THE DELAGOA BAY AWARD.
American and English Invest0rs
RuthlessIy Robbed Under Manipu-
~ IatiOns Managed from Pretoria

Bcrne, Switzerland, March 3O.-Ac-
cording to the Delagoa Bay railroad
award. Portugal is condemned to pay
1914 200 francs. sassy
London. Marcel, 3o.-Ihe Daily Mail,
commenting upon the award at Berne'
says:
s.The boundless procrastination OF
the tribunal it is difficult to explain,
for not the smallest trace of equity cac
be discovered in the award OF the peg
gardlv $500, 900 awarded as compensa-
ton for a concession valued at 45.-
100000 We fear the arbitrators al
lowed themselves to he prejudlceo
against British interests by the IRA
tional Anslophobia which has seized
the Swiss people. BY their conduct
the arbitrators have struck deadly
blow at arbitration.
The Daily Chronicle says:
s.The award corresponds with the
general anticipation. Portugal is con-
demned to pay, including interest,
nearly million sterling. Probably the
ingenuity of Pretoria was fertile
contributor to the ineXplicable delay
of the arbitration. We wonder wheth-
er the diplomatists at Lisbon think
they have had the value of their
money.
The editorial then proceeds to re-
proach the British government with
doing nothing to stop President kru-
gers open intrigues in the Delagoa al
iair, and says:
I'VE would not be surprised to find
that acknowledgements thoughtfuiiy
banked a nice sum to enable Portugal
| to pay the indemnity, and so to pro-
vide against the contingency he fore
saw so clearly in March, 1888. On the
| other hand, President Kruger has had
all the value he is likely to get out OF
| Delagoa Bay, and he is not the man 10
pay for favors received if they can b.
had for nothing. In this state OF ul:-
certainty we should be glad to have
sCme announcement from Lord Sails
bury"
The Daily News says:
| s'The sum awarded is as great sur
prise as has been the unconscionab'e
time taken by the arbitrators in ar.
irving at decision. 1t had been esti'
mated that between two and two and 4
hal: millions sterling at least would
be the amount of the award, and on
the financial obligations thus to b.
lait: upon Portugal a great deal of p"
Iitical speculation has recently turned
This speculation will probably have t:
undergo a good deal of modification
The Daily Graphic says:
'The award is profoundly unsatisfac
| tory for if ever there was a high
handed and unjustiffable raid on pri
vate property it was the confiscatlo'
of the Delagoa Bay railroad"

The Advance About to Begin.

London. March 31.-Spenser Wilkin-
SOL. dealing with the military situa-
ton i'll his article in the Morning Post
to-day, says:
"The engagement which Lord Rob-
e,ts reports could not have been very
serious. The Importance of the action
lies, in the fact that the Beers will
probably for some time be shv of at-
preaching British outposts. 1t would
be rash to say that Lord Roberts is not
about to advance Immediately. The
date of the advance will be secret, so
as to prevent the enemy learning it.
Presumably Lord Kitchener is now at
Blccmfontein, and this may be taken
as All indication of the imminence of
the advance"

Description of the Battle-C"oiness
of the Provincial Troops.
Eloemfontein, March 31.-The at
tack upon the Beers holding the kopJes
near the Karee siding station, few
niles south of BrandfOrt, was made
by fuckers Seventh division, with the
co.operation of French's cavalry. TIE
attacking troops included large
force of Australians. Col. Knight,
with 400 New South Wales mounted i'll
fantry, including Legallais' brigade,
attacked the right flank. long chain
of kcpjes was held by the Boers,. and
there was severe firing along the line
of attack. The approach was very
steep, like a fortress. and the troops
were unable to make headway until
tie infantry made an attack upon tie
front. The cavalry went round the
right flank of the Beers, and used
their Wickers- Maxim freely. An army
hospital was established in a cottage
under the shelter of large kopje. The
Boer sheHs came right over the kopjes
and landed near the hospital, which II
was found necessary to evacuate.
The Beers slowly retreated upon
Brandtord, taking their dead and
wounded with them. Meanwhile the
cavalry, including the Austrian horse
ard the Sydney lancers, under Capt.
! Cox, brigaded with Porters' brigade.
| Tie Carbineers, Scots Greys and the
| Iuiskillings. received a severe shell
fire. The Beers had evidently marked
the range, as when the troops adj
vanced the enemy's fire was less ac'
| curate.
| The colonials displayed great cool
ness under fire. Many horses were
| Killed in the cavalry's flank attack.
The Beers fled, and all our troops
pushed forward, and now hold an eS'
cellenj position upon the large kopjes
| recently held by the Beers.
The farmers are in the laager fight

confident the English will not touch

into public notice the undeveloped
wealth and great possibilities of a state
worthy of recognition by the wage
Garner and capitalist alike.
So thoroughly does the feasibility of
the plan presented appear that the
great railroad corporations, whose
lines traverse the territory in question,
have entered into the spirit of the pro-
ject and are YER now not only lending
their aid, but have consented to offer
such inducements in the way of trans
portation rates and facilities that sue
cess is assured.

energy dominating it, it will be readily
