London, April 1. 4 a. nv Th War Office issued no further news to-night and the few dispatches received from the seat, of war bear evidence of hav ing been delayed by the censor. According- to a special from Pretoria- dated yesterday. Lord Roberts has commenced - his advance northwarfl. The dispatch say that there are daily skirmishes and that a big battle is Im minent. -'- - This, however, may refer ' to the operations preceding . the, engagement at r Karee Siding, which has apparently Cleared the way as well as secured an advantage of position whence the, next operations may be conducted.? . Tuckers division is now strongly oc cupying the Boer camp at Karee. Sid ing with the way clear to Brandfort,.. which is reported already evacuated,. Orders have been received at C-ue Town for the Eighth Division to be, disembarked and sent" north immo: diately on its arrival there. The Boer forces in the neighborhood of Paardeberg are reported to be active-, ly engaged in marauding and in at tempting to capture British -horses left on the veldt owing to their weak con dition. Much Kaffir looting is renorra ar Kipdam. An active campaign is in pro gress on tne part of the loyalists of Cape Colony for the annexation of the republics and the punishment of the colonials who serve in the Boer army. Meetings in support of this policy hare been held in many important centres under the auspices of the South Afri can League. .- The transportation of the nrisonera to St. Helena is arousing the anger of the Boers, . who threaten to retaliate by sending the British prisoners - to Koomatlpoort, reputed to be the worst fever den in South Africa. Bloemfontein, March '31. General Lord Roberts has sent a telegram of condolence to President Kruger on the death of General Joubert. Rudyard Kipling has written a poem on Joubert' s death, which appears in The Friend of the Free State. - - London, March 31. Lord Roberts to day reported to the War Office that he had received news from Colonel Baden- JPowell, at Mafeking, -up to March 10th, when the general health of the garri son and its spirits were good, the local ly made gun, searchlight and ammu nition were working well, the food was holding out well and the paper curren cy which the British commander has Issued was satisfactory. , From Cape Town it is reported that President Steyn has gone to Pretoria after, according to refugees. Issuing an order that all British burghers refusing xo join tne tfoer armies shall be shot. The stories of refugees, however, are notoriously unreliable. - The news from elsewhere is meagre." tnougn tne last reports rrom-Tfatai ra dicated the speedy clashing of the op posing armies. The War Office has posted the fol lowing dispatch from Lord Roberts, dated at Bloemfontein March 30th, evening: "Reports point to the enemy's leaving Brandfort and proceeding in a northerly direction. -The casualties in yesterday's engagement were more nu merous than at first reported.

Representa tives of Southern coal companies in this city to-day said they regarded the contents of the New Orleans dispatch announcing the sale of 2,000,000 tons of Alabama coal to an English syndicate at 75 cents a ton at the mouth of the coal pits, with 50 cents allowance for transportation to New Orleans, mak ing the low price of $1.50 a ton, as high ly improbable if not a gigantic hoax. J. C. Maben, of the Sloss-Sheffleld Coal and Iron Company, of Alabama, said: "The local demand for coal in the South, particularly in Alabama, is too great to spare any for foreign ship ment. r Coal cannot be bought for 75 cents anywhere in those mining re gions. The miners are selling all they can dig-for $1.20 to $L25 a ton. The freight rates to New Orleans were never lower than $1.25, and I dare say they are as high as $1.75 at the present time. The story is preposterous on its face.? A GREAT DEMAND FOR COAL. New Orleans, March 31. An Inter esting feature of the great increase in the local demand for coal has been a European Bteamers. Heretofore they have been accustomed almost without exception to load enough coal; at the European end to last, for the trip to this port and back again. They are now reversing the process and are coaling here for both ways, greatly to the ad vantage of the home trade. The reason for the change is the remarkable in crease in price on the other side, due to the South African war. A LARGE COAL DEAL. Charleston, W. Va., March 31. One of the largest coal deals ever made in this district was closed- here to-day by C. J. Wittenberg, president of the High Carbon Coal and Coke Company, of New York. The owners of twenty col lieries signed contracts with this com pany for the sale of all coal shipped by them east fcr: the ensuing year. These mines have a dally output of 8000 tons. A large r?rt of this coal wljl be exported from r owport News, Va,, and will reach ' r-!-a markets ' at which American trat has "never before found admittance. THE: STRIKE ENDED.

