THE SUNDAY OBEGONIAN,- PORTLAND, MARCH 18, 1900. PACIFYING FREE STATE ROBlmTS, "YVOItlC BEFORE HE AD VANCES TO THE VAAL. Little or Xo Flglitinsr Expected la the Southern Republic Leyds Disappears From Brussels. LONDON, March 17. The peaceful con quest of the Orange Free State progresses so evenly that it Is now believed there -will be llttte or no flighting, until Lord Roberts reaches the Vaal River. How soon he intends to start out with this ob jective is not yet hinted at, but the pacification of the Free Staters seems now engaging all his attention. When the move comes, it will doubtless be accom plished with the secrecy and swiftness which have characterized all the British advances since Lord Roberts assumed command. The revolt of the Cape Dutch in the Northwest seems to have its back broken, and it is likely General Kitchener will soon resume his place beside his chief. The lull that lets the British troops in Natal and the Free State recuperate brings no rest to the engineers and trans port service. Girord, the young Canadian officer who rules supreme over the rail roads, is now putting his systom to the most severe test In an endeavor to pour supplies from Cape Town to Bloemfon teln. Commandant Olivier, after leaving Bur ghersdorp, went to Rouxvllle, where he Is now reported to be with only a small force. Dr. Leyds has disappeared from Brus sels, according to a Globe special. He is believed to have come to London, but nothing is known here about his arrival It seems scarcely likely that he would Jump Into the lion's mouth, and the ener getic Boer representative Is more likely to be heard of at one of the European capitals. The departure of Lady Roberts from London for South Africa today was made the occasion for a popular demonstration. Among her fellow travelers were the Duchess of Teck, who has gone to Join her husband; Sir Frederick Carrington and staff: Lady Shesham and Miss Rhodes, the latter Cecil Rhodes' sister. England's army in South Africa will soon be Increased. Today, nine ships sailed, with S900 men. It Is persistently reiterated that Mafe king has been relieved, but the "War Office has no confirmation of the rumor. PROMENADE THROUGH FREE STATE Early Forecaxt of AVar "Will Soon. Be Fulfilled. NEW YORK, March 17. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: At the opening of the war; Englishmen talked lightly about a promenade through the Free State, and during the next four months they condemned themselves with fine irony for their boastful folly. Their earliest forecast is. now In a fair way to be fulfilled, since three columns have crossed the Orange River without ilring a shot. And the guards have gone down the railway in three trains to meet them and to hunt for the enemy's guns. And while President Steyn, with the Boer commandos behind him, is still In the field at Kroonstad and Ventorsburg, and there Js a rear guard at Brandford or Winburg, -the march northward does not seem like ly to ho seriously opposed. The occupation of Bloemfonteln Is a peace measure of great efficacy. The cap ital has welcomed Lord Roberts' soldiers and is rejoicing that so far as the Free State la concerned the war is virtually at an end. The. Influence of the capital Is felt North and South. The forces block ing the advance of Gatacre, Brabant and Clements are breaking up; the com mandos in the North are thinning out nightly from desertions. It docs not seem improbable that there will be a prome nade as far as the Vaal River. The details of the concentric movement upon Springfontcin are coming in slow ly. General Brabant was too far cast to take part in it, and he was fully occu pied in reconnoitering the enemy's posi tion north of Allwal North. General Clements had forced the passage of the river at Norval's Pont on Thursday morn ing and constructed a bridge for carry ing over his heavy guns. General Gat acre was moving forward rapidly toward Sprlngfontein from Bethulie. General Pole-Carew, with the Guards, has arrived at Sprlngfontein, and Is prob ably already In touch with Generals Gat acre and Clements. General Roberts, in his midnight report, said nothing about the Dutch rear guard. These have prob ably disbanded and there is no obstacle to the immediate opening of railway com munications from Bloemfonteln to Orange River. Lord Roberts states that two con tingents of