PERSUADED TO SIGN PAPERS Havana INist Publishes Sensation Rela tive to Postal Frauds. Havana, June 13. The Post publishes a seusati uial story connected with the jH.stal frauds.

The next day he died. Two men holding such positions as those held by the callers would not have risked contracting yellow fever for any light reasons, so the signature and docu ment must have been a very, important matter. Spencer, the paper anuounces, gives the names of the men iu question, but The Post does not publish them, simply saying that both are prominently connected with the postal frauds.

Prolonged Session of Supreme Court Causes Com meat. Raleigh, Jane 13. There is great deal of talk among Democrats regarding the prolonged session of the supreme court and the fact that since it stopped hearing arguments it has actually filed fewer opinions than it did previously. The session is the longest in the history of. the state. It now appears that it will extend beyond the time fixed for the legislative session. There is no hesitation in saying that this delay is for a purpose and the Dem ocratic members of the legislature say they will not adjourn sine die so long as the court is in session. It is said farther that if time permitted the court . jroold be impeached for usurpation of the pow ers delegated to the legislature. The majority of the court is Republican, that of the legislature Democratic. It is known to the Democrats that the Re publicans' and Populists' plan is to se cure injunctions to interfere with the operations of the new eleotion law, and they will this week so complete that law as to checkmate any court from tying it up. SAMPSON GETS PRIZE MONEY Award Ii Made For the Destruction of Cervera'a Fleet. Washington, June 18. The United States court of claims has passed upon the suit of Admiral W. T.

The Spanish squadron is found by the court to have been in ferior to the American force .and a bounty of $100 therefore was awarded for every o'fflcer and man under Ad miral Cervera's command. The total amount of bounty money al lowed is $166,700, of which Admiral Sampson will receive $3,335, and Ad miral Schley about $3,000.

Man and Woman Arrested by Atlanta Detectives. Atlanta, Juno 13. Lewis S. Jervey, a young white man, and a Mrs. Mary artin have been arrested and placed in the tower pending an investigation of charges of selling postage stamps in large quantities in this city. Last fall the postoffice and Red Oak and East Point, two suburban towns close to Atlanta, were robbed, and the fact that Lewis Jervey has been caught with a large quantity of stamps in his possession and gave a large lot to the Martin woman to sell, leads the detec tives to believe that Jervey may have been in somo way implicated in the rob beries, and if not, that he may know a great deal about the matter. Jervey gives no satisfactory account of how he came in possession of the stamps. NEGRO THIEF IS CAPTURED. Varied Assortment of Itugs, Ktc, Ite turned to Their Owners. Asheville, N. C, June 13.

Xfi LORD ROBERTS MEETS BOTHA IN BATTLE British Troops Attack Boers Near Pretoria. HADE STUBBORN DEFENSE Burghers Occupied Strong Position aad Fought Desperately Forced Back After Several Hours of Heavy Fighting. London, Jane 18. After a wef k's si lence Lord Roberts has been heard from, his line of communications having been restored by a complete victory gained by Generals Methuen and Kitchener over General Dewett at the Rheinoster river. The Boer camp was captured and the burghers, it is added, were scattered in all directions. Lord Roberts, on being notified of the cutting of hisline6f com munications sent Kitchener to join Me thnen. Lord Roberts attacked General Botha, who was in strong force 15 miles south f Pretoria, June 11. After strenuous opposition the British forces gained con siderable ground, but General' Botha, when Lord Roberts left the field, was still undefeated. All is quiet at Pretoria and Johannes burg, and Lord Roberts says the govern ment need have no apprehension about the security of the army in South Af rica, as it will not take long to remedy the reverses and repair the railroad. A lengthy dispatch has been received by the war office from Lord Roberts which reads as follows: Disposition of the Forces. After surrendering the city Botha retired to a place about 15 miles east on the Middleburg road. He had a small force at first, but during the last few days .his numbers increased and his being so near the town kept up the ex citement in the country, prevented the burghers from laying down their arms and interfered with the collection of supplies. It therefore became necessary to attack him. This I did. He held a very strong position, practically unas sailable in front, which enabled him to place the main portion of his troops on his flanks, which he knew from former experiences were his vulnerable parts. I sent French's infantry and Dickson's cavalry brigade and Hntton's mounted infantry round by our left and Ian Hamilton, -with Broad wood and Gordon-7 cavalry brigade, Ridley's mounted infantry and Bruce Hamilton's infantry brigade round our right. Both columns met with great opposition. At about 3 in the afternoon I saw two of Hamil ton's infantry battalions advancing to what appeared to be the key of the ene my's defense on their left flank. This was almost gained before dark and I or dered the force to bivouac on the ground they had won. 'Pole-Care w, with his division, occu pied our left. "As I have explained, he could not attack, but he gradually advanced so as to support Ian Hamilton, and when I left the field he was on the line held by the enemy's outposts in the morning. "I hurried back to get th6 news of Methuen 's movement. On hearing that Free Staters had taken advantage of our crossing the Vaal to interrupt our line of communication I sent Kitchener with such troops as I could then spare to Verdefort with orders to push through, and communicate with Methuen, who I knew had a very compact force in the vicinity of Heilbron. Methuen Defeats Dewett. "I also dspatched a special messenger to Methuen, instructing him to push on at all speed to the main line of railroad. These two officers met at Vredefort on the evening of June 10. They marched to Rheinoster river, where Methuen gained a complete victory over Dewett and took possession of his camp and scattered his troops in all directions. He and Kitchener then marched toward Kroonstadt. "The enemy gained a slight success which was unfortunate, but will be remedied very shortly, and it will not take long to remedy the damage done to the railway. As these diversions are all iu existence I am now able to hold the line between this and Rheinoster in strength. "Our losses were not, I trust, serious, but I deplore the death of that gallant soldier, the Earl of Airlie. Other cas ualties arc: "Seventeenth Lancrs Major the Hon. Lionel Fortescuo and Lieutenant the Hon. C. Cavendish, both killed. " The result of the battle between Lord Roberts' forces and those of General Botha is eagerly awaited here, but it is believed the Boer commander will only complete his retirement, which he seems to have already commenced, though there is some hope in London that Lord Roberts will be able to surround him. A dispatch from Joubert's farm an nounces the continuation of Buller's successful march, the occupation of Volksrust without opposition and the capture of a number of prisoners, while the Boer casualties are reported to have been very heavy.
