Generals Regulations Protected by
Publishing Their Reports.
London, May AIN the House of Lords
today the Earl of Portsmouth, Liberal
I'm onist, called attention to the publica-
ton of Spionkop dispatches, which he
said, had aroused depth and strength of
feeling difficult to eXaggerate.
The secretary of state for war, the
Marquis of Lansdowne, in defending the
publication of the dispatches, said it was
the only course open to the government.
Proceeding, he quoted the Queens regu-
lations relating to the publication of such
documents and points out three cases in
the Afghan war in which censorious dis
patches were published, adding that in
those cases other employment was found
for the generals.
Regarding Spionkop, the secretary
claimed the government might have pub
lished nothing but the fact that the bat
tie cost 1900 casualties, and if the pa
pers had been withheld the regulations
Of the generals would have been dam

st. Joseph, Mich, May. 5.-Reports re-
ceived here to the effect that strawber-
ries in the lowlands in the southern sec
ton of the county were killed by the
frost have been confirmed
Favored by the warm weather of the
last ten days, many of the leading early
varieties of Strawberries, about one
tenth of the total crop, were in full bios
som, and with an ice-making frost all
the buds were killed.
Growers on the lowlands say that if
their district escapes the frost during the
rest of the dangerous month of May, the
district will produce the largest crop of
berries in its history

st. Paul, Mimi, May 4.-Judge Loeb
rem, in the United States circuit court,
remanded Rafael Ortiz, the Porto Rican,
back to Saltwater prison. In denying
Ortiz's plea for liberty Judge Lochren

that by the cession of Porto Rico that
island became an integral part of the
United States, and that The federal CON

heavier consumption of creamery and dairy

The last time Chicago had representa-

it had team in the Western association,
which is now the American league. Her
man Long started that season playing
left field for it, was brought into the

A singular coincidence is that in 1858

Browns Now LOTUS is in charge Of
the league team at Chicago, while Comis-
key manages the Windy City's American

"A great many reasons have been Civ

name to the American league last fall,
but none of these has hit the nail on the
head" says Ed. Grillo of Cincinnati. II
happened to learn, from good authority,
why this change was made and it shows
again that the American league mag
mates are wideawake lot. For the past
four years the Western league made an
effort to have the Associated press car

however. refused to do this, giving as
reason that the Western league was a

got their heads together and resolved to
change the name of Western to Ameri-

were knocked from under their own ar
gument, as the name no longer implies
that the organization is sectional one
The fact that the Associated press car

much higher standing than it formerly
had. Its games attract as much atten-
