OVATION FOR LORD ROBERTS.
BLOEMFONTEIN, March 1s.-As Lord
Roberts was being conducted 10 the
town today by the deputation of officials
winch had gone out 10 meet him he was
greeted by great crowds Of people cheer
Ing and waving handkerchiefs and dis
playing the utmost enthusiasm and cor
diality.
Lord Roberts first entered the market
square, then proceeded to the parliament
mouse and from there to the presidency,
which he entered from the front. The
garden or the late presidents pretty
house was instantly entered by the
crowd, which broke out with tremendous
energy into God Save the Queen" All
stood rigid, the civilians removing their
mats. Then the cheering was renewed.
Meanwhile Lord George Scott bent
Lady Roberts pretty Union Jack, with a
Iour-leafed shamrock embroidered in the
corner, to the halyards. and as it rose
over the presidency the crowd caught
s.ght of the grim-looking cavalry escort
before them and spontaneously roared
forth the songs, Tommy Atkins" and
Soldiers of the Queen"
GREAT FIGHT TO COME.
NEW YORK, March 15.-Montagu
white, in an interview tonight on Cham
pertain 8 warning to President Kruger
against destroying Johannesburg, said:
i recall that Moscow the holy city of
the Russian empire, was burned AS a
strategic necessity the blowing up of
Johannesburg would be justifabe Presi-
gent Kruger could not afford to leave
barracks, munitions, supplies and all else
TO the benefit of the enemy
AS for the threat to hold President
Kruger personally responsible and to try
and condemn him for an act of yandal-
Ism, that Is absurd. The civilized world
VIII stand much at times but 1 doubt II
1t Will stand that.
AS for the evacuation of Bloemfontein,
1t was never intended seriously to de-
fend it. 1t has not the natural advan-
tages for proper defense. The great
fight Will be at Pretoria"
GOOD WORDS FOR BOERs.
CAPE TOWN, March 15-Lord Me-
thuen, speaking at the town hall, Kimber-
ley today, said:
Although some Of the enemys men were
guilty of dastardly tricks, we must re-
member that their army is not organized
with the same discipline as our own. I
never wish to meet Drawer general than
CronJe, and never served in a war where
there was less vindictive feeling between

on information gathered during g

ssTwenty-four days in the Philip
pines, appointed enNoy-extFaord-
mary by Governor Lind, ut the
expense of $4,000 toa the s."so,
Judge Canty returns to lecture
upon the worthlessness OF the IS
lands to this country ani the great
mistake that the United States
government made after Dewey
sank the Spanish fleet, that it did
not order him to sail away. In
contradiction to statesmen In oil
parties, and to a large majority OF
the. masses of the people, this "a
day philosopher arrogates to him
self that what he doesn't know
about the Philippines and then
future is not worth knowing.
