THE WAR IN
SOUTH AFRICA
British to Move Ncrthward at
an Early Date.

LONDON. April 17.-Ladysmith dis.
patches confirm tho report that the
Beers have retired from tho Glands.

ward have been reported and it is now
clear that the Boer advance was ordered
Tor the sake Of employing tho burghcrs
on active duty and Of checking deser-
lions. The British inactivity in one
sense is mastery, since it demoralizcs
the enemy.
An official bulletin issued at Pretoria
contains survey of the military stun.
ton III the various sections and implies
.hat thero is activity all along the line.
Ihe Boer officials evidently find it neces-
salry 10 convey the impression to their
own people that the enomy's forces have
not dlsbandcd, but are actively employed
at various points.
The only fresh claim of victory i'm this
report is that General Froncman has de-
1cated n British column and driven it
across the Orange river. There is no
confirmation OF this story from British
sources.
General Chermside, with q full divi.
and the Beers may be caught in a corner
some where i'll the southwestern section
ef the Free State.
Inc general situation at Blocmfontein
ls unchanged. Military experts here do
not expect an advance north will follow
Tor week or ten days. Lord Roberts
is probably waiting for large shipments
OF horses which have barely arrived at
Cape Town.
AT last Lord Roberts seems to be ON
the eve of moving his main body of
troops toward Pretoria. Unless all the
usually reliable sources of information
and all the indications smuppled mast
the censor are at fault, the British army,
within few days, will be marching
northward. After many premature and
un1oundcd reports that have purportcd
70 tell OF this move, there is naturally.
even III tho best informed quarters, con
siderable hesitancy in definitely setting
upon tho day Lord Roberts is likely TO
leave Bloomfontcin, but there is a set
ticd impression that it will occur either
Mt the end OF this week or tho beginning
of next.
The troops have been well rested dur
ing the few weeks stay in Bloemfontein,
and unless the British proceed mortL'
ward now the strntegism of tho Roers
VIII make itself felt. The advance will
proPably be made in parallel columns
with an advance guard, sweeping north
ward to the east and west, the force
amounting to rs, 200 men.
=, From The Hague come the news that
the Boer delegates refuse to make public
the object of their mission They hone
to be received by Queen Wilhelm, but
nothing i'll this direction has yet boon
decided upon.
The Beers, for two days past, have
been displaying great activity along the
Reddcr.burs a,a<a Rouxvillo road. Tnefr-
scouts report them advancing OH those
places to the relief of Wepener, and the
bnrghers, consequently, arc divided
whether to remain or retire. A majority
of them desire to abandon Wepencr,
fearing to be cut off, while the minority,
led by Commandant Olivier, arc reluct-
ant to move as long as there is n chance
to capture Colonel Dalgetty's garrison.
Scouts have Just reported recent firing
In the direction of Thabanchu.

MINISTER wU's CONFIDENCE.
Believes the Report OF the Ministers
Safety Is Authentic.

relieves the Report OF the Ministers'
Safety Is Authentic.
Washington, July IS.-A decidedly
more hopeful feeling with regard to
the Chinese situation was apparent in
all administration circles last evening.
The tide or sentiment, which had been
marked by pessimism, turned with
the announcement of the victory of the
allies at Tien Tsin and the capture of
the forts and native city and gathered
further strength from Minister Wu's
cablegram declaring that the foreign
ministers at Pekin were safe July 8.
two days after their reported massacre.
Aside from these dispatches the arrival
OF the president and the special cabinet
meeting called to consider the situation
were the features of the day. The cab
met met at 2: 80 o'clock, less than an
hour after the president reached the
White House. There were present Sec
rotary Hay, Secretary Root, Secretary
Long, Secretary Gage and Postmaster
General Smith.
AT the conclusion of the session Sec
rotary Root gave out a statement that
there would be no session of congress
unless future developments demanded
action by the law making body.
AilO mIuiSJST WI 3 caDle Is not re-
garded as conclusive, it is accepted in
good faith for the present. But the
administration, it can be definitely
stated, has set in motion some ma
chinery by which it is confidently pre-
dicted absolutely authentic news as to
the fate OF our minister and the other
foreigners at PekIn will be ascertained,
Through what channel the admins
tration expects to receive this all i'm
portant news is not known, but that q
definite statement OF the situation In
Pekin Is daily, II not hourly, expected
can be stated with the utmost positive
ness.
The Chinese minister expressed the
most complete confidence In the ac-
curacy OF his message. When a by
stander expressed some doubt on this
subject Mr.. WI inquired. with some
warmth:
why is It that you believe the ex-
aggerated reports coming from I'M
known sources, and yet you choose to
doubt this report signed by our high
est ofncials and containing inherent
evidence Of accuracy"
While the United States and China
are technically ct peace, the govern
nent is coasidering the forwarding OF
troops, and 1t has been decided that
1900 to 5000 men can be spared from
Cuba and the United States. There are
blrsady 1855 In China and en- route.

MY OWN vINDIOATIoN.

To the Pubic:
There are times in q mans life that
becomes necessary he should speak
for himself. To do so, may seem TO
be near approach to self-laudst
and praise. Ali things are not what
they seem. Every true manhood has
that essential element OF courage
which marks the limit of patience and
endurance. This is Q God given ca.
sential VIII. oh distinguishes the cow
ards and the sluggard from the real
man.
Having joined the Ebenezer Bsptist
Church some years ago by letter and
having walked before them "a a Chris
tisn gentleman, il pleased the church
some months age to elect me as q dea-
con In companywith five Others. We
were up forth after the usual custom
and when the question OF ordination
was called, certain complaints were
raised against me by Q certain brother
of the church.
A committee Of Ave competent
brethren was appointed, who made .
general investigation of the matter /;
after which they reported to the
church that they found me Christian
and . gentleman, and eince it has
pleased the church to drop my name
from the deaconry, il will be remem-
bered that IL was not on the account
of anything found against me. The
Ebenezer Church knows me ss q gem
tleman and Christian and that only.

his behest. Yet such was the depth

on each in turn. Seal them. and see
that they fail not to get into the
post" he ordered calmly. Yet as he
rose to leave the room, he laid his
hand atfectionately on Jacks shoulder.
and said: Il grieve not to it. my boy,
for your sake and for hers"
The aide took the chair the general
had vacated and began mechanically
the closing of the letters: but when
that to the Governor of New Jersey
was reached. he paused in the process.
After a little, he took from his pOck-
ct Janice's frantic supplication. and
reread it, his face displaying his re-
sponse to her suffering. And ten
words would save him." he groaned.
His eye sought once more the unsealed
letter, and started at it fiXedly. AT
worst it will be my life, and that is
worth little to me and nothing to any
one else.' He snatched a pen, dipped
it in the ink, but as he set it to the
paper, paused, his brow clouded. ITO

For a trice Jack hesitated. He
stands too high to be injured by it,"
he exclaimed. ''It hurts not the
cause, while it twill kill her if they
hang, him." Again he set pen to the
paper, and wrote poscript of four
lines below Washington's name. ''Tis
the DEVILS work, or her good angels,

tered, as he folded and sealed it.
Gathering up the batch he gave
reckless laugh. 81 said I'd not lift

here am taking his place on the gal

for her, scorn and insult me as they
may, and to die with the memory that
my arms have held and my lips ca
ressed her."
