The war office today received the following dispatdh from Lord Roberts. ''Bloemfotnteini. Dewetsdorp was oc cupied by Chermside without opposi tion at 9:40 o'clock this morning." London, April 25. Ini a despatch to the war office Lord Roberts reports the following casualties prior to the occu pation of Dewetsdorp this morning: Officers killed, two; wounded, three. Men wounded, twenty-two. Another despatch from General Rob erts sent from Bloemfontein today says: "The enemy retired in, fiont of Wepener last night and fled north eastward along Ladybrand road. Their numbers are between faur and five hundred." The war office ihas also received the following from Roberts: "Bloemfontein. Pole-Carew's di vision reached Roodekop yesterday without casualties." Miazerui, Orange Free State, April 25. On breaking up of bivouac taiS morning Brabarit and Hart discovered that the Boers who fell back towards Wepener yesterday had advanced dur ing the night several miles nearer to Strauss form, which is a favorable po sition for resistance. Colonel Dalgetty was severely at tacked with six guns this morning, probably with a view to preventing him from assisting the relief column. It seems that yesterday Dalgetty was practically relieved, but the offen sive attitude assumed by the Boers this miorning shows that to have been erroneous. General Hart is behind Brabant's di vision, which is waiting for the for mer to come up. Thirteen British wounded were re moved to Mafeking at midnight and placed in the English ohurch. Evening. Generals Hart and Bra bant covered only a short distance to day and, fiinding a strong force op posed to them, bivouacked on the ground they had occupied. Firing has been desultory and casualties very slight. The British are edging up towards the Bas'utoland border. Persistent rumors are in circulation that Commandant Olivier, with 1500 men, is preparing to attack Hart's rear. There is no sign of the advance of Rundle from Dewetsdorp. STRATEGY OF THE BOERS. London, April 25. The Boers ap pear to have elected to play the game (of war in the Orange Free State on a large scale. Their forces occupy a line extending in more or less compact formation from Kroonstaid to Wepe ner, by way of Brlandflort and Tha banchu, Thus it will be seen that they cover the British right flank ard command the attention of Lord Rob erts on his own account. Their be sieging troops at,, Wepener appar ently are not isolated at all, but are ? AAnstant touch wfth the rest of the Boer army, carefully preserving line of retreat.

Lord Roberts' right flank, under the changed conditions, must become his front; his fnont his left flank, his rear his right flank.

He has been won over by those fa voring the park, a fact which is most encouraging. W. A. H. FATAL FIRE IN NEW YORK. Three Lives Lost in a Burning Tene ment House. New York, April 25.

FORAKER, NASH, GROSvENOR AND DICK CHOSEN AS NATION AL CONVENTION DELEGATES INDIANA CONVENTION ALSO CONDEMNS TRUSTS. Columbus, April 25. The Ohio re Publican state convention met for bus iness this morning. In part the plat form says: "The republicans of Ohio in con vention assembled hereby renew their faith and allegiance to the declaration of principles made by the republican party at St. Louis in 1896, and they de clare today the same to be in all re spects the true principles of the re publican party. "Under its wise and beneficent ad ministration the republican party passed into law the Dingley tariff (bill and restored prosperity to the coun'cry. The foreign trade of the United States today is greater than ever before. Ana in this field of effect the United States is outstripping all the nations of the world . "We cordially endorse the wise, pat riotic and memorable administration of President McKinley, whose signal achievements in war and in peace, m statesmanship and diplomacy, mark an epoch in the history of the nation, and whose brilliant success justifies and demands, in the' highest interests of the country, the uninterrupted con tinuance through another term of his great but uncompleted work. Con fronting unprecedented requirements at home and unexampled responsibilities abroad, he has met them with courage, fidelity and strength, which have giv en him an enduring place in the con fidence and affection of his country men. "Every pledge of his administration has been faithfully redeemed. It has dispelled business depression, restored the protection of American labor and industry, reawakened) universal confi dence, re-established prosperity and assured to labor the steadiest employ ment and highest pay. It has brought to agricultural interests a betfter con dition than for many years, opened new fields of enterprise and new m -for trade, fixed the gold standard upon the firm foundations of law, made our national currency larger in volume ana sure in value and lifted our national credit to 'the highest plane any nation has ever reached." The platform also declares for legis lation regarding the merchant marine. In regard to trusts it says: "We insist 'that injurious combina tions shall be forbidden and that the so-called trusts shall ibe so resu'f from time to time and be so restricted as to guarantee immunity uom hurt ful monopoly and assure fair treat ment and protection 'to all competing industries."