the Free State forces are on the border of Basutoland awaiting the terms of his proclamation before surren dering. The burghers are abandoning Steyn and preparing to give up the.r arms and return to their farms. The cam paign in the Free State is virtually over. Three days' later news has come from Mafeking. where the garrison was hold ing out well on Friday week and has been able to seize the Boers' advanced trench south of the town. The report that a re lief column has been organized at Klm berley is confirmed. It Is recruited from volunteers and local forces and stiffened with regulars. General Kitchener has clearly been at work there, and the seiz ure of Boshof is connected with the move ment. As there is a Boer force at Four teen Streams, the column will have se vere fighting before it can cross the Vaal and clear the Western border. The casualties in the battle of Dreifon teln have run up the losses of Lord Rob erts' army in the final stage of its ad vance upon Bloemfonteln to 379. The brave Irish soldiers at the front have wrought something like a miracle in England. The bells of Windsor Cas tle will be rung today In honor of St. Patrick's day. The Grenadiers Band will play Irish airs on Castle Hill, and all the flags of the royal borough will be dis played. St. Patrick is the Queen's pa tron saint for one day in the calendar, and not only all the Irish battalions, but the West End of London as well will .wear the green. Rhodes' Opinion of Bnllcr. NEW TORK. March 17. A dispatch to the World from London says: Julian Ralph. In a letter from Klmber ley to the London Dally Mall of this (Sat urday) morning, quotes Cecil Rhodes as saying In an Interview with him: "The marvelous thing about England is her luck. We have made the dlllest mis takes, and we have had some of the most Incompetent Generals, but we are coming out all right, as we always do. "I am glad to have Kimberley relieved, of course. We are all glad, but, in heaven's name, why was it not done soon er? What was the good of all the mess ing about Rensberg and Colesbcrg? Why did they not do at first what was so readily done at last? "There la little use telling you what Buller's plans were; you people In Eng land have such wonderful Ideas about his generalship. Do you know what his or ders to Methuen were with regard to Klm'oerley? They were these: "Methuen was to come here to relieve the town, carry all the people away out of it, and then fall back to Orange River. I know it, and say that It Is scan dalous. It would have been a disgrace upon England had it been carried out. Take the people all away, leave the town and fall back to the Orange River. I don't refer to the abandonment of the town as a disgrace, but to falling back to Orange River. Why should an English General plan a retreat and arrange to fall back? It is simply monstrous." On the Jlaxntoland Border. LADYSMITH, March 17. Friday. LoM Duntfpnald'g cavalry patrols rcconnol tered the Free State border of Basuto land to the De Beers Pass, where a Slight skirmish occurred in which two British were wounded. The Boers were also encountered in some strength at Van Reenan's Pass and Tintwa Pass. Kaffirs arriving here report that the Boers are manifesting a vindictive mood, owing to the defeat, and many kraals heretofore respected have been devastated. A number of ambulances attached to the Boers' forces were found near Mod der Spruit, having been abandoned by the Boers, because they were unable to keep pace with the retreat. They were brought into camp, where the wounded were cared for. Transports were subse quently supplied, and the ambulances were sent to the Boer lines. Boer Leave Bnrgrhcrndorp District. BURGHERSDORP, March 17. Com mandant Olivier evacuated his position on the hill in front of the British during the night. Several Boers of his force havo surrendered. Dr. Dewltt, a member of the Cape Parliament, and his brother have been arrested. MACHINISTS STRIKE. Joint Conference at Chicagro Was a Failure. CHICAGO, March 18. President James O'Connell, of the International Machin ists' Union, declares that 100,000 machinists in all parts of the United States and Can ada will be -ordered on strike within the coming month as the result of a disagree ment between the manufacturers and machinists, who closed a Joint conference in Chicago at 1:20 this (Sunday) morning.

