With Slight Opposition.
ENGLISH NOW CONTROL THE RAILROAD
Big Supply Of Ammunition Found In the
Dutch Masazine-Skirmish Reported
at Boshman's kop.

LONDON, April l.--Lord Kitche.
ner, reporting to the war Office. under
date of Pretoria, April 8. says:
"Plumer has occupied Petersburg
with slight opposition. He captured
two locomotives and 40 trucks. He
took 60 prisoners capturing a seven
FOUNDER and destroying 100000 car
tridges with 1000 rounds of seven
FOUNDER ammunition, and cOnsid-
cradle amount of powder and dyna-
mite"
The capture of Petersburg is re-
garded here as important. The place
is the terminus of the railway, and
has been the capital of the BOer gov
eminent since the evacuation of Pre-
toria. The whole Northern railway
is now in the hands of the British.
According to Lord Kitchener's dis
patch, only one officer and one man
was killed. The Beers evacuated the
town during the night prior to Plu-
mer's arrival, after blowing up two
trucks laden with ammunition.
Lord Kitchener reports the capture
of 16 prisoners, so horses and the
depot of war stores at Boshman's
kop, Orange river colony.

the British were surrounded and cap

PROTECTION OF SEALS,
United States Will Have Cutters IN
6ehring Sea.

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE Beh-
ring sea seal grounds will be pa
trolled by revenue cutters this sum.
mer, as in past seasons, in co-opera.
ton with British warships, which
have taken hand in this special duty
for the past two seasons. The treas.
ury department, which has direct SUI
pervision in such cases, flatters itself
that in the course of the last five
years there has been less illegal seal
fishing In Alaskan waters than before,
especially during that period when the
question of Jurisdiction was in dispute
between the United States and Can
ada.
Since an agreement has been
reached, the two governments have
entered into hearty cooperation, and
established sufficient patrol to stamp
out the unlawful practice. This sea
son the United States will have five
revenue cutters in Behring sea, which
will be aided by several of the smaller
British gunboats. The cutters to be
assigned to this duty are the Bear,
Thetis, Manning, Grant and Rush. 1t
Is to be understood, of course. that
their entire time will not be devoted
to the protection of seals, but while
on other duty In Alaskan waters. will
look out for seal protection. The Bear
will go to the Point Barrow region,
where she will remain throughout the
open season. and the Rush will be Sta
toned at Sitka, for duty particularly
in the Southern Alaskan waters. The
several cutters are expected to start
for Alaska between the LIST and goth
of May, next.

FRENCH ARE HAPPY.
Russia Gives Another Proof Of Her
Friendship.

PARIS, April 1.-THE important
festivities attending President Lou
bets visit to the Riviera were
brought to climax today in the
double naval demonstration at Vile
franche and Toulon. Both proved
splendid spectacles. The profuse dec
orations at Toulon, the flotillas of
pleasure boats fitting about the har-
Dor, the gaily dressed warships lying
in the rOadstead and the animation of
the immense crowds of strangers jost-
ling one another in the streets ana
along the wharves impaired colol
and picturesqueness to the scene
which outvied the situation at Vile
franche. The French people. however,
derive as much pleasure from the in
cidents at Vil!efranche as from the
meeting of M. Loubet and the Duke
of Genoa at Toulon.
"The Russian squadron" says lie
Journal des Debats, "saluted the pres.
ident on his departure for Toulon so
that Russia will be associated as COM
pletely as could be desired with the
fetes on the Riviera. Those who have
spoken about the GOODNESS of two
friendly and allied countries are now
compelled to admit that they took the
desire for the reality. Those who con.
tended that Russia wished to manifest
hostility toward the Franco-Italian
IMPROVEMENT now have proof to the
contrary in the fact that the Russians
came to salute the president at the
very moment when the fetes at TOu.
Ion. sealing this rapprochement, were
about to take place"

extending a palm over the pictures.
The figures and letters denoting the

spicuous. The note is considered as
artistic as any that has been isAled
In many years.

b0THA WANTS p[A(t
Has Reopened Negotiations With
the British.
DEwEr HAS NOT BEEN CONSULTED
The Boer General, Learning That the Free
Staters Intellect Had Weakened. As.
sumed Full Responsibility.

CAPE TOWN, April 12.-General
Botha has reopened negotiations with
the British for peace. 1t is understood
here that although General Dewet, in
his recent interview with General
Botha, refused to surrender, General
Botha regarding him as Irresponsible
undertakes to negotiate in behalf of
the entire Boer forces. The British
authorities here consider that If Cen
eral Botha surrenders, Dewet's fol
lowing can be easily taken.
AS explained here, this action was
determined in part by General Botha's
discovery at recent meeting that
General Dewet's intellect had weak
ened, that his influence with his fol-
lowers was diminishing and that con-
tinuance of the campaign, In view OF
General Dewet's responsibility, rest
ed with General Botha alone.

