Secretary of State For War Says This of Boeis. London, March 26. Replying to a question in the house of commons, Wyndham, secretary of state for war, ; stated that there was no doubt from the reports of Lord Roberts and others that explosive and expansive bullets had been used) by the Boers. Many such bullets have been found in the neighborhood of the positions evacuat ed by the burghers. , ' The reports have been confirmed from Bloemfontein that while Lieutenant Colonel Coddington, of the Coldstream Guards; Lieutenant Colonel Grabbe, of the Grenadier Guards; Captain Lygon, regimental adjutant and a guide from Rapanstown were riding near Bishop's Glen, they were fired upon, by the Boers. Lygon was killed and all the others wounded. THE HALT AT BLOEMFONTEIN. London, March 26. The following de spatch from Bloemfontein, datea Sun day, is published today: "The conditions existing in the occu pied territory render imperative a somewhat prolonged halt at Bloemfon tein. It is necessary that the effect of the proclamation have time to make it self felt. It is declared that damage and annoyance to the line of commun ication may be apprehended until the territory behind the advancing forces is rendered absolutely secure. The ac curacy of this view is proved by the fact, the enemy is breaking up into isolated groups such as that which at tacked the Guards' officers Friday ; "The adjustment of financial and mu nicipal matters in the Free State is now chiefly occupying the attention of the governor and his legal and financial advisers. The military regime is be ing conducted with great smoothness, but recent investigations show that caution must be exercised in dealing with persons apparently loyal." This summary is a probably accurate explanation of the frequent appear ance and disappearance of Boers and insurgents, upon which reports are so conflicting and which so puzzle the British military critics. General Methuen appears to be awaiting transportation, and1, with Colonel Plumer's forces on half rations, there now seems little likelihood of the immediate relief of Maf eking, though neither from this .quarter nor from Lord Roberts 6r General Buller is there any direct news today. The government buildings at Oape Town narrowly escaped destruction by fire last night. The state papers, after being much damaged1, were removed. A Lorenzo Marques special says the Transvaal authorities are recruiting actively, and large numbers of French, Dutch and Belgian volunteers are con stantly passing through that place to join the Boer forces. NOT CHEERFTjj-. BUT BESIEGED. London, March 26. The Daily Mail publishes the following from Mate'king, Gated Wednesday, March 14: "We are still being heavily shelled. There have been several casualties. Skirmishing continues in the trenches. The native food question is becoming a difficulty. The Boers have broken the arrangement to respect the Sabbath by not firing and have seized the oppor tunity to extend their trenches." STRONG BOER FORCE MOVING London, inarch 26. The Times has the following from RouxviLfi, dated Saturday: "Commandant Olivier, with a strong force and fifteen guns is moving north of Lady brand. A large Boer convoy has been- seen from Basutoland pro ceeding toward Clocolan. General French may intercept it. BRITISH INVADE TRANSVAAL. London, March 26. A despatch to the Daily Telegraph from Kimberley, dat ed March 25, says: "Despatches brought in here report that a force of British cavalry has en tered the Tranvaal and penetrated to a noint eighteen miles north of Chris- tiania. The British forces at Fourteen strftams are beiner strengthened. A movement northward is expected soon." KIPLING'S MUSE. T wvndnn. March 26. A Bloemfontein correspondent of the Daily Mail tele graphing Saturday "says that Rudyard KiDling. who is hard at work assisting ; to edit the newspaper, "Friend," con- r ducted- by the war correspondents, has MMitrihntefl to it the following lines on the death at Ladysmith of G.

A letter received from Senator De- boe today, said by Wednesday there would be a big change in the attitude of the federal authorities. Federal in- terferance will come in the shape of an order from Secretary Root to Governor Beckham to return all militia arms be longing to the United States govern ment to the arsenal at Frankfort and; to disband his army. The Goebel assassination conspiracy cases were to have been taken up this morning before Judge Moore. The star witness, Golden, did. not appear. It w -announced that he was ill. Golcten's confesion is causing intense bitterness toward him by republican leaders. They have brought witnesses to disprove his evidence. DEBOE DOES NOT KNOW. Washington, March 26.

AS PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO RAISEl AND COLLECT TAXES BY THEIR ( WN LEGISLATION. Washington, March 26. Senator Da vis, of Minnesota, introduced in the senate today a substitute for the Porto Rican tariff bill, which provides for free trade between the United States and Porto Rico and extends the internal revenue laws with amendments over the islands.
