Porto Ricans Call 1t Unfair to Treat Them
Worse Than British Province.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The mem
bers Of the several delegations from
Porto Rico now in Washington, having
read the compromise measure adopted
at the Republican conference, at once
united in statement to congress in
which they averred that the idea and the
theory Of a tariff are repugnant to them
and that they are content to stand be-
fore their people and the people of the
United States OH the general broad
proposition that the island is entitled to
receive absolutely free commercial re-
latiOns at once.
They call attention to the fact that
the United States government, through
the state department., recently negoti-
ated a treaty with the island of Trini-
dad in the West Indies, which is a Brit
ish province and a direct competitor of
Porto Rico, by the terms of which
treaty Trinidad is to receive from the
United States, free Of duty, all articles
of machinery and implements and arti-
oles of husbandry and nearly all food
supplies, the free list for Trinidad in
this treaty being larger than the list of
articles now admitted free in Porto
Rico by executive order, all Of which it
is proposed to tax under the tariff bill
now pending in congress. The delega-
hons consider this unfair. &C.

B. CHICAGO, March 1.-The first steps
towards making general the strike of
machinists for recognition Of their
union and a minimum scale of wages

the international Machinists' union,;,
when a member Of the executive COM
1nittee left for Milwaukee to call out the

city has been augmented by the calling
out Of the men at the Gates Iron Works,
about 400 in all, making the total NUM-
Der Of striking machinists in this city

men claim about % or 30 are are tied

LONDON, March 1.-The war Office has
received the following dispatch from
General Butler: ...
''Heade uarters Hlandwani, Feb. 2S.-
ii, m.--Finding that the passage of
Langewicht Spruit was commanded by
strong entertainments, accommodated
for another passage of the Tugela. One
was found for me below tho cataract by
Colonel Sandbach, Royal Engineers, OH
Feb. %. We commenced making all
approach thereto, and on Feb s6, find
ing that could make the passage prac-
ticable, crossed the guns and baggage
back to the south side of the Tugela,
took up the pontoon bridge on Monday
night and relayed it at a new site which
is just below the present marked cat
aruCt.
During all this time, the troops had
been scattered, crouching under hastily
constructed small stone shelters and ex-
posed to a CALLING shell and rifle fire,
and throughout they maintained the
most excellent spirits. Tuesday, Gen
eral Barton with two battalions of the
Sixth brigade and the Dublin Fusiiers,
crept about a mile and a half down the
banks Of the river, and assembled All
almost perpendicular cliff of about 500
feet, assaulted and carried the top of
Peters hill This hill, to a certain ex-
tent, turned the enemy's left, and the
Fourth brigade under Colonel Northcott
and the Eleventh brigade, Colonel
Kitchener commanding, the whole
under command of General War
ren, assailed the enemy's, position
which was magnificently carried by the
South Lancashire regiment about sun
set We took about 60 prisoners and
scattered the enemy in all directions.
There seems to be still considerable
body of them left OH and under Bull
wana mountain. Our losses, hope,
are not large They certainly are much
less than they would have been were it
not for the admirable manner in which
tho artillery was served, especially the
guns manned by the Royal Naval force
and the Natal naval volunteers.

CHICAGO TRAFFIC BLOCKED.

Heavy Snow Storm Prevails Throughout
the Corn Belt. 70
CHICAGO, March 1.--Local traffic is
blocked in all parts Of the city by the
snow storm, and trains are delayed. The
weather bureau announces that the
snow fall is the greatest since the win
ter of 1898, averaging nearly inches in
the Middle Western states. It was
stated that the conditions give no prom
Use of immediate abatement of the
storm. :
The greatest snow fall, according to
the weather map, is in Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Southern Michigan,
Northern Indiana, Southeastern Iowa,
and Southeastern Wisconsin. Railroads
running through these states reported
trains from half an hour to five hours
late. The Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Kansas City train was reported
five hours late at Galesburg, and max
ing progress only with the aid Of snow
plows. All the roads sent out their
plows during the night. ~
In Chicago traffic was carried on with
the greatest difficulty-the streets being
blocked by great drifts of snow, A
mile Of cable cars were tied up on the
North Side line for hours and in other
portions Of the city the snow blockade
was SO effective that many people were
compelled to wade through the snow to
their places of business.
Reports received from various cities
in Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana
Indicate that the storm is general down
the Mississippi valley, although the
the snow line does not extend very fan
south Of ST. Louis Heavy ,sleet storms

Great Valor Shown in Standing Off Fifty
Thousand Picked Britishers.

prints the following statement from
General Miles:
"Cronje's surrender was expected and
it was the only possible outcome after a
force of 5000 had held out for week
against a trained force of $4,000 Cron-
je's action will strengthen the cause of
the Transvaal. You will observe that
Cronje at first had force Of 5000 and
he surrendered with 5000. What be-
came of the other 5000: The effect Of
the surrender shows the fighting valor
of this handful Of Boers-only 5000
against an army of $4,000 English
picked soldiers. The effect of Cronje's
surrender will be to strengthen rather
than to weaken the Boer power and
cause in this war;