Must Go to Asylum.


CHICAGO, April IA special to
the Tribune from Nashville ILL.,. says:
Brigadier-General John B. Turchin,
soldier, scholar and author, is insane.
and confined in the county Jail in this
city, whence he will be transferred
to the Anna asylum tomorrow.
General Turchin was born in Rus.
STA, and received military training,
He was commissioned colonel of the
Nineteenth Illinois Infantry by Gov
ernOr Yates, in 1861. He organized
his regiment at Chicago, and left for
Tennessee. where General Buell.
placed him at the head of brigade.
Here Turchin offered plan to his
superior officers for capturing Hunts.
Vile, which was accepted and proved
successful. In recognition of this ser.
vice, he was appointed brigadier-gen-
eral. In 1868 Turchin organized the
Chicago Board of Trade Battery into

paign, with his command he distin
guished himself upon several occa-
sions. During the Atlanta campaign

forced to leave the army, and later
resigned.

WOMEN TO GO TO SOUTH AFRICA
English Girls Apply by Hundreds foi
the Opportunity.

NEW YORK, April 10.-A rather UNI
expected result has followed Mr..
Chamberlain's recent speech in sup
port of the scheme for sending women
out to South Africa, at the conclusion
of the war says the London CORE
spondent of the Tribune. An enOr
nous number Of letters has been re-
ceived from women eager to emigrate
and reluctant to wait until hostilities
are ended. One woman who wrote
direct to Lord Salisbury said she was
prepared to go out at once with her
mother and sisters, but she indicates
no particular sphere of usefulness.
Another wrote to the colonial Office
in behalf of herself and few other
'flrst-class lady BARRIERS" Naturally
the colonial Office authorities are do.
ing their utmost to discourage appli.
cations from women other than those
who are self-dependent. and girls OF
the servant type are urgently advised
not to go at all. 1t is very doubtful
whether there will be any openings
for them. and the public funds cannot
be used for the purpose of granting
free passages to the Cape.

THE REBELLION FAILED.
Negroes Governor Tried to Start an
Uprising.

DUMGUATE. Island of Negros, P.
l., April 11.-Since the United States
Philippine commission was at Baco.
lot, the capital of this island, March
81, the native civil governor of the
island, Senior Sovereno. has attempted
to start a ninsurrection against the
establishment of the commissions
new system of civil government. He
failed to secure a following.
The sentiment of the provincial
government is almost unanimous In
favor OF the division of the fund OF
$40, 900 Mexican currency, now Ia the
hands of the present government of
Negroes, between the proposed prov
inces of Occidental and Oriental Ne
gros. The bone of contention has
been that the commission set apart
two-thirds of this fund for Occidental
and one-third for Oriental Negros,
the difference in the amounts to be
offset by taxes still unpaid at Baco-
Ito. A resolution in favor OF the re-
organization of the two provinces has
been adopted. Details have been en-
bodied providing for the obligations
of the present government The
provinces will be created later.

Makes Good Speed in Two Trials on
PUGET Sound.

SEATTLE. April 1O.-The torpedo.
boat destroyer Goldsborough, built by
Wolff & wicker. of Portland, was
given two OF the first of her official
trial runs in Puget Sound, off Alki
Point Saturday; one in the morning
and the other in the afternoon. The
official trial board, comprised of Lieu.
tenant Commanders G. II. Peters and
Buimer, Lieutenants A. B. Wilson and
c. Ohler; Assistant Naval Constructor
Adams. all OF the battleship Iowa;
Frederick Balm, representing the
building firm, and several invited
guests Of the builders. and the cor.
respondent Of the Telegram, were
aboard during the trial trips.
1t was 3 o'clock in the morning
when the order was given to cast
away the shore line, and soon the lit
tie steel flyer swung from her moor
ings and headed down the harbor for
Alki Point. She made the trip over
at comparatively slow speed. Thou.
sands of spectators lined the wharves
the entire distance of the long water
front, and watched the pretty maneu.
vers OF the destroyer, and they wit
messed a fine sight, seldom seen In
these waters.
Arrived at Alki Point, orders were
given to let her go full speed ahead.
The smoke poured from her two
large stacks in dense columns, as she
fairly flew through the blue waters
OF the Sound, squirting the spray high
into the air from her bow. Over to
Magnolia bluff she sped, like race.
horse, eager to win the highest trO.
phies; circling around, she crossed
back on the course just traversed.
This was repeated four complete
trips. Arriving back at Alki Point,
where Puget Sound steamers make
their runs to the city from Tacoma,
she paused, as If to catch her breath,
when the Flyer, the fastest steamer
on the Sound, appeared. Still the
Goldsborough waited. The Flyer came
alongside, then passed on. The full
speed ahead signal was given, and
then a race such as was never before
witnessed on Puget Sound, began, the
distance to the city being three miles.
Faster and faster through the waters
sped the little steel destroyer, and it
seemed that the Flyer had suddenly
stopped, so slow was her speed COM
pared to that of the GoldsbOrOugh.
The latter was at her dock and tied
up before the Flyer had blown her
city whistle. Probably never again
will so grand and majestic a sight
be seen as that race, and the immense
crowds on the docks seemed to ap.
preciate it, for as the Goldsborough
drew near to her wharf, she was greet.
ed with tremendous shouts from a
thousand and more threats. At noon
the party went to the Butler cafe,
where they were given banquet by
Mr.. Balm.

