perts say that invasion of the Free State
would be wiser tactics.
But whatever Lord Roberts does will
be accepted as the best thing to do,
The Boer raid in Zululand continues to

between the Tugela river and Ladysmith
and the Boer artillery fire greatly inn
presses all who see it, the guns being
mounted in almost impossible places.
Charles Williams, the military critic
of the Morning Leader, who is UNDER
stood to have close relations with Lord
Wolseley, the commander-in- chief of the
British army, writes as follows:
The government last night refused to
say whether Lords Roberts and Kitch-
ener We're sent to the front without con-
sultation with Lord Wolseley or not. It
has already been so stated in this place
and it is again asserted. Lord wolseley
learned the news from the Monday
morning papers and the appointments
were made on the previous Saturday."
The remainder of the criticism is devo.-
ed to the governments army plans. The
writer declares: "The ministerial scheme
developed last night in both houses is in
the main colossal, costly imposture,
designated at once to hoax the country
into the idea that some satisfactory re-
form of our military system is at length
to be accompanied and to throw dust in
the eyes Of foreign nations"

GREAT BRITAIN
IS FIGHTING AN
INVISIBLE FOE

New York, Feb 13.-A dispatch to tho
Herald from London says: Mr. Julian
Ralph, in letter to the Daily Mail from
Modder river says:
British defeats at the hands of the
Beers are due to the fact that the meth.
DDS of modern warfare have been brought
to pause by the demonstrated power OF
the weapons Of to-day. The essential
qualities of the army of 20 years ago are
no longer the supreme necessities for sue
cess. The man behind the gun stands
more supreme than ever.
dig a trench and line 1t with good
shots, supported by modern artillery and
no enemy can advance in the face OF
them. They may be outflanked or starv-
ed out. while their ammunition holds out
none can oust them for they fill the whole
plain over a radius of at least four thou,
sand yards withSsuch whitening blast
of shrapnel and rifle bullets that no
troops can stand in the open before it."
Speaking of Magersfontein, he says:
''The Beers there demonstrated the fact
that, given a plain, field glasses, modern
magazine rifles and quick firing small
guns and the whole German army itself
could not dislodge the 5000 men of the
Boer republics by a frontal attack upon
those grass edged trenches. Not sc, 900
British could have beaten those $1,000
Beers. except at such a sacrifice OF liz:
as no commander would require or could
be pardoned for occasioning A frontal
attack the old military manuals declare
that the attaching force must be three
times that Of the defending force, but
to-day with the new weapons it is said
that 10 men must attack one. One of
the most formidable new conditions Of
war which we are experiencing is one
that We have never. or next to never seen
Boer in battle. I know officers who
have seen only one or two in battle and
Ave or six in another.
"Our men have thrown themselves up-
on the veldt and have fired for hours at
time at the noise or flames at the
trenches of the enemy whom they could
see.
"At Modder river there were whole bat
talions of ours that did not know at the
end of the day whether the enemy was
north or south Of the river.
"A European army fighting under
European rules is a clumsy weapon
against the Boer, who opposes US with
weapons which render one man as good
as 10 and all 10 invisible. We remember
the old saying that an army moves upon
it's belly and we araphrase it to make It
read "A modern army must fight upon
Its belly
If Germany got in a trench that could
not be turned. all the world could ad-
vance and be slaughtered. burt not all the
world could oust the Germans from that
trench"

LORD ROBERTS IS
DEPENDED UPON
BY THE PEOPLE,

New York, Feb. 1s.-The striking fea-
ture OF the war situation in London is the
boundless confidence reposed in Lord
Roberts. General Buffers report Of his

Will Let Courts Decide.

Louisville, Feb. 13.-Before Judge Cam
trill at Georgetown tomorrow the demo-
Gratis will begin a suit in equity asking an
injunction to restrain Governor Taylor
from exercising any of the functions of
the Office of governor. 1t is expected the
temporary injunction will be granted. In
case the republican executive dsregards
the action of the court the democrats will
take the case to court of appeals. which,
according to their contention, IS the court
of last resort in these proceedings. This
plan was decided upon today at a con-
ference of democratic leaders. Pending
the result of this suit and the case before
Judge Taft at Cincinnati it is expected
both sides VIII allow things to remain as
they now stand.

Porto Rican Claims.

New York, Feb. 13.-Igisias and Eduar-
do Conde, Porto Rican labor leaders. who
arrived here from that island few days
ago, have issued an appeal to this govern
ment on behalf Of the workingmen of
Porto Rico. The delegates, who have es-
tablished headquarters in this city, de-
clare that the working class of their is
land have been reduced by reason of the
war, the hurricane and the action Of this
government since the storm, to condi-
ton of extreme destitution.
They declare that unless action is taken
soon, riots will occur throughout the is-
land. as the poor are desperate from their
sufferifgs. To get justice, say these dele
gates. is almost impossible for the poor
and~laws chiefly resulting in the dis
franchsemer1t of the laborers. or the H.
100000 inhabitants 100000 are absolutely
paupers through no fault of their own
The workingmen demand a radical
change in the government Of the island.
They ask that the following ordinances Of
Governor General Davis be annulled:
"One-That the laborers on the public
works shall get more than Is cents per
day for eight hours work
"Two-That only property holders and
tax payers shall vote and those who can
read and write.
''Three-That these payments Of 81 shall
be paid before a vote is cast"
The workingmen also ask that the ordi-
nance forbidding appeals from the direc-
tors of the tribunals be abrogated. They
also want a general market for imports
and better schools

