Geneial Hamilton has probably by this time at rived at Thaba N'Vhu. and bo Is using his utmost en deavois to cut off the Boers who urc tetreatlng fiom Dcwetsdorp. The Hoer forces at Thaba N'chti are not likely, to make a stand to cover the escape of the convoys fiom the southward. They havu laagers eight miles apart, sti etching from Braudfoit to Thaba N'chu, with a base camp at Samalldell station. A lepoit comes that a small force of British mounted infantry had a brush with a party of Hoots ten miles east of Kaiee siding, who were trying to establish a con nection between Hrandfort and the Hocr forces to the southward. Other wise there is no news beyond the ofll clal despatches of Lord Roberts, ex cept belated details of recent opera tions. Taken on the whole, however, there has been no bungling and ap parently Lord Roberts with the com mands In the hands of young generals now has an exceedingly cfllcient army. The report that the Boers had rc-occu-pled Boshof proves to be untrue. Lord atothuen Is still there and General .Hunter's division, from Natal, which was supposed to be going to Bloomfon teln. Is arriving at Klivberley. This Is evidence that some important opera tions are afoot in that district. The Boers are showing more activity in Natal. They are placing some heavy guns four miles north of Elandslaagte. Brandfort, Orange Free State, April 21, Monday. A British column In the unevuun or uuitiontein and Hoopstad has been beaten back through Boshof The federals sustained two casualties and the British had 12 men killed and a number wounded.

The scarcity of water is supposed to be very pressing at Bloemfontoln. A desperate attempt was made by a largo British force, in two columns yesterday to recapture the waterworks. Their light Hank was beaten back, however a party of fifty were cut oft and twelve men were killed. The Johannesburg commando has captured a British scout. Some Amer icans have been shot.

JOHN D. LONG NAMED. Massachusetts Republicans in Ses sionSecretary of the Navy Urged for Vice-President at State Con ventionSenator Hoar's Anti-Expansion Doctrines Repudiated. Boston. April 26. The Republicans of Massachusetts met hero today to select delegates and alternates to the National Republican convention In Philadelphia next June. The assemblage of delegates at the Music Hall wiu, fully s ( large as the average attendance at state conven tions in Massachusetts. The choice of members of the leglslatuie as delegates had been so general that the morning session of the house was postponed. While the choice of delegates to the national convention was the principal business to be considered, much en thusiasm was awakened by the an nouncement that the name of John D. Long, secretary of the navy and for mer governor of Massachusetts, would be presented as the choice for the Re publican vice-presldentlal candidate. In his speech as permanent chair man, Congressman Fred H. Gillett. of opnngneid. praised the Republican party and the administration. It Is notable that the platform adopted, In defiance of the well-known anti-expansion principles of the senior senator from Massachusetts, Mr. Hoar, declared it to bo the nation's duty to retain the Islands acquired from Spain. The nlatfoim reaffirmed "unwavering adherence" to the national platform of 1SD6. of which it Is declared that every position had been adhered to, and ev ery plrdge had been kept. It congrat ulated the country upon the "rejection of free silver coinage and the indorse ment of the gold standard." MOTORS ON THE TOWPATH. Automobiles Will Soon Succeed the Mules on Canals. Trenton, April 20. The first of the electilc motors to be used on the Del aware and Rarltan canal for the pro pulsion of boats, anlved here today. The motor is In the form of an auto- mobile and will travel along the tow- path piopelllng the boat with a tow line. Tho Delaware and Rarltan will be the first canal In the world to be equip ped with the electticlty for the pro pelling of boats and it is believed that this new method will materially re duce the cost of tiansportatlon. The motors are being piovided by tho Erie Canal Electric Traction company, which has contiacts for equipping other canals. Superintendent Henry W. Dunn, of j me i.uuu cuinpanj, wiucn is operateu by the Pennsylvania Railroad com pany, said tonight that one of theso motors would travel at the rate of five miles an hour with from three to five boats In tow. Under the old sys tem boats were propelled by mules at the tate of onlv two miles an hoin. that In addition to the saving of expense there will also be a great saving of time and be believes that the use of this method will greatly enhance the value of artificial water ways for transpoitatlon. - ii m McKinley Leaves Canton. l'iit.burg, April 20.

