The fighting men decided to fight on. Sleyn, who appears to be In active command, be gan to advance toward the British and came Into contact Thurslay with Campbell's brigade and Hrabanl's horse, ;'0 miles northeast of Thabun chil. A smart engagement ensued, with no success on either slde,.except that the fioer advance waa stopped. General Hundle has disposed 10,000 Infantry along his 20 mile front In such a way- hs to bar the Boer advance to ward Lord Huberts' communications. According to a Prjtorla telegram. Gen eral Huller is moving from b'lands luRgte In the direction of Helpmakaar.

It reached Vryburg yesterday." LONDON. May 11. A special dis patch from Reit Spruit, dated May 10, describing fully yestjrday's succsesful operation, says General Hamilton's n outs had, on two previous days, as certained the Boers' position and their strength. On Wednesday night the Cheshire regiment crossed the river, er.trew.-hed themselves and prepared to hold the passage for the regiments fol lowing. ''At daybreak on Thursday, the main body crossed at two or three points. The mounted Infantry was then In the act of driving off the advance Boers preparatory to a general forward move ment. The Boer right first gave way, but Tucker and Hamilton had a rough er task on the left- The Boers had six runs and served them well, work ing with great determination, but the British worked up closer and closer, their guns meanwhile firing Inces santly. "The East Lancashire and Sussex regiments, by 11 o'clock, had worked well to tho front. The order was giv en and, like a flash the two regiments spian? forward simultaneously and, In n few moments had secured two commanding ridges. The advanced line was now within 1,200 yards of the BoerV main trench .and the latter were already losing heart from the demon stration on their flank, but they kept up a rapid, though wild lire. "At this moment the final charge was ordered, and away went the Lanca shlres and the Sussex regiments again, but the Foers could not stand and they fairly bolted, and the rout of the Boers along the whole line was then com plete." LONDON, May 11. The Daily Ex pres. In its second edition this morning publishes a dispatch dated Belt Spruit, May 10, morning, describing the cros sing of the Zand river by the British. It says: "The rear guard of the end of the Eoers, with their guns, resisted the advance- "The mounted Infantry, two batteries and pompoms cleared I he way and the third cavalry brigade acted as a screen before the main column. General French was on the left and General Hamilton on the right. "The Boers had destroyed aU the bridges during- their retreat. "It is impossible to ascertain the Bo er losses but they are thought to .be heavy. Those of the British, consider ing the Important advance ma,cle, are considered light." BEIT SrKUlT, Thursday. May 10, morning. The Boers opposed the Brit ish advance, holding positions north of Zand Drift back along the whole line, from !. nernl Hamilton on the east and O'-ni-ritl Ilullon, on the west-.

Pi eparailons Under Way for Their Re ception at New York. NEW YORK. May U Edward La-.r.eibach created a sensation at a meeting last night of the citizens com mittee which is arranging lor the en tertainment of the Boer envoys who are expected on the Maasdam next Tuesday. Addressing the meeting, Mr. Luuterbach said: "Neither of the two great political parties has taken any definite action on the position of this government with respect to the Boer war. My own party has not seen fit to define its po sition It Is equally true that no oth er nation has done so. But Judgment has gone by default against England in all civilized countries because of her action In South Africa, "In our own country and In my own party I believe there is a latent fire that w ill reo,ule but a small amount of funning to cause it to break Into a vast and powerful flame that will in spire the people who love Justice, free !or. and all that tends to a high civili zation and right. "I believe the republican party Is Irretrievably lost If It leaves to the democratic party the first opportunity to insert In its national platform a plank that will declare for the South African republics. "I am a delegate to the convention and I shall struggle and work harder there for a Boer plank In the plat form than I worked and struggle! for a gold plank In the platform that wa3 made up at St. Louis." Rev. Father Ducey, who preceded Mr. Lauterbach, said: ' This country cannot afford to g) to war over this question. We ca t talk now and arbitrate later. What the Boers want is sympathy and arbi tration." A committee was appointed to g' down the bay to meet the envoys. The commitee wil conduct them to the city hall and introduce them to the mayor. ENGLAND'S FRIENDLY SPIRIT. The Sea Witch Search Has Been Dis avowed. NEW YORK. May 11. A special to the Herald from Washington, says: In view of the conciliatory policy