TRYING TO CUT OFF RELIEF.
Beers Sti1 Holding Their Ground
Around Wepener.

Maseru, Basutoland, April 19.-The
Beers continue to move freely around We
pener, going in all directions from which
relief columns are expected.
Desultory cannon fire and sniping have
been going on all day with scarcely any
reply from Col. Dalgety's force.
The Caledon river rose considerably
during the night. This made the Beers un-
easy as they fear separation. Some rein
forcements have arrived for them, COM
ing apparently from Thaba Nchu. or that
direction.
Our casualties up to date are believed
to have been twenty-five killed and 10
wounded.
Owing to the heavy rain and clouds hello
graphing has been impossible for the last
two days
The Beers who lately surrendered in the
Wepener district have been forced again
with violence to fight. Ten of their lead
ers have been arrestd
President Steyn has issued orders TO The
Boer forces to hold tight TO the grain dis
tricts of Wepener, Ladybrand and Ficks-
burg from which they draw their food sup
plies and also to prevent the British fore as
from getting the rich supplies now In
those districts.

Ends with a Twenty-Five Year
Term in the Penitentiary.

Kansas City, April 20-C. E. Moreledge.
an actor, who last winter "held up two
restaurants and a saloon in the center of
the business district single-handed In or
der to get sufficient money to put his COM
pany on the road, was found guilty in the
Circuit Court here to-day and sentenced
to twenty-five years in the penitentiary.
He pleaded insanity.
His career, as portrayed by witnesses in
this case, showed him to be a veritable
Mulberry Sellers" He was one of the
original promoters of the Topolobampo
Cooperative Colonization scheme, and he
originated scheme to dam the Missouri
river at Bismark, N D.. and to divert the
entire flow of waters in a gigantic ditch
that would flow southwark through Ne
braska and Kansas and have lateral
bitches that would irrigate the whole OF
the western parts of those states.
'There is millions in it," read letters
written years ago by Moreledge and which
were presented in court to-day by his at
torney in an effort to prove the prisoners
insanity.
Another scheme projected by Moreledge
was to revive the "Ancient Order of Mag
big cooperative apartment house that
would cover several blocks.
James A. Finley, who was Indian agent
in Pine Ridge, S. D., in 1890, during the
uprising of the Sioux Indians there, tes-
tilted about how Moreledge made big
money there. Moreedge was there with
photographing outfit
After the battle of Wounded Knee, Gen.
Brooks issued an order that no one in
the agency should go beyond a certain
line. because the Indians were in great
numbers and very blood-thirsty. That
night Moreledge was missed and search
was made for him. The next morning he
came into camp. He had spent the night
on the battlefield of Wounded Knee, taxi
ing hashlight photographs Of the dead sol
diers and Indians and he afterward had
these pictures copyrighted and made
great deal of money selling them. Gen.
Brooks had TO Danish him from the agen-
cy because of his recklessness and disre-
gard of orders.

ROBERTS MAY HAVE STARTED.
Indications Are That He Has Begun
His Long March.

London, April 90 1;5O p m.-The report
north of Glen may be the first news of
the progress of the British advance on
Pretoria.
But even If this were only an unimport-
ant skirmish, there are many other indi-
cations that Lord Roberts is either start
ing or has already started for the north
ern goal. A dispatch from Cape Town,
under to-day's date. says;
"The censorship restrictions have been
increased owing to the movements of the
troops"
All the dispatches bear traces OF the
strenuous efforts of the correspondents TO
give their papers an inkling Of what is
afoot.
The Beers south Of Bloemfontein are re-
ported to be retreating. Large commands
were seen April 10, near Thabanchu, NOV
ing to the north. Their progress was slow,
however, owing to the terrible condition
of the country.
BY way of Pretoria comes a report that
fever is decmating the MafeSlng garrison
and a letter from the Mayor of Mafektng
says Lord Roberts asked Col. Baden-Pow
ell to hold out until May 20.
Cecil Rhodes returns to Cape Town to-
morrow. The announcement of his de-
parture was unexpected. Never has a man
so prominently connected with the vital
questions of the day paid such a quiet
visit 10 London. 1t is learned that the
so-called "empire-maker'' came to Eng
land purely on business connected with
the British Chartered South African Com
pany, and the DeBeers' Mines Company
He has accomplished his objects, and,
hating inactlon, and not wishing to meet
people or freely express his views, has
suddenly determined to return to South
Africa, where he win watch the interests
of these two companies.
Cecil Rhodes has absolutely refused to
be interview, though lately he has ex-
pressed scathing comments on several of
the generals stiii holding commands at
the front.
Lady Gatacre will be a fellow passenger
of Mr.. Rhodes. She is going as far as
Madeira to meet her husband, the British
General who has been sent back to Eng
land.

Evrything was taken from the prisoners,
who We're sent TO Pretoria.
Their native servants who escaped from
the Boer lager near Wepener, say that
there were four guns disabled and that
the Beers had lost 100 in killed alone.
1t is also ascertained that the Beers
made night attack on April II, but were
discovered while creeping along ditch,
by Cape Mounted Rifles, with Maxims,
who fired into them at a distance of 200
yards with the result that the Beers lost
five wagon loads of killed and wounded.
A simultaneous attack in other quar-
ters was repulsed by the British, who
used their bayonets.
The Beers still surround WepeneT, but
there has been little firing lately.

WAS GOV. TAYLOR INDICTED.

Believed He Was I'm Spite of State
ments to the Contrary.
Frankfort, KY, April 21--When the or
ders of the Circuit Court were ready to-
day all names announced as having been
indicted yesterday were read by the clerk.
but the name of Gov. w. S. Taylor was
not mentioned.
This disposes of the rumor that an In
dctment had been handed down against
Taylor.
The court officers refuse to state whether
or not an Indictment has been found
against Gov Taylor and suppressed for
service. 1t is not known whether bench
warrant has been issued It is reported
that Gov Taylor may arrive here to-mor-
row. There is said to have been muca
communication by wire yesterday between
here and Washington.
Friends of Gov Taylor say he is ready
20 meet any charge that may have been
brough against him. but they do not want
him incarcerated without bail, which they
say he can give in any reasonable amount
The clerk of the court insists that there
is no record on file of any Taylor indict-
ment and all the other indictments re-
turned yesterday are on file in the clerk S
Office. The circuit judge can hold an in
dictment until the bench warrant has
been served and such is believed to be
the case in this instance.
Current reports are generally credited
that the warrant even has been issued
ready for service on the return of the
Governor.
Various stories were afoat all day con-
cerning alleged sensational sscenes in the
grand jury room during the voting on the
indictment, but could not be confirmed.

ton that Colson would never live until the
November election.
Thomas b. Cromwell of Lexington told

Gov. Allen of Porto Rico VIII Sail on
the Dolphin To-day.

Washington, April 2O.-Although no re-
ing the necessity for continuing the Por-
to Rican courts as at present constituted
under the terms of the organic act, the
Porto Rican agitation on that point has
not failed TO attract the attention of the
officials here.
1t Is realized that the island might be
thrown into a state of semi-anarchy were

proposing to the House of Representatives
an amendment to the pending Senate res
olution extending the functions of the
customs officers in Porto Rico so as to in
clude the courts.
