Ponce, Porto Rico, March 24.-The
situation here is more serious than at
any other time since the terrible hurri-
cane. In many places the poor are
starving The price of rice, beans and
cod fish have increased from so to 100
per cent. Demonstrations against the
delay of the Unit l States government
in settling ii tariff question have re-
emily bene held at Mayaguez, Yuace,
Arecibo, Aguadilla, Fajardo, Juana-
diaz, Guayama and many other towns.
The people are unable to understand
the delay, and they condemn all Amer
leans Unfortunately Bad feeling is
arising which it will take years to
overcome. Trouble from riots is al
most inevitable unless the tension is
relieved Even wealthy land owners
cannot command ready cash, and many
penniless Americans are glad to work
for their board.

London, March 28.-The beers are
having little good luck and are
showing some boldness again as a
raiding party, estimated at 400, are be-
lieved by British forces at Warren
ton to have crossed the Kimberley
Bloemfontein road Monday and head
ed for Jacobsdal, with the intention OF
cutting the railway ten miles west.
Commandment Olivier appears to have
gotten 5000 men and rs miles OF
wagons into the rugged country, where
he can make an easy rear guard Of de-
tense. Sir Chas. Williams, military
expert, says: IF this column gets
through substantially Commandant
Olivier will have carried out a great
feat of war, seeing that he ran every
chance OF being ground between the
upper milestone Of Roberts army and
the neither milestone of the broken
BasutO frontier" He will have done
it within so miles or so Of Roberts
main strength. Certainly it looked
for a week as though Rob-
erts held Olivier in the
hollow of his hand If Olivier gets
through to Kroonstad with even 5000
men it will be an important addition
to the boer gathering there. His
escape is attributable in part to the
wornout condition of the British cayal-
ry horses. Gen. Roberts transport ap-
pears to have been badly dislocated by
a loss at Reit river before Cronje's
surrender of wagon train. Ten
thousand transports of cavalry, guns
and animals, are due to arrive at Cape
ports the next week. 1t is given out
at .Capetown that Roberts advance
may be delayed. 1t seems positive
that he intends to go to Capetown to
meet Lady Roberts who is due to ar
rive there in ten days The war office
has issued another table of losses
showing the aggregate to be 1852,
which does not include 1904 who have
lnvalided at home.

Wilkinson's Views.

London, March 28.-Spencer Wilkin-
son says: There is nothing to indi-
cate an early move of the main forces.
When it comes it will be unexpected,
for Roberts is not in the habit of an
nouncing movements in advance.
Latest kilograms give grounds for a
hopeful view as to Mafeking, and sug-
gest the likelihood that Commandant
Oliviers force will make good it's re-

Maseru is that the beers at Lady
brand were covering the retirement Of
their convoy toward Seneka, 60 miles
north. If the convoy has escaped the
commanders can scarcely be prevented
from retreating.''

PHANTOM YACHT.

For weeks a phantom sIoop-yacht-a modern built Flying Dutchman-has rnystified the people of Rogers park and struck terror to the hearts of the superstitous sailors. The slOOp was generally seen at sunset. II sailed up and down the lake. generally at a dis t2nce of five or six miles from the shore. It apparently paid no attention to the wind or to a course, and it's big mainsail Tapped and jibed until the Rogers park yachtmen were ready to take oath that the crew were drunk or crazy The rays of the setting sun made the canvas look like beaten gold, and sometimes they seemed transpar- ent: altogether. there was something uncanny. unnatural. and even super- natural. about the craft Several times the life-saving crew put out to board the craft and solve the mystery. but each time the phantom sloop faded away in the dusk and eluded pursuit.
 The boat seemed to nave an affinity for big steamers going to and coming from the north. and night after night il was directly in the course of the Milwaukee-Chicago craft. It would apparently lie to until a steamer. mak- 
 a few yards of it. Then. just as the lookout was about to shout warning the mysterious craft would slip out of the way and vanish. The crews of the steamers never saw anyone on the deck of the sloop. but they thought it fully manned and well handled.
 The mysterious sloop never appeared in broad daylight until yesterday, when a -rAr G park It was no phantom at all. The yacht is fitted up eXpensIvely and tastefully. No name is on the stern and there is nothing in the cabin to in dicate the owners name. The sIoCp is painted white and it's canvas is of good quality and well fitted. Several s5a stories of Robert Louis Stevenson and w Clark Russell were found in the cabin.
 On table in the cabin is a bottle half filled with sherry. and around it were four empty glasses. A shawl and a pair of pajamas were In one of the berths. and on the floor was a woman's slipper, small and dainty enough for modern Cinderella. Several eases Of canned goods were found.
 Lieutenant Tierney was busy all day yesterday making his investigations No vessel of this description is known tO be missing.
 Moreover. craft of that size are not allowed to sail the lakes without hay ing their names plainly painted on the hulls.
 Thz police have heard If many Chi vaEoans disappearing at the lake shore ;hIs summer. but none of the missing persons is known to nave owned a yacht or to have known man who owned one. Appearances indicate that four persons were on the craft. and the simultaneous disappearance of fCrr ersons has not been reported to the police of any of the large cities.
 Lieutenant Tierney C-mmunicated with Chief of Police Ripley yesterday, and the detectives of this and other cities on the lake are now trying to solve the mystery.-Chicag Inter ocean.

EDIsoN's NEWEST WONDER.
Machine for the Generation of Electri city Without Engine and Dynamos.

Machine for the Generation of Electri-
 city Without Engine and DynamOs.
 The e's trical world today is marvel ing at what is believed to be Thomas 4. Ediso@'s greatest invention, na~-e.y, a machin for the gener@ t A of elec ri city witho-t cr~,1e and dynamos.
 This machine. il uccessfui-generat- ing an electric current as simply as steam is generated in a boiler-wiI in all probability revolutionize ali known methods of propulsion. This latest and greatest machine of the famous wizard is the result of experiments extending over a period of years and realizes his ambitions voiced prophetically six years ago.
 IL is a contrivance to generate cleo trical power directly from coal.
 If MT. Edisons expectations are borne out the passing of the steam en- zine is now in sight.
 The details of the new electrical Won- der have not yet been announced, but, it is said, they are ready to be made public in a few days.
 In view of this that the invention is to do away entirely with storage bat teries. dynamOs, etc, the details are being eagerly awaited by all electri- cians-from the engineer who plans and builds great electrical power houses down to the humble conductor of an electrical automobile.
 The new plan. it is asserted, will not only revolutionize travel, both on land ard sea-supplanting the throbbing triple expansion engines of the liner with a small oil stove and the monster boiler of the ponderous locomotive, with a light cylinder-but also revolu- tionize the use of electricity in homes and offices.
 The new machine is small, simple and inexpensive. It can be operated anywhere and under all conditions; in an automobile or an ocean liner; in a | barn or power house.
 September 15 is the date when the details of the new invention are to he made public-New fork Journal.
