In reply to inquiries from this country
in regard to openings for Americans in
Nicaragua, Consul Donaldson, at Mana
qua, writes to the State Department that
American engineers, physicians surgeons
and dentists may find remunerative en-
ployment in that country. There are no
chances. the consul says, for our young
graduates In the Nicaraguan schools, as
the salaries are very insignificant, and the
customs SO different that Americans rarely
prove successful. There are very few ma
tive engineers, and this field affords prob
ably the best opportunity for Americans.
although dentists are very scarce and hence
in demand. Consul Donaldson adds that
the wives of officials. planters. lawyers.
doctors, and even of politicians, have each
their little shop in Nfcaraguan towns. and
that buying and selling is the favorite oc.
cupation of the natives.

GEN. ROBERTS AT BLoEMFoNrEIN.
Expected That He Will Make Unex-
pected Move on BOers.

LONDON. March 30-The reports that
Lord Roberts will remain at Bloemfontein
another month are probably intended for
Boer consumption, and the recent move
ments of troops and other indications point
to preparations being well advanced for a
forward movement. The entire silence of
the cable this morning IS regarded as sig
nificant.
The fact that the Boer kilograms an
nouncing the bombardment of Mafeking
Monday and Tuesday do not claim any sue
cess is accepted as proof that they met with
none. and hopes are entertained that it
may prove to have been the final effort to
reduce the place before raising the siege.
1t is now suggested that the apparent in
activity of the British at Warrenton is
merely designed to impress the Beers with
the notion that they are checking the Mafe-
King relief column, which, in reality, is ad-
vanclng by westward detour. Color is
lent to this view by the announcement that
a column of 5000 mounted troops, COM
manded by Col. Drummond, and accompa-
nled by three batteries, a pontoon train and
several wagons of ammunition, passed
Barkly West March 26 on an extensive
