WOODS ORDERS
  CAUSE COMMENT Cuban Organs Still Look With DiStrust Upon the Un-
 tied States.

Santiago de Cuba, February Ex-Governor General Woods general orders specifying the prerogatives of military commanders and civil governors are creating a sensa- ton here. The press, with the exception of the violently partisan local Cuban or gan, comments favorably upon them, say ing that they indicate an honest intention on the part of the intervening government to fulfill the pledge to establish the inde- pendence of Cuba.
 The Cuba Libre, which is antagonistic to the governor general, says the general American occupation"
 The provision transferring public works to the civil department on Aprs i causes alarm among many American employees, as they expect dismissal when the transfer is made. The managers of American and foreign business enterprises are also some what concerned, as they have no confidence in the coming Cuban administration of public affairs. The Spanards, who control the principal businses undertakings here. are particularly anxious. As public i'm provements will for some time be the prin- cipal source of business the Spanlards ex- pect but little patronage under a Cuban administration.
 Civil Governor Castello says he will CO., operate with the military authorities. but thousands of Cuban politicians confidently expect recognition when the transfer is made.

CHAIRMEN NOT YET KNOWN

Frankfort, Ky, February 1S.-A good part of the democratic legislators returned here tonight and numerous conferences were in progress during the evening relating to the political programme tomorrow when the democratic and republican branches of the legislature will meet together for the first time since the assassination of the late Governor Goebel. The question of whether Lieutenant Governor Marshall (republican) or President Pro-tem Carter (democrat will preside in the senate tomorrow is as wide open tonight as it has been. The democrat ic leaders say Senator Garter will preside. Lieutenant Governor Marshall is not here tonight, but before leaving the city last night he stated positively that he would return Monday and insist on his right to preside and the republican leaders assert positively that he will preside. Neither side go tarther than these bare statements, and what steps they will take, if any, to carry out these cross purposes can only be de- termined by events tomorrow.
 Governor Taylor went to church today without a military escort
 Governor Beckham returned to the city tonight with the democratic legislators and will have his headquarters at the Capitol hotel.

APPEAL TO THE BURGHERs
Roberts Issues a Proclamation to Peo-
 pie of Free States

Capetown, February 1S.-Lord Roberts has issued proclamation to the burghers of the Orange Free State saying that he feels it his duty to make known to all the burghers the cause of the coming of the British, as well as to do all in his power to terminate the devastation caused by the war, and that he issues the proclamation in order that If the burghers should continue fighting. they may not do so ignorantly, but with full knowledge of their responsible ty before God for the lives lost in the cam paign.
 The proclamation goes on to say:
 1.-The British government does not believe that wanton invasion of British territorv was committed with the general approval of the people of the Free State with whom the British government has lived in com plete amity for so many years. It believes the responsibility rests wholly with the government of the Free State acting, not in the interest of the country, but under mischievous influences from without
 Great Britain, therefore, wishes the peo- pie of the Free State to understand that if bears them no i'll will, and that so far as is compatible with the successful conduct of the war and the re-establishment of peace it is anxious to preserve them from the evils brought upon them by the wrongful action of their government"
 In conclusion, Lord Roberts warns all burghers to desist from further acts of hos tility toward her majectys government and troops. and he gives directions regarding acquisitions and complaints.

THE HOUSE

Washington, February 18.-The house to- morrow will enter upon the consideration of the Porto Rican tariff bill and the de- bate upon 1t promises to be memorable in the history of this congress. The vital ques- tion at issue in the bill is whether that clause of the constitution providing for equality; of import and excise taxes throughout United States territory extends over the island of Porto Rico, and in this is involved, perhaps, the determination of the future status and government of our new possessions. The republicans, in fram- ing the bill, have proceeded upon the the- ory that the constitution and its immuni- ties do not extend over Porto Rico. The democrats are solidly arrayed upon the other side and in committee they were joined by sone republican, Mr. Mccall of Massachusetts. Among the other republi- cans who take the same view, is Mir. Little field of Maine, who succeeded the late Mr. Dingley. He won his spurs in the debate upon the Roberts case and is already con- sidered one of the most powerful debators in the house. The support of these two prominent republicans has raised some hopes in the opposition that they may be able to defeat the bill. although this hardly seems probable at this writing. Both sides are preparing for royal struggle.
 MT. Payne, the floor leader of the ma jority, will open in support of the bill. He will be followed by MT. Richardson, the minority leader. sMr. Bailey, of Texas, rwill close for the minority. The debate will continue throughout the week and the vote will be taken on the following Monday.

AN APPEAL TO THE |BuRGHERS Lord Roberts Issues Proclamation
 to People of Free States. BULLER's OPERATIONS ARE SLOW 
 Boers Were Surprised by Sudden App
Boers Were Surprised by Sudden App pearance of British Troops and Became Panic Stricken-News
 is Favorable to English

London, February 19.A:50 a. mt is now amply confirmed that General Cronje escaped. Every detail, however, proves alow ably Lord Roberts plans were con oeived and were successfully executed. But for the unexpected delay at Dekiels Drift, which was almost impossible for wagons, the whole Boer force would have been sur rounded. The delay of one day there gave them the chance for nasty retreat.
 All of the other movements of Lord Rob- erts were executed exactly to the letter. Apparently General Cronje is not again with the main army, and if he escapes all together he will probably lose all his bag gage.
 There is still something doubtful abou. the capture of the British convoy. Accord ing to Daily Mail correspondent with the convoy-which consisted of 200 wagons, each loaded with 5000 pounds of rations and of forage, and each drawn by sixteen oxen-it was quite unexpectedly attacked by command supposed to come from Colesberg. The escort, consisting of eighty of the Gordon Highlanders, forty men of the army service corps and a few of ISitchener's horse, maintained a defense until the arrival of endorsements, sus- taining insignificant casualties.
 The Standards correspondent at Jacobs dal, telegraphing Thursday, February b, says:
 ''An attack was made yesterday upon the rear guard of our main body by a force of 400 Boers, who were hurried up from Colesberg. They succeeded in cap turing some of our wagons, but Lord Rob- erts did not delay lnis march to retake these There were few casualties on our side.

 Specials from Ladysmith report an ap- parent movement on the part of the Boers Howard the Free State, presumably with the object of assisting General Cronje.