NEW PROCESS DISCOVERED.
Armor Plate May Now be Furnished
Cheap.

NEW YORK. April IA special
to the Herald says: Armor plate for
naval vessels may be sold to the gov
eminent for only $3.50 ton and the
manufacturers may make fair profit
at that price. An experimental plate.
manufactured by an entirely new pro-
cess, has recently been shipped from
Pittsburg to the naval ordnance prov
ing ground at Indian Head to be sub
jected to the regulation ballistic test.
Upon the result Of this test will de-
pend further experiments which may
result In the adoption by the govern
ment OF this new armor instead -of
that for which the navy department
Is now paying at the rate Of Sass a
ton.
II the new armor Is a success and
can be sold for $3.50 ton it will mean
saving to the government of 1905
on each ton OF armor. On a battle
ship of the Alabama class, carrying
$500 tons Of armOr, this would meai,
a clear saving to the government OF
$793, 900.

FEAR PUNISHMENT.
Cause Of the Rebellion in Northern
China.

PEKlN. April 1.-THE Russian min
lister to China, M. de Giers, respond.
ing to the letter from Prince Ching
and LII Hung Chang regarding Man.
churia, merely refuses to hold further
communication with them upon the
subject.
The Monaghan Prince Olaskan
father-in-law of Prince Tuan, proves
to be an important factor in the re-
bellion now in progress. He urges
the rebellious troops to march on
Singan Flu. Chinese knowing Gen.
eral Tung Flu Sian say the emperor
brought the rebellion upon his own
head when he published the edict
threatening the general with future
punishment. On account of his pres.
ent power and influence, General
Tung Flu Sian would not permit this,
and naturally desired to prove that
power. He has the entire Moham'
medan population with him. Prince
Tuan also has large following. while
Prince Olaskan controls the entire
province of Mongolia.

RUSH TO NOME.
Prospect That All Previous Records
Will Be Broken This Season.

SEATTLE, April 1.-THE rush to
Nome this season will be the largest
yet. Even at this early date hundreds
of intending NoMeites are buying
tickets so as to be sure of berth
when the time comes to go. The ear
Hest sailing for that place from this
city is April 26, that being the date
the steamer Jeanne is scheduled to
sail. Most all of the berths have been
sold already. Dozens of steamers,
schooners and barges will make the
trip this year, and the prospects are
that every one Of them will be loaded
TO the gunwales with passengers and
freight
Late news from Nome points to a
great season there. There has been
a ricn strike on the headwaters OF
the kuskokwin river, and that has
caused great sensation among those
who propose to go there this summer.
A recent letter received in this city
from Nome gives an interesting &C
count of life in that far northern
country. The writer says the winter
has been very mild this season, and
he has been going around with very
lltte inOle underwear and other cioth-
ing than he wore when lii this city,
and he says be never wears an over
coat. Prices on produce, he says,
we've very low at the time of the
writing, which was the 18th of Jan
uary. He said the best hay was sell
ing for $3.50 per ton. Coal was down
to $50 per ton, but last winter was
up to $50. Best beefsteak is selling
for IS cents per pound. and turkey
for so cents. He says Nome is the
place to make fortune in small
time, and advised the man to whom
he was writing here to sell all of his
interests and come up there in the
summer and go in with him in open
ing up a large produce store. The
shortest day had three hours Of sum
shine. but darkness did not come on
until o'clock at night.
