WAR IN THE TRANSVAAL.

London, April 24.-The British forces
Under General Rumble and General
Braoant are gradually converging on
Wepener. From the few particulars that
are published concerning General
Rundle's engagement on Saturday. how
ever, it does not seem, thai he was able
to do much more than maintain the posi-
ton from which the Beers had been
driven on the previous day.
The strong body Of achievements
winch Lord Roberts sent to assist the
rellef of Wepener and to endeavor to en-
VeIop and cut off the Beers from a re-
treat northward furnishes further evil
oence that the Beers are assembled in
much larger forces around Wepener than
mad hitherto been supposed; and, as The
Ilmes in an editorial this morning re-
marks, whatever may be the difficulties
of roads and rains, the Beers always ap-
pear to have guns. and sometimes big
one, where they want them.
A Boer dispatch, dated Thabe
NChu, April 20, says that fresh sup
ply of cannon and ammunition has
reached General De Wet at Jammere-
burg drift. 1t also asserts that one of
Colonel Dalgety's guns has been
smashed.
Apparently the British captured
Paarde kraal Sunday night. The Beers
evacuated Leeuw kop during the night,
removing the guns, and the British oc-
Cupied the kop in the morning.
Although the Beers appear to be Of
fering stout resistance to the British ad-
vance, their position is dangerous. They
can scarcely delay further their retreat
northWard, without mourning the risk Of
being cut off. Usually they have been
well informed regarding the British |
plans, and they are not likely to run |
such risk, especially as they have
partially accomplished their object in
drawing large forces from Bloemfontein
on long marches, and have delayed the
advance on Pretoria.
The war office late last evening issued
the following dispatch from Lord
Roberts, dated Bloemfontein, Monday,
April 29, $50 p. m:
Yesterday 1 dispatched the 18th d-
vision under General Pole-Carew and
two brigades of cavalry under General
French from this point to assist General
Rumble. The force reached Karriefon-
tein without much opposition.
Casualties reported: Welsh regi-
ment, private killed, Captain Frothero
wounded and seven men;
Yorkshires eight wounded; Eighth Hus-
ears, one killed, one wounded; Four
teenth Hussars, one wounded; Royal ar
tillery, two wounded; Seventh Dragons

Captain Rotten, Royal artillery, broke
An arm by fall.
General Pole-Carews mounted in
'antry seized Leeuw kop, a high hill a
ew miles north of their last nights
position. The enemy evacuated hur-
'iedly, leaving some rifles and ammuni-
ion.

GAMERS GETTING READY.
Preparing for Increased Operations
When the salmon Come.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
BLAINE, March A.-The usual spring
cannery and fishing activity is beginning.
Already the town Is putting on an air OF
ing more and more numerous as the
working clans gather for the coming
harvest.
The business men are confident OF an
unusually busy season, not only because
fishing operations are going to be more
are so high, but because so many citizens
are planning and executing building OPP
erations in and about the city. The only
drawback at present Is a lack of lum-
Der. The Alaska Packers Association
dispatched a large ocean-going schooner
from San Francisco. destined for this
port, loaded with supplies for their two
canneries here, Another will follow II in
ten days and a third ten days later. The
vessels on their return will load with
piles, each having pile carrying capac-
ity of 1000.
The Cooke Company. which lately bought
the Young y Williams cannery, together
with the Miller wharf and dock, intends
making some extensive improvements.
When Messrs Cooke and Spencer were
here last week they engaged l.. ID. Ste
phenson. who had charge of similar work
for Ainsworth & Dunn last season, to su-
perintend their building operations. Mr..
Stephenson said this morning that he had
been ordered to let the contracts for the
necessary material to build an addition
60x122 feet and 60x6S feet of additional
dock.
1t Is expected that within two weeks
the six canneries and all the smaller in
quarters here viii be actively preparing
for the annual sockeye run In that
event Blaine will in a fortnight be hum
ming away at her old summer gait.

Prof 8. A. Weltmer, the eminent scien-
fist of Nevada, Mo, who originated that
method of magnetic healing known as
Wetmerism, and which is Endorsed ly both
the press and the pulpit, has demonstrated
that disease is a crime. In n recent inter-
view he stated, "A crime Is breach,
whether a breach OF moral principles, of
law or OF nature, 1t is still n crime. Now
disease is n breach OF nature. brought on
by either an abuse OF nature or by not fol-
lowing natures edict. and whether this
breach be in commission or In omission,
nature. like the state, demands a penalty.
Now I wish to demonstrate that at the
present time the existence of disease Is n
double headed crime. first by its appear
ance. second by it's continuation. for there
is no disease, no matter how hopeless II
may seem or OF how long standing, that
cannot be cured therefore to continue in
disease is q crime not only to oneself but
10 posterity yet to come. Now we have
demonstrated by scientific researches that
disease Is a product produced by human
hanas and is unnatural. therefore IL can
again be remedied by human hands. The
reason that the method which have orig
mated has had such phenomenal success Is
because II acts In perfectly natural man
ner. without the aid of either drugs or tho
surgeons knife. by going 20 the very seat
OF the trouble and placing the constitution
in a robust condition. II cures all disease,
no matter whether chronic or acute. Take
for instance woman, who In the majority
of cases is placed upon the rack OF tor
ture simply because nose organs which
make her a woman are In an unnatural
condition Through Wetmerlsm they are
placed in that condition which nature and
God meant them to be. thereby dispelung

Commission on Forged Orders.

Special Dispatch to the Int slligencer.
COLFAX, March Ala c. Keiser, the
young man arrested Saturday at Ken
dricks Idaho, on a charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses, was given a
preliminary examination at Oakesdale
yesterday. and discharged, Keiser show
ing that he was authorized to draw on his
employers as he had done.
kelser was at once rearrested on n
warrant from spokane county charging
him with forgery. 1t is alleged that last
winter while keiser was a travelling
salesman for j. Deter e. Co., a Arm OF
spice merchant in Chicago, In a number
OF instances he sent orders for bills of
goods. signing the name of some repu-
table firm TO the order, when in reality
the firms whose names were thus signed
had not given orders for such goods and
refused to accept the goods when they
arrived. The firm claims that after send
ing in such forged orders. Keiser. who
was working on commission, would draw
on the firm for the percentage coming to
him IL the orders thus sent had been
really obtained by him
keiser denies that he Is guilty. In ex-
PLANTATION OF the matter he says that,
while working for Deter e. Co, he took
large number of orders, the goods to
be paid for at the expiration Of ninety
