LONDON, March 5,-The air Of mys-
terry which covers the movements Of tho
main british army in South Africa con,
tlnues, though what Information leaks
through indicates that the campaign is
being carried on with steady process.
There are now practically three Brit
ish armies in the field. one In the Free
State, one In Cape Colony and the other
in Natal. All that is known about the
tirst and most important is that 1t is in
CLOSE touch with a body Of Beers, es-
timated to number about 5000 men.
spcculations as to the direction and the
method Of General Roberts advance
are the plans concealed. j. In Cape Col
ony, General Brabant and Clements
command the two horns Of the army,
while General Gatacre holds the main
Boer forces in check. Generals Cat
acre and Clements will probably COM
blnu and advance on Bloemfontein with
General Brabans guarding the right
flank with the mobile cOlonials. This
movement will be subsequent to Sc
curing line ef communications along
the Hines Of the Free State railroads,
which. according, to the latest dis
patches, seems almost accomplished.
me third army, that in Natal, is COM
paratIyely inactive, and, with the ex-
ception OF sortles, a serious movement
can hardly be expected from 1t this
week. When II will be ready to advance
its movements must greatly depend up
on how much distance the retrealing

clearly outlined as Pretoria, the relief
of MafeMng by force from the south,

The unexpected activity of the Cape
Dutch and the reported likelihood Of
fighting between them and the Basutos,
aided by other tribes having a grudge
against tho Beers, is regarded as rather
ominous.

SCENES AT 1ADYsM1TH.
Splendid Courage of Women in the
Beleaguered Town.


DURBAN, Friday, March 2.-The
newspaper correspondents who have
reached here from Ladysmith say that
the enthusiasm of the garrison and In
habltants OF the besieged town was In
tense when the relieving column enter
ed. Men left the hospital and even the
women and children went forth to
greet the newcomers. 1t was notice
able, however, that the latter were the
most demonstrntive, cheering the wo-
men and children whom they were
proud to have saved.
The correspondents believe that the
garrison could have held out until
April 2. though Tations had necessarily
been reduced to the minimum. The
men Of the garrison will require rest
and the horses are much wasted.
The correspondents paid high trib-
ute to the courage and herolsm OF the
women. Never II complaint was heard
from them IN spite of their upexampled
prIvatlons. and their endurance and
courage were beyond praise.
Sad sights were often witnessed when
the sparse rntlons were being drawn.
Children would pathetically seek milk
for their sick mothers. The women
and children were estimated at 500.
Though there was much sickness arts
ing from the horse meat diet and the
absence of fRrnnnceOus food the cpl
demic period was passed safely.
DR.. Jamison Is suffering from typhoid
fever.
General Butler entered the town at
noon escorted only by his stan. His
hronzed appearance was very striking.
He said he had not entered q bed for
three weeks.
The Beers exchanged shots with tho
relieving force, which saw q few
cOrpses lying in the road. II Ia be-
lieved the Beers are retreating to

Special Dispatch TO the 1nteiitgencer.
HUNTINGTON. w. Va, March g.
AS the political situation now looks in
this section Of the state Just prior to
the gathering Of the Republican clans
for the state League meeting at Park
ersburg, on Thursday of this week. the
White forces have all the best of it.
Five counties in the Fourth district
have held their conventions. and every
one OF them. without a dissenting
voice. viii cast their vote solldly for A.
B. White In the Charleston state con-
vention.
In view Of the claims that the Freer
people have been making throughout
the state this Is terrible blow to the
followers OF the congressman. It now
looks as though White would have the
Fourth district solid with the excep-
ton OF Judge Freer's own county
RitGhie. In that county Mr., White hns
all along announced his intention OF
making no fight, not believing such q
course conducive TO party harmony. It
Is safe 70 say that Of the two hundred
and nifty votes In the Fourth district.
Mr.. White win get tvs hundred and
twenty.
One of the numerous candidates for
auditor C. w. Swisher, Of FalrmOpt,
has been very much In evidence In the
county conventions so far held. The
Impression is that this hustling young
Republican will put up strong hght
for the nomination.
CabelI county's solid and unanimous
instructions for Hughes for Congress-
would about seem to insure his nomi-
nation. Owing to the fact that the
lower end OF the Fourth district has
never yet had this nomination 1t Is
generally conceded that 1t will come to
Cabell this year.

In that church. this afternoon, said that
the plays of "sapho," THE Degener-

immortality and to destroy virtue and In

Father Tahey said that iuasmuch as
the immigration laws bar the physical
leper from the United States, they
should be framed so as to bar the ac-
tress from abroad who comes TO this
country with her immoral plays. the
effect Of which is to spread spiritual lep-
rosy. He urged his people to remain
