Outbreak of Cholera
in Bombay.
Large number Of deaths.

Dispatches to London from Bonn .
bay state that an unprecedentedly
severe epidemic of cholera has broken
out in the northern districts of Bonn
bay Presidency, especially in tho
famine camps, and that the deaths
have increased 40 per cent. within
three days. In the Kaira District
there have been 1880 deaths in
seven days. The government has
made special grant of G1, 900 to
cremate the dead Immediately. In
Planpur State on the first day there
was one death, on the second there
were eighty-four, and on the third
there were upward of four hundred.
The swiftness Of the infection was
due to the fact that the first death
was near the only available water
supply. In the city of Bombay there
have been sixty y-seven deaths in the
asst seven days.

Lord Roberts Des.
patch describing
occupation OF
Pretoria.

Advices from London to New
York state that General Roberts
despatch announcing the fall Of
Pretoria, as made public by the war
office, is in part as follows:
The occupation of the town passed
off most satisfactorily and the Bri
tish flag is now hoisted on top of the
government offices. The troops met
with much more enthusiastic re.
ception than | had anticipated.
The third battalion of the Grena-
der Guards lined the square when
the march past took place.
Owing to their having been on
duty at some distance around the
town, very few cavalry and infantry
were able to take part in the cere-
mony.
Several of our officers who had
been prisoners were among the
Onlookers.
Until more light has been thrown
on the situation in the neighborhood
of Pretoria the officials here find
difficulty in outlining Lord Roberts'S
programme. 1t appears evident that
the Boer commander-in-c -chiet, Gen.
Botha, with all his guns, withdrew
in good order; probably along the
Delagoa Bay Railroad with the view
of joining President Kruger. Thus
the Transvaal forces remain practi-
calIy intact, with presidents Kruger
and Steyn and Gen. BOtha and Sc
cretary Of State Reitz all safe and in
position to continue the direction
Of affairs.
The more optimistic see in the fact
that President Krugers wife and
Gen. Botha's wife were left al Pre-
toria an indication that the president
does not count on long resistance.
In any case it will probably take
Lord Roberts at least week to or
ganize a campaign Of pursuit.
The military authorities expect
that the next important news will
come from Gen. Buffers direction,
where plenty Of time has elapsed to
cOmpIete the turning movement Of

in Havana grOun=
dleSS.

The somewhat anonymous charges
s0hich were brought against an Ar
my Officer on staff duty in Havana,
and whose name has not been given
to the public, seem to have fallen
through.
Secretary Of War, Root, said re-
Gently that the rumors that the acc
used officer had been engaged in
corrupt dealings had been brought
to the attention of the military au-
thorities and had been investigated
and found grOundless.
General Ludlow gave out a state
ment to the same effect. He saiO
that although the rumors were pu.
blicly circulated, they would be pri-
vately Investigated. Army officers
say the government, in Difference
to the accnsed officer, should have
made the inquiry public, so as to
have eifectually cleared him from
any charge Of wrOngdolng in HaVa
na.

Cows from Porto Ri
co on their way to
Washington.

Advices from New York state
that two Porto Rican cows and a
cali, the first to be brought to the
United States, arrived there on the
United States transport Mcpherson
from San Juan. The cows and calf
were shipped to Washington to be
plsaced in the White House dairy.
It is srpected that they will reach
Washington in time to serve the
President and Mrs. Mckinley with
cream for their breakfast on Sunday.
Porto Rican cows have a record for
averaging more cream than either
Alderney or Jersey cows.
The animals fought hard against
coming ashore, but were finally sub
dued, and after being tied like an
army mule we're si0ung to the pier
with the aid Of hoist and tackle.
On the pier they continued to show
their objections toward annexation,
and several longshoremen sOhO tried
to scrape up an acquaintance with
them narrosoly escaped being injur

LUDLOW, and another investigation
was made by an officer Selected tOl

Death of Stephen
Crane the
American Novelist.


Stephen Crane, one of the most
brilliant Of the younger American
authors, died recently in England.
The career of Stephen Crane was
as successful as it was brief. He
vas bern in Newark, N. J., in 1870,
his father being the Rev. j. 1. Crane,
D. D. To the general public he
became known by his 'sRed Badge
Of Courage" purporting to be the
experiences Of q recruit in the war
of the Rebellion, put together in odd
hours when he was q hard-worked 70,
porter on a New York newspaper,
which was published in 1895. This
was a very vigorous and vivid bit Of
realistic descriptive writing and OBJ
tanned wide circulation in this coun-
try and in England, the poe0er and
imagination in it receiving prempt
and general critical recognition. The
success of this work led to his enga-
cement by the London sWesrMins.
ter Gazette" as correspondent for the
Grsco. Turkish war in 1897, and the
letters which he furnished aoere full
of life and color. Later on he again
did admirable work for New York
and other newspapers in reporting
the incidents in and around Caba
and Porto Rico Of the war with
Spain. Before the war broke out,
in the filibustering period, Mr.. Ora
ne, took part in an expedition In
which he nearly lost his life, owing to
the fo1ndering of the vessel. Some
of his companions were drowned,
and he only gained the shore with
great difficulty. His account of the
adventure was characteristically
graphic.
