USING THOUSANDS OF HORSES.
Number Has Far Exceeded British
War Office Estimates


London, April 26.-In the House of Com
mons to-day George WyndhaE, parlia-
mentary secretary of the foreign office,
replying to questions, declared Lord
Roberts had made no comment what
ever on Cen Lord Methuen's Mayors
fontein operations.
Neither, he continued, did Lord Rob-
erts dispatch Indicate that the advance
was either retarded or modified by the
scarcity of remounts. At the same time,
the secretary declared it was true that
the expenditures of horsehesh had ex-
ceeded all the estimates and that the war
office had invariably exceeded the re-
QUESTIONS from South Africa.
The difficulty in procuring ships had
handicapped the authorities, but already
this year they had sent out 27,O41 horses
and 17,143 mules as remounts in addition
to those accompanying the troops, and by
the end of May the remounts delivered
would number 5000 horses and 5000
mules.
Steps had also been taken to supply the
necessary rolling stock for the railroads.
But as far as the government was aware
the military problem before Lord Roberts
had not turned on the question of re-
mounts or rolling stock, but on the fact
that Lord Roberts had shifted his base
from Cape Town to Bloemfonteiu, thus ne
cessitating the recapturing and repair of
the railroad and the clearing of the line
of communications for a distance of $50
miles on single track with a rise of 4,50o
feet.
Regarding the relief of Mafeking which
all had at heart, the Secretary S&d the
House would realize that speedy relief
would not be aided by divulging the OBJ
jective of any of Lord Roberts forces.
James Lowther, Conservative, was heart
lily cheered when he gave notice that he
would call attention, May %, to Lord Rob
erts recent Spion kop dispatches and move
the production of further papers on the
subject.

MANUFACTURER BANQUET.
Secretary Gage Discussed the Porto
Rican Tariff.

Boston, April 26.-With a banquet of
huge proportions and amid great enthI-
siasm the sessions of the National Associ-
alton of Manufacturers came TO a close
at Mechanics Hall tonight.
Interest in the speeches conferred In
that of WI Ting Fang, the Chinese minis
ter to this country, and his every word
was listened to with the greatest atten-
ton.
Perhaps hardly less interesting were the
words of'Secretary Root, Secretary Gage
and Secretary Long of President McKin-
ley's cabinet.
Secretary Gage reviewed at length the
provisions of the new Porto Rican tariff
and government law, saying that the
financial arrangements made were Njust
considcrate and even generous. \ He
thought a course of wise expediency had
been followed, leaving the constitutional
questions for settlement by the Supreme
Court. Referring to the temporary ma
ture of the tariff imposed and the pro-
vision Of che law giving Porto Rico power
to secure free trade under certain cir
cumstances, MIR. Gage said:
IF, therefore, freedom of trade with us
is a plain outy toward Porto Rico that
duty is recognized by law. If the per-
sigenCies of the situation in Porto Rico
furnish a full justification for its brief
postponement. An immediate and per-
fect freedom of access to our markets
would be worth three or four hundred
thousand dollars a year to certain land
owners in Porto Rico. The arrange
ment carries with IL the advantages of
civil government. independent revenues
and manifold blessings to all the people

Secretary of War Root was then intro
duced and was greeted with continued
cheers.
Secretary Root. after referring to what
the army had done in Cuba and the Phil
ippines, said:
The sovereignty of America in the
Philippines is 10 be maintained. I will
not argue whether we should have been
there or not. We are there We are in
Cuba through a high duty. The task in
both places is a delicate and difficult one.
We have sent to these islands of the sea
the very best that we have in BRAIN in
heart, in courage and in American fiber.
with this purpose and this sincerity
the task is not too hard for the peope
whose fathers endured the first winter
on this shore. 1t is not too hard for the
American people so long as they have
faith in their popular institutions"
The Introduction of Secretary Long
brought th%ee cheers for the next Vice
President of the United States"
Secretary Long spoke briefly. He did
not refer to his candidacy for Vice Pres
ident.
The closing speaker was Lieut.. Gov
Woodruff of New York.

A possible significant feature of the Or

that the military occupation Of Cuba Is not
