March 81.— A direct vote was taken by the senate today on the proposition to strike from the Puerto Rico measure the provision lay ing 15 per cent of the Dingley law dutiea on Puerto Rican producta. Tlis proposition was defeated by a vote of 16 to 33. White the vote is regarded as presaging the passage of the pending measure, it is not regarded as indicat ing the Anal vote on the bill. The feature of the debate was the speech of Beveridge. While he advooated reci procity between the United States and Puerto Rico he announced that if all efforts to secure free trade should fail, he would support the pending bill. The bill was under discussion through out the session, several important amendmemts being agreed to. The conference report on the diplo matic and consular appropriation bill was agreed to.

F ar From London, March 81.— The Boers are concentrating in force about 15 miles north of Bloemfontein, in the rear of Glen, and Lord Roberts Is sending for ward troops to engage them. Tbs Seventh infantry division aud part ol General French’s cavalry have been sent up to join the Fourteenth brigade, and the two cavalry regiments that are holding Glen and its environs. It does not seem possible that the Boers w ill give serious battle in the fairly open country north of Glen. Still their evi dent strength indicates more than s corps of observation. In small affairs the Boers are daring ly aggressive in all parts of the field ol war. The Johannesberg mounted po lice, esteemed by the Boers to be their best mounted commando, is raiding the country near Bloemfontein, harrass- ing tbe fanners who have given up tbeii arms to the British and carrying off cattle.

Colonel llroadwood marched to the Bloemfontein water works, south of the Mouder, where he encamped at 4 this morning. At early dawn the camp was shelled by the enemy from a near point. Colonel llroadwood sent off a convoy with the batteries, w hile the rest of the force remained to act as a rear guard. The convoy arrived at a deep sprut, where the Boers weie con cealed, and the entire body walked into ambush aud was captuied, together with six guns.

Steam er C lev e la n d , W ith B roken Shaft and a Sugar C argo. Ban Francisco, April 8.— Advice* from Honolulu, under date of March 23, stute that the well-known steamer Cleveland, bound for San Francisco, with a $100,000 cargo of sugar from Kahului, is adrift with a broken shaft and practically helpless in the open sea. When last heard from she was several hundred miles from Maui. Three of its crew left the steamer in a small lioat to go to Maui for assistance. They were spoken by the steamer Eric, March 20, 40 miles from Maul. The men in the boat stated that the Cleveland, when they left her, was 820 miles north-northwest of the island of Maui. The little boat had traveled 280 miles of the journey to Maui, a trip that must have required six days, so that the Cleveland must have moved a good deal since she was last located. She has two yards aud can put up a little sail, but not enough to control her movements. A steamer has gone to search for her. About two years ago the Cleveland met with a similar accident between San F'rancisco and Puget Sound. Aftei being abandoned by her crew she went ashore on Vancouver Island. During the civil war the Cleveland was a blockade runner aud wns captured on one of her trips to Charleston. She was built iu 1861, and has seen service of all kinds, all over the world. Her name hus been changed many times. Lately she was used us a transport for the Philippines. C h icago r i a y lio u .e Burned.

The flames spread with great rapidity, and within lOininntes after the discov ery of the fire the theater was beyond saving.
