Mail accounts of the capture of General Cronje, Just received, bring out interesting points as to tho rapidity with which Lord Roberts changed his plans when he found that General Crjanje had escaped from Magersfontcln, where it was originally Intended to attack or close In upon him. Lord Kitchener was sent forward to inter cept him, and at the battle of Prardeberg Lord Kitchener seems to have shown that he Is a better 'organizer than fighter, for it was at 103 order that the British in fantry reneated the blunders of other Generals, attacking intrenched Boers, w allowed the Britishers to yards before opening fire. had absolutely no cover, th and uselessly, and were co back momentarily, with consl fusion, and to withdraw their to a safe distance.

OPPOSING MILITIA OFFICERS CONFER Mrs. Golden "Will Go on the Stand and Confirm Her Husband's Tes timony No Mines Laid. FRANKFORT, Ky., March 25. Notwith standing that troops recognizing, the dual Governors were quartered within two square of each other the Republican troops at the Statehouse under orders from Republican Governor Taylor, and the Democratic troops at the Courthouse guarding prisoners Powers, Culton and Davis; under" orders from Democratic Gov ernor Beckham the day was quiet. The Republican Adjutant-General, Collier, and Democratic Assistant Adjutant-General, Murray were together some time this morning. General Collier called to dis claim responsibility for the mine which some of the soldiers made a pretense of laying, but It Is understood their talk took on a wider scope, and that they discussed and mutually agreed upon a plan to avoid possibility of any sort of a clash between the troopa. w GOLDEN'S WIFE WILL TESTIFY. "Will Confirm Evidence of Her Hus band on Important Points. FRANKFORT. Ky., March 25. The ex amining trial of the Republican Secretary of State, Caleb Powers, will be resumed tomorrow morning. Sergeant F. Wharton Golden, who. It Is alleged, turned state's evidence, will continue on the witness stand for cross-examination, his direct testimony having been completed Satur day. When he is through, Mrs. Golden, his wife, will be Introduced as a witness also for the prosecution, and It is re ported that she will corroborate her hus band's testimony on many important points. The physicians who made the autopsy on the body of the late Governor Goebel will also probably be Introduced as witnesses. The Introduction of Mrs. Golden will prove a surprise, inasumch as it has been the impression from reports sent out from Barboursvllle that Mrs. Golden, was angry at her husband on account of his confes sion. Since his Illness in the courtroom. Golden has completely recovered, and was on the street today. It is the general impression that the de fense may make no effort to controvert Golden's statement in the examining trial. An examining Judge needs to have only a reasonable suspicion of guilt to bind a prisoner over1 to the grand Jury, and as it Is evident Judge Moore has this, It would be folly for the defense to show Its hand beforo the real trial. The whole of Golden's testimony tended to throw suspicion on "Tallow Dick" Combs, .the colored barber at Beattyvllle. Combs says he can provo his innocence, and Js wllllnsr to go Jnto custody If want- ,i. HarlandWhlttaker, Combs and num erous other persons have at various times been suspected of firing the fatal shot, bwt the prosecution, has not yet identified the murderer Made Pretense of Laying Mines. FRANKFORT, Ky., March 25. The Re publican Adjutant-General, Collier, today denied that mines were being laid around the arsenal and capltol grounds, and in an explanatory communication to the Demo cratic Adjutant-General, Murray, General Collier said that some Indiscreet men- at tho arsenal had dug trenches and made a pretense of laying mines, to create a sensation, but the work was entirely without the sanction or knowledge of Gen eral Collier, and the men engaged have been sharply reprimanded. CONDITIONS IN GERMANY. Money Hgh and Industries Far From Easy. BERLIN, March 25. The quarterly set tlement is making unusual demands upon tho German money market, tho high rates for a prolongation of money having been the most striking feature last week. A partial cause was the fact that the banks were accumulating- for tho payment or the yearly dividends. The end of the week saw a slight improvement in the situation. Warnings to speculative industry to go slow have multiplied of late. Herr Koch, president of the Relchsbahk, announced in the Reichstag that the high rates for money would continue, owing to tho heavy trade, demands. The Nordeutsche Allgemelno Zeltung has printed a semi-warning to manufac turers, declaring that there has been an unnatural bull movement In coal and Iron shares, and in the prices for the commodities. It advises producers against utilizing the present situation to the ut most, on the ground that such a course would lead to the restriction of exports and an ultimate crash. It counsels mod eration in every department of business. Meanwhile the coal famine continues very acute. The factories have lost mill ions of marks, and many are now operat ing on short time or without profit. Num erous Chambers of Commerce have dis cussed, the'eituatlon. The Solengen Cham ber declares that a continuance of tho famine will mean the complete shutting down of many factories and the discharge of thousands of workingmen. The Bar men Chamber has addressed a communi cation to the coal syndicate, threatening to ask tho government to prohibit coal exports. The syndicate has replied that It has reduced the exports to a minimum, but cannot dispense with them altogether. The February trade statistics show a large increase In coal exports. The capital for the German-Atlantic cable was heavily oversubscribed, and the books were prematurely closed. A meeting just held at Stuttgart Inau gurated a combination of all German cotton-weavers, chiefly for the purpose of fighting' the yarn duty. A combination of sugar factories Is still talked of. Only 4 per cent of the manu facturers are now lacking to completo tho syndicate. The Berlin fruit-dealers have submit ted a memorial to the government against a fresh-fruit duty, which they contend would ruin the trade. The memorial points out that Berlin receives SO per cent of Its supply from abroad. Borneo Rebel Was Finally Killed. TACOMA, March 25. Today's Oriental mall contains the news that the British forces In North 'Borneo have finally killed Matt Sellah, the arch rebel, who had three times incited the natives to rebel against British rule. He was killed in February In a fight which, followed that in which the British lane and naval forces under Captain Harrington destroyed three stockade forts which Sellah and his fol lowers made their strongest stand. In this fight a naval gun from the British gun-,, Doat iaouan was used very effectively,. sending solid shot through Sellah's fortsj The British exnausted their ammunition 1 during the fight. As soon as more could be secured they started- after Sellah and killed him In a fight further back In the mountains. His followers were dispersed. The news was cabled to Singapore and Hong Kong by Captain Harrington. The British Chartered Company of North Borneo hired Sellah to end his rebellion two years ago, but he started another war when his money was gone. London Stock Exchange. LONDON, March 25. On the stock ex change last week there was a decided In crease in businesss, stimulating the hope that the long revival has come at last. Money must be cheaper, however, before there can be a thorough materialization of this hope, but the prospects are dis tinctly encouraging.

