London, April 11.-Press reports from
Brandfort stating that De Wet, at the
head of the Boer column, had given the
British another hard knock at Meer-
katsfontein, killing and wounding 600
and capturing 900. is causing great un-
easiness. The war Office discredits the
reports but this fails to calm the public
in view of press dispatches, which re-
port the Beers very active in that vi
cinity. Brabant's position at Wepener
adds to the public agitation. Scraps of
news regarding his critical position
have come through, showing that he
had been attacked by the Beers In
force. Following this comes report
today that he had been forced to eVac-
uate wepener. This is also discredited
by the war office which has issued
dispatch from Roberts, dated Bloem-
fontein, April 10, which confirms the
reports of the attack on Wepener but
adds that the Beers were rapidly
bringing up their men, presumably to
assault the place in force. Brabants
position is serious without doubt
Gatacre, who has been in command Of
the British south of Bloemfontein, Is
apparently blamed for this state of af-
fairs, as a dispatch from Bloemfontein
announces that he has been recalled
and will return to England, because Of
his slowness in going to the relief Of
Brabant. Thus is the reputation Of
another English general lost by the
war in South Africa. Gatacre was with
Kitchener in Egypt where he won fame
by valuable Services. He has been un-
skillful, or at least unlucky in his fight
ing with the Beers.
There is no news today from Natal.
Dispatches of yesterday led to the be-
lief that Buffers men were engaged
near Elandslaagte. 1t was probably a
small outpost affair.
The seventh month Of the war begins
today. The result Of the six months
fighting have been strikingly meagre
to the British army. Roberts alone has
made decided advance. The main OBJ
ject Of the English army, the taking
of Pretoria, seems as far from accom-
plishment as ever.

PUERTO RICO
FATE AT HAND.
House Will Vote on the Tariff
Bill at ) O'clock.
THE GALLERIES ARE CROWDED
With SpectatOrs-A Vote on q Rule Indi-
Gated How Many Republicans
Would Stand Against the
Tariff Measure.

[News-Democrat Leased Wire Service.
Washington, April lin anticipation
of the final struggle in the house over
the Puerto Rican tariff bill with its pro-
vision for the establishment of a civil
government on that island, the galleries
were crowded to their utmost capacity
when the house was called to order at
noon. The gay costumes of the ladies
added a bright dash to the scene. On
the floor it was evident that something
unusual was expected from the large
attendance of members and the buzz of
conversation that arose as those who
had been absent and had returned for
the vote were greeted by their col
leagues.
AS soon as tn journal had been read,
Dalzell (Rep., Pa reported from the
committee on rules a rule providing for
vote on the bill at o'clock this af-
ternoon. He said the country demanded
action without further delay and the
rule proposed the acceptance by the
house of the amendments made by the
senate and concurrence in the bill as
amended. After considerable debate
the rule was adopted, 15S to 142. Pres
ent and not voting II.
The following Republicans voted
against the rule: Crumpacker, Ind.
Heatwoe, Mimi; Lane, Ia; Little

Sibley Pa.) was the only reputed DEM
ocrat who voted for it.
The committee on rules adopted the
language of the rule which was presen-
ted by the Democrats for the passage
of the Wilson tariff bill. 1t is iron
bound and provides for concurrence in
the senate amendments and permits the
consideration of no other amendments.
The debate on the bill was then be-
gun. Watson, (Rep., Ind) took the
floor and made an eloquent defense OF
the Republican policy in placing small
tariff on Puerto Rican products for the
purpose Of raising revenue with which
to meet the expenses of the island. He
quoted an interview with Havemeyer
president of the sugar trust, favoring
free trade, indicating that the trusts
would be benefited by the adoption OF
the Democratic policy.

HANNA HEADING HIM OFF
From Proposed Cleveland Visit, But the
Eject May Not BE Fruitful--Trying

CNews-Democrat Leased Wire Service ]
New York, April 1.-THE Dewey junta
here has caused to be circulated a
Washington story of the admiraps plans
for the future, and lays special stress
upon an alleged incursion which he has
planned for Ohio and Michigan. Co.
lumbus will be visited on the Chicago
trip about May /, but besides this, the
story goes, he will invade the state
about June 1. 1t Is said that Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Toledo, Sandusky, Akron.
Dayton and Springfield have asked
Dewey to visit them.
1t is aid that Hanna and Dick will
try to make Dewey's Columbus visit
so chilly that he will not care to go
back to Ohio again. But the attitude of
the Foraker Republicans may be COR
dial The double visit to the president s
state makes it look as though Dewey
has especially in mind the embarrass-
ment Of the administration. 1t is re-
ported that Hanna has set his friends
to work to head off the proposed visit
to Cleveland.
