BOTH WIN VICTORIES.
The British Take a BOer Capital and
the Latter Capture Seventy
g. E* Five British Soldiers.

London, April 10.-Lord Kitchener,
reporting to the war Office under
date of Pretoria, April 8, says:
''Plumer has occupied Petersburg, with
slight opposition. He captured two loco
motives and 80 trucks"
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
Pretoria. The whole northern rail-
way is now in the hands of the Brit
ish.
AS an offset, the commander-in-
chief reports that a detachment of
100 men of the Fifth lancers' and i'm
perial yeomanry were attacked by
400 Beers to the northward of Aber-
deem, Cape Colony, and that after
several hours fighting the British
were surrounded and captured, with
the exception of rs who succeeded in
making their escape.
London, April 1.-THE report that
Gen. Botha has renewed the negotia-
lions with Lord Kitchener is not vet
officially confirmed, but it is generally
credited and received with satisfac-
ton.

REJECTS PLATT'S PLAN.
Vote I'm the Cuban Constitutional
Convention Is UnfavOrable to
the Amendment

Havana, April s.-As indicated
would be the case, the Cuban consti-
tutional convention voted Saturday
not to accept the Plat amendment
reciting the relations which the
United States declares should exist
between that country and the Cuban
republic. The convention first reject
ed the compromise measure proposed
by Senior Giberga. Senior Quilez' mo-
ton to accept the Platt amendment
was then taken up and defeated by
an overwhelming majority, the vote
being "a for rejection and only two
for acceptance. The two minority
votes were cast by Seniors Quilez and
Giberga. The recent growth of senti-
ment against the Platt amendment is
attributed to the attitude of the con-
servative element in reference to
making concessions and to serious err
rors committed in handling the stu
alton by the authorities.

BILL FINALLY KILLED.
Last Hope of Parole for Younger
brothers Vanishes When Freedom
Seemed Within Their Crash,

St. Paul, Mimi, April S.-The bill to
parole the Younger brothers, now
serving sentences of life imprisonment
in the state prison for the bank rob-
berry and murders in connection there
with at Mortified, Mimi, 20 years ago,
was Saturday finally killed by the
house of representatives. The bill
had gone to the governor for his ap-
proval, having passed both houses in
an amended form, but question of I'M
constitutionality arose and the bill was
Friday recalled from the governor to
remedy this defect. The house first re-
fused to amend the bill, and then, by a
vote of SO to so, indefinitely postponed
the bill. The fight for the pardon or
parole of the Youngers has continued
without rest for the past 20 years, and
this has been the nearest to success
that they have yet reached, their
friends in Missouri having been as
sured of their release under the pro-
visions of this bill which has thus been
killed after being in the hands of the
governor for his approval.

WRECKED BY THIEVES.
SAFE OF IN Indiana Merchant Blown
Up But Little Booty
Secured,

Frankfort, Ind, April s.-Burglars
at Michigantown, east of this city,
early Sunday morning, wrecked the
safe in brick building occupied by c.
A. Marshall, merchant, and after
desperate running battle with citizens,
in which Marshall was slightly
wounded and one of the robbers prob
ably fatally shot, escaped with small
amount of booty. The safe contained
several hundred dollars in cash and
many valuable papers, and all was
practically destroyed by the force of
the explosion. The big steel vault was
blown out and across the room, and
drawer containing package of bank
bills was blown in an opposite direc-
ton and the bills torn into thousand
pieces. 1t is not thought the robbers
succeeded. in getting to exceed $50 in
cash, the other money being so de-
stroyed that it could not be found or
taken. The property damage to the
safe, building and goods will prob
:;bly reach $4,000.