The Cabinet to- """" -v-"-... , rn t na naw uniiinmna. rnMaMniMta a a formally communicated to . the commis sioners within a day or two. It la known that it is the purpose of the President ta make the civil government of the Philip pines represented by the commission, su perior to the military in all matters per taining to the government of the Islands, not strictly military in character. It is believed that Judge Taft, before he ac cepted the chairmanship of the commis sion, had a perfect understanding with the President aa to the relations which should exist between the civil and mili tary authorities, and also that from the time the commission arrives In Manila, its authority will be supreme, under the President, as to all matters of govern ment. . Secretary Gage occupied some time at to-day's Cabinet session In making a statement of the receipts and expendi tures of the government. He stated that since July 1st. 1S99. there had accumu lated a surplus of revenue over receipt of about IS3.000.CCO. and that by the end of June of this , year it probably would amount ' to over $60,000,000. This surplus is accounted for by large receipts from customs, -and by a material reduction in the expenditures on account of the war. The Secretary Is of the opinion that the present rate of taxation might safely be reduced to some extent, and It was with a view to a possible recommendation to Congress by t' i President on the sifblect that the Secretary made his statement. - TnE KAViL POLICY BOARD To Tfark om flans far lataat Vmm mf Kaval 'ampnlgas, Cfreaalve aad Befeaalve. S Washington, March 80. The first meet ing of the Naval Policy Board has been called for April 15th, and thereafter the board probably will meet once a week un til it has reduced Its work to routine form. The work of the board .will be without precedent. The Intelligence Bu reaus of the War and Navy Departments have endeavored to compile and have In shape for use in case of hostilities. Infor mation respecting the resources In a war like way. of other nations, but this has been merely incident to other duties. The Policy Board Is to undertake this work on larger lines and probably will be guided by European methods. It will be its business to provide In advance and have ready for instant use completely worked out plans of naval campaigns, of fensive and defensive, appucable to any maritime power with which the United States may by any possibility come Into hostile conflict In the future. The prepara tion of these plans involves an enormous amount of work, theoretical and practi cal. The military and naval resources of foreign. countries must be ascertained to a nicety, and this lnfcnaUon must be renewed from the latest sources from time to time. Accurate coast charts and plans of defense must be secured In order to avoid as far as possible, the serious omission made by the British authorities In the case of the geography of the Trane- vaaL The War CoUege probably will be called upon to assist In the work by con tinuing- 'on an enlarged scale the plan ning of tne utilization - of the united Statea naval forces In defensive cam paign. Another branch of the work "win be the preparation of the plans for naval opera tions when the navy Is called upon to act in cor;vnctlon with the army, both of fensive and defensive. This Involves questions of harbor defense, and the pro tection or the naval stations. The Pearl harbor board Is now engaged In a scheme for the establishment and fortification of a naval station in that harbor, and the policy board probably will have to pass on the report and recommendations. La ter steps may be taken to consider the establishment of a naval atatlon on the Island of Guam. A THEATRE BURNED. Chicago, March 30. The Columbia Theatre, an old and popular playhouse. was destroyed by fire this afternoon. Total loss $190,000. It is attributed to hot coals dropping on the floor in the sixth floor apartments of the Iroquois Club, the leading Democratic Club of Illinois, and spread rapidly. In the rush for the street three women were over- i come. A fireman and a policeman vera injured. A Klaw and Erlanger Com pany, headed by "Rogers Brothers In Wall Street," was rehearsing and twenty men and women in costume rushed to the street and shelter else where. Many gallant rescues were made. The losses, mostly protected by Insurance, Include the Columbia Thea tre Amusement Company, - owner - of the building. $125,000; "Rogers Broth ers," scenery, eta, $35,000; Iroquois Club, $10,000.

