An Engagement Yesterday South of Brandfort, Mafeking Reported to have Received Supplies of Faod. NEWS FROM LADYSMITH IS MEAGRE ROBERTS SOON TO RKCEIVE A FRESH EQUIPMENT vF CAVALRY AND GUN HORSES THE CAPE DUTCH. London, March 31. The prospects of an early ending of the war are not so bright as they seemed a few days ago. The extension of the campaign int)o the African autumn with the prospects of Its lasting until mid-winter have seri ously altered the British plans. No preparations have been, made tor a winter campaign by the war office and tjhe coM weather equipment of the troops is only now going out. FROM ROBERTS. London, March 31. The war office has posted the following from Lord Roberts datjed Bloemfontein, last even ing: "Reports point to the enemy leaving Brandfort And proceeding in a north erly direction. The casualties in yes terday's engagement were more numer ous than at first reported. Officer killed two, wounded eight; rank and file killed 10; wounded 159; missing three."- There will probably be a general shifting, of camps on the part of the British, the new situation being mad the basis of a further advance as soon as the railroad is repaired. Lord! Roberts today reported to the war office that he bad received ciews from Colonel Baden-Powell, Mafeking, up to March 10, when tjne general health. of the garrison was good; the locally made gun, searchlight and ammunition working well, food holding out, and the paper currency which the British com (mander had issued was satisfactory. From Cape Town it is reported that Steyn has gone. to Pretoria after, ac cordiner to refugees, issuing an order that all British burghers refusing to join. the Boer armies shall be shot. The stories of refugees, however, are not always reliable. News from Ladysmith is meagre. Kroonstad, March 31. General Smuts today engaged the British south of Bradfort, at Mafet kop, and held them at bay six hours. The burghers fought well; casualties unknown. The Free Sate raad will assemble at Kroonstad April 2. FRESH MOUNTS FOR TROOPS. London, March 31. Next week there are expected to arrive at Cape Town 100,000 transport, cavalry and gun an imals. With these at his command Lord- Roberts will be able to (display some of that activity and mobility that characterized his movements before the relief of KimberTey. Opinions vary among parliamentary lans as to the measures to be adopted with regard to the rebellion in Cape Colony. The British colonists advise that too great leniency oe noi snown them. The conservatives here adopt this view. On the other hand. ne liberals, while desiring to see British supremacy m South Africa, think that any display of harshness will inevitably alienate the Dutch element and bring on another onr, in ft few years ttt? am SUPREMACY OF BRITAIN. Tt is said that the British ooiomai oi .... ... - r lhaf soumdled the colonies on tne , subject of what terms should toe offer ed the Boers at the close of the war. The answers are said to have been, without exception that British su premacy must be established and Boer Independence brougnx to u euu, at the same time measures must pe taKen to prevent the possipuuy oi su.un Two Business tr eses ; ttAit r,ifi.4 n! rfonff eetablfehedl i business. f Broflte" have averaged - $5000 per yea' for past 5 years; i .health- cmHy 1 last yjearrowvic;ii reason tor? elling. uuu cash. - V-J x; ; X A1 smMlVwell established busi ness located! mean court square, requiring toveBtment tof $200. .

The danger to the empire has been so great that it is not possible that any British government will venture to propose that the Boers retain their independ ence. ROBERTS WILL RELIEVE MAFEK ING. It now appears that Lord Roberts, as might have been expected, knew what he was about when he made no reply tb the anxious people fretting about Mafeking. The British field marshal pledged himself to (relieve Colonel Baden-Powell and he is not likely to break his promise. If he has not subordinated other important interests to this one object it Is because Lord RobertJs knew all theJame from reliable sources that the gsTiSon is by no means in such hard straits as has been represented. MAFEKING RECEIVES SUPPLIES. By some means or other, supplies have been received. The latest account from the besieged! village says that sup plies are being received, but) that there is a shortage of oatmeal, flour, imilk and- sugar. How these supplies have got intjo the garrison is a mystery. In any case, the news has greatly cheered the friends Of the British officers and privates who have endured five months of constant bombardment with a cheer fulness and hearty .humor that have amazed even the Boers. WHY OLD GUNS ARE ACCEPTED. Considerable idissatisfaction is ex pressed because the Orange Free State Boers have turned in to Lord Roberts very few of tiheir causers. But this is explained by the statement now of fered in explanation that before leaving for Kroonstad the Transvaal and Orange Free State Boers who elected to continue the struggle compelled those who had determined to surrender to deliver up to them their new rifles Thus the collection made by Lord Rob erts resembles the contents of an ar mory 100 years old.

