' Possibly, even now, he is at the gates of , Johannesburg, and It is believed ten i days lienee or less he ought to be tie- 1 ninnded admittance to the Transvaal capital itself. If the rebels ever really intended to "stagger humanity" by blowing up the gold reef city and mines, 1 which i< doubtful. Lord Roberts may j yet be too quick for them and arrive Ik*- ' fore they have time to do any wrecking. J The majority of the burghers will undoubtedly he glad of such an excuse for saving the mines, and they may find the excuse in Lord Roberts" skill in hustling them out of one imsitinu after another. The effectiveness of the British invas- ' ion of the Transvaal is further empha- ] sized by the news from Pretoria of the occupation of Zeorust and the advan ? on Liehtenberg. Apparently the Brit- ' isli dragnet will be drawn through the Transvaal as it was in a similar manner hauled through the Free State.

JURISDICTION O'JER PORTO RIGAN FUNDS Question Raised by War Department Auditor. HE HAS NO AUTHORITY Claims TIiul Under Provisions of Hill llr Has No Jurisdiction la the Matter. Comptroller Traccwell Takes Issue With Ilim. Washinoton, May :?0.?a question lias arisen in tlio oflico of the auditor of the war department as to whether ho lias authority to audit the accounts of the disbursement under the act of March 24, 1!K)0, appropriating 1 for the ifoverninent of the immln of l'ortn Itico. ;>r whether these accounts should bo passed on by the auditor of the state de[vartinent on tbo theory that they relate to territorial governments. The question arose on a requisition by the secretary of war for $101),000 out of this appropriation to go to the credit of Uovernor Allen at San Juan. The siulitor for the war department held that the jurisdiction of the auditor for the state department attaches to these accounts, and that the moneys appropriated by the act of March 21 are necessarily public funds of Porto P.ieo and that the treasurer of the island i-- charged with their disbursement. Comptroller Trace well takes a contrary view and says that it depends entirely upon the action of the president, who might assign a portion of the appropriation to the war department and a portion to some other department, in which ease tho accounts s'? mid lv* pussed upon by the auditors forthe.se respective departments. Or lie might place a i*>rtion of the money in the hands of the treasurer of Porto Rico, in which ease the accounts should be examined by the auditor of the island. "If the president," hesavs, "intended uu' .Tum.uuu ro uc anorrou to rue war iu'partiuciit, ir is" a serious question whether it was properly advanced to Governor Allen, there being no evidence that he had been designated as a special disbursing agent and had furnished a bond as required by section Ml 1 of the revised statures. If this advance was intended as an allotment to Porto Rico it would then become Porto Rican funds and as such should have been turned over to the treasurer of the island to be disbursed by him under section 23 or the act of April 12, uk) >.

The state board of health then passcl an order asking the city lioard of health to quarantine the Chineso district. At a meeting of the city board, called for the purpose of declaring an etfeetivo quarantine, the question was raised whether the order of the United States court would not prevent the board from declaring a quarantine. A reading of the order convinced the board that it was very sweeping in its effect and it was feared that to declare, a quarantine would bring the board in contempt, and action was deferred.