Both bands did their utmost, but the seats were not ihalf filled, there not being over 400, men, women and chil dren, present. Aycock made a long" speech with no variations, wbile the other candidates simply anrou"r-e themselves. The only enthusiasm shown was accorded Aycock, and even that was of a mild order.

TIC TUBE SERVICE KILLED Entire Appropriation Stricken Out of Postoffice Bill by House Changes in Hawaiian Got- t ... , ernment Bill by Senate; Payment of Taxes Before Registration for Voting Omitted. No Imprisonment for Non-Payment of Taxes or Debt. PAYMENT OF TAXES iNOW EN TIRELY OUT OF THE BILL SEC RETARY OF TREASURY ASKED FOR REPORT OF NUMBER, LO CATION AND COST OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS. Washington, April 18. When the senate met this morning Mr. Piatt, of New York, was found to be occupying; the desk recently occupied by Mr. Quay, a very desirable location in front row on the republican side of the chamber, with Mr. Carter to his right and Mr. Chandler 'to his left. The conference report on the bill to provide a government for the territory of Hawaii was presented by Mr. Cui lom and explained. The conference committee, he said, had struck out pro visions requiring the payment of taxes before registration for voting anc in serted the provision that no person shall be imprisoned for non-payment, as he can be under the existing Ha waiian law, or for debt. That left the matter of payment of taxes entirely out of the bill, either before registra tion at any time. Mr. Cullom said "As I understand it all citizens of the United States and of the republic of Hawaii are authorized to exercise the elective franchise provided they are bona fide inhabitants. Mr. Bacon "And who have now the right to vote?" Air. Cullom "Yes." After further discussion the conference re port was agreed to. The resolution declaring Senator Scott, of West Virginia, entitled to re tain his seat in me senate, which had been reported arch 20 from the com mittee on privileges and elections, was taken up on motion of Mr. McComias. who made a statement on the suuj . and said the committee had examined it and reached the conclusion that there were no false pretenses In the case to warrant further investigation. A resolution offered by Mr. Tillmanv was agreed to calling on the secretary of the treasury for a report showing tfier number, location, character and aggre gate cost of each of the public buildings already erected or under construction, with the cost of sites in each, case. The agricutulral appropriation bill was then taken up and passed. The Alaska bill was then taken up, and without action the bill went over. The senate at 5 o'clock aajourned until tomorrow. The house resolved iitself into a com mittee a the whole this afternoon after swearing in William W. King, of Utah, with Mr. Dalzell in the chair, and the postoffice appropriation bil1 was "taken up. Mr. Moon,, of Tennessee, yielded! twenty minutes to Mr. Little, of Ar kansas, m opposition to the incTea&e'igt the appropriation for pneumatic tube service. After am extended debate hue chairman put a motion made by Mr. Moody to strike out the entire appro priation of $725,000. -Lhe motion waa agreed to by a vote of 87 to 50. ROOT'S REPLY. Washington, April 25. The secretary of war today sent to the senate his re ply to 'the Bacon resolution inquiring into the payment of extra allowancea to army officers in Cuba. The answer is comparatively fbrief and states that the authority to grant extra compen sation to the officers in question is found in the act of congress approved. (Continued on FlftJi Pags.)
