It is said that Lord Roberts has declined to per mit newspaper correspondents to send a complete report of the situation; therefore many details are lacking.

He wished to avoid useless shedding of blood ami to save his women and Children.1 lie asked that they be given a safe conduct. 'ieiieral Kitchener granted the re quest, so far as the women anil chil dren were concerned, but insisted that the surrender in all other respects be absolutely unconditional. To this Cronje agreed. '"The Boer commander at once left i his laager and, escorted by ilialf a dozen soldier, . entered the British He was imet bv General Kitch- elleT. who immediately brought him to the (headquarters of Iord Boiberts. The greeting between the rival generals was kindly and extremely .sympathetic on the part of Lord Roberts, who has great admiration for his captives, and brave and dignified on the part of Cronje. 'The condition of affairs in the camp of the Boers was something frightful. They had run entirely out of food, e.; eept the trek cattle, and these were eaten as rapidly as they were killed by the British shells. Their ammuni tion was badly damaged by the Brit ish tire. Most of their wagons were burned. The laager was strewn 'with the corpses of the dead, lying in the I broad light, unburied and festering. The wounded were in an awful plight. The hospital eorps was .insufficient to j attend to them, and they -lay about the laager in heaps, some crying piteouslj', I other sihrieking in their pain, many j silently enduring their agonies. "British troops, immediately on taking possession of the laager, were ordered by Lord Roberts to devote their attention to succoring the wound ed and .burying the dead, as well as caring for the women and children, who. -panic-stricken "and in expectation of some awf ul puuisibment, could hard ly Ik .induced to accept kindness or aid from their conquerers. The British commissary "was taxed to its utmost to give immediate relief to the sufferers, but everything" is being done to alle viate the condition of their captives. '"'It. is believed tihat the surrendered force will number between .7,000 and 8,000 combatants. Besides these there are over 1.000 women and children and Kaffir laborers and members of -the Red Cross relief corps." LONDON OVKRJOYI3D Intense.

C, Feb. 27. 'Special. The campaign for the constitutional amendment was opened in Catawba county today by Hon. -W-. II. Bower in a speech of an hour and a half. It was a splendid effort, and advanced the cause of white suwemaev in this county. The largest crowd ever as sembled in the courthouse at Newton heard the entire speech. .It was no ticeably the most intelligent and. rep resentative assembly of the best male citizens of the countjr ever at a politi cal gathering. 'Mr. iBower, after (being presented, gave a brief history of suffrage and party politics in North Carolina since the civil war, picturing vividly the ill effects consequent upon the enactment of unwise and unjust suffrage laws, ille showed how the right of suffrage was ibestowed upon the ignorant negro just emerged from slavery but still a savage, by aliens - to the State, against the protest of the intelligence and manhood of the State; that the very cream of North Carolina's purest and most patriotic citizens, to the tune of thirty thousand or more, were dis franchised tihat the great horde of negroes and those who ""dominated them might rule and ruiri the State; that the wrong has for, thirty years been a menace to the peace and good order of the commonwealth; retarding. its material advancement. In 1898 the white people of the State again took the reins and are following up that victory by a campaign to permanently rieht the great wrong and .outrage thrust upon them The s-oeaker made a plain, forcible and conviucing.argument upon the galitv of tlie amenument.

The last day of general debate on the Porto Rico tariff bill opened in the 'House today with a twenty m inute speech by Mr. Carmack of Tennessee in opposition to the 'bill. The alterna tive presented by the bill, he said, was the .abandonment of our priceless prin ciples or of our new possessions. The country had been dazzled with the gor geous picture of empire, yerat the very threshold of the new departure, he j said, gentleman on the other side had j Ibeen appalled lest the trade which they! lhad looked at with covetous eyes would (bring ruin and destruction to Ameri can labor. Therefore the new posses sions were to become colonies and to l)e turned over to carpetbagger adven turers. ille said thai; Mr. Grosvenor the other day had "displayed dense ignorance when he had declared that this was the battle of 1800 over again. He read from the Republican platform of IStJO to show that it set up the very con tention maintained by the Democrats now that the constitution was su preme in tihe territories, and extended over every foot of ground over which the United states had jurisdiction. "That was the doctrine of the Re publican part3' and. Abraham Lincoln," isa.id ihe, "and we staud here to defend the theory that slaivery and political despotism cannot be imposed within the jurisdiction of our country; that life, libertj' and the pursuit of happi ness are the inalienable rights of aill within our jurisdiction." Mr. Clayton of Alabama, who fol lowed Mr. Carmack, created amuse ment and enthusiasim by reading a let ter written by Chairman (Payne to W. IH. Curtis of Palmyra, X. Y., January 24, 1900. in which he advocated free iXorih -Carolina, among others, made trade with iPorto iRico on the ground ( vigorous speeches against the bill.

We cooiild not ex tend these, tariff laws to the Philip pine Islands even if we would." air. Clayton asked that this letter and an extract from Mr. Payne's speech in support of tlie bill be printed in parallel columns in the Record. He d eel a red that the brood of trusts had flocked to Washington and comilled the leaders of the iRepublican party to and Republican, parties ha ve made turn tlbeir backs upon Porto Rico. lie ' their nominations for President and asked iif the people of that island were!.

He t said the administration had deter mined blindly and greedily to hold the Philippines for w hat could be made out of them. It matters little about Porto Rico. The Porto Ricans were to be crucified in order that the cross might be raised in the Philippines. We could withdraw from the archi pelago and leave 10,000.000 of tropical people towork out their own salva tion. "In my opinion," he" said,' "that is what we ought to do." (Democratic applause.) "But. if they "are held they must be held under the constitution. The inhabitants must be American citizens black, brown and yelldw and ultimately be represented upon this floor with more representati6h than all of New England."

Preliminarj' to launching upon his argument Mr. iBailey, adverting to Mr. Cannon's speech, said that only one portion of it called for serious reply the accusa tion against the Democratic side for voting the $20,000,000 to Spain. Mr. Bailey said that that vote committed the Democrats to 'negotiate as to the future policy toward the Philippines. They voted the money to discharge an obligation of the government incurred without their consent. Turning to the bill. Mr. Bailey de clared that there was i involved in it a question of law and a question of morals. , Mr. Doiliver. of.

Against the Constitutional Amendment Bellamy Proposes One Cent Postage on Letters. Swanson Consider It Almost Cer tain Bellamy Will Keep Ills Seat. By JOHN G. BOYLE. Washington, Feb. 27. Special. There was considerable sossin about the ciipitol today as to who would sue eeed Judge Ewart when the Senate re jects him. There was a rumor that his name would be withdrawn. This was found to be without foundation". Senator Pritchard's name was used as his probable successor. This, too, was, without authority. Senator Pritchard said to your correspondent: "Under no circumstances, will I ac cept the place. I will remain in the; Senate -until the end of my term." Judge Ewart was asked if he had anything to say as to the adverse re port, and he replied: "Nothing." He Is looking well and will remain here until his case is decided by the Judi ciary Committee. This committee will report next Monday. There were sev eral members who were favorable to him, but they haye been staggered by the sub-committee 'Senators Simonir and (Pettus reporting against him this session twice in succession, it is now confidently predicted that the full com mittee will report unanimously against iiini. Some criticism has been made against Senator 'Pritchard in this mat ter, it being asserted in some quar ters that if he had influence he could pull Ewart-through. As a matter Of fact, well-known to your correspond ent for two years, if it had not -been for Senator Pritc-hard's persistence in. behalf of Judge Ewart, he would not bave heen nominated again this ses sion.