Questioned as to the Letter
Book Sent Home,
HE WAS CLARK WORK. $
But Only In Legitimate w i'd
Spent Nothing But His 0wk ney
Was CrOSS-EXamined Con-
gresham Campbell.

| Washington, Feb. 13.-When the SEN
ate committee on elections resumed its
consideration OF the Clark case today
| Neill of Helena, who was on the stand
when the committee adjourned yester-
day, was recalled.
| He was questioned closely by Edmunds
! concerning the impression letter book
from which he cut copy of his letter
to T. j. Jones of Lewiston. Neill said
; that he had cut the letter out of the book
on Saturday last and on Monday had ex-
pressed it to Helena.
Edmunds commented on the fact that
the book had been sent back on the very
day that Neill was to go on the stand as
significant.
Neill said he could intercept the book
and bring it back, but that he would NOT
agree that the entire book should un-
dergo inspection.
The witness was cross-examined by
Campbell.
did you do any work for Clark dur
ing the last senatorial campaign in
Montana?"
II did all could in my newspaper and
otherwise in a legitimate way"
'Did you spend any money in either
the legislative campaign or senatorial
contest before the legislature?"
"Yes, but it was my own
ibid you spend any except your own?'
II did not
In answer to question, Neill said
Clark had a mortgage on the Helena In
dependent for about $4,000.
Charles Ralph Jacobs of Butte testi-
fed to a conversation he said he had
with Cason, a witness for the prosecu-
tion. He had also gone to Cason's office
when the latter asked him if he wanted
to make "some easy money"
II replied said the witness, 'that
there was no one more inclined to make
easy money than myself. He then told
me that all I had to do was to go to
the Daily people and tell them a story
and get my money He said they gave
me $500 for my testimony, and you might
as well get some of it, He then said he
would go to the other side and see what
he could do
Witness also said that Cason had re-
ferred him to Campbell. He further
said that he had come voluntarily to
expose Cason, having seen his testimony
before this come in Montana papers.
He had not wanted to see Mr.. Clark
dome up" the latter being a friend of
his.

PEOPLE TRUST IN HIM
RenSberg Has Been Attacked
and British Lost Heavily--
Place Can Not be
Held.


London. Feb 13-The cessation of wa
news from South Africa is taken to IN
dicate that British preparations for
move from Modder river are progress
ing and that important events can bt
anticipated within a few days.
Interest centers almost wholly upor
Field Marshal Roberts. especially since
Buffers report of his withdrawal from
Vaal Krantz came for the first time
through Roberts, showing that all diff
ferent operations over wide field will
hereafter be more completely co-ordi-
mated.
It is now known that military at
taches have gone to join Roberts al
Modder river, another move precluding
an advance.
A dispatch from Modder river an
nounces the arrival there of 1,400 refu-
gees from Barley west district They
had been ordered away by the Beers be-
cause they refused to join the republi-
cams. The refugees reached Modder
river via Koodoosberg.
1t is learned that 200 Beers were killed
or wounded during Macdonald's recon-
noissance.
ported sortie of British troops from
Ladysmith, nor of the Boer outfanking
movement.
report comes from Durham that the
British artillery forced the Beers to
evacuate their camp on Hlangwana hill,
south Of Colenso. 1t would be an impor-
tant advantage if the British were able
to occupy this position.
The absence of General French from
the Rensberg district appears to have
given the Beers an opportunity for re-
newed activity. They have apparently
extended the attack on British lines and
are meeting with minor success, having
considerable moral effect on the border
colonists.
The BOer invasion of Zululand is caus-
ing keen anxiety apart from the fact
that it threatens Buffers supplies. It is
difficult to believe that the Zulus can
long be kept quiescent while their cattle
are commandered and the country over
run by their hereditary foes.
Friends of Cecil Rhodes are becoming
alarmed at his possible fate, and have
sent an enissary to to see DIR. Leyds a
diplomatic agent of the Beers in Europe.
IN regard to the probable course the
Beers would pursue in the event Of his
capture.
Leyds assured the Intermediates that
the Beers did not intend to kill Rhodes,
but. The added. they would certainly hold
him as hostage until indemnity for the
Jameson raid was paid.
In view of the developments since the
raid the Beers have Also dacido5 -
double the amount of indemnity de-
manded. so Rhodes friends will have to
hand over 100000 1000 before he is re-
leased.
It is also learned definitely that Jane
SON Is still at Ladysmith, in spite of all
conflicting reports.
A semi-official paragraph is published
in the Globe this afternoon, saying Ger.

The German government, 1t is added.
does not consider itself concerned in the
future status or in the existence Of the
Boer republics.
