NO 212
ARE WAKING TO
OFFICERS' DEFECTS
Publication of Lord Roberts' Criticisms
ot General Bullcr, General Warren
and Colonel Thorncycroft Have
Created Much Excitement
in England.
London', April 18. Lord ItobertB'
criticism of General Bullor, Generel
Warren unci Colonel Thoreycroft con
tinues to bo tiio tuple of intereet. All
the nftyriioon papers com in tint at length
on llio strictures of fiie British Commander-in-Chief
in South Africa, taking
thu B.niiu lines ns the morning papers,
praising I.onl Roberts for hla frnnknesp,
anil speculating upon what ttio publica
tion of thu dispatches ul the prcBont
moiiiL'iit portends. Some of them main
tain thuro is nothing left for General
Diillur hut to resign.
The Globe declares : "A more pitiable
record of indeeiflioii iu phui, and con
fusion in execution, we have seldom
read," iinil iidda that what little reputa
tion General Bullur hud left, has been
scattered to the wind.
London, April 18. Practically no de
velopments hnye been reported bo far in
today's South African cables. A dis
patch from Wurronton, dated April 17,
says:
"Finding thu Boors IniBy making new
trenches we exploded lyddite shell, fol
lowing up these with the Maxims. The
enemy'H nuihulnnee was afterwards ob
served on the spot."
From Wepeuer there 1b nothing later
than Lord Roberts' message of yesterday,
nnd presumably neither side has gained
any particular advantage at any point in
the theater of war since the last ofllcial
dispatches were received.
iVrivrniutli ut Wegener.
JlAHina. April 17. Colonel Dalgety's
casualties since lie Iiub been besieged at
YVepcnur have been twenty killed and
woumlud. The Boer louses are reporttd
to have heeu coiiBiderably heavier. After
the night attack ou April 1'2, the dead
were left on the Held, where they still
Ho unhuried.
There is a conflict of opinion among
tint leadera. Some want to attack again,
while others refuse to do bo. Desultory
cannon tiring uud "sniping" continue.
The Caledou is rising, which alarms
the ISuers, who are now on both (Ides of
the river, and might be cut oil' if the
stream were to become flooded.
Five Boer guns are believed to be dis
abled. imr Culling for llnlji.
C.U'k Tows, April 18. The Boer gov
ernments are circuiting the following
manifesto among Afrikanders through
out Capo Town :
"We fuel that our fate and the fate of
tlio whole Afnkandotn is at stake, and
we appeal to you to Htaud and fight
shoulder to shoulder with ue. You can
not, you may not, allow the tyrant to
extinguish forever your finest traits of
character iib a nation.
' With you ou our fiide the Issno can
not he doubtful. Wo must conquer. God
Rfnt that love of your country and your
liberty and the noble virtuoB of men
trly free may induce you to join ub in
Hie hour of our flupruine struggle.
HEPBURN BILL
TO BE FORCED
Advocates of the Nicaragua Canal Will
Take Actlou Arc Becoming Tired
of Look Delay Caused by
liiicmles of Canal.
Nw Youk, -April 18. -A apeclat to tl e
'"uniin from Washington says : Chair
1,uPhuru, of the committee on
'nierHiHtu commerce, and other repre
entatlvus who favor immediate leglalo
n or the construction of the Nicaragua
nl, linvn become impatient became
what tlmy regard us unreasonable de
lay, and they are threatening to make
ttie situation interesting ns well bb un
pleasant for thoFe who they believe nre
exorting their (fl'orts nnd influence for
further dcloy because of their hostility
to the project itself.
The Hepburn bill was favorably re
ported to the Houbo two months ago
Since that time the Huy-Pauncefote
treaty has been signed and is now pend
ing in the senate for ratification, with
little or no prospect for favorable action
until next winter if ever. The preliml
nary report of the Walker commission
has not yet been made and submitted to
congress, and probably will not be for
some time to come.
Vexed by the delay and untoward
prospect, the advocates of the Hepburn
bill nre trying to force its consideration
and passage by the Houee at this session.
