LORD ROBERTS PROTEST.

Contrasts the Treatment Accorded TO
Boer and British Prisoners.
Bloemfontein, April 14.-Lord Rob-
erts, in his telegram of protest to Pres
ldent Kruger regarding the treatment
tc which the colonial officers and
troops who are now prisoners at Pre-
toria have been subjected, complains
that the Beers have treated them as
if criminals confined in Jail. He points
out that there are 80 cases of enteric
fever and dysentery in the prisoners
camp at Watervaal; that the Trans
vaal government failed to supply, on
demand of the doctor, the necessary
medicines and medical comforts; that
the prisoners were forced to bivoauc on
the open veldt; that the sick were
placed in an open shed, with an iron
roof, and that it was only wh>n the
new doctor threatened to resign that
medicines and mattresses were sup
piled.
He invites President Kruger to rem
edy this state of things, and contrasts
it with the treatment the British give
to the Boer prisoners, sick and wound
ed, who, as Lord Roberts says, ire
ceive the same treatment as our own
soldiers"
Four farmers who had taken the
oath to abstain from further co-opera-
ton with the queens enemies were
found signalling to the Beers at Karee
Sizing, and have been brought here.
To Withdraw the Transvaal Forces.
London, April 16.-The Bloemfon-
tein correspondent of the Daily News,
telegraphing. Saturday, says:
president Kruger attended a con-
ference of the Boer commandants at
on Thursday. 1t Is believed
that decision was reached to with
draw the Transvaal forces to the north
Of Vet river, preparatory to a general
retirement across the Vaal river, if
hard pressed, leaving the Free Staters
IT, their own resources"

Sent to the Citadel.

St. Henela, April 16.-Col. Schiel and
two other Boer prisoners were landed
yesterday and sent to the citadel in
consequence of an attempt to escape.
1t appears that Col. Schiel bribed
boatman to take letter to a Dutch
cruiser, but the boatman, by mistake,
took it to the British cruiser Niobe. A
large knife was found in possession of
one of the three. Col. Schiel walked
to the citadel, declining carriage
that was placed at his disposal.

ARCHBISHOP OF DUBuQUE.
The Appointment of Archbishop
keanc POsitiNely Announced

A letter reached here today from Arch
bishop kain of St. LOUIS, No, who is now
in Paris, making the definite statement
that Archbishop Keane of the Catholic
University at Washington, but now at
Brussels under ocuist's care, had been
appointed archbishop of Dubuque, Iowa, or
the 11th instant. Both prclates are life
long friends. and We're formerly class
mates at college in this jurisdiction.
1t is understood that Archbishop Keane
will probably bring the official brief ap-
pointing him to Dubuque back to this
country in person, which is something un-
usual, as such documents almost invariably
pass through the papal legation here foI
Transmission to the nominee. By reason Of
his presence recently in Rome, however, a
We'll as his prominence in official circles
there 1r the past, the indications are that
this rule will not be followed, SO far as his
present elevation is concerned.
DIR. keane's accession to the ranks of the
American metropoHtans. now fourteen in
number, will be joyfully hailed by many
friends in the United States. Although his
rank really became that of an archbishop
by Pope Leo's favor three years ago, his
title as incumbent of Damascus has
been only an honorary distinction.
