DkOWN'S IRON BITTBRS
FOR A WINTER CAMPAIGN
PKEPAIATION8 Bf IG HADE TO
HOLD BLOEMFOSTEIS
Against Surprises-Roberts Awaiting
RemnnDii and Winter lothing
for Iroopi-Rr ibnnt an f GatHCre
at a ftiandstlll- Pro-Boer Meeting
in London.
London, April 10. 5 a. m. Britons
lare now beginning, though reluctantly,
to realize that Lord Roberts is in for a
"Wir.icr ci.:ripaig-n, lastir. seveial
months. This Is the end, in a few words
of the high hopes based upon Lord
Roberts' brilliant dash to Kimberley
and Bloemfontein.
Preparations are being made to hold
BloemfonLein against surprises. Lord
Kitchener has been given an important
duty, being responsible for the protec
tion of the railway, while Lord Rob
erts is waiting for re-mounts and Win
ter clothing for the troops, whose thin
cotton khaki uniforms and boots are
worn out.
General Brabant and General Gatacre
are both at a standstill. Lord Roberts
will probably for some time confine
his operations to clearing the Free
State behind him of raiders and to re
lieving Mafeking, for which purpose
apparently the Kighth Division, now
arriving at Cape Town, has been order
ed to Kimberley.
Lady Sarah Wilson and other Mafek
ing correspondents send diaries of the
doings there, showing that the Boers
have tried, by abandoning their
trenches, to lure the besieged out into
a mined ambush. Fortunately the Brit
ish engineers discovered the mine, cut
the wire communication, and unearthed
250 pounds of dynamite and war gela
tine. What the chances are for an advance
to Pretoria may be judged from the
fact that only from six to ten thousand
horses are on their way to the Cape
and from the further fact that the
military tailoring departments only
within the last three weeks began mak
ing woolen kahki uniforms. It is said
it will take at least two months to pro
vide 200,000 uniforms.
Mr. Steyn's address to the Free
Stater Raad at Kroonstad is confirm
ed. The Fisch-Wolmarans deputa
tion has full power to negotiate for
peace, subject to the Raad sanction.
Lady Roberts will remain at Cape
TTwn. The Duke of Westminister, the
Duke of Marlborough and Lord Henry
Cavendish Bentinck have gone to the
front.
London, April 10. The Bloemfontein
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
says:
"The railway and telegraph are work
ing well. Works and trenches have been
prepared in suitable positions around
Bloemfontein. The greatest vigilance is
exercised. Some of the troops sleep in
the trenches.
Confirmation has been received of the
report that the Boers are in laager in
considerable force, with guns, at Don
kerspoort, eighteen miles southeast.
The British scouts report another body
still closed. The Boer patrols have
grown very daring, venturing much
tlAA for n 1 1 r- t jT t c '
'Tne movement of troops continues
with bewildering frequency, brigades
and divisions appearing and disapper
ing at brief intervals. No specific ac
counts of such movements are permit
ted. "Some re-mounts were fired on yes
terday on the railway, while they were
on the way here from the south. The
enemy are reported to be in considera
ble numbers to the southeast of the
line.
"The Boers are also apparently feel
ing their way frequently to the west of
the line. A party has been thrown for
ward and has re-occupied the laager at
Paardeberg, probably to search for
buried arms and ammunition."
London, April 10. Henry M. Hynd
ham, the socialist leader, and others,
held a pro-Boer meeting last evening
at the Shoreditch town hall, London.
An immense crowd gathered outside
and sang patriotic songs. Mr. Hynd
ham's speech was several times inter
rupted, the "patriots" and others sing
ing "Rule Britannia."
There were other disturbances and
numerous "patriots" were expelled
from the hall.
Mr. Hyndham displayed a bottle
thrown upon the platform, declaring
that it contained vitriol. A pro-Boer
resolution was carried.
A large body of police preserved or
der outside.
Kimberley, April 9. Fifty-two pris
oners who were captured at Boshof,
have arrived here. Only three are
Dutchmen, the others being French
men, Germans and Russians.
Carnaravon, Cape Colony, April 9.
Kinsardt was formally re-annexed to
Cape Colony April 1st, amid the cheers
of the assembled troops.
A large number of insurgent colon
ists, including many of their leaders,
are now imprisoned here. Colonel Dru
ry's column, including the West Aus
tralians and Canadian Mounted Rifles
and artillery, left here yesterday for
De Aar.