Washington, March 10. The Navy Department baa Just received from Ad-1 znlral , Watson a copy of the report made to him by Lieutenant Gilxnore, of the circumstances attending the am buscade and capture of the Torktowa'a second cutter and crew at Baler. April 12th, fast The report la a concise, plain, yet thrilling account of the strategy at the mouth of the river, which resulted ta the lees cf the lives of several sail ors., and the taking In to, an eight months' captivity of the remainder of the little crew.- It appears for the first time from this report that Lieuenant GUmore did not violate his orders tn entering the river, but did so for the pole purpose of protecting two of the Yorktown'a officers whom he had been directed to land. The report, dated on the flagship Brooklyn, January B, 1100, ays: "On the evening of April 11th, the commanding officer of the York town sent for me and said he wished me the following morning to take charge of a boat, to land Ensign W. H. Btandley and a quartermaster, who wer ta make a reconnaissance to discover the whereabouts of the church defended by tne epanisn prisoners In Baler. Mr. Standley and the quartermaster were to be landed at the small cove to the eastward of the river running past the town of Baler, province of Principe. The commanding officer said he would not hamper me by orders, but directed me not to land, but to sound at the month of the river and ascertain the distance of the ship from the mouth. If necessary, I was to make a demonstra tion to call the enemy's attention from the people landed. About 4:20 a. m. of April 12th. I left the ship with the sec ond cutter. Ensign Btandley and a Quartermaster as passengers. The boat was armed with a Colt automatic B-mm. gun -in the bow, and ' the crew with Lee rifle and belts filled with ammunition.- . After mentioning the personnel of the expedition heretofore an sou need. Lieu tenant GlUmore continues: "We nulled In under muffled oars and landed Mr. Btandley and the quartermaster. It waa Juat early daybreak when we pulled out of the cove from the river's mouth. On nearlng the river I saw that a sen try on one of the numerous stations on the-beach had seen us. I thourht probably that he also had seen on land Mr. Btandley. so to let him think that X had been searching for the river. I pulled for It, sounded the bar. ascer tained the distance of the shin from the river's month, aad continued In for about 1000 yards, sounding slowly and making a rough sketch. Thla.1 thought, would make them believe that I had landed nobody, but was simply survey ing tne river. I knew that we would have to sustain the fire of the enemy as we came out. but I trusted to the Colt to disarrange their aim, which at best la not good. I was quite sure thai this would serve to put them off the Idea of any one landing In the cove; 1 have every reason to-believe It now. The left bank, the side toward the enemy, was covered, by high marsh grass and swamp land, and X knew that no outposts could be there: the right bank was steep, too, and covered with a dense growth, and from obser vation. I Judged the enemy had only their stations on the left side of the river. As we n eared the end of the swamp land. X waa about to glv or ders to return when we rounded the bend, and came full on an out poet on olid ground. He hailed us and fired a rifle as a signal. Before X could answer the hail, a volley was fired Into us at close range fifty and sixty yards. The effect of this volley was terrible. Mor rissey was killed Instantly, his brains being scattered over the boat and crew,, and Dillon was mortally wound ed, never recovering consciousness and dying shortly afterward in the boat. Seaman Rynders had his fingers cut oft the hand, but kept bravely to his star board stroke oar, the starboard oars were riddled and most of them shat tered: beside, the boat waa pierced by the Remington balls and made water fast. "As soon as possible after recovering the first shock we opened fire with Colt and 'rifles. The ambush was so com plete that we could not see at what to fire.' even the smoke. The Colt wes thrown out of action before the second volley, shattering the ammunition box and' cutting the loading tape. The or der was given to back oars, but aa only a few could be used the others being shattered the tide drifted us on a sand bank. Ellsworth. Edwards and Wood bury tried to swim the boat out. but did not succeed. The volleys were poured In on us on the left bank In quick succession, wounding mortally McDonald and Nygard., At this time I was under the tmpreasion that most of the crew were either . wounded or killed. The bodies of the men who had been killed had fallen on the slighter men. who were struggling la the bot tom of the boat.. The boat was cov ered with blood and presented a fear ful sight. The cries of the mortally wounded In the stern. of the boat, ask ing me to shoot them and not allow them to fall Into the hands of the sav ages, were heart-rending. At the same time could be seen, coming down the right bank of the river, a band of men armed with Remingtons, bows and ar rows, bolos and spears. I gave the or der to hoist the white flag, which was done by Rynders. who received a shot In the right wrist and dropped the flag. X thought the enemy Intended to- mas sacre all of us. so continued to fire, the lire of the enemy coming faster. We were now hailed from. the left bank In Spanish, the officer saying that If we did not cease firing and surrender be would kin us. I then surrendered. Be fore the officer on the left bank could get across, the savages -on the right bank came up, took us off the boat. robbed us of rings, watches, hats, cape. clothes, tn fact everything that (they could get at abort notice, tied our arms behind us with bamboo thongs and lined us up on the "beach to be shot. Those who had rifles loaded them and .bad them already cocked, when an offi cer came out ot the bush and ordered otherwise. We were then sent on board the boat, and after plugging np the boles made by rifle balls f ulled up the river. Firat JO'A . Duffer- -I'm fpirjjv . awiy lor Easter.