Joined Ranks of the Socialists. ROME, March 25. Gabriel d'AnnunzIo, the novelist and poet who was selected a Deputy about a year ago, has left the Moderates and joined the ranks of the Socialists. Durmg the most heated part of tho debate at the last sitting of the Chamber, ho left his seat and stood near the Socialists, watching the struggle in an attitude of reflection. At the closo of tho sitting he attended a gathering of the Socialists' group and ias received with cheers. i - "I congratulate you," he said, "upon, the fervor and tenacity with which you" de fend an Idea. During today's spectacle, I saw on the one hand many dead, and on the other a handful of living, eloquent men. As an Intellectual man, I proceed toward life." The Times on Canadian Budget. LONDON, March 26. The Times, deal ing editorially this morning with the Cana dian budget, says: "The point of Interest which transcends all others Is the patriotic spirit of imperial solidarity in which Mr. Fleldlngs speech wa3 conceived, delivered and acclaimed." Proceeding to discuss fiscal relations, the editorial points out the difficulty England would have whenever Imposing tariff duty for tho benefit of her colonies, and ex presses a hope that the solution of the problem of an Imperial zollvereln will eventually be found in a "common, accept ance of free trade rather than a reversion to protection." The Delagoa Bay Avrard. BERNE, Switzerland, March 25. The Delagoa Bay arbitration judgment, which had been announced for tomorrow, has been postponed for a few days, because of difficulties with respect to the distribu tion of the Indemnity among the different groups of claimants. The amount of the Indemnity has been settled, and the ques tion of divisions is of secondary import ance, which will speedily be settled. It is thought almost certain the Court of Arbi tration will finally leave the division to the parties themselves. "FREE STATE OF ACRE."

Tho request, or protest, ends thus: "Independence or death! Long live the free state of Acrel" It is signed by 12 chiefs. There is serious danger of complications between the state government of Ama zonas and the general government at Rio, owing to the fact that the people of tho Amazon Valley, as well as the state gov ernment, are in favor of aiding the Bra zilians of Acre, estimated a4- 23.000. against the Bolivian Government, id the Insig nificant Bolivian population of Acre, esti mated at 2000. The peoplo of tho state of Para are bitterly opposed to the inter vention, of the central government In fa vor of the Bolivian authorities in Acre, and the deputies of Para and Amazonas will firmly qppose all Interference by tho Brazilian military forces. Letters received from tho City of Acre say the Independ ent state of Acre has sent diplomatic notes to the governments of Austro-Hun-gary, Germany, Italy, Great Britain, France, Spain, Switzerland and Portugal, requesting them to recognize the Inde pendence of the new state.

The United Irish-American Societies mot in this city tonight and passed resolutions condemning the proposed visit of Queen Victoria to Ireland. "While commending tho wise decision- ,of the Irish people," say the resolutions, "to refrain from acts of personal discourtesy or disrespect to an aged woman, who Is used as a screen to cover political deceit and trickery of the basest kind, we cor dially approve their determination to re buke by a calm and dignified protest the attempt by a hybrid combination of loy alists, deserters and tuft-hunters In Dub lin to welcome In the name of the Irish people the official representative of Eng lish misrule, who Is herself a strenuous opponent of Ireland's most cherished as pirations."

Governor-Genera Wood has recently had interviews with persons of influence, who have strenuous ly urged the taxation of valuable property rather than each bag of sugar as it la manufactured. Those who hold thhj view contend that under the present system impediments are thrown. In the way ot production.

The owners, who. are rich men, are living In Paris, Madrid and other European cities, quite untaxed for their property In Cuba- General Wood feels that if these propert tie3 axe taxed, their owners will be forced! either to sell them or to make them, pro ductlve.
