Harassing Burghers.

LONDON, March 80. a. m.-The
Beers are concentrating in force about
fifteen miles north OF Bloemfonteln. in
the rear OF Glen and Lord Roberts IS
sending forward troops to engage them.
The Seventh infantry division and part
OF General French's cavalry have been
sent up to join the Twelfth brigade and
the two cavalry regiments that are
holding Glen and its environs.
1t does not seem probable that the
Beers will give serious battle in the
fairly open country north of Glen. still,
their evident strength indicates more
than a corps Of observation.
In small affairs the Beers are dar-
ingly aggressive in all parts Of the field
Of war. The johannesburg mounted
police, esteemed by the Beers to be
their best commando, are raidlng the
country near Bloemfontein, harassing
the farmers who have given up their
arms to :he British and carrying of
cattle.
There is a Boer report from Natal
that Russian soldier of fortune, Col.
Ganotzki. with hundred horsemen. is
operating close to the British outposts
on the western border.
The Beers have reoccupIed Campbell
and are in strength near Taungs and
Barldy West.
They shelled the British camp at
warrenton Wednesday. but moved out
Of range shat night. Yesterday CThurs-
day. two Rrltlsh guns enhladed the
Boer trenches, Quietlng their Mausers.
Lord Methuen and the forces that had
been operating in the Barkly district
have been recalled to Kimberley by
Lord Roberts. No explanation has been
given for this. hut the mounted troops
are dissatisfied at having been ordered
back.
The Beers and dlsloyallsts at Ken
hardt have been dispersed and caused
to retreat General Parsons is about
to enter the town unopposed. I
Lord Roberts is making extensive ar

occupied.
Dispatches from Mazeru assert that
the Beers who returned to Ladysrand
from CloclGn have taken up strong POSI-
aons and sent picltets far in every d.
rection to watch Basutoland, in the ex-
pectation that part of General Buffers
army will invade the Free State on that
side.
According to Pretoria advIces, Mafe-
king was bombarded for seven hours on
Tuesday
1t is reported In London in a well in
formed quarter. that Lord Kitchener

Sir William Lockhart. as soon as de-
cisive successes have been obtained in
the Transvaal and that General Sir
Archibald Hunter will succeed him as

Cuba Until After Election Is the Or
der Of Secretary Root.

WASHINGTON. D. C., March o.
Secretary Root said to-day that he had
not changed his mind as to the possi-
bility of safety reducing the number of
American soldiers in Cube. But the
postponement OF the Cuban elections
for at least a month beyond the date
originally fixed had made 1t advisable
to delay correspondfngiy the dEmEnu-
tlon of the garrisons so that it might be
well into the summer before the con-
templated reductions could be made.
The existence OF n quarantine in F1orI-
dn at that time would not prevent the
movement Of troops northward as
they could be landed without much de-
lay at almost any point north of the
CarolInas.

Longer to Decide Whether to Be
come Subjects of America
WASHINGTON. D. c.. March 20
Secretary Hay and the Duke dArcos,
the Spanish minister. to-day signed a
protocol extending for six months the
period of time allowed Spanish resi-
dents in the Philippine islands to elect
whether they shall remain Spanish
subjects or surrender their allegiance
and adopt the nationality OF the terri
tory in which they reside. The article
In the Paris treaty bearing on this sub
feet, allowed the Spanish residents one
year from the date of the exchange Of
ratlhcatlons Of the treaty. within
which to make their choice. That per-
iOd expires on the 18th OF next month.
The extension arrived for does not
apply to Cuba or Puerto Rico. It is
confined in operation to the Philippines
for the reason that conditions in the
archipelago have been so unEettled rs
to warrant the Spanish residents in
hesitating to make an election in this
important matter. Many important
towns in Lnzon. where Spanish sub
jects reside, are as yet without Ameri-
can garrlsons and the assertion Of
American sovereignty over them has
been rather technical than practical.
while on many of the Philippine islands
no American troops or representatives
OF the American government have ever
landed. These considerations are deem-
cd sufficient 10 warrant the extension
to the Spanish residents of more time
in which to make up their mind as to
their future. 1t may be. too. that the
spanish residents iP these islands de-
sire to avoid making choice until
there has been some authoritative and
final determination in the United States
