 a ton. The
freight rates to New Orleans were
never lower than $1.25, and I dare say
they are as high as $1.75 at the present
time The story is preposterOus on it's

A GREAT DEMAND FOR COAL.

New Orleans, March 31.-An inter-
esting feature of the great increase in
the local demand for coal has been
change in the usual cOaling practice of
European steamers. Heretofore they
have been accustomed almost without
exception to load enough coal at tie
European end to last for the trip to
this port and back again. They are now
reversing the process and are -coaling
here for both ways, greatly to the ad-
vantage of the home trade. The reason
for the change is the remarkable in
crease in price on the other side, due
to the South African war.

A CELEBRATED CASE SETTLED

Alton, Ill. March 31.-The jury in the
case of Scott Bibbe VS.. the Mayor and
Cfty Council Of Alton, known as the
colored school case. brought a verdict
to-day for the city. The case is a cele-
brated one and involves the question
of separate schools for white and COL
ored children. Bibbe. who represented
the colored people Of Alton, charged
that the colored children were excluded
from the public schools. This is the
third time the case has been tried in
the Circuit Court. An appeal Will be
taken to the Supreme Court.
