Will be required to be stamped under ex

fore In his reply the commissioner calls
attention to the ruling of his office to
the effect that Puerto Rico is not a for
e1gn country within the meaning Of the
customs drawback law and that therefore
no refund of duty can be allowed by way
of drawback on goods exported to that
country. The commissioner holds that on

WASHINGTON, April 4.-An exciting
investigation this afternoon, when Bart
lett Sinclair, who was on the stand, gave
the lie to Attorney Robertson, represent
ing the miners. Robertson sprang for Sin
congressman interviewed and held Robert
son and Sinclair from coming together.
An officer appeared on the scene, but his
services were not required, as order had
been restored.
The encounter occurred while Mr.. Sin
clair was testifying of his order forbid
ding meeting at the miners cemetery on
July II last, commemorating the deaths
occurring in 1892. He said his order did
not forbid women from assembling to put
flowers on the graves. Attorney Robert
son contradicted the witness, and said 1t
did specifically prohibit women from as
semblng.
DO you ask that as a question or state
1t as fact?" asked MI Sinclair.
IT state 1t as a fact" replied Mr.. Rob-
ertson.
1T is a lie,'' responded Sinclair.
Robertson made a lunge at Sinclair but
the Instance was TOO great TO permit
blow. Representatives Su,zer, Hay,
Esch and other members sprang forward
to stop the fracas.
In the few minutes that the melee was
at its height members were standing on
and jumping over the long committee
table, seeking to get at the contestants.
The latter were In a confused tangle of
chairs and witnesses on the further side
or the table. After Robertsons first
lunge he rushed on Sinclair who was sit

the onslaught. The two went over with
a crash onto the floor, and were then sep
arated. No actual blows were struck
Sinclair, when order was restored re-
! sumed his seat in the witness chair and
after vigorous cautionary remarks by the
chairman against such disorders resumed

Neither contestant showed any outward
! Mr. Sinclair completed his direct tes-
timony during the afternoon.
In view of the excitement it was deemed

General Cronje has been In n desper-

when Cronje left Magersfontein he
made a magnificent night march He
was 10 encumbered with heavy guns,
however, that his progress WAS slow

superior numbers, were enabled to sur.
round. The battle began Sunday The
approach to the lioer position wa
across level country and the British
loss was heavy.
Sixty British guns were continually
dropping shells into the Boer camp,
which apparently wrought fearful
havoc.

asked for an armisiice to bury his dead.

reply. General Cronje Immediately
sent back word that his request for q
