Walk Into Ambush.
1 London, May 22.?A dispatch from
Pietermaritzburg says the Boors are reported
to have entirely left Natal, leaving
Laing's Nek free. If this is true it
lenves the way open for Genoral Boiler
to advance into the Transvaal so soon as
the repairs of the railroads are snffioient
to insure good communications.
Lord Roberts is still at Kroonstadt,
reorganising his forcos.
General Ruudlo's forces aro encamped
at Trommel, recuperating. A patrol 4
miles from Trommel was nttacked by
the Boers. One man was wounded and
some horses wore killed. The affair was
unimportant except in showing that the
Boers aro still in the neighborhood and
on the lookout for any chanco of sniping.
Further details of the fighting at
Mafoking say that Commandant Sarel
Eloff's followers deserted him, whereupon
Eloff fired on them himself and
then surrendered with 80 followers. The
dispatch also says that one party of
Boers was driven out of tho Stent nnd
allowed to escape, as "we had sufficient
prisoners.''
The enpturo of Eloff and his followers
cost Baden-Powell three men killed and
even wounded.
Boers Offered Stubborn Resistance.

to tho war office in a disnatch from
Xrooustadt as follows: .
"Mahon reports that, the flying col?mu

the morning of May 18. He was stubbornly
opposed by 1,500 men on May 17
0 miles from Mafeking, but tlio Boers
were driven from their strong positions
after live hours' lighting. Malion's
casualties were about 50. The Boer
losses were heavy."
Surrendered With KIolT.
Mafeking, May 22.?Among the prisoners
captured with Commandant Sarel
Eloff are Count DeBremont, a Frenchman,
and Count Yon Weiss, a German.

Selgc of Pretoria.
Pretoria, May 22. ? An open air
meeting has been held by tho local Hollanders,
200 of whom were present, to
oonsider tho situation in tho event Pretoria
shonld be beleaguered. A committee
was appointed to secure a place of
safety for tho women and children.
The consul general of the Netherlands,
Mr. Nieuweuhuys, wa9 asked to advise
his government to take care of its subjects.
One speaker said the position was
most dark. The British, ho declared,
would be masters of the Free State and
Transvaal; might would be right; the
capitalists would dominate; tho poor
would be the sufferors and the Hollanders
would have no oliancc.
Dr. Heynmns contradicts the reports
received regarding the health of President
Kruger, which he says is good.
Mr. Kruger is transacting all tho work
for the presidency.
In accordance with the understanding
between Genoral Botha and tho president.

the president nnd Socretary Cortelyou.

touched upon a variety of subjects.
Prcsiden t* Kruger's name finally was
mentioned and the visitors then stated
their purposes in coining to this couiifcry.
They said thoy understood that
what Secretary Hay told them was final,
and that the United States could not interfere
with tho present struggle in
South Africa.
The president confirmed this view.
He said that the action he took somo
time ago (when, at tho request of tho
government of the Transvaal that this
government should intervene, he offered
his good offices to England to bring
about peace), he did with great nlcnsure
in the hope that it might jK?ssibly bring
the conflict to an end. This offer had
been declined by Great Britain, and lie
said there was nothing further that the
United States could do in the premises.

capitalists with headquarters at Fostoria,
O., has just closed a contract with
the city of Florence, whereby the city

finds was tho legislative report of the
investigation into the famous Charleston

another one would very likely havebeon I
killed, but the buckle turned the course !
of the bullet, which otherwise would
have pierced the heart.
Bad blood has been existing between
these fumilies for some time, as Mack

Foster, shot and killed a brother to Paul
Foster several years ago, and the latter

