Officials Say 1t WIN Not Cause a Change
in the Present Policy.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The officials
OF the war department claim that Judge
Lochren' S recent decision relative to the
Constitution and Porto Rico will not
require any change of policy on their
part. Had Judge Lochren released
Ortiz, whose case brought forth the
judges opinion respecting the extension
of the Constitution to Porto Rico, the
authorities undoubtedly would have
taken immediate steps to appeal the
case to superior tribunal But as it Is,
the judges statements relative to Porto
Rico are regarded by them as mere
obiter dictum, aud consequently not

Alluding to the deputation now OF a
mission to Europe and the United
States and the presence of SO many at
taches, proving the intense interest Of
the powers in the republics and to their
methods of fighting, he said he was
pleased to see that the sympathy Of the
world was on their side in the war; that
ambulances had been sent and that
their friends We're united in endeavor-
ing to alleviate the distress caused by
the struggle.

WlNBURG AND SMAIDEEL.
Iheir Capture Was Part of "a Great Gen
erai Movement.


sMALDEEL, Sunday, May 6.-The
movement that eliminated in the cap
ture of Winburg and Smaldeel, was a
part of the general movement extending
from General Hunter on the west to
General Rumble on the east. Lord
Roberts admirable strategy resulted in
placing everywhere five British to one
Boer. Out Of what appeared the mex
tricable confusion of divisions and
brigades order was quickly evolved and
the Boers are compelled to meet Lord
Roberts under unfavorable conditions.
What is more important is that the
British are now able to wait. Their
front and strong positions are safe III
the knowledge that their fanking col.
umns will advance and outflank the
Beers.
Yesterday the Beers held really
strong position, from which early in the
campaign they could have been forced
only by hard fighting. General Hamil-
toms arrival at Winburg, although in.
directly outflanking the Beers, made
their position extremely uncomfortable.
General Hutton S movement on the left
was even more successful than at first
imagined. Forty Beers were killed.
Lord Roberts has been very strict in
his examination of the farms, with the
result OF disclosing the fact that nearly
every house is a miniature arsenal,
Mausers, Martins and abundant am.
munition being found. If these had
not been discovered the army would be
leaving in its rear the material in arms
and men for dangerous move by the
inhabitants.

The Beers Are Said to BE Retrcatine, Hui
Their Immediate Destination Is

LONDON, May 9.-l'he following Gi
patch from Lord Roberts has been !.
ceived at the war office:
"Smaldeel, May THE railway from
Bradfort to this place has been repaire,
today but the bridge over the Vet river
has been hopelessly damaged. This de.
lays supplies coming up. Every few
yards charges Of rackarock have been
laid under the rails. This might have
created loss of life, but was fortunately
discovered by West Australian in
fantryman.
"Winburg has been occupied by the
Highland brigade"
In spite of these wrecked railroads
the British advance goes on steadily.
Lord Roberts outposts are apparently
about IL miles north of Smaldeel. Cen
eral Brabant has joined General Rundle
at Thaba N'Chu, where they are NOV
ing forward. The country is all quiet
in that direction. A reconnaissance

but their immediate destination is not
known.
The whereabouts of the British cav
airy under General French is still
mystery while General Kelly -Kenny's
and General Chermside's divisions are
also unaccounted for.
A dispatch from Cape Town says:
Lord Roberts phenomenal advance
is not only utterly demoralizing the

rebel colonists.
"The relief of Mafeking is expected at

slightly opt mis- ic as regards Mafeking

an honest man, which all goes to
show why w. E. Brown should
