But the News is Not Cred
ited in London.
bURGHERS ARE MASSINC
Withdrawing All the Men They
Can From Mafeking--Gen.
Gatacre Has Had Sew
eral SkirmiSheS.

London. March 22-Lord Roberts tele.
graphs from Bloemfontein. under date o1
March 21. as follows:
$50 many burghers have expressed a
desire to surrender under the terms OF
the last proclamation that have sent
some columns in various directions tic
register their names and take over their
arms. A cavalry brigade has gone to
the eastward to Thahanchu, and a de-
tachment from Springfontein has occu-
pied Smithfield where some Transvaal-
ers and a wagon with arms and ammu-
milton were captured. The Scots guards
are at Edenburg and Reddersburg. Gen.
erai Clements brigade is marching
hither by way of Philipopolis and Faure-
smith,"
The report from Kroonstad via Pre-
toria that the Beers have defeated the
British troops in the vicinity Of Bethulie
is not believed here. A dispatch to the
Daily News from Springfontein, dated
March 20. says General Gatacre was "All
WE'LL" and adds that he and General Bra
bant had not lost a dozen men in fort
night.
Last advices also placed Gatacre about
thirty miles north of Bethulie, where the
Boer report says the defeat was inflicted.
This, combined with the fact that no
mention of the affair was made by Rob-
erts in his dispatch March 81 confirms the
belief that the kroonstadt advices are
erroneous.
Reports of slirmishing near Lobatsi
while apparently not inflicting any Sc
riOus loss on Plumer's column cause
grave anxiety in regard to his ability to
reach Mafeking. Further news from that
quarter is anxiously awaited, for in the
six days that have passed since the last
messages were sent off, serious engage
Plumer"s seeking.
The Beers seem determined not to give
up their prey at Mafeking without fierce
struggle.
In reply to the mayor Of Capetown's re-
quest to make "Mafeking relief day." a
public holiday, Premier Schreiner wrote:
May the holiday come soon and may
the spirit of general good will and kindly
consideration prevail later.''
The Times in its'second edition publish
ed dispatch from Lourenzo Marques
which quotes President Steyn as saying
at KroOnstad that the Beers could con-
tinue the struggle for six months longer

special dispatch from Durham saws the
town of Pomeroy, thirty miles east of

Pomeroy as the Beers evacuated the
place, shelled the burghers but they sue

the hills with a force estimated to num-

BROOKLYN NEWS.
TO SUE RAPID TRANSIT co.
CONTROLLER SAYS IT OWES CITY A
LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY
ALLEGED THAT LAW MAKING IT PAY PER-
CENTAGEs OF EARNINGS HAS BEEN vIO-
LATED-EXPERTS MAKING REPORT.

legal fight will soon be on between the city
Of New-York and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company. Controller Coer believes that the
Rapid Transit Company has been evading the
payment of a large amount of money due the
city under the law granting to the city certain
percentages Of the gross earnings of the COM
pany.
The Controller gave this subject his attention
a few months after the beginning of his term Of
office His staff of experts set to work
upon it, but more important things took their
attention. and the investigation interrupted
until a few months ago.
The Controller has promised that within two
weeks q complete rcport--the most complete re-
Iort the subject that has ever been made
shall be submitted, giving exhaustive history
of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company and
detailing every extension of railroad tracks that
has been made. 1t will also state exactly how
much is due the city from the earnings of the
railroad and all of its extensions.
This report will be used the basis of suit
which tie Controller viii have instituted against
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. Con-
troller Coler said last night that this report was
prepared despite the opposition of the transit
company. They fought us said the Controller
"at every step. They refused to allow us the
use of their books, and the experts were forced
to use some old reports and history to make up
their report"

PIE FALLS SHORT OF THE DEMAND
THE CALL ON THE UNIONS FOR BAKERS
CANNOT BE FILLED.

According to the bakers unions. there is sud
den unprecedented and unaccountable increase In
the demand for pie In this city which it is driving
the bakeries TO distraction to fill. The Americans
had been ridiculed so long for running their di-
gestive organs by unseemly inordinate desire
for pie that it currently supposed the demand
for that edible the decrease. The bakers
unions however, that this is not They
declare that the American pie, after being sub
jected to every possible test, has survived them al
and has gained a most substantial victory.
They also declare that the unofending pie has
been traduced too long, and that the Government
model American pie bakery be set up in the Paris
Exposition, that the people of Europe can be
product.
This enthusiasm for the long downtrodden pie
was caused by the recent call upon the unions Tor
pie bakers. The Employment Committee OF the
Pie Bakers Union reported yesterday that II had
been impossible supply the demand made by the
bakeries for oven men. The chairman of the com
mittee declared that in filling places the union
ba kers would, of course. have the preference and
that all the bakeries would be supplied as quickly
could be found.