London, April 9. The amazing activity
of the Boers southeast and southwest of
Bloemfontein continues the Boer com
mands seemingly coming and going
throughout a wide region as they please,
but taking good care not to throw them
selves against strong bodies of the Brit
ish. The retirement of the Irish Rifles
from Rouxville to Aliwal leaves General
Brabant without communication with the
other British forces. He has 2000 or 3000
colonials holding a fine defensive country,
but he is apparently invested, so far
as London knows. Telegraph and railroad
communication with Bloemfontein are
kept up, as usual, brut nothing comes
through for public consumption. Lord
Roberts' last message was dated April
6th and the last unofficial message bore
date of April 7th. The absence of news
as usual disheartens the people and pro
duces an altogether discouraging effect.
The last unofficial message notes that
good spirits at Bloemfontein are continu
ing and tells of the arrival of animals and
two fresh cavalry regiments. Lord Rob
erts has now fifteen thousand mounted
men altogether.
In the Orange Free State the situation Is
complex, with scanty material for form
ing a correct estimate of the situation.
' Better late than never." It
is best, however, to be never
late about taking Hood's Sarsap
arilla to purif yotsr blood. Take
it DOW.

Washington, April 9. The Navy De
partment has received from J. N. Strip
ling, United States District Attorney
for the Southern district of Florida, a
statement of the results of the proceed
; ai conduc 1 by him ' efore the f'ourt
in that district, in the matter of con
demnation of prizes taken by American
warships during the Spanish-American
war.
It appears from his statement that
there were 27 ships dec lared prizes and
24 captured vessels were released and
restored to the owners by decree of the
prize court. These were: E. Raoul,
Pilgrim, Greenan Castle, Three Bells,
Franklin, Paquette, A. Suuarez, Es

cargo.

mington, Algonquin and Porter, realized
$6504 for ship and cargo.
Tres Hermanos, captured by the
Foote, Terror and Machias, realized
$5384.
The Pinero, captured by the Castine
and Newport, realized $629.
In the case of these four vessels, the
Attorney-General is considering the ex
pediency of refunding the net proceeds,
j on the ground that the owners of the
I vessels were Cuban sympathizers.
' The other twenty-three vessels de-
I clared prizes disposed of were :
I The Candita, captured by the Cush-
! Ing and Wilmington, realized net $939.

THE ASIATIC SQUADRON
Will Not be Maile Kmnl er at Ibis
Time.
Washington, April 9. The difficulty in
securing a sufficient number of sailors to
man the new battleships and other naval
craft which are being turned out by our
ship builders has led to the renewal in
some quarters of the suggestion that some
of the larger vessels of Admiral Watson's
squadron be withdrawn from the Philip
pines to make up the complements of the
new ships at home.
It is stated at the Navy Department,
however, that no action in that direction
has been determined upon, and in view
of the expected arrival on the Asiatic
station within a fortnight of Admirals
Remey and Kempff. and the ensuing di
vision of the naval force on the station
Into two squadrons, It is not contemplated
that any change will be made.
The Navy Department officials realize
that for the purposes for which the navy
is now employed in the Philippines small
light draft gunboats are more valuable
than big battleships and monitors, with
their numerous crews. Still conditions in
the East are so unsettled as to make a
withdrawal of any portion of the large
United States force doubtful at this time,
in v;ew of the possibility of wholesale de
mands for protection of American Inter
ests from points on the mainland of Asia.
This possibly bas influenced the Navy De
partment in thje disposition of the ships in
the East, though it is also possible that
Admiral Watson himself has seen fit to
give the necessary orders without instruc
tions from Washington. It has been ar
ranged that an American warship will
be at hand for some time to come at no
less than three properly distributed points
on the mainland, which will serve as
stations of refuge in case they are need
ed. Thus, at Hong Kong, there are now
two vessels, and they will be from time
to time relieved by others needing repairs, j
At Foo Chow, opposite Formosa, and
about half way up tha coast of China, the I
Yorktown will spend some time in dry
dock. The Castine is undergoing repairs
further north at Shanghai, and the
Wheeling Is lying in the mouth of the
river at Taku, as sentinel for the North
ern provinces.

DEWEY Wil l. WITHDRAW.
Ibe Admiral Hay Not be m Candidate
for Ibe Presidency.
New York, April 10 A Washington
special to the Evening World says: "It
Is asserted this afternoon on what
seems to be good authority that Ad
miral Dewey has decided to withdraw
as a candidate for the Presidency, and
that within a few days he will formal
ly announce his decision.
"His brother-in-law, John R. Mc
Lean, is alleged to be responsible for
this latest move.
"Within forty-eight hours Admiral
Dewey has been in consultation with
Democratic leaders and others antago
nistic to President McKinley and the
opinions then exprsed, together with
unfavorable or non-committal views
voiced by the newspapers decided him,
it is asserted, to withdraw from the
contest."
