SWIFTEST RUN ON RECORD
ENDS in A WATER HAUL"

One of the swiftest runs that has
been made in many months was made
by the patrol wagon about O'Clock
yesterday morning. The run was MADE
to Eighth West and First South streets,
thus giving the patrol straight course
and an excellent opportunity for the
best speed the horses were capable OF.
The cause of the speedy run was a
telephone message received at ponce
station stating that some burglars were
ransacking a store on the corner OF
Eighth West and First South streets
Sergeant Brown and Officer Smith
made the record breaking run, but when
they arrived at the designated place,
peace and quietude reigned in the store

and no evidence of any burglars hav-
ing been there could be found The
oficecs thought they had gotten to the
wrong place and started on search
for the right one, but had not gone far
when they found the man who sent in
the message. The latter pointed out the
store the officers just left, but a search
failed to reveal any signs of burglars
When questioned the man said he saw
a light in the store and thought that of
course burglars were at work, and
telephoned for the police. The light
which he saw was one left by the
proprietor. What the officers thought
about being hurried out there-that too
at the rainiest time of the morning-On
such provocation, they did not say, but
it is safe to say that it could be easily
guessed.

Find Beers In Force.

LONDON, May 9.-The war office has
issued the following from Lord Roberts,
dated Smaldeel, May s.:
General Hutton, with mounted in
fantry, reconnoitered yesterday to the
Zand river and found the enemy in
considerable force. General Broad
woods brigade of cavalry with General
Ian Hamilton force, performed the
same operation with much the same
result
General Hunter reports that he oc-
cupied Fourteen Streams yesterday
without opposition, owing in a great
measure to the dispositions made by
General Paget Oh the left bank of the
Vaal river at Warrenton, where his ar
tillery fire rendered the enemy's posi-
ton practically untenable. A six.inch
gun was found most useful. AS the
infantry advanced under cover of the
artillery fire the enemy retired precipi-
lately, abandoning their clothing,
ammunition and personal effects"

Cuban Postal Frauds.

HAVANA, May 9.-The postal frauds
have been the principal topic of con-
versation in Havana today. The de-
partment admits a shortage of $75, 900,
but further investigation has brought
to light the fact that in July of last
year the receipts showed falling off Of
about $4,000 from the average of the
months previous and that this shortage
has been kept up ever since. 1t appears
that about that time Director Rathbone
gave orders for the destruction of Sail
900 worth of surchage stamps on ac-
count of the issue of a new stamp. This
work of destruction was left in the
hands of Charles F. w. Neely and his
assistants, but it is now believed that
none of those stamps were destroyed,
the theory being that they We're sent
out with the new stamps.

DEWEY AT ST. LOUIS.

Twenty Thousand Voices Join In Singing
Patriotic songs-Brilliant Banquet.
ST. LOUIS, May 5.-Ten thousand
Sunday school children, waving 10000
American flags, cheered and sang sacred
and patriotic songs in honor of Admiral
George Dewey at the public reception
at the exposition building yesterday.
The admiral was greeted with wild
cheering by the crowd outside, but his
real reception came when the children
inside the building saw him walking
down the stairs leading to the section
reserved for the admiral's party. In an
instant every person in the building
was standing up, shouting and cheering,
while III the hands of the frantic chill
dren the waving flags looked like sea
of the national colors. Then, led by
Bufunno's band, 10000 childish voices
started 1.-The Red, White and Blue -
The song was at once taken up by near
ly every person in the building, even
the admiral, standing and holding a
small flag in his hand, joining.
Then America" was sung. In this,
too, everybody joined, and as the grand
words of the national anthem rang out
in a tremendous volume of music the
admiral, visibly agitated, bowed his ac-
acknowledgements right and left. At the
conclusion of the song Chairman Nc.
Claim, leading the two little children of
Bandmaster Bufunno, pushed through
the crowd. "In behalf of the children
of St. Louis he said, 81 wish to pre-
sent to you this silk flag and to Mrs.
Dewey these songs" Then the admiral
surrendered. Taking the children in
his arms he kissed them heartily and
thanked them while the thousands of
less fortunate youngsters looked on and
in shrill voices yelled their delight.
The last and most notable of the social
features in connection with the two
days celebration occurred last night,
when a banquet was given at the
Planters hotel in honor Of Admiral and
Mrs. Dewey and magnificent silver
punch bowl, the gift Of citizens of St.
Louis, presented to the admiral. The
BANQUET, which was by invitation only,
was one of the most elaborate ever
given here.

