LONDON, Feb- 22, (Thursday.
4 a. m.) Lord Roberts' Hat of Jjny
nine killed and wounded officer. in
cluding two generals, in the engage
ment up to Sunday evening, uses
anxiety, especially as in the offi.t'J
list neither be losses of the Weftc and
Essex regiments nor those of the
mounted infantry are included. TJ.is
is about the number that fell at Cole as o.
where norr-connrrisskmed officers and
men brought the total Josses to 800. f It
is considered strange that, when send
ing ins casualties. Lord Roberts give
no infoTiration as to the result of the
fi ghting. I f he has made such a report,
the war office is withholding ft. More
over, nothing is known as to fcat
took place Monday, Tuesday and yes
terday. i
The absence of details from Lord
Roberts dispatch, contrasted1 with his
rather full narratives during th- first
part of bis operations, produces uneasi
ness am on a: the military observers. All
comment in the morning: newspapers,
hrh editorial and critical. : rs threaded
.with the disturbine m freest ion that W-
nite the hard fighting. General Crrwje
has been able to beat off his -pursuers,
has escaped and is being reinforced by
rail from Ladysmith. and by force on
frot and horseback from northern Cape
Colony, as weS as from Kimberlev.
As the correspondent with Lord
Roberts are silent, the telegrams from
Boer sources receive some counter, ir.oe.
The latter aver that Cronje, while the
British were erfthnvoring to surround
rum rerween j-aaraerDerg ana jvoxh-oo s
Rand, received -einforcements t'tijer
De VVrtt. and that together the Iw.er
commanrlers fought the British to a
standstill. : ; - t . .. -t .
However alt this may be, public op n
ion here, will not be reassured until ,he
war effice issues , exlkit state rent
of successes, which.' of 'jourse. world
clear away the gathering doubts re
specting the uninterrupted success i of
Lord Roberts' forward .movement. No
one doubts bis Ultimate .success. ut
there is fear of a temporary dtsopn lnt
menr. amd that a lot of hard fiehti-ig is
yet ahead of the British. I
The latest report, regarding Gerca!
Buller. circulated in' the house of com
mons last evening was that the agnt
of the Dc Beers Company had received
a cablegram from Cape Town, which
must have parsed the censor. to hc' ef
fect that General Barton's fusilier brig
ade had reached the hills commaritif
Ladysmith. Quite apart from thi
however and. from every other ramor
the early' relief of the beleaguered gcr
,rison rs thought inevitable. 1 :

MILITARY OPERATIONS.
IN THE PHILIPPINES WILL
SOON BE TERMINATED, j
A Mobile Mounted Police, to Be Sub
stituted for the Army 'right
ing Guerilla Bands.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 Accord
ing to information received at the war
d'Yartment rom Manila, at the end of
iht present expedition of General Bates
into the two provinces at the extreme
nuhern part of the island of Luxon,
the military operations in the Philip-p-ne's
will close. Afterward, it is stated
ihere is nothing to do but to undertake
to maintain order through the police
system. Attention is now being given
to that subject, and steps are being
taken to form a thoroughly mobile,
lightly armed gendarmerie, something
on the order of the Canadian mounted
police, to cover he islands at all points
and conserve the energies of, the regu
lar troops. i ;
The arrest of A. T. Galon, on a
charge of beings a -guerilla, as reported
from Manila yesterday, it is said at the
department, marked the initiation; of
another policy towards the insurgents
who still remain under arms. As a
summary punishment of the guerrillas
cannot be had until some action has
been taken to declare the terminaton
of the application of! the rules of war. it
is assumed pt the war department that
General Otfs has already issued some
kind of a proclamation or notice to the
natives warning them that, if they defy
the rules of war and pursue 'a oredatory
warfare, they will be treated as guer
rillas when captured. f :
The president is devoting special' at
tention to the formation of the new
Philippine commission, acting on the
advice that the army -has reached the
end of its function in the islands, and
that the time is ripe for the establish
ment of .civil government throughout
the archipelago. It is hoped that the
personnel can be completed before the
end of next weelct ... It armlears that
Mr. Detrby was obliged to decline re
appointment as a commissioner on ac
count of physical inability to stand the
hard work. - t