THE NEW GENERAL BOARD 3LOST IMTORTAXT ORDER ISSUED BY XAVY DEPARTMENT IX YEARS. Eliminating- Civil Government From. the Service Members of the Board Other Xavy Xevrs. NEW YORK, March 17. A special dis patch to the Tribune from Washington says: The most important general order Issued to the Navy since that of Secretary Boric, establishing Admiral Porter in tho Navy Department after the Civil War, is No. 5W, published to the service by Sec retary Long, installing Rear-Admlral Crowninshleld as chief of staff and creat ing a "General Board" for the purpose of controlling the fleet. This order, constituting a board of nine members, all line officers, is understood to be in tho nature of an opening wedge in the movement to eliminate as far as possible civil government In the service. Thus far orders are regarded as essential features of the plan as shown by the mem orandum prepared by Captain Henry C. Taylor, ex-president of the War College, who is looked upon as the Mohan of the active list, and upon which Secretary Long's action Is based. Captain Taylor, in a note accompanying his memorandum, says: "Tho memorandum has been written in reply to an inquiry from the Secretary of the Navy as to what concrete things should be done at present in the develop ment of the general staff. If, in response to this Inquiry, we should submit a com plete plan covering many years, elaborate In detail and precise as to dates, we would by this only indicate our own Ignorance of the true nature of the project; but we may with confidence suggest some meas ures the necessity of which is now plainly apparent. At present -we perceive certain things. "First That we have established a War College and on office of intelligence. "Second That these two are essential elements of a general staff. "Third That the department appointed a war board when the late -war began, In dicating by such action the need of general staff advice." Captain Taylor then presented five or ders, the first making the War College and Intelligence office mutually dependent, their chiefs and first assistants, with the chief of navigation, forming a permanent board of five, and stipulating that one-half the intelligence force shall pass four months annually at the War College and one-half the War College force four months at the Intelligence office. The second, which Is practically the one Just Issued, establishes a general board of nine members, five of whom are named in the first or permanent board, the others being the senior officer of the Navy (Ad miral Dewey), the commanding officer of the North Atlantic fleet and their chiefs of staff. This general board is to meet to consider the plans of the board of Ave every November and at such other tlme& as may be desirable. The third order gives the chief of navi gation custody of the approved plans, places the combined work of the War College and Intelligence office under his general direction and orders, and desig nates him as the representative of the board in all transactions with the Secre tary of the Navy. The fourth order Is drawn with sufficient elasticity eventually to supplant the naval staff, the marine corps and all the civilian authorities of the department. It pro vides that "when matters of constructing, arming, equipping or manning- the fleet are necessarily deducted from the war plans and require action of the department and Us members In supplying ships and their accessories, they shall be submitted to the Assistant Secretary, "who shall con sider them and transmit them to the Sec retary of the Navy." The fifth order provides for enlarging the force of the intelligence office and War College, and places the selection of offi cers for both details In "tho chief of the Bureau of Navigation in his capacity as chief of the general staff." The Member of the Bonrd. NEW YORK. March 17. A special to the Herald from Washington says: Secretary Long's order creating the pol icy board caused considerable comment among officers on duty in Washington. The officers who will be members of the board, under the provisions of the order, will be Admiral Dewey. Rear-Admlral A. S. Crowninshleld, Captain C. D. SIgsbee, Captain C. H. Stockton, Captain Asa Wal ker and Lieutenant-Commander C. H. Pe ters. Captain Henry Taylor and Captain F. E. Cthadwlck will be designated for membership on the board, and possibly Rear-Admlral A. S. Parker, though the impression is that an officer of lower rank will be selected. Rear-Admlral Sampson will not be a member of the board, according to the present intention of the department. Tho formation of the board meets with the approval of Admiral Dewey, who was willing to perform the duty, which did not greatly Interfere with his movements. Officials of the Navy Department do not hesitate to say that the result of the for mation of the board will bo that It will re lieve some of tho bureaus of at least o part of their duties, though the order an nounces war measures to be the object of Its creation. It will determine upon the character of maneuvers in which squad rons will engage, prepare plans of offense and defense, determine upon the points at which ships shall bo stationed in time of war, and advise the Secretary as to tho shipping policy to be followed. TO PROTECT MISSIOXAItlES. Object of Sending: an American "War ship to Talcn. NEW YORK. March 17. A special to the Herald from Washington says: Ostensibly on account of the disturbed conditions prevailing in tho Province of Shan Tung, Secretary Long sent an in struction to Rear-Admlral Watson, direct ing him to order a vessel of his command to Taku to give protection to Americans, especially to American missionaries. Ad ministration officials say that the order has no reference to the Information re ceived from tho American Association of Shanghai as to the hostile attitude of the Empress Dowager to the "open-door" pol icy. They point out that If a naval dem onstration were Intended, a squadron would be ordered to Taku Instead of one ship. They pooh-pooh the Idea that the Em press Dowager has been Influenced to take the attitude stated by the American As sociation by a foreign nation, presumably Russia. Secretary Hay has in his pos session the final replies of all tho gov ernments of Europe to his "open-door" representations, and tho President has under consideration the question of wheth er or not to transmit them to Congress in a special message. Consequently a hos tile attitude on the part of tho Empress Dowager on the "open-door" question could not be displayed towards the United States alone, but It would necessarily havo to be extended to all other nations parties to the agreement At the Chinese Legation no credence Is placed In-the report about such hostility. The Chinese Minister has long been out spoken In favor of the negotiations. The trouble in the Province of Shan Tuner, ac cording to reports received from Minister Conger, which have been transmitted to the Navy Department and cabled to Ad miral Watson, arises out of the opera tions of the "Boxers." a secret Chinese society, which Js endeavoring to drive for eigners out of China.