Washington, April 10. -Admiral Dewey
said to-night that the report published in
a New York afternoon newspaper, to the
effect that he intended to withdraw his
candidacy for the Presidency, was all a
mistake, that he had never given any one
whatever any such information.
Richmond Primary Election.
Special to The Landmark.
Richmond, Va., April 10. The mu
nicipal primary here to-day was one of
the largest in recent years. There
were probably 10.000 votes polled. Up
to midnight the returns from only
about half a dozen precincts out of
twenty-four had been received at head
quarters. The count will hardly be
completed before to-morrow evening.
The indications are that all of the in
cumbents of the general offices have
been renominated. The only contest
regarded as in serious doubt is that for
City Sergeant, in which H. Claiborne
Eppes was opposed by ex-Sergeant J.
C. Smith. The vote seems very close.
Precincts thus far heard from are fa
vorable to him, but it is believed the
larger wards up town will pull Eppes
through safely. Auditor Warren, Clerk
Saville, of the Chancery Court; Clerk
Christian, of the Hustings Court, and
High Constable Garrison seem practi
cally certain of nomination.
THE BOER PEACE COMMISSION
ERS. Naples, April 10. The Boer peace
commissioners, Messrs. Fischer, Wel
maraans and Wessels, arrived here to
day and were welcomed by Mr. Muller,
the representative of the Orange Free
State, and Mr. Van Boeschoten, the
secretary of the Transvaal legation at
Brussels. They will remain here for
some days. Messrs. Muller and Van
Boeschoten went on board the Kaiser
and had a long conference with the en
voys. It is asserted by passengers that
the peace commissioners are empower
ed to open negotiations for an accepta
ble peace or for a truce, with a view to
subsequent negotiations.
The Corriere d'ltalia this evening
publishes an In cview,wtv ,r. Fischer
representing him as naving said: "Lord
Roberts will never reach Pretoria, as
he would have to pass through an im
practicable desert."
THE TELEGRAPHERS DISPUTE.
Atlanta, Ga April 10. President
Powell has wired the president of the
Southern railroad system laying be
fore him the position of the telegraph
ers in the pending controversy over
wages and asking his intervention with
the view of settling the differences
peaceably and without a strike.
Mr. Powell, president of the Rail
road Telegraphers, says he will be will
ing to leave the disputed points to W.
H. Baldwin, Jr., president of the Long
Island railway, and abide by his de
cision or to three responsible and fair
minded citizens of Atlanta.
ENCOUNTERED A TERRIFIC GALE
Halifax, N. S., April 10. The steamer
Cairncrag, Captain Gibson, from Da
rien, Ga., via Norfolk, bound to the
Continent with a cargo of lumber, put
in here this afternoon for repairs. She
encountered a terrific gale on Friday
last, which continued up to Sunday
night, during which her deck was re-,
peatedly swept, steering gear disabled,
rails on the starboard side carried
away, bulwarks broken and part of the
deck load washed off. The steamer
also had a heavy starboard list and will
be detained several days repairing.
NORTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATS.
Raleigh, N. C, April 10. The Demo
cratic State Convention will meet here
at noon to-morrow to nominate a full
ticket. For all the offices except Gov
ernor there are a number of candi
dates and it will take several ballots to
make a nomination. For Governor.how
ever, Hon. Charles B. Aycock,of Wayne
county, is the only candidate, all the
others having withdrawn from the
race. The last of these was ex-Attorney-General
Theodore E. Davidson,
who decided to-night not to let his
name go before the convention. This
assures Aycock's nomination to-morrow
by acclamation.
NOT A CANDIDATE.
Washington, April 10. Judge Henry
C. Caldwell, of Arkansas, who has been
extensively spoken of as a candidate
for Vice-President and who has receiv
ed a great number of letters urging
him to agree to accept that position in
case it should be tendered him, has
written a letter to Senator Jones, of Ar
kansas, who is his personal friend, in
which he says he cannot consent to
such use of his name and that his reso
lution in this matter is absolutely ir
revocable. ARRIVED AT ST. HELENA.
Island of St. Helena, April 10. The
Niobe and the Milwaukee have arrived
here with the Boer prisoners. Their
health is good with the exception of
four cases of measles, necessitating the
Milwaukee being quarantined.
ANOTHER VICE-PRESIDENTIAL AS
PIRANT. Minneapolis, Minn., April 9. The Jour
nal says:
Former Congressman Charles A. Towne,
of Duluth. is a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Vice-President.