service bulletin says: "The average tenn
perature of the last week was about
normal, though considerably cooler
than the preceding week. Though too
early to note all the injurious effects of
freezing temperature, the general opin-
ion seems to indicate that apples, plums
and cherries suffered but little damage.
The tender vegetation and small fruit
on low ground were somewhat injured,
but the aggregate of damage by frost
will be quite small. The week was
very favorable for plowing and other
farm work, and nearly all corn ground
is now in readiness for planting"

COLONlALS DOING THE WORK
Execute Turning Movement for British
In Dashing Style.


In Dashing Style.
LONDON, May 9.-Lord Roberts re-
ports to the war Office in dispatch
dated Smalldeel, May 6, as follows:
1--WE crossed the Vet river this morn
ing and are now encamped at Smalldeel
junction. The enemy is in full retreat
towards Zard river and Kroonstadt.
The turning movement was made by
the mounted infantry just before dark
yesterday. 1t was very dashing af-
fair. The Canadians, New South
Wales, New Zealand Rifles and
Queensland mounted infantry We'd with
each other in the determination to close
with the enemy. The naval guns and
the artillery made excellent practice,
particularly two 5.inch guns, used for
first time with this force. We captured
Maxim and 25 prisoners. Our casual
ties are very few-only is wounded, one
killed and three missing. Forty Beers
were killed"

Forty Beers Killed in the isattle-Leave
One Gun Behind-Fever Is Spreading
Among the Mafelling Garrison.
| LONDON, May 9.-Four thousand Brit
lsh cavalry watered their horses at Zand
river, Monday, 25 miles beyond Small
deel, where Lord Roberts continues to
date his dispatches. The scouts who
have been searching the country for
miles have found no Beers south of the
river. The enemy are laagered in un-
known force on the north bank. The
proclamations Of Lord Roberts appear
| to have little effect upon the inhabit-
ants Of the invaded districts. Every
farm is found deserted except by the
women and children. All the men are
away fighting.
Correspondents at headquarters are
now wiring freely concerning the Incl
dents connected with the occupation of
Smaldeel. Some evaporation is ex-
pressed at the ease with which the
Beers escaped with their transports be-
fore the very eyes of the British. For
instance, when the British entered
Smaldeel the Boer OK wagons coolly out
spanned only five miles away as if in
contempt of the ability of the British
to overtake them. Lord Roberts is de-
scribed as unwilling to sacrifice his
horses for the sake of minor advantage. -
| Nevertheless the waste of horsefesh,
in spite of all precautions, is enormous.
Smaldeel is village Of only score of
dwellings, but it expanded in one night
to vast canvas city and the glow of
the campfires are like scene in an iron
smelling district. The city is likely to
fade away in day by the advance of
the infantry.
The tidings from Mafekingare gloom
Ter than before. Everybody there has
an empty stomach and pinched face
The natives are nolonger given porridge,
and the whites have but quart of that
substance and pound of horse sausage
daily. Everything else eatable has
gone. Insufficient food, wet trenches
and cold nights are deadly to the health
| OF the garrison. This information comes
| from reliable natives. Lady Sarah Will
son, under date of April 81, says: ''The
Beers now number 4,5o0, including
young Elof, President Kruger's grand
son, who has sent for six more guns"
According to Pretoria advices the
British are nearing Vryburg, which is
half way between Warrenton and Mafe-
king.
A Boer account of the capture of
Brandfort, says: "The federal forces,
although weak in numbers offered
strong resistance, but they were forced
by the erwhelming force opposed to
them to evacuate the town.

settled that the narrow gauge road be-
