HAVANA, March 1.-The readiness
with which the Spanish laws lend them
selves to delay in litigation has availed,
despite every effort on the part Of the
American authorities, to postpone the
trial Of the customhouse fraud cases. It
is now openly asserted by friends Of the
accused that at least four months must
elapse before the prosecution can bring
the cases to hearing in court. Influ.

ence is being used to effect if not dis
missal at least postponement Of judi

Butler Reports tho Capture of Pietors Hill
After Hard Fighting.
LONDON, March 1.-The war Office has
received the following dispatch from
General Butler:
Headquarters, Hlandwana, Feb.
that the passage Of
Langewicht Spruit was commanded by
strong entrenchments, reconnoitered
for another passage Of the Tugela. One
was found for me below the cataract by
Colonel Sandbach, Royal Engineers, ON
Feb. IS. We commenced making an
approach thereto, and on Feb. 28, fnd-
ing that I could make the passage prac-
ticable, I crossed the guns and baggage
back to the south side of the Tugela,
took up the pontoon bridge on Monday
night and relayed 1t at q new site which
is just below the present marked cat.
aract.
During all this time, the troops had
been scattered, crouching under hastily
constructed small stone shelters and ex.
posed to . CALLING shell and rifle fire,
and throughout they maintained the
most excellent spirits. Tuesday, Cen
eral Barton with two battaions Of the
Sixth brigade and the Dublin Fusiliers,
crept about mile and half down the
banks Of the river, and assembled an
almost perpendicular cliff of about 500
feet, assaulted and carried the top Of
Pieters hill. This hill, to certain ex-
tent, turned the enemy's left, and the
Fourth brigade under Colonel Northcott
and the Eleventh brigade, Colonel
Kitchener commanding, the whole
under command Of General War
ren, assailed the enemy's, position
which was magnificently carried by the
South Lancashire regiment about sun
set. We took about 80 prisoners and
scattered the enemy in all directions.
There seems to be still a considerable
body of them left on and under Bull
wana mountain. Our losses, hope,
are not large. They certainly are much
less than they would have been were it
not for the admirable manner in which
the artillery was served, especially the
guns manned by the Royal Naval force
and the Natal naval volunteers.

hopes o. securing a contract of a
Portland firm whereby he will fur
nish them with Ioo, 900 feet of
alder lumber. The Portland people
will use the lumber for the manu-
facture of fine furniture. This is
quite large contract for lumber of
this kind and it is thought that on

in Oregon to secure so Jorge all
order. Mr.. Hodges resides about
ten miles up the stream from Elk

place. Should he receive the con-
tract the lumber will berafted down
