French's Cavalry on a Raid. No

Special to Journal.
London, March 8, The Boer Gener
alBotha, Delare and Dewet are re
ported today to be swiftly concentrating
a big Boer force almost -vithin rifle Bhot
of Lord Roberts new headquarters at
Osfontein.
The latest advices from tbe front arc
that six thousand Boers are now as
sembled there wailing for the arrival of
reinforcements from Ladysmith. Their
movements are reported by the scouts.
General Roberts has sent no word to
day regarding his movements and as his
silence heretofore has always veiled
some plan under way, there is a wide
spread feeling that news of another
heavy battle may be expected at any
moment.
General French's cavalry division has
disappeared from the face of the earth
siuce Cronje's surrender so far as any
mention either official or correspon
dent's dispatches are concerned.
Opinion is divided whether French
has pushed on to Bloemfontein, the capi
lal of Orange Freo Slate, or is working
around the new Hoer laager with a view
of trapping the three generals in about
the same kind of a snare that made Cion
je a prisoner.
There is no difference of opinion how
eves as lo me Iacl that lie is carrying
out some plan of war with the same
celerity that he has carried out every
step of the campaign thus far. This
makes the public expect simportent
events.
The railaoad from Cape Town north
ward to Kimberley is now repaired. The
engineers are pushing the works rapidly
beyond the Modder riyer.
The Boer prisoners captured al Paar
deberg made up a total of four thousand
mainly from the Transvaal. Three tlious
and of them are now on the way to Cape
Town. -
London, March 8, 5 p jn Special No
official news has been received here of ;
conference reporied lo have been ai
ranged between Presidents Kruger and
Sleyn with a view to opening negotia
tions for peace.
A high official said today that any
proposition short of unconditional stir
render would not be regarded by the
British government at this time.
The British flag must fly over Bloem
fontein and Pretoria," he Baid, "before
peace can be luougMof ."
ima tB tne temper of the British na
lion todgy. "No intervention and no
peace" is the expressed (Tiought. It is
known also that Conservatlce members
of Parliament have presented a memorial
to Lord Salisbury declaring that no set
tlement would be satisfactory at the
close of tbe war which does not declare
the Orange Free State and the Transvaal
aa Crown colonies, to be admitted to the
British government until such time as
the people of these territories could gov
ern themselves with equality and free
dom for all.
London, March 8. It is reported from
Brussels that Information Is received by
tbe legation thore from the Transvaal
that tbe siege of Mafeklng has been
raised. Col. Baden Powell repulsed a
heavy assault of the Boers some 'days
ago.
London, March 8 First Roberts'
scored then Buller, and now Roberts Is
about to begin operations again. He has
already moved his camp to Osfonteln,li
miles east of Paardnfcefg Renewed
lighting can be expected any day, as
many Boers are In the vicinity. It Is not
thought tbet these burghers intend lo
offer serious resistance to the British ad
vaoce, but rather to retard and hamper
the march on Bloemfontein.
Tbe main Boer army from Natal Is
said lo b'e concentrating at Wlnburg, 70
miles northeast of Bloemfontein. There
tbe ground Is favorable for defensive
tactics.
If the Boer make no determined stand
oath of Wlnburg they would virtually
abandon halftbe Free Htate to the Bri
tish, and would allow tbe railway wblcb
ran from Bloemfontein lo Port Eliza
beth to fall Into Roberta' bands, giving
him another valuable line of eommunl
cation. Tbey would also leave scattered
force at Slormbcrg and Ltbuschagoe'e
pet Isolated. For these reasons It scarce
ly teem probable tbal Ibey will abandon
Bloemfontein and tba railway south
without aa effort.
Tie Boer who were at Colriberg bare
already croeeed the Orange rlrer, moving
north lo assist lb attempt lo oppose
Robert.

Ladysmitb, Tnursday, March 1 Gen -
eral Buller, accompanied by hia staff, ar
rived here at 11 flam today. He en-
tered the town unnoticed, as more
cavalry was coming In during the morn
ing. The news of bis arrival soon spread,
however, and General White and his
staff at once went to receive him. The
two generals met amid scenes of tre
mendous enthusiasm, and General Dul
ler had an immense reception. It is
understood that the Boers are In full
flight toward the Free State, and a flying
column of Ladysmith troops are pursu
ing them. The Boers left many wagons
and gnns, ammunition and provisions be
hind them.
BOERS STILL RETIRING.
They are Forming: at Wlnburp. Garrison
Was Exhausted at Ladysmith.
Lonoh, March 4 The long period of
indecisive lighting in Northern Cape
Colony is near the end The British
are advancing, the Beers retreating all
along the line. Tbe Boers from Coles
burg are being followed rapidly. The
British are trying to seize the Bloemfon
tein Norval's Pont railway so as to cut
oil the Boers In the southeast and south
west of the Free Slate from the main
body at Winburg.
r ighting has already begun to tbe
eastward of Osfontein. According to a
dispatch to the Morning Post Genera)
French with a large mounted force
found the Boers intrenched in a strong
position on a Kopje and ngnting was
proceeding when the message was sent
Cenerals Buller and White are busy
carrying out the changes rendered necee
sary by Ihe removal of the Ladysmith
garrisor, so that fresh troops can take
their places and the sanitation of the
camp be effected. There has been
skirmish at Beater's, half way between
Ladysmith and Van Reenen's pass
which shows the mounted men arc fol
lowing up the retreating Free Staters
The failure of the Ladysmith garrison
to co-operate successfully with Buller is
now explained. White's troops were bo
exhausted by want of food that they
could not march two miles. The arlil
iery tried lo harass the retreating Boers,
but could not get near enough to them
to inflict any damage.

