IA British doctor, who visited the Boer
lines to see the wounded, found the
trenches along the river full of wounded
and saw many dead. A deserter who came
into camp last night says that yesterdays
bombardment was appalling in its effects.

Everybody admires the splendid stand
of the burghers, but, from humanitarian
point of view. It is considered that further
resistance on the part of Gen. Cronje will
be criminal. Every sharpnel shell finds
victim and unless a miracle occurs his force
must be wiped out or captured. The former
result is terrible to contemplate; but, al
though it would require a few days it
would be easy to accomplish.
Offer Is Refused.
To-day Lord Roberts sent Gen. Cronje
an offer of a safe conduct for the women
and children, together with free pass to
any point for them, and also an offer of
doctors and medicine. Cronje's reply was
curt refusal, and desultory Smelling was
resumed"

Boer Head Laager, Natal, Friday,
Feb. 23.-Yesterday the British crossed
the Tugela in large numbers, with cam
non and over 60 wagons. They at
tackled the Ermelo and Middle burgh-
ers' commanders, but were forced to
retreat under heavy mauser fire. A
renewed attempt to storm the Ermelo
men was made this morning, but the
British were again driven off. The
fighting continues. The British losses
were very heavy. Eight ambulances
were employed in collecting the dead
and wounded. The generals report that
the commanders are fighting bravely,

TO USE LAwToN'S SCHEME.
Before His Death He Had Worked
Out Plan to Create Force OF
Native Police.

Washington, Feb. 26. - Before his
death, and after giving much thought
to the subject, Gen. Lawton had
worked out plan for the maintenance
Of order in the Philippines, after the
close of actual war, which had been
submitted to Gen. Otis, and is presum-
ably the plan which will commend it.
self to the war department when the
time comes to replace the regular
troops by other forces competent to
preserve order.
Gen. Lawton's idea was to create
force of native police, whose officers,
at first in all grades, and finally, as
conditions improve, in the upper grades
alone, shall all be Americans. Some
such force as this is now successfully
applied in Cuba by Gen. Wood under
the cognomen of rural police. Owing
to the racial differences among the
inhabitants of the Philippines, it was
Gen. Lawton's idea that there would
be no difficulty in securing police who
should be proof against disloyalty in
the districts, apart from those OF their
nativity, to which they might be as
signed. That this theory was we'll
founded is indicated by the successful
use of the Macabebe tribe by Gen. Law
ton himself, and by Gen. Young later
on in his chase after Aguinaldo in the
north of Luzon. The natives, by their
acquaintance with the country, and
the inhabitants, would be of great as
sistance in running down lawbreakers.
Because of the similarity of feature
and figure of the Tagals, the American
troops have had great difficulty in dis
tinguishing one individual from an
other; in telling friend from foe.
Indeed, there is story in circulation
among some of the army officers who
have just returned to Washington from
Manila that the army actually cap
tured Aguinaldo in Cavite province,
put him in jail for Is days as a sus-
picious amigo, and then released him,
only to hear of his identity after he
had gotten away. The ability of the
Philippine leader to make up as a
Chinaman, or Chino" as they are
called in the Philippines, is said TO be
remarkable, and only a fellow native
is able to penetrate such disguise.

days comforting with the leading BIZ

To Extend the Branch.

G. s. Hall, "division engineer for
the Winona & st. Peter, came in on
the fast mail yesterday morning and
went south on the passenger" says
to-day's BellePlaine Union HE goes
to Muchakinock to take look at the
country south of there, through
which it is proposed to extend the
branch to top new coal fields. Pre-
liminary surveys have already been
made, and the lands have been leased
some time ago, and it is expected that
the extension of the line for eighteen
or twenty miles will be one of the
first jobs of the coming season. The
line has been prospected as far as
Lovilla in Monroe county and some
very fine coal fields are to be opened
up. 1t is expected that Mr.. Hall will
have charge of the construction of
the extension. The country through
which the road will be built is quite
rough as it lies along the Des Moines
River, which stream will have to be
bridged but short distance from
Muchakinock."

CAUSES REGRET.
Return to Spain of Certain Islands
which Are Found to BE Outside
of boundaries of Treaty.

New York, Feb. 24.-Concerning the
concession to Spain of the islands of
Cayagan, Sulu and Sibutu, the former
in the Sulu sea and the latter near
the coast of Borneo, and both outside
the southern and western boundary
lines established by the treaty of
Paris, the Herald says:
1T was intended by this government
to take all of the islands belonging to
Spain. The map used by the commits
sioners was of Spanish origin and has
since been proved defective.
Regret is expressed by naval officers
at the return of the islands. 1t is not
considered likely that Spain win re-
tain the small islands returned to
her, and she will probably try to dis
pose of them, perhaps to Germany"

The Street Oar Line.

Mr.. Lacy Tynes has leased the
street Car line for tho year begin
ning March 1st. next. Capt. j. ii.
Whitley, who has had charge Of
the line for several years retire
from the service with the good
will of the company, as we'll as OF
the travelling public, whom ,he has
done his best to serve.
Mr.. Tynss is q young man Of en-
ergy and will, no doubt, give the
public good service. He
will endeavOr to make such
changes and improvements as may
be demanded. And while OH this
subject it will not be out of place
to say, that we think the street car
people ought to encouraged by the
travelling public particularly of
Tazewell. We have no desire to
say word that would injure the
trade of any one now running q
public conveyance, or who may
hereafter do so. We think the
street car people should be encour-
aged for the good of the town. The
Car line was built by Tazewell peo-
pie, and the fare to and from the
depot reduced from 80 cents to 20
cents, thereby saving to our people
quite q sum Of money during u year.
Until the Electric plant was built
the street car was our only public
improvement; ;and there is no esti-
mating the good 1t has done our
town abroad, as well as at home.
Should the Cur, for any reason be
taken off we would then begin to
appreciate what it is to US.
We hope Mr.. Tynes, for his own
good, and the good of the town,
will succeed, and be able to add
improvements and make some
changes, which are needed for the
private comfort OF the travelling
public.
