two or three times has he been seen in So

AIDING BRITISH PRISONERS.


WASHINGTON. May 5.-Referring to the
statement made in the House of Commons
yesterday by Mr.. Balfour, the government
lea-er. that her Majestys government was
considering the advisability OF further rep
reservations through this government as
to the condition Of English prisoners at
Pretoria, State Department officials say
that the British government has made no
representations of late on this subject The
State Department is in receipt of reports
from Consul Hay, at Pretoria. at regular
intervals, in which he never fails to de-
scribe the condition of these prisoners
From these reports 1t appears that while
this condition is not all that 1t might be-
still the Beers are probably treating them
with as much consideration as they are
able to exercise at present. Consul Hay
has been doing all in his power to add to
the comfort of the prisoners. in accordance
with his instructions. and the British au-
thorities have expressed their gratitude for
his good offices. His task has been deli
cate one. but 1T appears that he has so far
discharged IL In such manner as to avoid
giving any offense to the Boer officials
with whom he is on excellent terms
Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassador
called on Secretary Hay, at the State De-
partment, to-day, but made no fresh repre-
sentations TO the Boer government touch
ing the treatment of the pris soners.

General Otis.

here providing for a system of civil mu-

lated to urge on the people in the path
OF true progress. IL they are desirous to
understand their duties as free citizens

INDIA S0RELY in NEED
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE SUFFERING
FROM CHOLERA AND FAMINE.
Heaps of Dead and Dying, and the
Roads Crowded with Natives
Seeking Relief.

LONDON, May 5.-The report that chol-
era Is strengthening Its deadly hold on
famine stricken India brings the pitiful
condition OF that country more than ever
to public view. About 93,5OO,0OO persons,
for this is the population OF the districts
affected, are sweltering their squalid exist
ences away amid pestilence and misery
fthat show no signs OF abating. Hundreds
of thousands of pounds in good British
gold good German marks and American
corn have been thrown into. the country,
but, judging from the latest advices, all
this charity is merely drop in the ocean.
The famine and its attendant complica-
tions appear to exceed in virulence any
previous visitations. The viceroy, Lord
Curzon of Kedleston, and the government
are making ceaseless exertions to meet the
terrible emergency, but the stupendous diff
ficulties confronting them prevent the pres
ent supplying OF relief to more than 5000.
Ooo In the meantime the native states are
dotted with heaps of dead and dying and
the roads are crowded with ghastly bands
seeking to escape from the stricken terri
tory but who for lack Of food and water
mostly succumb in the attempt.
One of the most hopeless features of the
whole affair is contained in the statement
of a correspondent at Simla, who writes:
'Ten times the total relief could be laid out
in a single district without fully relieving
its distress. All we can hope for is sue
cession of good years to put the people on
their legs again."
The British districts are reported to be
so far escaping the large starvation and
| xL-k
But that their condition is not enviable
is evident from the following description
sent by Bombay correspondent of the
scene at Ahmedabad, city in the presi-
dency of Bombay: I'm an open space up
ward of two hundred were seated, old and
young, being famine personifed. The
smell arising from their filthy rags was
sickening and had attracted myriads of
flies. Some, especially the old men, were
bony framework. A girl sucking two
children was CHASTITY to look at, but the
little ones, with hollow temples, sunken
eyes. cheeks and napes of their necks fall
ing in under their skulls, which seemed
to overbalance their emaciated bodies, and
with wisplike arms and legs, were more
dreadful still. Many were suffering from
disease and numbers had the fever. Those
who could work were sent on where tanks
were being dug. Others were given a meal
and passed on to the poorhouse''
This picture is from less seriously af-
fected part of the country. The sufferings
in the Temoter districts, where the famine
is worse, where all the cattle have long
since died, where the water is precious and
where cholera has now added its dread
scourge. can well be imagined.

BURKE A CANDIDATE
In the Event that Shive1y Does Not
Run for Governor.