portant and far-reaching : ihe iies
tions involved In the I'ortn Rica tariff
bill, which has passed the house and is
now being considered by ihe Senate is
now recognized. When the bill was
being debated in the House, it was
broadly asserted thit this government
had promised tbe world that conunei
cially the "open door'' policy should pr
vail in the Philippines.
Senator Forakir, Chairman of ill
Senate Porto Riean Committee, said mi
the same sutject: "Beyond Porto Itioo
lie the Philippines. It has been suirgrt
ted that in our eastern possessions we
shall have the 'open door'. II we open
the Philippines to the trade of all the
world, we shall have the producls of the
world poured into the United Slate,
and our whole protective tariff svstem
will fall to the ground. This raises v
question on wlilrl.il is entirely unlikely
Senators in debate will everget together,
It will have to be determined by the
Uonrts, anil it is high y important Unit
the determinati on shall be reached
soon." Although Senator Foraker was
the lirst Senator to publicly say as
much, the belief among them lias been
general that the tUeslioii8 involved
could be more lillingly decided by the
United States Supreme Court than iu ihe
field of partisan politics.
Men in Congress who an usually well
informed are expressing the opinion that
if the United States Supreme Con rt de
cides that Congress has not the consti
tutional right to impose a duty upon the
products of any teiiitory ovnetl by the
United Slates as claimed by the l'orto
Hican tariff bill, Unit ilie retention of the
Philippines by the I'nile.l Slates will be
an impossibility. Already, prominent
Senators ami Representatives have said
that they would prefer giving up i lie
Philippines to giving up the protective
taiilT, which could not be maintained
with the Philippines having free trade
with the United Slates, anil presenting
the "open door ' t the commerce of the
world, w hie i is pledge 1 in the i'aris
treaty which transferietl 1 hem from
Spain to United States This aspect of
the question has already been touched
upon in the debate in the Senate and it
will be goje into much deeper before
that body disposes of the l'orto liico
bill.
It may be that there was politics in tliu
recommendation of the I'lcideni thai

collected as tariff duties on l'rto Rican
products, bo expended for ihe benelit of

tonbut there was also humanity in it.
and Congress descrve-t credit for so
promptly responding to the suggestion
of the President and making more than
2,000,000 immediately available for
Perto Rico.
Senator Teller Is a man of positive
opinions on all subjects, and they are
usually opinions which receive Ihe most
respectful consideration fmm Senatois,
who kuow that they always represent
deep and careful thought ile said in a
speech on the Porlo Itican tariff bill now
before the Senate: 'I want ihe party In
power to say whether ii may be the
purpose uttlmalely lo take in this island
as a stale. I know llic people them aie
dl for self-government, and thrv ought
in my opinion, lo have it as soon as it
may be given Ihe a. I would not be
a'armed if we sbonld speak of the l'mv
Ince of Porlo Itico. Hul I say that I am
nol golug to role for any lull that does
not give the people absolute control of
their own affairs " Mr. Teller offered
an amendment declaring that l'orto
Rlcana shall be allowed lo determine the
permanent form of government fur the
islands, and thai they are ciliicns of ihe
United Stales.

were beginning to form. I at length wns told of Dr. Johnston, of Detroit, and
his famous Sarsaparilla. I tried a bottle, more as an experiment than any
thing else, as I had no faith In It, and greatlv to mv agreeable surprise, I
began to grow better. You can be sure I kept on taking It. I took a great
runny bottles. lint I steadily improve, until I became entirely well. All the
sores healed up, all the bad symptoms disappeared. I gained perfect health.
ave neV('r bl'('" tro"',1'd with scrofula since, of course an old lady
of Kd years Is not a young woman, but I have had remarkably good health
since then, and I firmly believe that JOHNSTON'S JvYHSAI'AIULI.A Is the
greatest Wood purifier anti the best medicine In the wide world both for
scrofula and as a spring medicine." This Temarknl.lv interesting old lady did
not lok to be more than sixty, and she repeated several time "I believe my
life was saved by JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA."