i,
Peace Remains Hatter of Military (
Progress?Roberts' Report.
' j t
London, May HI.?No message from i ^
President Kruger direct or indirect Iihk { I
recently been received bv Lord Salisbury |
or by any department of the British
government nor, it may bo added,
is any communication expected from ]
Him dealing with the. question of the ,
cessation of hostilities by them in (
tho immediate future. The prox- ,
Imity of peace, according to the gov- j
eminent point of view, will remain a |
matter of military progress. How boon
tho latter may bring about the former is
still too suppositions for a sorious fore- ,
cast on th? part of any government official.
Tho consensus of opinion, as gleaned
at. the government otlices, is that the
Boer .delegates will exhaust every effort
in the United Btntcs before President
Kruger sues directly, though Lord Hali.tbury
himself does not believe that tl* j
delegates will accomplish much ii
America
Official confirmation of the relief of
Mafekiug does away with the lingering
doubts which existed in the minds of a
few people wiio have got into the habit
of believing nothing bat war dispatches.
General Baden-Powell will be made a
major general.
Mafekiug was relieved by Colonel T.
B. Mahon, who arrived i:i tho Dongola
and Nile expeditions with General
Kitchener. Ixird Roberts' latest dispatch
merely continues his description
of the organization of the transport of
supplies and the rest for the men that
the British in tho Free H.ate and Natal
found necessary after tlieir long, quick
marches*.
A disnatch from Kroonstndt savs n
British convoy on its way to Lindley
was attacked by the Boers and obliged
to halt. The result of the attack is not
known, but it is evident that the Boers
facing the main British army are on the
alert and aggressive.
The war office has received the following
from Lord Roberts at Kroonstndt:
"Btiller reports that his advance will
be delayed for a few days 011 account of
the way in which the railroad has been
destroyed. Bundle reports that Ladybrand
has been occupied. Hunter is
pushing up the railway with supplies
for the Mafeking garrison and is arranging
a hosnitnl train for the conveyance
of the sick and wounded to Kiuiberley.
.MePkuen lias left HoopCstad to co-operate
with this force.".
Defenses of Johannesburg.
Louexzo Mamqukz, May 21.?The defense
works of Johannesburg are progressing
rapidly- Six guns, brought
from the front, have been em placed in a
fort, while schanses nnd trenches intersect
Katzeerand, near Klip river burg,
behind the race course.
News of Relief Confirmed.
Louexzo Makquez, May 11).?Mafeking
was relieved Wednesday.
London, May 19.?The whole British
empire has been carried off its feet by
the news of the relief of Mafeking. Tho
demonstrations on Ladysmith day pale
before the transports of delirium recorded
in cablegrams from all parts of
tho world, where floats tho union jack.
Overstrained feolings have found vent
in an expression of heartfelt enthusiasm,
wnicn, starting from the various content!,
spread like a prairie fire through
the United Kingdom and the colonies
and converted every community into an
aggregation of shouting, cheering, singing,
half frnutic, but, for the most part,
orderly humanity.
The empire is enfete and most of the
people in the United Kingdom are taking
a holiday in honor of the defenders
of the little outjiost.
The advanco information of the relief
of Mafeking fails to raiso a doubt, as the
parliamentary secretary of war, George
Wyndham, had in the house of commons
announced that no official announcement
could be expected for at J
least 48 hours after i'ue relief lied been !
effected. However, further unofficial
continuation of the report of the relief
of the long beleaguered town is received
iu a dispatch from Lorenzo Marquez
announcing that Mhfekiug had been iNBlioved.
II ntton Takes Hotliaville.
Kkoonstadt, May 19.?General Hutton
with his mounted infantry made aJ
dash upon Hotliaville and captured three
commandants and 19 othor prisoners,
mostly Zarps. Tne Colt machine gun

Capk Town, May 10.?The Chpe Argus
says that 80 of Eloff's pntrol \^ro killed
nd the Irish-American brigade wero
groatly cnt up at Kroonstadt.
Dearth of News From Africa.
London, May 18.?Thero is a laok of
fresh news from South Africa this morning,
but details of past operations tend
to confirm the view that tho end of tho
war is within measurable distance, i
From Kroonstadt. comes a story, attrib- |
uted to excellent authority, to the effect !
that a peace party is being formed at
Pretoria, while reports at Pretoria itself !
indicate discouragement at the recent i
reverses und the jjossibility of an early j
suing for peace.
There is nothing to throw light on j
the mystery of Mafeking. Tho usual :
crop of rumors were started on the Stock
Exchange and elsowhero, basod mostly i
on tho fact that this day, May 18, is the I