The court of appeals held a session today in the court rooms, the first held there for over two weeks and entered an order moving the court to Louisville Mnn- Eav to hear the contest of the govern orship. The continued absence of re publican state officials and the drawing of a large sum of money from a local bank and tjhe departure of Mrs. Taylor today are causing gossip. If other mem bers of the republican administra.tiVn are to be arrested it will probably be done after indictments are filed in the Franklin circuit court.

The Bill Called Dp a Tariff Discussion. Porto Rican Bill Still Under Discus sion in Senate: ; .1- .-i'li Members of the House Getting- Beady for Its Reception. PLAN TO AVOID UNNECESSARY FRICTION AND TO BRING THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE HOUSE AND SENATE PROMPT LY TO A SETTLEMENT. "Washington, March 31. The houss today in committee of the whole en tered upon the consideration of the bill making appropriations for f ortification and coastf defenses for the year ending June 20, 1901. Mr. Hemenway, in. charge of the bill, briefly set forth it provisions The total amount carried for the work is $7,093,488. Since and ncluding 1899 the appropriations for this purpose aggregated $53,671,649. Of this sum $31,182,425 was carried in ths acts passed by the Fifty-fourth and Fifty-fifth congresses. Mr. ShatttKr" read a prepared speech upon the tar iff and expansion, both of which he ad - vocated. He was followed by Mr. Richardson, who criticised his state ments regarding the workings of th Dingley tariff law. It had no effect on. the wool market of the United States. Richardson said, unless it was to de press tjhe price, for the price. In the United States had not advanced nearly so rapidly nor greatly as in Europe. Turning to another matter Richardson said the expenditures and appropria tions of the two years ending June 30. ftoi, were $301,000,000 annually greater tlian those of two years preceding the .. war with Spain. That was what the republican administration was costing the government to maintain an empire. over and abov What tjhe republic cost. Mr. Richardson asked Mr. Hemen-, way What portion xf the expenses now being appropriated for the year end ing June 30, 1901, were properly charge able to the war with Spain. Mr. Hem enway replied that the expenditures in the Philippines were due to tftie war with Spain. The bill was' passed shortly before adjournment. In the senate today the- Porto Rican bill was taken up as unfinished busi ness, and after a lengthy debate uhe senate adjourned without action. The passage of the Foraker Porto Riciao government and tariff bill in its present shape being assured in the sen ate, members of the house are getting? ready for its reception. Representa tive Dick, of Ohio, thinks that ablu tion of the problem will be found In a simple motion to non-concur In the sen ate amendments to the original house bill, with the request1 for a conference. In this way, the dangers of a wrangle over the. civil government and compro mise features will be .avoided and a measure will be perfected In conference which will be satisfactory to - botlh hpuses. It is not proposed, to maKe any changes in the work of the senate. This plan, it is understood, has the approv al of Speaker Henderson and the com mittee on rules. The influence of the such an arrangement tbat Che neces- such an aramgement that the neces sity of appeals to party loyalty may not be forced on the republican lead ers in the house. General Otis cables the secretary of war that he has forwarded by mail a comprehensive reply to a resolution of inquiry offered in the senate by Mr. Pettigrew concerning the importation and sale of liquor in the Philippines and the charges of drunkenness among: the Soldiers. General Otis explains that the report is too long to sendl by cable. He gives the number of arrests among the soldiers for drunkenness and disorderly conduct and the number of courts martiaL growing out of the use of intoxicating liquors, so that com parison may be made as to the morale ox the ropos wnen uiey the Philippines and now,. -rst weilt to Nice Juicy Oraaigea;;80 and 25 eents per dozen.