Gentlemen: In justice to you, I feel it is my duty to send you an.acknowledgement of the receipt of the sample bottle of Swamp-Root you so kindly sent me. I had been out of health for the past five years with kidney and bladder trouble. Had our best physicians prescribe for me. They would relieve me for the time being, but the old complaint would in a short time return again. I sent for a sample bottle of Swamp-Root, and I found it did me a world of good. Since then I have taken eight small bottles bought at my drug store, and I consider myself perfectly cured. It seemed as though my back would break in two after stooping. I do not have to get up during the night to urinate as I formerly did, three or four times a night, but now sleep the sleep of peace. My back is all right again, and in every way I am a new man. Two of my brother officers are still using Swamp-Root. They, like my self, cannot say too much in praise of it It is a boon to mankind. We recommend it to all human it) who are suffering from kidney and bladder diseases. My brother officers (whose signatures accompany this letter), as well as myself, thank you for the blessing you have brought to the human race in the compounding of Swamp-Root.

CRESCENT CITY DERBY. Prince of Verona "Won, Sidney Lucas Second. NEW ORLEANs7March 17. A home trained horse and a stable with strong local affiliations won the richest prize of the local racing season today, when Prince of Verona, owned by A. H. and D. H. Morris, galloped home first In the Cres cent City Derby. Savo by his trainer, tho colt had not been figured a winner. Sid ney Lucas and F. W. Brode divided favor In the betting, though the support accord ed the former was the best, and his price shortened from 2 to 1 to 11 to 5, while Brodo's went back .from twos. The start was good and prompt. Boland took The Conqueror to the front with a rush, and rounding the first turn opened up a gap of a length and a half, Brodo following closely. Before the half-mile was reached he had shot his bolt, and yielded to Sid ney Lucas. Brode struggled to tho front again In the next furlong, but as they passed the three-quarters they were neck and neck, Sidney Lucas gaining at every stride. Burns rode. F. W. Brode with might and main, but the colt was in the worst of the going, and he could never get up. McJoynt had placed Prince of Verona fifth all the way, and kept him to the best track. In the last sixteenth he found an opening, and, coming through with a rush, caught Sidney Lucas, who was tiring, and beat him out a head. Lamplighted would not try a foot of the way. Cathedral's victory in the St. Patrick handicap was the first of the surprises, and after that they followed fast, favor ites winning only the first three races. The track, at its best, was lumpy and slow, with many soft spots. The results were: One mile, selling Old Fox won, Little Regglo second, Tho Bondman third; tlmo, 1:43. Five furlongs Choice won.

People in Greater Key York His Physician Prescribed Swamp-Root. To Whom It May Concern: New York, Nov. 17, 1893. I was all run down in health and spirits, from overwork on tho Exchange floor. I developed nervous neuralgia and also suffered from an acuta attack of rheumatism. Of course. I had careful medical attendance, but while con valescing my own physician himself ordered me to take Swamp-Root to build up my nervous system, and put my kid neys in shape. It helped me more than any curative or tonic I ever used, and now always keep It In my medicine chest.