PRESIDENT IN BAD HEALTH.
For this Reason Vico Presidency Is
Source of Worry.
Nf.w Yokk, May 21.?Republican
members of congress who were in the
uity 1 ist Sunday night said the selection
:>f n candidate for vico president to run
with President MeKinley was us i?orploxing
as ever, and tlmt the matter hud
tuken a now phase.
Tins is caused by the stuto of tlie
president's health. The information
that comes from * Washington is thn'
while the president's health is not alarming,
it is of a character to cause uneasiness
among his intimate friends, to
whom the facts arc kgown. They will
not even breathe a doubt that the president
is likely to serve four years more,
yet they are satisfied that more than
usual care must be taken in providing
for the presidential succession.
Usually the vice presidency has been
thrown as a sop to the defeated faction.
This will not bo the ease this year.
At a recent conference in Washington
it was assumed that Governor Roosevelt
was entirely out of consideration
and his name was not presented. In
explaining this it may be said that there
are very large numbers of Republicans
in iind out of the state who still believo
that the governor will "ba drafted" at
Philadelphia. Still at the meeting in
Washington other names were considered,
among them being those of C. N.
Bliss, Secretary of the Navy Long. Senator
Lodge, Senator Collum of Illinois,
Senator Woleott of Colorado and General
E. S. Otis.
When all was said and done it was
agreed that the candidate for vice president
who met all political nnd other exegencies
had not been discovered.
J. C. W. BECKHAM GOVERNOR.
United States Supreme Comt Decides
In Kuvor of Democrats.
Washington, May 21.?The Kentucky
governorship case was today
decided by the United States supreme
Court ill thn internet nf TiocUhimi affirm.
ing tho decision ol tlio court of appeals
of Kentucky.
Tlio opinion was handed down by
Chief Justice Fuller and tho case was
dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Ho
said the court should bo tho last to overstep
the bounds limiting its own jurisdiction
and that the determination of
cases of this character, contests for state
offices, must necessarily bo seettled by
tho political branch of tho government.
That branch had acted in the Kentucky
caso when the general assembly took jurisdiction.
There was 110 apiioal from
tho assembly's decision, which was favorable
to Goebel and Beckham, except
to* the tribunal of the people, which tribunal
the chief justice said, was always
in session. Ho also said the case was
purely a state case?that Kentucky was
in tho full possession of its facualties as
a member of the Union and that there
was 110 emergency at this time calling
for interference.
The opinion was not unanimous, Justices
Brewer, Harlan, Brown and McKenna
dissenting.
NAIL AND WIRE IN HIS BRAIN.
Robinson Resorts to Drastic Measures
to Secure Relief.
Ocai.a, Fla., May 21.?The queer conduct
of Julian Robinson, who recontly
shot and killed J. A. Walls and seriously
wounded Dr. Blitch here, has been
oxplaiued by tho prisoner. At times
Robinson would fall upon the floor of
his cell and remain in a stui>or for several
hours, which was believed to be
caused by poison, administered by his
sister, who has been sending the prisoner
his meals.
His condition led to an iirvestigation
and the startling discovery was made
that the prisoner had driven a G-poiniy
nail into his head in an effort to secure
relief from a pressure on the brain, tho
prisoner stating that a lump had formed
011 his brain which caused him incessant
painv The nail not giving the desired
relief, Robinson took a wire off
tho bedspring, which ho iusertod in the
hole and twisted around.
Physicians were summoned and tlio
wire removed and tho prisoner is resting
easily.
NEGRO SUFFRAGE THE ISSUE
Virginia Election Thursday to Deckle
Constitutional Convention.
Richmond, May 21.?The people of
Virginia will decide in next Thursday's
election wliothor or not there shall bo a
restriction of negro sufFrago in this
gtnto. That is the real issue involved in
the question of calling a constitutional
oonventiou upon which the people of
Virginia are to pass. If the convention
is ordered it will adopt au outirely new
constitution to supplant the one framed
by the Underwood convention just after
tho war.
Efforts will be made to improve and
lessen the cost of state government, but
the elimination of tho negro as a factor
in politics is tho oyershadowing issue.
It is this that led tho Republicans to opposo
and the Democrats to ospouso the
convention cause.
Wheat Crop PromisingFort
Worth, May 17.?II. G. Stinnett
of Sherman, M. T. Kaufman of
Dallas, Frank Becker of Galveston and
F. A. McOlellan of this oity, all members
of tho Flouring Mill association,
have roturned from an inspection of the
wheat crop in the Panhandlo. They
say that such a crop as indications point
to in that section has not been grown for
