LONDON, May 3.-The War Office has
received the following dispatch from
Lord Roberts, under date of Bloemfon-
tein. May 2:
Gen. Hamilton met with considerable
success and drove the enemy out OF the
strong position they had taken up at
Houtnek with comparatively small loss
10 us. The Beers dispersed in several di-
rections, mainly to the east and south,
leaving many prisoners in our hands, in
cluding one Commandant and sixteen
other wounded men. Gen. Hamilton is
now in camp at Jacobsrust AS the men
needed rest after fighting seven out OF
the last ten days, / ordered them to halt
for the day. Gen. Broadwood's brigade
OF cavalry arrived upon the scene in
time to afford valuable assistance by
threatening the enemy's rear.
During the afternoon Gen Ian Ham
ilton was Joined by Gen. Bruce Hamil-
tons brigade of infantry
The enemy admit having twelve kill
ed and forty wounded yesterday. Among
the former is Lieutenant Gunther, a
German officer belonging to the Fifty
fifth Regiment, and amongst the latter

Of the foreign legation. Twenty-one out

Hawaiian system of government. Mr..
Knox mastered the subject and direct
ed the deliberations of the committee
with skill. He was ably assisted by
several of the prominent members of
his committee; and all seemed anima-
ted with a desire to deal fairly with
Hawaii. That there was great differ
ences of opinion, and some ignorance
of the conditions existing in Hawaii
was to be expected.
The deliberations of this committee
extended over many weeks. In the
Senate, Mr.. Culom as Chairman of
this committee had the brunt of the
work, and he worked very hard and
earnestly. In both Houses attacks
were made upon the Bill and upon
Hawaii and many amendments were
merely for effect. Not only is Pres
ident to be elected this year, but many
members are TO stand for election.
Several members appeared vicious in
their attacks.
After the various hearings by the
committee, delays and discussions in
both Houses, the recommendation of
the conference committee were adopted
by the Senate, and the Bill went 10
the House, where it was brought up on
Thursday, April &c. The Bill was at
tackled and the discussion lasted so
long that the matter went over with
an order that the final yea and nay
vote be taken on Friday Immediately
after the reading of the minutes.
"The situation was such that those
| in charge of the Bill became very anxi-
Gus, and every effort was made to have
| the friends of the measure on hand al
| the opening of the session. They raj
| lied in numbers and the vote was over
| 1870 IN favor, against less than so op-
posed to the Bill. II was a moment OF
| intense interest, l can assure you"
Glad to get home again, suppose?'
| inquired the reporter.
Eyes, extremely so. / have been
away a long time. i was the recipient
of much kindness and my treatment al

ington was most courteous indeed.

Kinley being reelected. What about
the Vice-Presidency? Well, my i'm
| preston is that Roosevelt may be sec
ond, but OF course, that's only an i'm

Speaking of the shipping laws, Mr.
| Smith said that a strong effort wa:
| made to have the time extended or
that clause of the Bill, so that the new
steamers Of the Oceanic line could bt

! Mr.. Smith left Washington April %
the day after the passage of the Bill

rived at San Francisco the following

Col. McLennan has presented in the
Canadian House of Commons d petition
