3pealed to the committee on privileges

THEY WELCOME DEWEY.

Bxyan nsnocrats Ready to Take the Ad.
nirnl Into Their Fold.
CHICAGO, April 16. Bryan Democrats
have decided to welcome Admiral
Dewey into the Democratic party. Such
is the position officially outlined in the
Democratic press bulletin.
''We may accept the admiral's dec
laration Of his political faith as indicat-
ing that he is with the Democratic
party at least on an overwhelming
majority Of the issues it has taken up, Z
runs the article which is from the pen
of Willis J.. Abbott, head of the Demo-
cratic literary bureau. .;s.5 s5zg
t'This is a most gratifying fact, the
article continues. s'It indicates that
should the Democratic party, after ma
ture deliberation deny to the admiral
the nomination which he seeks, it may,
nevertheless, count on his hearty CO.
operation and his influence in behalf of
It's efforts to end the evils Of Mckinley
ism by ending the reign Of Emperor
William l." i. 5
In commenting on the purport Of his
article, Mr.. Abbott said:
eve are naturally delighted at the
prospect of such distinguished acquisi-
tion to our ranks as Admiral Dewey,
but of course we expect the admiral to
play fair and accept the good old DEM
ocratic doctrine of abiding by the result
Of an honest Democratic convention %

Two columns are known to be moving

are relying upon Cape carts for trans
port and are carrying scarcely any.
forage and only sufficient food to meet
the immediate requirements Of the con-
voy, with OK transports following at q
secure distance. The Boer columns are
thus enabled to move almost as quickly
as cavalry. ~

Beers to the south Of Dewetsdorp. The
force extends from that point to Oden-3

that the report Of the committee does
not sustain the direct charge Of bribery
against him. They will expose the

he viii doubtless make speech in his

J, FATE OF AGUINALDo.


Returned Officer Says the Macabebes
Will Assassinate Him.
New YORK, April 16.-A special to
The Herald from San Francisco says:
'sI scarcely doubt the truth Of current
rnmors that Aguinaldo is concealed in
Manila. If he were I do not think the
authorities would make much effort to
catch him. To capture and imprison
the insurgent chief would be to make a
martyr of him, and the effect on the
natives would be bad. If he is let alone
the Maeabebes will assassinate him, for
they have no love for him.
This remarkable statement was made
by First Lieutenant George FL. Knox,
who has just returned from Manila,
where he was police officer of the Quipo
district. He was also assistant chief of
police of Manila under Major Ternan,
Of the Sixth artillery. Lieutenant Knox
now belongs to the Seventh infantry,
and is on his way to New Mexico, where
he has been ordered for garrison duty.

lord Roberts So Reports TO the London
War Once. 5.->
LONDON, April -'sThe forward
movement Of the Beers is checked, -
says Lord Roberts. This is taken to
mean not by fighting but by DISPOSE
tions to head off their advance and to
bar the vulnerable points in the line Of
British communication. Relief is on the
way to Wepener. The Beers in Natal
appear incapable of developing an ag-
gressive movement at Elandslaagte.
Lord Methuen is at Zwartkopfontein,
IL miles east of Bostof, and is sending
small, swift columns through the ada
cent country. Lord Chesham, COM
manding one Of these, encountered a
small commando about 10 miles south
east of Zwartkopfontein. He found
most of the farms occupied by women
and children only. y ~.
An editorial in The Daily Mail AYERS
that Mafeking is in a very bad way and
that the hope Of relief is far off as no
force is advancing from the south.

cred Reassuring.
LONDON, April 16.--2:07 p. m.-The
only development reported thus far in
the cable dispatches received here dur
ing the day from South Africa is the
heavy bombardment of the British
trenches at Warrenton, April 13, but
which resulted in no damage, the Beers,
apparently, being under the impression
that the, British meditated an attack.
The reassuring reports from Bloem-
fontein published in the morning papers
have done much to restore confidence in
London. ALL the correspondent seem
agreed that Lord Roberts knows what
he is about. Critics of the afternoon
papers eagerly speculate on the possi-
bilities Of the 5Boer commandos at
Wepener being cut off: This seems
quite possible, as the force from Bloem-
tein is advancing by way Of Dewet's
Dorp. General Chermside is nearing
the objective with the entire division by
way of Reddersburg, and General Bra
bant's force is moving from Aliwal
North by way of Rouxyille and Bush
man kop, while across the border,
strong force Of Basutos are closely
watching events. In the meanwhile,
General BUNDLES division is concentrat-
ing at Springfontein, Lord Methuen's
force is trying to get to Hoopstadt and
it is believed that General Hunters
division viii strengthen the British left
at Fourteen Streams. !.
The weakening Of General Buffers
force by the withdrawal Of the Union
and Irish brigades, now under General
Hunter, is attributed to the fact that
the general commanding in Natal has
decided that the forcing Of his troops is
and that he viii merely