Judge Caldweli, of the United States Cir
cuit Court, has declined to permit the use
of his name in this connection, and
Towne's candidacy is predicted on the
Judgefs declination. The demand for
Towne's nomination i said to come from
the gold Democrats pnd Republican anti
imperialists of New England.
It is asserted that Bryan would be glad
to have Towne for a running mate.
TO UNSEAT CLARK-
THE MONTANA SENATOR ROT
TITLED TO HIS HEAT
As Senator from Montana Tbe Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elec
Alone Decide by a Unanimous Vote
j Against Him The Outlay or Roncy
1st Past Elections in Hontana.
Washington, April 10. The Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections to-day
decided by a unanimous vote to recom
mend the adoption of a resolution declar
ing that the Hon. W. A. Clark, of Mon
tana, is not entitled to occupy his seat as
a Senator from Montana.
This decision followed a two hours' ses
sion, at which the members spoke at
length on the question. Senator Harris,
of Kansas, said that whatever Mr.
Clark's offenses, they were but little
worse than the methods pursued by Con
gressman Campbell and ex-State Senator
Whiteside in their efforts to expose th
Senator, and he Insisted that if the re
port was tp be antagonistic to Mr. Clark,
it should at the same time relate in full
detail the course pursued by the two
principal witnesses against him.
Senator Pettus practically agreed with
Mr. Harris. The consensus of opinion of
the committee was that tbe cumulative
character of the testimony should be con
sidered rather than any one especial fea
ture. Senators Chandler and Turley were di
rected to prepare the report. It Is expected
to be presented at an early day.
There were many expressions in the
committee favorable to Senator Clark
from a personal point of view and more
than one Senator gave utterances to
doubts as to whether he had actual per
sonal part in knowledge of the expendi
ture. Others expressed the opinion that
the Senator was in a certain sense the
victim of environment and of habit. The
outlay of money in past elections in Mon
tany was dwelt upon as one of the ex
planations of the liberal expenditure in
this case.
Senator Turley was among the Senators
who vigorously dissented from the view
that Mr. Clark could have been uninform
ed of the use of money to promote his
election.
Senator Clark was at the Capitol when
the announcement of the action of the
committee became known. He was sur
prised at the result, but refused to make
a statement until after consultation with
his friends and attorneys. He bore him
self with his usual composure.
Minneapolis, Minn. .April 10. A Butte
(Montana) special says: The report of
the Senate committee against Clark
did not create much surprise in Butte,
his home. His son, who was his chief
representative in his Senatorial cam
paign, received the following to-day:
"Washington, D. C To W. C. Clark:
Report of committee will be adverse.
Don't let this worry you. I will be
vindicated either here or in Montana.
"W. A. CLARK."
Some of Mr. Clark's friends here pre
dict that he will resign and return to
Montana for vindication.
TROUBLE THREATENED.
Washington, April 10. It would be
not surprising in the view of some of
the officials here if the recent action of
Nicaraguan filibusters in landing on
the Isthmus should result in involving
at least three of the Central American
republics in difficulties. Reports re
ceived here have indicated that trou
ble was brewing in Colombia for some
time past, and there have been frequent
rumors of the intention of Nicaragua to
attack Costa Rica. It appears that the
Nicaraguans have now actually made a
landing, though it is not clear whether
their movement is directed against
Nicaragua or Costa Rica. The point
where the party landed Is on the Pa
cific side of the Isthmus, and the party
made its way to a place named David,
near the boundary line between Costa
Rica and Colombia, but within the
lines of the tract of territory claimed
by both nations. The Government of
Colombia has taken steps to send a
force against the filibusters, assuming
that they are on Colombian soil, and it
is possible that the Government of
Costa Rica will do likewise. In that
case there may be complications.
Meanwhile to look after American in
terests in case of trouble, the cruiser
Detroit has gone into the Gulf of Chiri
qui. which is on the Gulf side, but is
the nearest port of access to David.
THE CARTER CONSPIRATORS.
New York, April 10. Contrary to the
opinion which has prevailed that Ben
jamin D. Greene, Colonel John F. Ga.y
nor, E. H. Gaynor and W. T. Gaynor,
indicted for conspiracy and embezzle
ment in the Carter case, would be dis
charged from custody on account of the
refusal of Judge Brown in the United
States Court to grant an order remov
ing them to Georgia for trial, it was
said to-day that Judge Brown may hold
the indicted men until additional evi
dence is taken before a United States
comiiAissioner. Judge Brown refused to
grant the order last Wednesday on the
ground that there was a lack of evi
dence to prove the indictment.
The authority for this statement as
to the future conduct of the case said
that the outcome depended entirely
upon the action of the Georgia District
Attorney, who is directing the proceed
ings. He is empowered to request the
court to hold th. se indicted until ad
ditional evidence be taken or he may
secure a new indictment, have the pris
oners discharged, re-arrested and tried
on the new bill.

