Hut when the Americans showed so much appreciation of tbe act, the Mexicans found they had made a mis take, and decided to lower and rehoist the flags, with the Mexican flag on top. Tne Americans declared such a transac tion would be an insult to .the United States flaar. Sunt. Danforth told the Mexicans that they would have to shoot him'- before they could haul down the American flag. The Mexicans were about to mob Dan forth, when Charles Hogsett, who , was with the Rough Riders in Cuba, inter posed with a six-shooter in each -hand. a iring from botn sides immediately en- sued, and Hogsett was instantly killed.

BULLER TURN , TABLES? Boers May Esoapo Him and Rem- force Those Facing Roberts. ( London. March 1. Lord Pundonald is assumed to have made a wide turning movement eastward, skirting Bulwana Hill, and Gen. Buller may reasonably be expected to be in Ladysmith with tbe bulk of his forces by tonight. Whether, like Roberts at Kimberley, be will be able to turn the tables on the retreating Boers remains to be seen. But, ; opinion here inches to the belief that, no aggressive movement can be immediately under taken by Gen. Bullera and Gen. White's forces, hence Lord Roberts is likely to soon have to face the enemy strengthened by large reinforcements from all sides, While it is generally realized that Lord Roberts' strategy is mainly responsible for the relief of Ladysmith, there is a feel ing of anxiety lest his plans suffer from the hordes Gen. Buller might let slip into the Free State. Evidently. Lord Roberts is awake to the situation. It is reported in London, but the news is notconflrmed that Gen. French has already . reached Bloemfontein. which is not improbable as tbe Boers, are scarcely expected, to make a stand there. ' , The significance of Gen. Kitchener's presence at Arundel is not yet explained. But, wherever he goes something is likely to happen and developments may shortly show strategic plans as interesting as tnose which culminated in tne deieat- oi Gen. Cronje. ; , Boers Repulsed at Mafeking. London. March 1.-A special from Cape Town says that a telegram has- been re ceived theTe from Mafeking, announcing that the Boers made a severe- , and pro tracted assault on Feh. 17th, but were driven off at all points, The truce which is usually observed Sundays was broken Feb. loth by another .fierce attack; but after determined fighting the Boers were repulsed with a loss of 40 . killed and wounded. The defenders who were able to take advantage of the shelter of earth works, lost only two killed and three wounded. - -T ' 38,000 More Men for Africa., London, March 1. In the house of lords today Secretary of State for War, the Marquis of Lansdowne, speaking of the relief of Ladyomitb and the capture of Cronje's army, said: "Two recent successes will not be made the pretext for the relaxation of our ef forts. In the ;week, ending March 3rd eight transports will leave England car rying 4,700 men; during the week ending March loth, fifteen ships, carrying 11 800 men will leave for South Africa, dor- ins the week ending March 18th, ; eleven ships with 9,000 men will sail, and dur ing the week ending March 24th nine ships with 8.900 men, are to sail. Fi nally, during the week ending March olst six ships, carrving o,2UU men, will sail, totaling about 33,000 men, and during the following month about 17, 800 men will be ready, for whom ships have not yet been allotted. Tbe stream of reinforcements will not run dry." LONDON GHOT70 DIXITJOUO. British KottI Themselves Uoars-a Over Ladyciaith's Itelisf. ; ' London, March 1. When the news "of tba n '.I- f of Ladjemith became generally icowa London literally went mad with joy, and throughout England the scenes witnessed have np parallel in toe memo-ries-of this generation. , The lord ..mayor of London Immediately , telegraphed his congratulations tp Gens. White and Boi ler. - When the queen received ! the news at Wiadsor the bells on the curfew tower of the castle were rung in honor of the event. -t The strain that for 118 days had kept the nation in terrible anxiety was re moved. The lord mayor showed at a window out of which hung a huge city imperial volunteer; flag, and the crowd yelled itself hoarse, , Staid : magnates grabbed flaring posters from newsboys and brandished "Ladysmith , Relieved" to the roaring throng. All thought of business was forgotten. Nothing, could be done on the stock exchange except sing "God Save the Queen," and cheer. No one wanted to trade on such a day as this. The stores put up their shutters and gave their employes a holiday. . The lord mayor ordered a holiday for the city schools. Tons of fireworks are being bought In preparation for elaborate celebrations tonight. V . ' ' ' ',. In several provincial towns effigies of of President Kruger and Gen. Cronje were paraded through the streets and maltreated. At Glasgow an effigy of President Kruger was subjected to indigo nities at the foot of the queen's statue. ; Over 1,000 university and college stu dents paraded the streets of London sing ing "Rule Britannia'' and cheering. Why and' How an Undertaker Should. Advertise. By Observations , In yesterday's Free Press wd, read that Pyle is dead and that he made a file of money by advertising he made t by manufacturing and selling soap powders but that is another story, as Rudyard Kipling would say. - In tbe same issue of; The Free Press we And an interview, of.: your reporter and our genial mayor describing his quandary at! properly t advertising; his business of "undertaker" and setting forth the merits of his ability, as a . graduate of a Baltimore college,, in planting, hie patrons with artistic skill and safety, in ease and comfort, below the? earth's level, fa a stylish; ;ornameuta4or solid case as the case may be-with bis guar antee of perfect satisfaction, and so forth fl,nd so on. , - . Mr, Webb is entirely too modesty Deeming his services worthy to the pub lic he should not hesitate . to tell - it, to emphasize it, to bring it before its mind. If he has an article to sell an, article of such general utility and value -as a coffin be should advertise it by all means and depict its merits and qualifications, so the people migbt learn and take advan tage thereof. The Free Press', kindly and rightfully offers its columns for pay to' the pur? J)08e, and ' Mr. ' Webb should use . them reely. s Thus the good people of the town an 1 county might be informed of tbe use and beauty of his - wares and ;. 'bis desir ability to serve them, with pleasure, and dispatch.. To increase, his business be might also institute an . occasional bar gain sale, with special, inducements to clubs of three or more. He might offer an extra casket to. family parties - pur chasing no less than five at a clip. He should by all means grant a liberal commission to physicians, who . thus might be induced to procure him a more liberal patronage. ' He might remember the editor with one of his handsomest caskets, a photographic embellishment of which .could be reproduced in bis ads, making tbe same more attractive. .Working hand in hand with tbe news paper and the doctor should materially increase his trade. Ladies might patron ize him more freely, were he to advertise a reduction sale of stylish coffins, say from $50 to 49.69; and to quicken the demand further be should state: "First come first served, only a few of those lovely burial cases left." His guarantee for 5 or 10 years should accompany each sale. An exchange of the article should be offered or money re funded if not entirely up to representa tion. ' ' ' . Further, Mr. Webb, as patentee of the celebrated ice shaving: machine, might combine the two departments and give the grateful public a coffin with an ice shaving attachment or a refrigerator bu rial case or something or other of a re freshing nature. ' This would commend itself to many, a traveler about to un dertake a journey across the Jordan. ' While matins a dash to escape.
