London. April 2.-Lord Kitchener,
in a dispatch from Pretoria made pub- j
lie this evening, announces tba: the '
Second Dragoon Guards fought a I
sharp rear guard action, near Bosch- j
man's Kop. during the evening? of
March ol. Four officers are known to

of casualties have been received.
The column commander. Col.
Lawley, derached rhe dragoons with
the object of surprising a Boer laager
reported to have been located 10 miles
east of Bosehmans Kop. The dra?
goons found the Boers strongly post?
ed and the burghers were subsequent?
ly largely reinforced, with the result
thar the dragoons had to fight a hard,
rear guard action in order to regain
the main column. The heavy firing

who drove off the Boers. The latter's
loss is reporred ro have been heavy.
A Boer War Scandai.
London. April 3.-The Morning
Leader publishes the ?lleg? d story of
the crimes which led TO rae Court
martial and ex -cation of two Austral?
ian officers in South Africa, which is
inst now exciting keen indignation in
Australia.
The newspaper asserts thar several
officers of this particular irregular
corps shot natives like rabbits and
they an* even suspected of murdering :
men of rh -ir own command. The incl- j
& nt which lea ro their Court martial
was the cold-blooded executions** by j
rhos<- officers of r?-n Boers supposedly
having ?20.000, who were journeying
ro Pierersburg to surrender. The Aus?
tralians stopped Tite Boers, tride.them
by Mock Court-martial and ordered ail
ro be shot. Tiiis was done by a
squadron of tm- soldiers after some of
the non-commissioned officers had
refused to carry out the death sen?
tence. The officers then ransacked
the Boer^wagons, bur found rho ?20,

THE O?HISH SCANDAL
I investigation Begun by a House j
Special Committee.
Washington, April I. -The investiga
! lion of the charges made in connection
I with the Danish West Indies purchase
j was begun today before the special
committee appointed by Speaker Hen?
derson. Niels Gron. who brought the
charges to the attention of Representa?
tive Richardson, and quite a number
of interested spectators were present.
Mr. Gron was the first witness. He
said that in February last parties in
Copenhagen, who opposed the transfer
of the Danish West Indies to the
United States, conferred with him
about the Christmas report and sent
him here to give the facts to Congress
and the people.
Representative Alexander, of New
Vork, here interposed to disclaim all
knowledge of Christmas or the Danish
transaction.
Continuing, Mr. Gron told of hav?
ing secured a note of introduction to
Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio, of arranging
to meet the lather in Washington, his
purpose being, he said, to carry out
the assurances given at Copenhagen
that he would place the matter before
influential men. Mr. Gron told in
great detail of bringing the papers
before Gen. Grosvenor, who at first
seemed quite indignant, but later con?
cluded that it would be proper to lay
the matter before the Secretary of
State. This was done and Mr. Gron
said he learned that the State depart?
ment, held that it could take no action,
and that the authorities here had in
no way committed themselves to
Christmas.
Gron said that after Gen. Grosvenor
had decided nor, to proceed with the
matter, he (Gron: had prepared a
statement for tin* Associated Press and
had asked Mr. Crane, a newspaper
man, to send some one from the Asso?
ciate.'] Prress to him fer the statement, j
and also to G?.-n. Grosvenor for assur- I
anees as to Gron*s standing. He j
learned later, through Mr. Crane, that
Gen. Grosvenor said he knew nothing
about it. lie said he was informed
the day after he submitted the state?
ment that the Associated Press could
not use it.
Afterward, he. said, he submitted
his statement zo several newspapers
and more or less of it was printed;
He denied reports that the whole
matter was a quarrel between Christ?
mas and himself over a commission for
the sale of th*- islands, and read a let?
ter stating that an old alliance be?
tween certain Danish men and Ameri?
cans in the fall of 1897 was declared
oil eighteen months ago. Ji?- mention?
ed the names of ii. H. Rogers,
Charles R. Flint and himself as the
Americans interested at that Timi- in
negotiating': the sale of the islands.
Asked specifically regarding a state?
ment in the Christmas report to the
effect that Rogers had agreed to ac- j
com i dis h the sale of the islands for lit !
per cent o? u;e purchase money, ->ir. i
Gron said that there was ho such {
agre< ment.
Mr. Gron refused to give tl:?' names
o? the persons whom be said he now J
represented in this country. bu: said j
they were members of the Danish
upper house. Mr. Gron was closely
questioned as to whether a proposition
was.jnade for Christmas and Rogers
and himself to divide the commis?
sion. He replied that there wer.*
various propositions. He said he had
never heard Rogers say that he had :2o
votes in the Senate and could defeat
the negotiations, and said he was
never present at an interview between
Christmas and Rogers. He denied
absolutely that he i Gron i had signed j
a contract with Christmas by which I
he i Gron ; and Rogers were to have
two-thirds of the commission. He had j
never made any contract of any char?
acter with Christmas, but the latter
had made over a power of attorney to
him, which later he f "Gron j repudiat?
ed. Mr. Rogers saw Christmas, he
tesrifiv-d, bat once. After that Rogers
re'used to see Christmas <>r answer his
letters or telegams. j
Mr. Hin asked specifically if he j
knew what press associations were J
referred to in the Christmas reports.
""I do not know:"" said Mr. Gron. !