movement was not made as a means of
attacking Costa Rica on the south, as
was assumed, but rather that the inva
sion Is directed against Colombia.
The fact that the Invading band sail
ed down to David In a boat loaned by
the government of Nicaragua, the Mo
motombo, is regarded as significant,
particularly as the boat was returned
to that government after the landing of
the expedition. Senor Calderon has
heard nothing of the invaders since
their appearance on Columbian soil, but
believes that they contemplate the ac
quirement of the entire Isthmus.
General Herrara, the leader of the in
vading force, according to Senor Cal
deron was formerly musician in one of
Colombia's military bands, who left that
country for Venezuela and afterwards
went to Nicaragua, where his rise In
military affairs evidently has been very
rapid.
GEN. WHEELERS SEAT IN CON
GRESS. RlrmlnRham. Ala., April 11. The first
positive information as to the probable
action of General Joe Wbeeler, regarding
his seat in Congress, was made public to
day in a letter received by William Hunt
ing, of the Florence, Ala., Herald, from
the General, dated at Washington on the
9th instant, which reads as follows:
William Bunting, Florence, Ala.:
My Dear Sir: When W. J. Wood was
here (about three weeks before the writ
ing of this It tter) I asked him to tell the
Governor the situation, with tbe hope
i that the Governor would immediattlv or
der an election. I ulso stated to Judge
Wood, both personally and In writing,
that I would devote myself to the inter
ests of the district until the arrival of my
successor. I feel more deeply than I can
express the embarrassing position In
which I have been placed.
With high regards, truly your friend,
JOSEPH WHEELER
Governor Johnston has taken no action.
GENERA LEE TO COMMAND.
Washington. April 11. The President
to-day issued an order merging the De
partment of Havana and Pinar del
Rio, Cuba, under the command of Gen
eral Fitzhugh Lee. with headquarters
at Quemados. The change will take
effect May 1st. At present General Lud
low Is in command of the Department
of Havana, which is to be amalgamated
with Pinar del Rio.
Quemados is the present headquar
ters of the Department of Pinar del
Rio and is the site of the camp where
the major part of the American garri
son is quartered. The fact that General
Lee is to retain his headquarters there
is regarded as an evidence of the fact
that his duties are to be purely mili
tary and that he will have nothing to
do with the civil administration in Ha
vana. MR. MACRT'M HURLS THE LIE.
East Liverpool. Ohio. April 11.- Hon
Charles E. Macrum, ex-consul to Preto
ria, S. A. R.. said to-day, regarding the
statement that Consul-General Adelbert
Hay had failed to find any evidence of
the consular mail being tampered with
during Mr. Macrum's stay at Pretoria,
said: "This is such a palpable perversion
of the truth that it is impossible to allow
the matter to pass unnoticed, as it sems
to have come from the State Dartment.
This statement is on a parallel with the
malicious representations which camp,
from the same department before I reach
ed this country. If proofs of all my
charges are not on file at the consulate in
Pretoria it is because they have been wil
fully abstracted therefrom. In short, I
want to say that the statement published
to-day is a lie, nothiffe more or le.--. I
have been slandered and maligned until I
have become tired of it."
THE STORAGE OF CONTRABAND
LIQUOR.
Washington. April 11. The Secretary of
the Treasury has received a report from
the special agent who has conducted the
investigation of the reported use of the
custom house at harieston, 8. C, for the
storage of contraband liquors for illicit
sales. The searc h of the building by tha
inspector and a number of assistants re
sulted in the finding of a cask containing
about fifteen gallons of rum, and thirty
nine ten-gallon kegs, from which the li
quor had recent!', beep taken. The rum
was found in th t asement and the empty
kegs in the attic. A number of officers and
employes of the custom house were asked
for an explanati' n of the finding of ths
liquor, but all dteclatmed having any
knowledge eonceri Ing it except one of the
night watchmen v I o admitted having al
lowed some of his friends to keep ths
liquor there. Other testimony disclosed in
formation which l !s the officers making
the investigation to believe that the liquor
belonged to a f-rtain individual in
Charleston who has a wholesale liquor
dealer's license. Tl i conclusion of the of
ficials is that a Vi rt;;in deputy collector
is responsible for tbe storing of liquors
in the custom hoi and that several em
ployes had full I i w ledge of it. The re
port is aocompa n i i i- copies of tbe tes
timony taken. Th Treasury officials havs
taken no action igard to the matter,
but there seem- I be no doubt that ths
guilty parties Will ! immediately brought
to justice.
