MORE WITNESSES
HEARD REGARDING
THEIDAHO TROUBLE

Washington, March 5.-Moses S.
Simons continued his testimony before
the house committee ON military affairs
ON the Coeur d'Alene Investigation today.
He testified to circumstances Of his re-
moval from office shortly after the min
ing demonstration and his arrest and inn
prisonment in the county Jail for five
days.
A sharp controversy occurred between
Hull and Representative Lentz. who con-
Quoted the examination, as to whether
the witness should state his opinion on
the necessity for martial law.
On vote the committee sustained Hull
and excluded this line of inquiry.
The witness said he did not have a
fair trial on his removal from office.
William Powers testified that he was
night watchman and constable at Null
Ian. Idaho. at the time of the demon
stration at Wardner. He disclaimed any
knowledge Of the blowing up of mining
property. He saw two wagon loads of
mem returning from Wardner late in the
day after the explosion. The town was
entirely quiet and men went about their
work as usual. A week after the demon
stration witness was arrested by SOL
diers, but later released. He was sum-
moned to appear before the United States
industrial commission when he was again
arrested by a deputy. He demanded to
know what charge was against him.
whereupon. he said, deputy drew a
gun and an exciting affray occurred In
which the deputy lost his gun. A sol.
dier interfered and Powers was arrested
and put in the bull pen. He sent word
to the industrial commission that he was
there and was notified that the conmis-
sion would come to the "pen" and take
the testimony Of all the prisoners. But
witness said this testimony was never
taken. He said he never learned the m :
ture of the charge against him. =

Working Against the Forces
of the BOerS.
NOTHING IS GIVEN OUT
As to Roberts Plans And It Will
Be Some Time Before He
Will Be Heard From.

London March 5.-There Is now practi-
cally three British armies in the field,
one in the Free State, one in Cape Col
ony and the other in Natal. All that
is known about the first and important
is that it is in close touch with a body
of Beers estimated to number about g.
600 men.
Speculation as to the direction and
method Of Roberts advance into the
Free State is quite worthless so care
fully are the plans concealed.
In Cape Colony, Generals Brabant and
Clements command the two horns Of the
army while Gatacre holds the main Boer
force in check. Gatacre and Clements
will probably combine and advance on
Bloemfontein with Brabant guarding the
right flank with the mobile colonials
This movement will be subsequent to Sc
curing line of communication along the
lines Of the Free State railroads. which
according to latest dispatches, seems al
most accomplished.
With the exception of sorties, a serious
movement can hardly be expected from
the Natal army this week. When it
will be ready to advance it's movements
must greatly depend upon how much dis
tdHCc luc IclTcdlIu6 bOeTS put between
themselves and Butler.
AS an incident of the British main OBJ
jective which at least is clearly outlined
as Pretoria, the relief of Mafeking by a
force from the south many be expected
any day. Colonel Plumer's force on the
north is seemingly unable to accomplish
it.
The unexpected activity of the Cape
Dutch and the reported likelihood Of
fighting between them and the Basutos
aided by other tribes having grudge
against the Beers, is regarded as rather
ominious. The only other untoward
phase of the military situation that crit
les can discern is the enforced temporary
inactivity of the Natal army, an in
stance Of which is contained in Dispatch
es announcing that the flying column
which attempted to intercept the Boer
retreat only succeeded in driving the
enemy further north.

DRY TORTUGAS
IS N0TA Ma VAL
STATION ANY MORE

New York, March s, A special to the
Tribune from Washington says Naval
officials have been astounded this week to
learn that they have no rights at Dry
Tortugas, where sum Of over $500, 900
has been expended in the last year in es-
tablishing a coaling station and rendez-
vous commanding the gulf coast and the
West Indies, and where there is now
being rapidly prosecuted the establish
ment of what is regarded as the most
important strategic base between the
Chesapeake and Central America. At
Tortugas the army has erected the most
formidable fortification south of Fort
Monroe, hut the station was deemed un-
salubrious and several years ago was
turned over to the quarantine service.
When Cervera's fleet left Spain the pres
ident promptly had Fort Jefferson, on
Tortugas, garrisoned to hold as a naval
base, thereby aiding the blockade of Gu
ba. Since then the naval contractors
have been engaged in completing the
great station, which under naval disci-
pline and efficient methods had been
made as healthy as ship at sea and
besides kept in telegraphic communica-
ton with Washington.
Under the circumstances Secretary
Long was astonished the other day to
receive an official communication from
the treasury department notifying the
navy to stop work and get it's men away
from Tortugas by April l, as Surgeon
General Wyman Of the marine hospital
service was looking for good deal of
yellow fever and bubonic plague this
summer and had to use Fort Jefferson,
which cost $5,00O,OO0 as a pest house.
