DIRECTED At DIVINE AEALERS.
ORDER PROHIBITING THEM
FROM USING THE MAILS.
Are Accused of Being Frauds and
Have Come Under Ban Of Post
Office Department.

New York. May 5.--A special to the
World from washington says: Divine
healers have come under the ban of
the postoffiee department and in a few
days an order viii be issued debarring
them from the use of the mails. The
department has been gathering infor-
nation respecting their methods for a
month and it is Low so well conceded
that their business is illegitimate that
it is the purpose to institute a general
raid.
The matter was first brought to the
attention of the department by COM
plants from Nevada, Missouri, where
Weltmer, a so-called divine healer,
who conducts his business by mail en-
deavored to collect payment for con-
tinuing to treat a patient after the
patient was dead, Further investiga-
ton showed that he had attempted this
on several occasions, although, of
course, he was not aware that the sub
ject of his absent treatment had
succumbed to disease.
Professor A. S. Weltmer is president
Of the American School of Magnetic
Healing which is located at Nevada
Mo. and organized under the laws of
that state. He claims to have treated
$1,000 patients without personal con-
sultatiOn and to have cured all but
twelve.
The postal authorities have notified
the officials of the Nevada school to
appear on May u and submit argu-
ments to show why a fraud order
should not be issued against them.

IDENTIFY losing no time in following up
the substantial advantage gained by
the occupation Of Brandfort and his
whole force is apparently moving on
Winburg. The place mentioned in
Lord Roberts dispatch to the war Of
flee this morning as Neal Well1ot'
cannot be found on the maps and it is
likely that it is a cable error for Near
Vetkop" in which General Ian Hamil-
ton seems to be midway between
HOutnek and Winburg and has thus
got between Winburg and General
Olivier'S command from Wepener
which is occupying Thaba PatchOa.
Between Thaba NChu, Ladybrand
and Winburg the country is rough and
suited for BOer tactics, so the British
are liable to be considerably hauas6ed
before they capture the stronghold.
Experts differ as to whether Lord
Roberts is bound towards KrOOnstadt
or in the direction of Bethlehem. The
latter place is the terminus of the line
joining with the Natal railroad at
Vanreenan's pass ard the capture of
that place would probably compel the
Beers to leave the Drakenburg range
and thus open the way for General
Buffers advance.
The British will have to repair the
bridge over the Vet before the rail-
road between Brandfort and Winburg
becomes available.
Lord Roberts reports to the war, Of
ice under date of Brandfort, May 4. as
follows: Hamilton advanced today to
NeaIwelka. He was engaged with the
enemy throughout the march. He
speaks in terms of praise of the be-
havior Of the troops, especially Broad
woods brigade of cavalry and the
mounted infantry.

TREATMENT OF PRISONERS.
Consul Hay Looking After the Brit
ish at Pretoria.

Washington. May 5.-Referring to
the statement made in the house of
commons yesterday by Mr.. Balfour, the
government leader, that her majesty's
government was considering the advis-
ability of further representations
through this government as to the
condition OF English prisoners at Pre-
tOria, state department officials say
that the British government has made
no representations on this subject
The state department is in receipt Of
reports at regular intervals from
United States Consul Hay at Pretoria,
in which he never fails to describe the
condition of these prisoners.
From his reports it appears that,
While this condition is not all that it
might be, still the Beers probably are
treating them with as much cOnsidera-
ton as they are able to exercise at
present. Consul Hay has been doing
everything in his power to add to the
comfort of the prisoners in accordance
with his instructions and the British
authorities have expressed their graft
tude for his good offices. His task has
beep a delicate one, but il appears
that he has so far discharged it in such
a manner as to avoid giving any Of
Tense to the BOer officials, with whom
he is on excellent terms
Lord PauncefOrt, the British am
baSsadOr, called upon Secretary Hay at
the state department today but made
no fresh representations TO the Boer
government touching the treatment of
the prisoners

his respects TO the futility Of the furious

General Miles points out that the dis

continues:
The conclusion to mount upward of

coast defense guns in deep pits on dis
appearing carriages was apparently
reached after q lOng-cOntinued aca-
densic discussion of the subject in sue

OTIS WAS IN A HURRY.
Would Not Wait Until the Arrival

or the 1dIL COMMISSION.

request was promptly granted, and by

sant by General COrbin. directing Gen
eral Arthur Macarthur to assume
command. General Lloyd Wheaton
was designated to succeed General
Macarthur in command of the deDarJ-

BILE dispatch to General Macarthur
from General COrbin was as follows:
"Orders Of the president assign YOU
tc succeed EIwen Z. Otis, Secretary Of
war desires thar his departure be at

That General Otis has had in con-
temptation for some time this sud len
departure is the conviction Of officials,
now that an explanation is given for
the delay in the departure of the
Meade from Manila. That vessel was
scheduled 10 sail on May I, and il Isl
known that she was ready to sail on
time.
General Macarthur, who had been
on an inspection tour in the south. has
only returned to Manila. General Otis
could not start until his return, and
therefore held the ship. The Meade

the Church Extension Society, or either
of them, with the home department of the

committee was instructed to report next

INTENTIONS OF ROBERTS.
Will Make One Continuous Advance
to the Transvaal Capital.


New York, May "a dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: Some
military writer's refer to Brandfort as
General Roberts objective in the
operations Of the last ten days and
describe Ian HamiltOn's advance at
HOutnek as feint to draw off the
BOer forces from the railway. This
theory is hardly in accord with the
facts, since the fighting at Houtnek and
Thaba N'Chu has been too serious and
protracted to be regarded as a feint and
as BrandfOrt has not been held by the
Beers in sufficient strength to render
it's capture a difficult operation at any
time.
General Roberts chief object during
the remainder of the campaign cannot
be anything less than a continuous adj
vance across the Vet and the Vaal and
over the WitWatersrand to Pretoria,
and in accomplishing his purpose he
will vary his methods and follow the
line Of least resistance. His operations
cannot be conducted at a great distance
from the railway upon which he must
depend for supplies, and naturally the
course OF the army will be a series Of
curves and ztgzags, crossing and re-
crossing the Bloemfontein-P Pretoria
single track line
During the last few days a force has
been alternately applied at Karee and
al HOutnek, at each end of Roberts
line of advance and the Beers have
been driven back at points thirty miles
apart. Resistance having been over
come at both ends, there is the adj
vance upon Brandfort, and the turning
movement toward Winburg is con-
tinued with the natural effect of driv-
ing the Beers away from Thaba N'Chu
and breaking up their plan of drawing
the British after them to Ladybrand
and the mountainous district