Great Britain is pursuing towards this country, which may Include a formal disavowal of the search of the Ameri can ship Sea Witch, while alleged to be In Portuguese waters, the Washing ton authorities are inclined to meet her half way . They deprecate as sincerely as do the British officials the agitation for politi cal effect now going on In this country. WILL BUY ARMOR PLATE. House Finally Realizes the Necessity of a Strong Navy Lodge Leads the Battle. WASHINGTON, May U. No dispo sition has been made as yet of the naval appropriation bill by the senate but, after an all day discussion, an agreement was reached to vote on the armor plate section at S o'clock tomorrow. During today's discussion a notable speech was delivered by Lodge trep.) of Massachusetts, upon the necessity of building up the United States navy without delay. I MEET ALL ISSUES Kooscvcll Will Not Be Nr.r for the Vice-Presidency nited M'KIMEY HAS NO CHOICE Second Alas on the Ticket May Come From the Far Wet"Party Plaifurm Will Meet Every Charge Made Against the Administration. NEW YORK, May U.-The Herald publishes the following statement made by Senator Hanna last night: "The selection of a man for (he sec ond place is open, has always bo.?n and will so continue until the convention shall have made its choice. "There has been much discussion of difitrent men for the place which lit vt ry proper, but when It Is said that any particular man has the prcf.-rence, It is a mistake. ''Governor Roosevelt will not be nom inated for vice-president and has not r.-en discussed In that connection by party leaders. "Th assertions made here and th.-re that the president Is concerning him self with the choice of his associate on the ticket do him an Injustice. He has Invariably declined to take any part. "It would be manifestly inappropri ate for him to take part In such move ments. "It can be said with emphasis that the vice-presidential nomination will remain until the assembling of the con vention and then will be determined as the best Interests of the party and all concerned shall require. "A number of names have been brought forward and no doubt each gentleman will develop strength. There may be some ballots before the selection can be made but you can rest assured the man put upon the ticket will be the man the majority of the convention wish to have there. This will be fair to a'l. "I have yet to hear from any source within the lines of the republican party even a ripple of hesitation regarding the renominatlon of President McKln ley. "The past four years have given rise to new Issues. There will be bold dec larations on these. Four years ago we were practically a hermit nation. Iso lated from all the world forces which promote Industry, trade and commerce. "The war with Spain, through wise councils In the executive office and the warlike spirit of the army and navy and people, was brought to such a prompt and satisfactory conclusion that it not only opened the eyes of the torles, broadened our productive capac ity anl extended our domestic mar manufactures. It extended our terri tories, broadened our productive capac ity and extended our domestic mar kets among people whose trade has been a bone of contention among Eu ropean nations for centuries. "The republican convention In its platform declarations will have to meet all these new problems of public policy by taking advanced grounds." SOUTH WANTS PROTECTION Specinl Appeal M:-l., to the Ways and Means ('e.smittve V. Florida Pla .it 'i s. NEW YuHK. May 11. A special to th-; Tribune livm Washington, says: Another appeal from ttu- sojth 'or protection from unequal forego, com petition has reached the ears of the ways and means committee. It conies from the growers of tasava and manu facturers of starch in Florida and con sists of a preamble and resolution adopted at a meeting of the commis sioners of Alachu county, on May 1. From the preamble It appears that the United States court in California has recently held that tapioca flour, casava starch and manloca starch, all of which are made from the casava root are not subject to duty under the Dingley law. The duty on potato starch under the Dlnglc-y law is one and one half cents a pound. THE TURKISH CLAIMS. Ahmed Pasha on the Way to Washing ton With Some Proposal of Settlement CONSTANTINOPLE, May 11 The matter of the settlement cf the Indem nity claims Is temporarily delayed. Well Informed circles say tha the Turkish mlnlstet In Washington, Alt Ferrough Bey, has' given assurances of the settlement of the claims, but asks for a short delay, which Is granted. Ahmed Pasha has left Constantinople. He is going to the United States with proposals, the object of which is the settlement of the claims in an indirect manner. In the event of the failure of Ahmed's rrcpo2ra!3 the Ur.Itrd r.;..: government will resume negotiations with the Porte. The Impression here Is that Ahmed will not succeed.
