To Help a Friend.

Mr.. Wright's son-in-law and partner,
Fred Morgan, was at his side at death.
Mr.. Morgan held that his father-in-law
was on an errand to help a friend who
had become entangled with the woman
when he received his death wound.
Although he admits he can offer no
evidence, Chief Of Detectives CoIleran
strongly believes that the weapon was
not in the hands of Wright when il
was discharged. A careful examination
Of the position of the wound he says,
will show that it would be impossible
for Wright to have held the weapon
in his hand. Captain COlleran says also
that Mrs. Lottridge said she could not
remember whether the weapon was in
her hand or in Wright's. He also cites
the fact that Wright's beard is not
singed, as it would have been if the
weapon had been discharged close to
his head; his face is not marked with
powder In fact, Captain Colleran says
there is nothing to show that he held
the revolver very close to his face.

The WILD BASUTOS
Three Thousand of Them Have Been Stationed to
Resist BOer Entertainments.
Dagety'S Position at Wepener Though Strong, is Sur
rounded and Beers Are Between Natives and British.

Maseru, Basutoland, Saturday, April
14.-Sir Godfrey Lagden, British resi-
dent commissioner, returned here yes
terday friday from the scene of
operations near Wepener. He and the
paramount chief have stationed 5000
armed natives to resist possible BOer
entertainments. The orders of the resi-
dent commissioner are that the Basutos
are not TO be allowed to cross the Free
State frontier on any pretense what
ever. Two natives who crossed and
looted an abandoned Boer farm are now
in custody.
Colonel Dalgety's position is strong
and we'll chosen. but he is completely
surrounded.
The Beers have their backs against
Basutoland, and if they stay much
longer they will be hemmed in. The
British operations are keenly watched
from the neighbOring heights. Shelling
and sniping have been going on stead
lily during the last six days
Colonel Dalgety's guns are admirably
served, and there is no waste of am
munition. The Beers, when they see
the electric flash of the cOrdite, bolt
into their holes or behind walls So
near are the Beers and the Basuto
guards that they converse. The ambu-
lances are close to the border, but the
killed and wounded are not removed
until nightfall, in order to conceal the
number of casualties. The Beers are
fatigued, and their horses are tired and
footSore.
The Beers attacked fiercely the Brit
ish northern position on Monday, April
8, but they were beaten back at day.
break. Nothing is known here Of the
casualties on either side. 1t is reported
that there are 1000 Beers at Wepener.

Sir Godfrey Lagoon, resident COM

Rockville.
The Northern Post asserts that the
Rockville district furnished 1000 re-
cruits to the BOer force as a result Of
the invasion last week.
Five hundred Beers, under Com
mandant Swanepoel, forced the royal
Irish rifles to evacuate Rockville. The
former landrost, who had been acting
for the British, offered to go TO the
front TO prove himself a true Free
Slater, and almost to a man the Free
Staters who had taken the oath rejOin-
ed the Beers. Nearly every one pro-
duced a Mauser. LOoting. however,
was reDressed.
Fourteen British sympathizers have
been imprisoned. The Beers admit hav-
ing shot Mr.. Quincy, the hotel-keeper,
for taking forage to the British. The
paymaster, with 31,400, was captured.

DIsLIKEs HIeH-BoRN LADIES.
Sir Alfred Miner Wants Them to Re
main at Home.

London, April 15.-Joseph Chamber
lain, secretary of state for the colonies.
has received the following dispatch
from Sir Alfred Miner. British high
commissioner in South Africa:
THE number of visitors to South
Africa is constantly increasing, and in
cludes many, especially ladies. who
seem to have no particular call Of duty
or business.
I am sure this would not be the case
if it were realized at home that visit
ors, who, in ordinary times, would be
most welcome, may, under existing con-
ditionS, become a serious source of in
convenience, interfering with the work
of the military and civil officers and
putting a strain on our limited means
of accommodation which are urgently
required for those who have duties TO
perform here, or who are inYalided at
the front.
a considerable increase in the ex-
pense of living-at all times very high
is caused by this excessive influx of
visitors, and this is a hardship to per-
sons of the latter class"
After saying that there is no place
less suitable for recreation than South
Africa at present, Sir Alfred Miner
concludes as follows:
Lord Roberts, to whom I have sub
mitted this message, authorizes me to
add that he fully concurs in the views
expressed

PASSION PLAY IS FORBIDDEN
PRIEST DRIVEN OUT BECAUSE
OF IT IN ONE Town.
Play Was the Custom of Centuries
and Action of Church Authorities
Is Resented by People

City of Mexico, April 15.-The new
order Of the Archbishop of Mexico re-
garding the passion play, customary
on Good Friday. was observed in the
valley of Mexico although the masses
resented the prohibition of the specta-
Gle, which has been a feature of holy
week for centuries, originating with the
clergy when they were christianizing
the indians. But at Yautopre. in the
state of Moreles. the people assembled
at the parish priests home, demanding
that he distribute the usual costumes
for the passion play. This he refused
to do. 1t is reported that he was driv-
en- out of town, the people declaring
they would not stand such a priest and
must be allowed their ancient customs.
The increase in the export of lead
and silver ores is noted and reports
form the leading mining towns show
much animation.
Excellent prospects for the sugar re-
timing and grinding season in the state
of MoreleS are reported. The project
for combining all the sugar estates in
Moreles into a grand trust as planned
by American and English spectators.

LORD ROBERTS PROTESTS.
Asks Kruger to Take Better Care of
British Prisoners.

Bloemfontein, Saturday, April IA
Roberts, in his telegram of protest to
President Kruger regarding the treat
nent to 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 ninety
cases of enteric fever and dzsentery
in the prisoners camp at Waterfall:
that the Transvaal government failed
TO supply, on demand of the doctor, the
necessary medicines and medical com
forts; that the prisoners were forced
10 bivouac on the open veldt; that the
sick were placed in an open shed with
an iron roof, and that it was only when
the new doctor threatened TO resign
that medicines and mattresses were
supplied. He invites President Kruger
to remedy this state of things, and con-
trasts it with the treatment the British
gives the Boer prisoners, sick and
wounded, who. Lord Roberts says, ''re-
ceive the same treatment as our own
soldiers
Four farmers who had taken the oath
to abstain from further cooperating
with the queens enemies, were found
signaling to the Beers at Karoo Sid
ing, and have been brought here.

WAR OFFICE SAYS NOTHING.
Has No Information About Events
in the War.

London. April Is. 4:55 a. m.-The war
Office had nothing TO communicate TO the
public yesterday. It was taken for grant
ed that the rumOr Of General Brabant's
victory at Wepener is premature. With
the remainder of his force he left Aliwal-
north on Saturday for ROuXviIIe, and
there has scarcely been time for an en-
gasement.
There is practically no fresh news this
morning. All the BlOemfOntein Dispatch
eS, however. breathe a confident tone.
There seems to be a heavy demand on
the railway, for so large an army leaves
the pOpulace bare Of everything save the
absolute necessities Of life
The fact that the censOrs allowed Win

The strikers are very determined in

his countrymen. who voiced the same

determination. The strikers are all well
armed with guns and pistols, and in
this regard they have a decided adj

The strikers and the deputies mingled

there was no show of trouble.
Father Owens counseled the strikers
