weak to be effective and was obliged to fall

The operations have been hampered by bad
weather, thunderstorms and deluges of rain
accompanied by intense cold. Lieutenant Mac
laren and three Highlanders have died from
exposure, as well as many horses and cattle.
dispatch to The Daily Telegraph from
LOurenco Marques says that President KRUGER
is at Watervalonder. He adds that big
fight is expected and that, If the Beers are
beaten, President KRUGER will trek through

Manila July % edited by the Censor) The
two days fiesta in Manila. organized by Senor
Paterno and his political followers to COM
memorate the amnesty, resulted in a hasco. The
people were passive, unenthusiastc and not even
interested.
Failing to perceive any tangible results Of am
nesty, they say they can see no reasons for
celebrating 1t.
Judge Taft and his colleagues of the Com
mission felt constrained to decline to attend the
dinner as they had been informed that the
speeches would favor independence under
American protection, and they could not pas
sivey give their acquiescence by being present
Senor Palermo. foreseeing the suspension Of
the dinner without the Americans begged them
to attend promising that there should be no
speeches.
The provosts precautions were extreme The
guards were doubled both days and the author
tiles forbade the display Of Filipino flags and OF
pictures of President Mckinley and Aguinaldo
framed together
The fiesta is generally considered to have been
premature and unfortunate
In last weeks scouting ten Americans were
killed and fourteen wounded. One hundred and
eighty Filipinos were killed and sixty taken
prisoners. Forty insurgent rifles were captured.

campaign is making progress, and there is a
promise of important results this week He has
himself remained at Pretoria. which is the nat
ural centre, whereas he would have been in a
corner if he had gone into the Lydenburg dis
trict, just as Sir Redvers Butler was when he
went to Natal
General French is officially reported to have
occupied Middleburg, with the Guards brigade
close behind He will probably follow General
Botha to Machadodorp, and then be in position
for operating directly against Lydenburg
There is also another theory of the campaign
which is bolder in design. 1t is thought possible
that General French will push on to Komati-
poort without marching into the mountainous
district of Lydenburg, and that, after leaving a
garrison there to prevent the further importa-
ton of provisions and military supplies he will
return to Machadodorp and be Joined by Sir
Redvers Butler in the clearance of Mr. Kriiser's
last stronghold. General Buffers lines of COM
munication have been attacked unsuccessfully
but otherwise there are no signs of activity in
his field of operations
Some important work northward may be ex-
pected when he is relieved from the necessity of
watching for commanders retreating from the
Orange River Colony.
There persistent rumors that Mr. Stevn
and General De Wet are surrounded on the
Naal River, and that Generals Rumble and
Hunter have captured a considerable force of
Beers north of Ficksburg, but there is no an
thentic information. Lord Roberts is overcon1-
ing guerilla warfare slowly but surely but the
extent of territory is SO great that a setback
may be expected here and there. L NF.
