NO OPPOSITION ATFADRESMITH Its Occupation Reported to War Office by Roberts. Colonel Pilch er Attacked on Leaving Ladybrand. "IS IT TRUE?" KRUGER TELE GRAPHS LORD SALISBURY REGARDING A MESSAGE FROM CHAMBERLAIN. London, March 29. The war office has received the following from Rob erts, dated Bloemfontein, 28: "General Clements occupied Faure spilth today without opposition. One nine-pounder and one Martini-Maxim were discovered in the prospecting shaft of a mine where a large quanti ty of ammunition was burled. "Arms are being surrendered gener ally and the Inhabitants are settling down. "Colonel Pilcher visited Iadybraod March 26. On leaving the town he was attacked by a part of the enemy One of his force was wounded and five are missing "During a skirmish north of the Modder river March 25 five men wer wounded and three are reported miss ing. Captain Sloane-Stanley of the Sixteenth Lancers and five men of that regiment were taken prisoners." The Duke of Norfolk has resigned th oHce of postmaster general owing to the fact that he is going to South Africa with the Sussex yeomanry. TALK WITH KRUGER. New York. March 29. A World cor respondent who interviewed President Kruger at Pretoria February 7 says: Kruger explained at length the ef forts which the British authorities made to seal up Delagoa bay and then told, of a message he sent Salisbury concerning It. He said he refused to have any more correspondence with Chamberlain, but frequently cabled Salisbury. In one cablegram he asked Salisbury to allow foodstuffs to enter through Delagoa bay or they would tx compelled to feed 3000 British prison ers in Pretoria on maize porridge. Salisbury did not reply, but a message signed Chamberlain explained that the embargo on foodstuffs had Deen raised three days before. Kruger laughed heartily when he told that the Chamberlain message was telegraphed back to Salisbury with the query, "Is this true?" The president added: "We have uot heard from Chamberlain since," and laughed for fully half a minute. Secretary Reits then told of the sec ond series of communications between the president and Salisbury concern ing prisoners who were taken by the British at Douglass, Cape Colon, and who, although they became citizens ot the Orange Free State, were being tried at Capetown for high treason. The president sent a cablegram di rectly to Salisbury demanding that the Douglass prisoners be treated only as prisoners of war and not as treason able subjects of her majesty, and stat ed that If they were executed reprisals would be made. Salisbury replied that If one of th Pretoria prisoners was injured both President Steyn and President Kruger would be hanged at the conclusion of the war. Th president thought that was harsh language to use. and accord ing to Reitz' statement replied in ef fect. "Go ahead with your hanging, but remember that your son. Lord Ed ward Cecil, is in Mafeklng." Kruget has no reply to this message. "My burghers are . fighting bravely." he said with much earnestness." and they will continue to do so until Great Britain asks for peace or withdraws her sol diers. We cannot expect to conquer several hundred thousand men in a day. but my burghers are going ahead rapidly, as you can see by looking at the place where we keep our prisoners. Even as your forefathers fought against great odds in the revolutionary war so are we struggling, and even as God was with you so He Is with us " It is reported that the prison trans ports will sail for St. Helena the end of this week. PLAIN TALK TO EGYPT. Brussels, March 29. Dr. Leyds, dip lomatic agent of the Transvaal, has drawn the attention of the Egyptian and Turkish govern ment to the fact that the Eng lish house of commons has admitted that six maxims were borrowed from the Egyptian army for use in the Transvaal war and has demanded ex planations for this breach of neutrali ty, declaring that unless the guns are Immediately returned the Transvaal will consider that the Egyptian gov ernment has abandoned neutrality and Is lending openly its assistance to Great Britain. No reply has been re ceived. TURK KICKS ON OUR PORK. But He Has Eaten Only $13 Worth of Tt a Year. Statistics Will Show. Constantinople, March 29. The porte has informed the United States lega tion that in future the importation of American pork will be prohibited, giv ing as a reason that the meat is inju rious to public health. Lloyd C. Griscomb, charge d affaires. protested energetically, demanding annulation of the measure. Washington. March 29.-rSecretary of Agriculture Wilson said he had no of ficial Information that Turkey has prohibited the importation of Ameri can pork. "If she has decided to bar out all pork." said the secretary. there could be no cause of complaint, but if American pork la discriminated against we bave good cause for pro test." It la nrobable that the action of the porte was taken on religioua grounds, as the religion of the Turks prohibits them from eating pork. statistics show that during the past five 'years the value of hog products exported to Turkey averaged $13 a year.

