LONDON, May is.-A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Lorenzo Marques
dated Tuesday, says:
"There is now no doubt that there
was desperate fighting at MafekiHg'
Saturday, but 1t is believed to have
gone In favor Of the garrison. All that
can be ascertained Of reliable char
acter follows;
"The Beers, using artillery, attacked
the town Saturday. Very soon the Eaf-
fir location was In flames. some say as
the esult Of shell are. others as the re-.
suit OF treachery. Fighting at close
quarters became general, and In the
midst Of the confusion the Beers gained
possession Of the kafir location, from
which point of vantage they brought
guns to bear on the town at close
range.
Actually Surrounded the Beers.
"By an adroit move the garrison, de-
spite Its attenuated numbers, succeed
ed in actually surrounding the party OF
Beers who captured the kahr locaion.
Severe lighting followed, but, accord.
ing to the latest reports, the Beers still
hold the location, in which they are
probably surrounded.
"The truth is. I believe, that the
Pretoria authorities knowing OF the
progress Of the relief column, gave or
ders to General spymRn to stoEm the
place, As soon as the location was In

flying about everywhere to encourage

"Boers who came down here yesterday
from Pretoria produced for the edlhca-

signed by Snyman and said: ! was
lucky enough to capture Baden-Powel,
with nine hundred, this morning.
There is no doubt about the heavy
fighting. A telegram from the Portu--
guese consul to the governor general
here confirms this and there is little
doubt Of the occupation OF the kafir
stadt. But similar telegrarns were pub
llshed at Pretoria, about Ladysmith,
and quite recently about Wepener, Just
before Colonel Dalgety was relieved"

senators peellne to Tall Much.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-senators
generally declined to express opinions
upon the effect Of the appointment of
MIR. Clark by the lieutenant governor of
Montana, saying the problem was too
new for them to discuss; that investiga-
ton would be necessary. Senator
Chandler. chairman Of the committee
on privileges and elections, would only
say, when informed OF the appointment,
II reckon the trick won't work." Sem
ator Hoar, second member Of the COM
mittee in rank. would not consent to
express any opinion at all.
Senator McComas, a Republican mem
ber Of the committee, said;
IF the report Of the appointment Is
true, apparently the case would de-
pend upon the fate Of the pending reso-
luton reported by the committee on
privileges and elections In the Clark
case. II that resolution should be
passed It would be judgment Of the
senate to the effect that the seat was
vacant from the beginning Of the term,
and we should then have repetition Of
the Quay case. If the resolution should
not pass then the appointment Of Mr..
Clark would be the filling Of vacancy
occasIoned by his resignation, and
would be quite the ordinary case Of
filling vacancy by executive appoint
ment."
Senator Frye, president pro tenn OF
the senate, said that under the present
conditions vacancy existed. He had
ordered Mr.. Clark's name stricken from
the roll on the statement that he had
resigned. II Senator Clark presented
credentials in due form he would be
sworn in, unless objection was made.

CUBAN POSTAL FRAUDS

Discussed at the Cabinet Meeting.
How Beers viii be Received.
WASHINGTON, May l5.-The Cuban
postal frauds were practically the only
subject of discussion at to-day's cabi-
net meeting. No late news has been
received which throws any additional
light on the situation, and 1t is not ex-
pected that anything conclusive viii be
known until the experts now on their
way to Havana have concluded their IN
yestigatlon, and made their report.
The suspension of Postmaster
Thompson was a great surprise to the
President and the members of the cab
.inet, and none of them believe that he
Is guilty OF the least wrong-dolng' II
is assumed that General Wood mas
come to the conclusion that until the
matter OF these frauds has been thor
ouRhly investigated It would be best to
temporarily suspend all Of the ofioials
who were in positions where they might
have knowledge, guilty or Otherwise
OF what was going on.
The cnbinet also discussed the recep-
tion to be accorded TO the Boer dele
CATION, which has Just arrived In the
country. The decision was not TO make
any technical points against the dele
gates, but to treat them with rs much
Uberality as is possible without q
breach Of the diplomatic proprieties.
Thus, II they have any credentials,
the delegates will be afforded an op-
IortuRity TO present them to the state
department. 1t Is said that there Is n
precedent for this line OF action.