Sen of the Dead Millionaire WW
Continue Support ic the Battie
Abbey Begun by His Father.
Atlanta Journal. April 1.
Thc* Rouss Confederate hall, by
which name the Battle Abbey will be
known, will nor be affected by the
death of the famous philanthropist, as
many have supposed. This and other
matters have been determined during
the meeting of the board of trustees of
the Confederate Memorial association
in Atlanta.
The remainder of the subscription
of Charles Broadway Rouss, which
amounts to 810,000, will be paid by his
son, P. W. Rouss, as soon as the
proper time arrives.
The board of trustees also decided
during the meeting here that in the
Rouss Confederate hall will be a
memorial to the memory of Charles
Broadway Rouss. It will be a tablet
of marble, artistically engraved, but
the wording has not been selected.
At the bottom of it, sunk into the
tablet, will be a bust of Charles
Broadway Rouss.
These statements are made by Col?
onel A. G. Dickinson, of New York,
who is entrusted with full authority
to act for the Rouss estate. Colonel
Dickinson is himself well known in
the south. He is the father of the
Confederate Veterans' camp of New
York, was one of the prime movers in
erecting the Confederate monument in
Mount Hope cemetery. New York, and
with rbe aid of Mr. Joseph Jefferson
and Miss May irwin, who gave a
benefit' performance, raised a fund
that is sufficient ?'> bury ali the dead
of the New York camp f?>r all time.
Colonel Dickinson yesterday made
the following statement regarding the
Rouss Confederate Hali :
"The matter of locality has nor been
definitely settled. but there is a
decided leaning i<? Richmond.
.'Thv money still ro be raised to
complete the 8100,000. in order that
the Rouss subscription can lu- paid in
full according to the understanding,
is not a lanie amount and the board
of trustees is sanguine in regard te
raising it in a silo ri time.
*. Of the Rouss subscription 800.000
is already in the hands of the treas?
urer, and the balance 840,001) will be
paid in as soon as the board of trustees
are in a situation to ask for it. The
chartered organization is known as
the Confederate Memorial Association,
but the building will be called th?
Rouss Confederate Hall.
"'The board of trustees are now
working very harmoniously, and the
southern people will be kept informed
of the progress of the work."
The letter of P. \V. Rouss io Colonel
Dickinson, which settles what was
formerlv a. matter of doubt, dared in
New York <-n March 10th, of this year
is as follows :
..('--]<.ne] A. C. Dickson, l??;

Shriners Do LMot Represent Seri?
ous Side of Grand Lodae. i
Grand Master Walter M. White- |
head, of the South Carolina Grand j
Lodge, contributes a card to the !
Charleston Evening Pose Thurs- i
day. called "Drawing the distinction j
between Ancient Free Masonry and j
the order of the Mystic Shrine*' with I
the end in view that the public should
not confuse the serious order with the
amusement branch of Masonry, about
which so much is being written and
talked now in connection with the
coming celebration of'Shriners day* "at
the Exposition. Grand Master White?
head explains that the Mystic Shrine
with all its amusements and attrac?
tions is not Masonry, although the
only prerequisite for membership in the
Mystic Shrine is that the applicant
must be either a Knight Templar or a
Mason of the 32nd degree of the Scot?
tish Rite.
Among other things Grand Master
Whitehead states:
It is to be expected that the ''pro?
fane,*' the uninitiated who has never
learned the beautiful system of moral?
ity that Masonry inculcates, may con?
clude from the absurd, farcical parade
and the reference to '' hot sands, " *' hot
air," ''sober camels," "astute astrol?
oger," "rope ends, "and other fantastic
and nonsensical terms, that Masonry is
unworthy the attention of serious and
dignified men.
Such, however, is not the case.
The Shrine should not be confounded
with the Masonic system, as it is
neither Masonry nor a branch .of
Masonry. While it diverts its mem?
bers and amuses the gaping crowd the j
grand <>ld order of the Masonic fra Ter?
ni ty. which lias survived the criticism
of centuries of inquiring thought, sur
vi ved the hostility of crooned und
mitered heads, grown grander as it
has grown older, which has secured
the fealty of sages, philanthropists
and patriots, which has dried the tears
of orphanage, hushed the wail of
widowhood, helped the stranger ro
friends and the poor to benefactors
will continue to move forward down
the centuries undisturbed and undis?
mayed by the silly pranks and foolish
antics of the Mvstic Shrine.

JE DEMOCRATIC CONVEHTfQN.
it Will Meet in Columbia at
.^oon on fVlay 21.
Columbia. April:! -The Democratic
State executive committee tonight
ordered the State Convention to be
held in Columbia on May 21 at noon.
During the day quite a number of
members of the committee suggested
that it would he a good idea to hold
the Convention in Charleston in view
of the Exposition then being at its
best, thc cheap rates and the general
desire to go to Charleston. The Ex?
position authorities promptly acted
upon the suggestion made in good
spirit by members of the committee,
and extended formal invitations that
the Convention meet in Charleston.
Before the meeting of the committee
those who advocated the Charleston
idea thought the proposition would be
overwhelmingly adopted and gladly ac?
cepted, but when the committee met
constitutional objections were made
and the expected support faded down
to seven votes as against twentv-one.
The Boer Flag of Truce.
Pretoria, Wednesday, April 2.
Communciations have passed between
President Steyn and the Transvaal
mission at Kroonstad. but nothing is
yet known of the result. The major?
ity of the military men and civilians
here expect more from the continual
pr< ssure of the troops than from the
present neogtiarions. It is pointed
out that once before, when bard press?
ed. Tthe Transvaalers showed a desire j
for peace, but this was promptly over?
ridden by President Steyn. Nothing j
in The present situation, so far as j
known, indicates that President Steyn j
is less irreconcilable than; previously. !

They believe that a chicken house