In the event that B. f. Shively, OF South
Bend, does not decide to be a candidate for
the gubernatorial nomination on the Dem
ocratic ticket Frank b. Burke, former
United States district attorney, will be
candidate for the nomination. Mr.. Burke
made this announcement last night. He
said:
'I have felt that Mr.. Shively did not want
10 be candidate again for the Democratic
nomination for Governor. i think, how
ever, that the Democrats of Indiana would
rather nominate Mr. Shively than any
other man prominent in the party. have
never heard him say whether he would be
a candidate or not. If Mr.. Shively an
nounces that he does not desire the nomi-
nation, / will be candidate"
Mr.. Burke does not think that William
Jennings Bryan went to South Bend to
urge Mr.. Shively to become candidate for
the vice presidential nomination, although
he says Shively stands closer to Bryan
are very warm personal friends, and Mr..
Bryan, being in the northern part of the
State, would naturally think of visiting his
friend. Mr.. Burke is not of opinion that
Mr.. Shively will be on the national ticket.
He points out that If Bryan can carry In
diana he will certainly be elected, and he
reasons that IL Bryan can carry this State
at all he can do il without an Indiana man
as running mate. II he is elected, ac-
cording to Mr.. Burkes theory. he will have
some choice Cabinet positions TO give out
friend, could probably have anything he
would choose-that is, IL the administration
decided TO invite an Indiana man into the
Cabinet.

EXPECT NEWS FROM MAFEKING.
Londoners Think General Hunter Has
Relieved the Town.


LONDON. May 6. 4E2o a m.-London has
been confidently expecting to have news of
the relief OF Mafeking before midnight. but
at that hour the War Office stated that no
further intelligence had been received of
Hunters column, to which the public be-
lieved had been assigned the work of re-
heving the town.
Beyond further details of the occupation
Brandfort little or no news has come dur
ing the night. A dispatch from Thaba
NChu, dated May 4, says the situation Is
practically unchanged, the Beers holding
their position and sending occasional shells
into the British camp. From the top of
Thaba NChu hill one can see over the
Boer camp. The country through which a
number OF Beers have been treklxing is
exceedingly difficult. 1t is learned that the
Beers are trying to draw supplies from the
Ladybrand district. The Seventeenth Bri-
gade has moved four miles south. presum-
ably to assist General Brabant If necessary.
Yesterday Lord Roberts reported to
the War Office, under date of Brandfort
May 4, as follows: Hamilton advanced to-
day to near vetkop. He was engaged with
the enemy throughout the march, He
speaks In terms Of praise OF the behavior
Of the troops, especially Broadwood's bri-
gade Of cavalry and the mounted infantry"
Lord Roberts Is evidently losing no time
In following up the substantial advantage
gained by the occupation of Brandfort and
his whole force is apparently moving on
Winburg. General Ian Hamilton seems to
be midway between Houtnek and Winburg
and has thus got between winburg and
General divers command from Wepener,
which is occupying Thaba Patchoa- Be-
tween Thaba N'Chu, Ladybrand and Win
burg the country is rough and suited for
the Boer tactics. so the British are liable
to be considerably harassed before they
capture the stronghold. Experts differ as
to whether Lord Roberts is bound towards
Kroonstad or in the direction of Bethle-
hem. The latter place is the terminus of the
line joining with the Natal Railroad at Van
Reenen's pass and the capture OF that place
would probably compel the Beers to leave
the Drakenburg range and thus open the
way for General Buffers advance. The
British will have to repair the bridge over
the Vet before the railroad between Brand
fort and Winburg becomes available.
A dispatch from Aliwal North, dated May
s. says: Three hundred captured cattle
and hcrses were brought in last night The
wounded are being gradually moved here
from Mafeteng."
A dispatch from Cape Town says; 1.-THE
general feeling here, in which official cir
cles participate. is that Lord Roberts's ad-
vance toward Pretoria viii be rapid. The
Boer prisoners do not anticipate that any
effective resistance will be encountered"
Anxiety Is felt regarding the fate of Mr.
Pegbie. who has been arrested in connec-
ton with the blowing up Of the shell fac
tory az Pretoria Consul Hay is watching
the accused mans interests.
