BUSY TROOPS.

In the course of its campaign his troops
covered GEO miles, fought thirty-three
combats and established permanent gar
risons in twenty-one towns around this
district. 1t set out on Jan. and its task
was practically finished on Feb. s. Not
that all hostilities had ceased. On the
contrary our troops have had and still
have frequent conflicts with the re-
bellious bands that were formed from the
disintegrated military organizations, and
who emerged periodically from their hid
ing places in mountains and thickets to
pounce upon inadequately guarded wagon
trains and small parties. But concert of
action or cooperation, save on a very
limited scale, was ended on the latter
date, the control exercised by the insur-
gent leaders, except over their small i'm.
mediate following, was minimized, and
their power for mischief materially re-
duced, If not wholly broken.

Miss Barton DenOunces Action of
Chicago Expedition.
WASHINGTON. April 24-''If the re-
ports be true, these men have practicel
gross deception, broken pledge, and VIC
lated confidence which they sought.
The humane world will not, hold them
guiltless."
This was the declaration of Miss Clara
Barton respecting the reported action of
the ambulance corps from Chicago, In
casting away their Red Cross emblems
as soon as they arrived on the field Of
war in South Africa, and taking up arms
in the Boer cause.
Miss Barton called upon Secretary Of
State Hay today and explained her con-
nection with this ambulance corps. She
was accompanied by Dr.. Hubbell, who Is
familiar with all the circumstances OF tue
case 1t appears from her statement
that Miss Barton, as president Of the
American Red Cross, was waited upon
some time ago by a Mr.. Judd, of Hol-
yoke, Mass, who told of the intention of
the Irish societies of Chicago to send out
an ambulance corps to the TransVaa'. IL
was pointed out to her that the British
side of the war had received All or the
outside help, and she was asked to give the
outgoing expedition credentials and the
Red Cross flag. After consideration Mis-
Barton gave Mr. Judd a letter of gen
eral character, asking right OF Way an"
good treatment for the expedition as long
as the members lived up to the rules of
the Geneva convention. Care was taken
to include this important limitation IN the
letter. Previously Miss Barton had learned
that each Individual composing the party
had made oath separately before notary
that he was going out TO South Africa
under the Red Cross and in the amou-
lance service.

THOUSANDS OF, REBELS.
BoERs WILL NEVER YIELD.
Sensational Statements of Famous
French Engineer.

Frencn engineer
PARIS, April A.-Capt. Leon, the
French engineer, who had charge Of the
Boer artillery and engineers, who was
shot in the head during the siege Of Kim
berley arrived at Marseilles today. His
head is still bandaged, and the sight of
the left eye is lost. In the course of an
interview he described the Beers as
splendid artillersts." He said they new
er had more than from &c, 900 to 10000 men
under arms, and Of these they had lost
5000, of which 600 had been killed.
I'm my opinion" said Capt. Leon, ''un-
less the Beers win an important victory
near Bloemfontein, they must be beaten
in the end, and although Pretoria could
withstand a long siege, because it still
possesses cannon and implacements for
those temporarily withdrawn, believe
the plan of the Beers is to take refuge IN
the mountainous region to the north,
which is practically inaccessible, rather
than to defend Pretoria at the risk Of a
heavy loss of life, and the exposure Of the
population to the fire of the British.
Even when Great Britain declares the
Transvaal annexed, the Beers will never
yield, and an army of 10000 will be need
ed to occupy the country
Speaking with reference to the climate
of the country, Capt. Leon said the sea
son was now approaching when horse
sickness ceased, and the British would
not suffer much longer on this account.
The death of Gen. Villebois-M Mareuil
was, in Capt. Leon's opinion, very great
loss to the Beers Louis Botha, the new
commander-in-chief, he characterized as
a capable and daring general, upon
whom the Beers could reckon considera-
bly,
When his opinion of British generals
was asked, he said:
"They are absolutely worthless. Their
incompetence surpassed all belief. The
errors they have committed are enor-
nous, incomprehensible.

REMAINS A MYSTERY.
No Light on Attempt to Blow Up
the WelIand Canal.

WASHINGTON. April 24.-The latest re-
port from the United States consular
agent at Clifton, Ont, in the Welland ca
nal affair, goes to exonerate what is
known in Canada as "Fenians''
The affair will remain a mystery until
the three men. held in Canada on susp:c-
ION Of the crime shall throw some light
upon the matter.
If the state department was noddea
some time ago of the formation in this
country of a conspiracy to blow up the
Welland canal, such communication must
have been by word of mouth, for the de-
partment records show nothing on the
subject. There have been reports from
Mr.. Brush, United States consular agent
at Clifton, concerning the construction OF
the canal, but there has been no indica-
ton of any knowledge Of a plot to blow
up the Welland.
