London, April 20. Tho report of the
fighting at Karee Siding, eix milee north
of Glenn, contained in a sptclal dispatch
from llloeuifonteln today, way be lho
lirit news of the progress of the British
advance on Pretoria, but even if this
wire only an unimportant skirmish,
there are many other indications that
Lord Huberts is either starting or has
already started for the northern coal.
A dispatch from Cape Town, under
today's date, says :
"The censorship restrictions have
been greatly increased, owing to the
movements of troops." AH tho dis
patches hear traces of the strenuous
I'llbrtB of the correspondents to give their
papers an inkling of what is afoot.
Te Boors south of Bloemfontein are
reported to be retreating. Large com
mands were seen April 10 near Tint
Lannchu, moving to the north. -Their
proRreHS was alow, ,bowever, owing to
the terrible condition of the country.
liy way of Pretoria comes a report that
fever is decimating the Mafeklng garri
son, and a letter from the Mayor of
Mafeking, says Lord Roberts has asked
Colonel linden Powell to hold out until
May 0.
Cecil Hhodes returns to Cape Town to
morrow. The announcement of his de
parture was unexpected. It iB learned
that the so-called "Empire- maker" came
to England purely on business connected
with the British Chartered South African
Company, and the DeBeerB Mine Com
pany. Lady Gaticre will be a fellow passenger
ol Mr. Hhodes. She is going as far as
Madeira to meet ber husband, the
Uritieh General, who has been sent back
to England.
Gazette says :
"It will bo Interesting to watch the
game of procrastination to which Europe
is nccuBtomed, being played with the
United States. America has entered the
European arena, and apparently has no
intention of standini! any humbuir from
Turkey. Why ehould she? Tho Eastern
question hnB no terrors for a power with
a whole ocean between herself and the
balance.
"The president, thinks the Sultan has
had grace enough. But if the United
Slates sets foot in ABia Minor, perhaps
she will find that neither Russia nor
Germany will bo uninterested spectators.
From ourselves she will get nothing but
sympathy and good will."
Tho papers generally think Abdul
Harold will pay up.

KngUud is Interested.
London, April 19. Keen interest Is
manifested here in the threatened action
ol the I'uited States against Turkey.
Tiiu fourth collective note of the em
hassles, objecting to an increase of 3 per
tent in the duties on accouut of the bad
condition of Turkish fl uauces, without
previous understanding with powers, the
was handed to the Turkish government
yeatorday, But Turkey maintains such
a firm attitude that suspicion is growing
that some covert intrigue is frustrating
the eVet of notes. The St. James
PitiNCETON, N. J. Ex-President
Grover Cleveland sent a letter of regret
to be read at the dinner of the Brooklyn
Democratic Club at Brooklyn, to com
memorate the birth of Thomas Jefferson.
Mr. Clevolandsays :
"Whataver successes may have at
tended u party of opportunity with the
sails spread for every transient breeze
of popular sentiment or excitement, ex
perience bus abundantly demonstrated
ttiat Democracy is so constituted that it
is only strong when courageous in the
right and only victorious when itB forces
are marshaled under its old and well
organized staudards. There has never
been' a time when the falsa leadership of
our party and departure from theeimple
Democratic faith have not been quickly
discovered and ruthlessly rebuked by
liBtless support, pronounced defection
and bitter defeat. These coneeqnences
have thus far bsen so inevitable that the
lessons they teach cannot be disregarded
w ithout inviting calamity. Tho health
fu'nees of our party may well be ques
tioned when it shrinks from such ex
amination of its position as will enable
it to avoid disaster by keeping in the
course of safety, under the guidance of
true Democracy. Therefore those who
claim to be followers of Thomas Jefferson
will fail to discharge a solemn duty if, in
this time of doubt and temptation, they
neglect such examination, and if this
diecloees a tendency in party control to
subordinate principles of pure Demo
cracy and to a dletrust of their conquer
ing power, then the conditions should
not continue without brave and early
Democrat protest."

Report Circulated in Washington That
Costa Rica and Nicaragua Have
Definitely Agreed to De
sired Concessions
New York, April 20. A special to the
Times from Washington Bays: A report
is in circulation that the president is
about to send to the senute treaties with
Costa Ricand Nicaragua bywhich tho
latter countries propose to x:ede to the
United States a strip of territory five
miles in width on each eAb of the pro
posed canal, where it is:onstructed on
the border beteen Costs Rica and Nica
ragua, and a similar Area where it is
wholly in Nicaragua
In .the absence of the president and
the secretary of state, and of admitted
knowledge in the state department, it is
difficult to verify the report. Neither
the representatives of Costa Rica nor of
Nicaragua will confirm the report, but it
is not denied that a proposition haB been
considered which, if adopted, would give
the United States government power to
protect a canal built under circumstances
suggested in Euch a, concession. The
United States would have the right to
police the canal, Nicaragua and Costa
Rica would be permitted to move troops
across the neutral strip but neither
country would be permitted to place
fortifications upon it or engage in mili
tary operationson the grounds described
as neutral. But tho United States would
be authorized to placu troops on the
territory ceded in sufficient numbers to
protect the canal, together with barracks,
storehouses and material neceeeary to
military operations.
The treaties willyft is further reported,
guarantee the neutrality of the canal to
the shipping of tne world.
Clara linrtoti' Opinion.
Chicago, April 20. Miss Clara Barton,
president of the American National Red
Cross Association, was asked by the
Tribune for an expression of opinion re
garding the story that members of the
Chicago Red Cross Association had torn
off their Red Cross badges upon their
arrival at Pretoria and taken up arms
for the Boers. She sent the following
answer :
"Washington, April 19. If report be
true, these men have practiced gross de
ception, broken a pledge, and violated a
confidence which they sought. Tho hu
man world will not hold them guiltless.