' fMBM Is Called.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. Por the
first time in. the debate upon the Puer
to Rican tariff bill, the voice of a, repub
lican was raised today against the
measure. Cromwell, repuoncan 01
Ohio, spoke against the 0111. He op
posed it on the ground of policy and
not of constitution. His hostility, how
ever, was not so absolute but , that he
announced his intention of voting for
it if the substitute failed. The other
speakers today) were Ray, of New York,
and Long, republican erf Kansas, for
the bill, and Henry, of Texas, against
it- . - "" . ''
The republicans have decided to hold
a caucus for a conference on the bill
Saturday night. Although ' there are
said to be between twenty and thirty
republicans who are hostile to' the bill,
the republican leaders, who are can
vassing the situation, say that not more
:han, four or five will cast their votes
igainst it. They also say several dem
ocrats will support it. The only dem
ocrat who is outspoken in his advocacy
of the bill is Davey of Louisiana. He
represents ne of the largest cane su
gar interests in the South. Others, in
cluding Mayer, of Louisiana,, and Bros
sard, of Louisiana; Loud,, of Califor
nia; Davis and Sparkman, of Florida,
are said to be in the doubtful column,
but the democratfe whip savs that only
Davey, and Sibley, of Pennsylvania,
will vote for it. Wilson, of Idaho, sil
ver republican, is said to be inclined to
vote for the bill. Some of the repub
lican opponents of the bill who dislike
to go on recora against tneir party,
believe that the way out of the dilemr
ma in which they .find themselves, fs to
vote to recommit the measure. On
account of the "pressure for time, the
debate hereafter will begin at 1 1 o'clock
and there will be night sessions Thurs
day and Friday.
Representative Tawney; of Minneso
ta, the "republican whip" of the house,'
has wired all absent republicans to be
present on Saturday. This is under
stood to be tfor the purpose of having
all republicans present at the confer
ence, on Saturday night, on the Puer
to Rican tariff bilL .
THE SAMOAN TREATY.
Washington, Feb. 21. The senate,
:n executive session, today, ratified the
treaty between the United States, Great
Britain and Germany, affecting the
claims growing out of . the joint control
of the Samoan islands.
A SUBSTITUTE.
Washington, Feb. 21. Four republi
can members of the house committee
on merchant marine' and fisheries. who
have differed from their associates on
the terms of the shipping bill, today
completed a substitute bill, which was
introduced by Representative Miner, of
Wisconsin, those acquiescing with him
in the measure being Stevens of Minne
sota, Jones of Washington, and Ford
ney of Michigan. The bill follows the
general plan of the original, but makes
a number of amendments.
EMPTY PROMISES.
Made by Multnomah County Regard
ing Valuations of Property.
Portland. Feb. 21, Fifteen county as
sessors of Oregon met on Tuesday, to
agree upon a uniform basis of valua
tions, tforT assessment purposes in Ore
gon, for j 1000. They adjourned toHay
without accomplishing anything, for
the reason that there was riothing 'or
tflretn to do. They agreed not to agee
upon a basis. If any county make.; a
large cut in valuations this year, it is
probable . that aH others- wiH h hw,
though Assessor Gieenlears assurance,
that Multnomah vahies wiil show an
increase of between '$6,000,000 and ?7.
000,000. may serve to check any head
long plunge.
PENSIONS FOR AUTHORS.
Mr. Anthony Hope, in talking about
the proposed scheme of pensions for
authors, remarks: "Interesting to learn
"hat authors become poor, is it? Ah!
the fabulous wealtfh of the author iis
pleasing myth. Indeed, with but a
few exceptions we are tower in the
financial scale than the members of any

It is how apparent that Lane coifaty

contagion was a commendable act.
There is no telling where the dread