Chairman Hepburn has already obtained
an imposing array of signatures to a pa
per requesting the committee on rules
to bring in a special order providing for
the consideration of the bill at an early
date specified nnd for a vote on the bill
and nil amendments thereto on a day
ar.d an iiour also to be specified. He is
confident that euch nn order would be
adopted by an overwhelming majority,
and there is every reason to believe that
his confidence, is justified. Ttiere ia
equally good reason to believe that the
bill would puss the House ns reported
by the committee by a large majority.
Catarrh Cannot lie Cured
with local applications, as they caunot
reach the Beat of the disease. Catarrh
is n blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure it you must take inter
nal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure ib
taken interuully, and acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's
Catarrh Cure ia not a quack medicine.
It was was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for years, and
is a regular prescription. It is composed
of the host tonics known, combined with
the best blood purlfieis, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The perfect
combination of the two ingredients is
what produces Buch wonderful results in
curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials,

news Ib filled with dispatches far afield,
and with political rumors and gossip.
Thu TimeB publishes the text of a
letter from the Ameer of Afghanistan
commenting upon British indifference
to Russian aggression, and conveying
the significant hint to the Indian gov
ernment that the present ia the time for
deeds, not for talk. The thoroughly en
tertained opinion in diplomatic circles
ia that Russia will not take advantage
of the British situation iu South Africa,
but will wait until the end of the war,
or until the time comes for the division
of Portuguese territory In South Africa
between Germany and England. Rub
Hia will then offset the British and Ger
man gains in this territory by ordering
an advance on Herat and by strengthen

GALA DAY FOR
PUERTO RICO
Natural Fondness of Puerto Ricans for
Pomp and Display to Be Gratified
Entire North Atlantic
Squadron Will Be
There.
New Yokk, April 18. A Bpecial to the
Tribune from Washington Bays: Yester
day's long cabinet meeting waa chiefly
devoted to considering the inauguration
of the civil government in Puerto Rico
on Moy 1, under the new statutes. It
has been decided that the people of the
island, with their natural fondness fur
pomp and display, will bo erfliclently
impressed with the importance of the
new establishment by the visit of the
entire North Atlantic squadron.
On the day of the inauguration of Gen
eral Davis, the tetiring military governor
will assemble nearly nil the troops of his
department at the capital and parade
them in honor of tho occasion. Each of
the ships will fire a governor's salute of
seventeen guns, to be returned in kind
by the forts ashore. At night there
will be a brilliant illumination of the
ships, with their masts lined with
electric lights, and an exhibition of
searchlights. The naval display will he
made all the more memorable from the
fact that the day will be the anniversary
of the battle of Manila bay.
Governor Alien will spend a week at
least at San Juan before his formal in
auguration, and at that time it ia ex
pected that he will be able to form a
cortect estimate of the qualifications of
leading natives for placeB in the executive
council, which constitutes the Upper
House of the legislative assembly, and
be in a position to make recommenda
tions to the president regarding appoint
ments. It is the impression among
cabinet officers that most of the men
now holding office iu General Davis'
military cabinet, except the United
States Array officers, will be continued
in executive council, either iu their pre
sent places or in Eimilar offices under
different titles.
The president and all members of his
cabinet are anxious that the council
s rial 1 be composed of natives as far as
possible, and desire to avoid all
semblance of fastening any "carpet-bag"
rule on the island. It will be the effort
of the president, largely on Governor
Allen'a recommendation, first to com
plete the executive of the island and to
provide for the organization of the
judiciary. Tho established courts of
the island, including the supreme court
of Puerto Rico, will continue to sit as
now constituted. Residents of the United
States will be selected as judge, district
attorney and marshal of the United
States, which will be established in a
few weeks at San Juan.
It Ib also settled that General Davis
will remain in Puerto Rico that Governor
Allen will have the advantage of his ex
perience nnd assistance. The brigade of
troops consisting of cavalry and infantry
regiments of regulars, the Puerto Rican
native regiment, and two batteries of
artillery, will continue to conttitue Gen
eral Davis' command, which will thus
bo as important, so fur as number of
troops Ib concerned, as any of the mili
tary departments iu the United States.
All military authority after Mayl,
however, will be subordinated to the
civil authorities, and the war depart
ment will cease to exercise any moro
control over Puerto Rico than H does
now ovfr Arizona.