Mr. Seely Bays the Pans Medicine company did an $826,000 business last year ajid paid over $60,000 revenue tax Over 100,000,000 Laxative Bromo Qui nine tablets were made in Asheville, and the south consumed one and a half million bottles of Grove's Chill Tonic. As has been previously said, this big concern is leaving Aiii.evilie solely be cause of the Southern railroad's ex orbitant freight charges. "They charge us $1.53 per hundred on goods to St. Louis,' Mr. Seely today said to The Citizen, "and as all our . products are sent there for distribution, the item of expenses in this particular becomes formidable. Our goods are all shipped in 90-pound packing cases, the trans portation on each case costing us about $1.30. The charges from At lanta to St. Louis are only $1.32 pei hundred. We regret to leave Ashe ville, but the officials of the Southern have declared themselves unable to give us better rates, so we are forced to go elsewhere."

HE' DECLARES THEY HAVE RE PEATEDLY ABUSED THE WHITE FLAG AND THE GENEVA CROSS. -r V" ' -'- ' fondon, March 9. The most serious indictment of Boer methods of war fare yet appearing in England comes from Julian Ralph, the American cor respondent, in a letter from Kimber Iey published in today's Daily Mail In part it is as follows: "It is the war steadily and stealthily planned by the queen's Dutch sub jects and the Dutch republics for fully 20 years. For between four and six years they have been equipped for it. They began purchasing arms and plan ning defenses before the Jameson raid. Let no one fool you with a falsehood about that. Finally Kruger begged Steyn to declare war three years be fore Steyn consented. "Rid your mind of the notion that you are crushing two farmer republics. There is not a farmer in the two coun tries, and only one, the Free State, was a republic in any way except by mis naming. These people are herders of cattle, sheep and goats. The Boers' so-called farms are as nature made them, merely reaches of veldt whereon cattle graze. On each one he has put up a home, but the surroundings are almost invariably mort repellant and disorderly than any house I ever saw, except the cabins of freed slaves in the United States. Their camps and strongholds from which we have rout ed them are the filthiest places I hav known men of any sort to live in. "I have seen and heard sufficient to till- a page of the Daily Mail with ac counts of their cowardly and dastardly behavior before the yeomen at Kim berley. Here they killed our wounded and laid their bodies in a row after one of the forays out of town. Here they armed many blacks to fight against us, showing all the world how scandalously fraudulent were their exclamations of horror at the idea of our employing native Indian troops. "There has hardly been a battle In which the Boers have not abused either the white flag or the Geneva Cross or both. At Spion Kop our peo ple saw them loading Maxims in am bulances In order to get them safely away. The Boers shelled the funeral cortege of George Labram at Kimber ley, an American. "They fired on our ambulances When we entered Jacobsdal it looked like a city of doctors. Every man in the streets wore a Red Cross bandage on his arm. Those men were the men v&o had just been shooting us from be hind the garden walls. They have not been content with looting the houses of loyalists in the British colonies, but lu Natal, In scores of instances, they have smashed Into kindling and torn into ribbons whatever they did not want or could not carry off. Worse yetthey fouled the walls of the homes of defenseless women with obscene writings." JUDGE BATTLE DEAD: TOOK MAY BE 1UDGE PLACE HAS BEEN OFFERED BY GOVERNOR REPS .AND POPS IN CONFERENCE. Kaleigh, N. C, March 29. Special. Judge Dossey Battle of the Eastern Criminal circuit court is dead. The governor tenders the position to Charles A. Cook of Warren.
