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.
All the members of the National Machin
ists' committee and manufacturers from
all parts of tho United States were pres
ent. Governor Taylor at Louisville.
FRANKFORT. Ky.t March 17. Gover
nor Taylor left the state capltol today for

companied him to the train. It is said he
is preparing to buy a house near Louis
ville. LOUISVILLE, March 17. Governor
Taylor reached here about noon. He was
in consultation with a number of promi
nent Republican politicians during the af
ternoon. Tonight Surveyor of Customs

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.

65TH POLICE PRECINCT,
Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.: Greater New York, Nov. n, 1899.
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.
We remain, vours very truly, JAMES COOK,
HUGH E. BOYLE,
Officers of the 65th Police Precinct, Greater New York. JOHN J. BODKIN.

To Whom It May Concern:
I had been a sufferer for over four years from severe at
tacks of rheumatism and kidney trouble, probablv contracted
by exposure on hunting expeditions and wading trout streams.
I tried many remedies, the patent and other kind, but none or
them seemed to do me any good. I was persuaded by an old
and valued friend to try Swamp-Root, and frankly confess that
it, has benefited me as no other medicine has. I now feel like
myself again. I do not have the constant aches and pains
which at one time seemed to make life unbearable. It is a
positive benefit in ailments of this kind. I always keep It In
the house, as It is just as necessary as bread and butter.
Very respectfully,

EDITORIAL NOTE The great kidney remedy, Swamp-Root, is so remarkably successful that a special arrangement has been
made by which all our readers who have not already tried it, may have a sampie bottle sent absolutely free by mail. Also a book tell
ing all about kidney and bladder troubles and containing many of the thousands upon thousands of testimonial letters received from
men and women cured by Swamp-Root. Be sure and mention reading this generous offer in Portland Sunday Oregonian when sending
your address to Dr. Kil mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.
the House committee on naval affairs, haa
received from Admiral iDewey a copy of
a memorandum prepared by that officer's
aid, Lieutenant H. H. Caldwell, upon tho
recent tests of the Holland submarine torpedo-boat.
Admiral Dewey, it is under
stood, indorsed tho report of his aid, who
expressed tho belief that a determined
enemy, with submarine boats of the Hol
land type, could have made Impossible the
occupation of Manila Bay Dy the Admiral's
squadron. The expression of opinion made
by tho Admiral was In response to a re
quest from the Senate and House naval
committees, which, before determining
upon the action to tako upon a pending
bill, desired to learn the Admiral's views.
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. Wild Pirate

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.
With best wishes for sufferers,
, necessary papers have in most cases been
' forwarded to the Secretary of the Treas
j ury. It is estimated that the Increase of
! circulation will amount to at least $2,500,
, 000, exclusive of the circulation that may
be taken out on the deposit of additional
bonds.

NO PAIN. TRIFLING EXPENSE.
A Simple, Harmless Remedy for the
Cure of Plies.
A person contracts a cold, pneumonia,
rheumatism and pleurisy from exposure;
dyspepsia and liver troubles from dietary
errors and the causes of most diseases are
easily traceable, but although piles and
rectal troubles are as common as any of
these, the cause Is obscure.
Violent exertion, as In lifting, sometimes
produces them and a sedentary occupa
tion Is by some supposed to be a predis
posing cause, but as a rule piles and rectal
troubles appear without apparent provo
cation. There are many pile salves and oint
ments which give temporary relief, and
when these fall, tho patient, if he can
afford the expense and is willing to take
tho risk, has resource to a surgical opera
tion. But there 13 one remedy which gives
Immediate relief and the regular use of
which will bring about a permanent cure
and that Is the well-known Pyramid Pile
Cure.
In long-standing cases the Pyramid has.
proven to be the only cure except a. dan
gerous and exceedingly painful surglcai I
operation, and Its advantages over any
kind of operation are many, as It Is pain
less, causes no Interference with dally oc
cupation, and being in the form of a sup
pository Is always convenient and ready
for use.
The Pyramid Pile Cure 13 an effective
combination of soothing oils and antisep
tic acids. It contains no cocaine nor
nerve-destroying opiates, and unlike most
pile salves, contains no bichloride of mer
cury nor any poisonous, Injurious drug of
any kind.
All druggists sell the Pyramid Pile Cure
at 50 cents for a complete treatment of tho
suppositor'es.
A little book on causo and cure of piles
will be mailed free by addressing Pyramid

Regarding Wonderful Cures.
Mow to Find Out if You
Need Swamp-Root.
I used to bo considered that only urin
ary and bladder troubles were to be traced
to the kidneys, but now modern sclenc
proves that nearly all diseases have their
beginning in the disorder of theso most
Important organs.
The kidneys filter and purify; tho blood
that is their work.
So when your kidneys are weak or out
of order, you can understand how quickly
your entire body is affected, and how
every organ seems to fail to do Its duty.
If you aro sick or "feel badly," begin
taking the famous new discovery Dr. Kil
mer's Swnmp-Root, because as soon aa
your kidneys are well they will help all
the other organs to health. A trial will
convince any one.
Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re
sponsible for more sickness and suffering
than any other disease, and If permitted
to continue, FATAL RESULTS ARE
SURE TO FOLLOW.
Kidney trouble Irritates tho nerves, ,
makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless and Ir
ritable. Makes you pass water often dur
ing tho day, and obliges you to get up
many times during tho night. Causes
puffy or dark circles under the oyes, rheu
matism, gravel, catarrh of tho bladder,
pain or dull acho In the back, joints
and muscles, makes your head ache and
back ache, causes Indigestion, stomach
and liver trouble, you get a sallow, yel
low complexion; makes you feel as though
you had heart trouble; you may have plen
ty of ambition, but no strength; get weak
and waste away.
The cure for theso troubles is Dr. Kil
mer's Swamp-Root, the world-famous kid
ney remedy. In taking Swamp-Root you
afford natural help to Nature, for Swamp
Root Is tho most perfect healer and gentle
aid to tho kidneys that is known to medi
cal science.
If there Is any doubt In your mind as to
your condition, take from your urine on
rising about four ounces, placo it in a glass
or bottle and let it stand 24 hours. If on
examination It Is milky or cloudy, if there
is a brick-dust settling, or If small par
ticles float about in it, your kidneys are in
need of Immediate attention.
Swamp-Root Is pleasant to take and Is
used in the leading hospitals, recommend
ed by skillful physicians In their private
practice, and Is taken by doctors them
selves who have kidney ailments, because
they recognize in It the greatest and most
successful remedy for kidney, liver and
bladder troubles.
If you are already convinced that
Swamp-Root Is Tvhat you need you can
purchase the regular EO-cent and 51 size
bottles at tne drug stores everywhere.