It is learned that the note of Mr. Griscom. United States charge at Coiistantlnoole. Is founded on the state depaitment's in stitution to press vigorously the claim foi Indemnity already lodged with the potte. The note fs not an ul timatum in any sense, but is In con tinuation of tho expressed determina tion of the tate department to ex haust all peateful and proper means to secure a settlement of these Ameri can claims. It is not doubted that the Tuiklsh government would speedily meet our desires In this matter could the claims be adjusted privately nnd without tho knowledge of the European ambassa dors at Constantinople, nut this is Im practicable, and the Turkish govern ment Is, it Is bellewd. embarrassed at the necessity of settling all the claims of European countries for large sums of monej, should the American claims be allowed. The expectant attitude of the European diplomatic agents in Constantinople during the active pios ectitlon of the Ameilcsn negotiations is probably the basis of such stories as that put alio it to the effect thai the Russian government was secretly backing Turkey In opposition to the settlement with the United States. It is realized that the Tuiklsh govern ment is not at all averse to the spread of a belief in tho truth of Ihis story, but it Is bold here that there Is no foundation In fact for it.

Ottawa Ont . Apill 2-The city oC Hull. Quebec, ucioss the liver from here has been burning since noon to day. nnd all that remains tonight is a small corner in the east end of the city and before long It too will be In ashes. There ate u few houses standing la the suburbs of the burned city, imil has a population ot about 12,000 peopln nnd more than half of them are homo less tonight. The entile business part postotlice, public buildings nnd news paper ofilees Is a mass of ruins. Tha population Is almost entirely composeiX of people tvho woik in tho mills otf who derive their huslness from thosd works. The Hie crossed the Ottawa river In the afternoon, took hold among the lumber piles on tho brink of thd liver and extended to the lumbcn yards and mills. The result Is that thn whole of that part of Ottawa known as the Chaudlero flats surrounding tha Canadian Pacific tallway station, wheie tho lumber mills aro located, in lire swept. Tho only building standing; in the whole area Is that of the Ottavvj, Caiblde factory, which Is newly erect ed and lire nioof. From tho flats tho fire extended across tho Richmond rond on to Rochestcrvlllc and as far as tho expeiiment.il farm. Westerly, tho fire took in Iluntcrbutgh and Mechan lfsville, so that on the Ottawa side of the river thero is a larger area cov ered by fire than on the Hull side. It li estimated that at the nresent tlmo me number of people homeless In tho two cities and suburban towns Is not less than 12.000, and it may reach 1.-..-000. Tho government lias given tho drill hall and the city the largo exhib ition buildings to accommodate tho suf feiers. All the institutions in the city which have any accommodations at ail have lent a hand to aid tho distressed. The only Industry left standing In Hull Is tho Goulmer & Houston lumber mill, at the extreme end beyond tho city limits-, near Catlneau point, nnd it Is still In danger. The large Roman Catholic cathedral Is still standing, br-t the flames ure surioundlng It. Nothing ran be done to stop the lire It will burn Itself out to the water's edge. Thn Hull Lumber company's mill, thn extensive works of n. 13. Kddy, both match and paper factories, a1? well as his residence, aie all In itilns. as well as the Inter-provlnclal bridge, which connects the city of Ottawa with HulL On Orrawa Side. On the Ottawa aide of the livei thg lo-s Is still greater There aie In ashes the lltonson & Weston Lumber company mills, the ,1 R. ljooth lumber mills, the .McKay Milling company, the Ottawa Dlectrlc tailway power house, the Mat tin & Warnoek mills, the Victoria foundr.v, the Ottawa saw woiks, the Ottawa specialty company, the Paine planing mllis and several Industries. There are also some fine residences Included In this area Among them are that of .1. R. Booth, which was valued at 5100,000. the icsldence o his son-ln-lnw. A. W. Dork, thai oe Hon. Cicoige Foster Lewis Hunnell, manager for .Mr. Rionsou, and Mi. Paine, of the Paine mills, the latter two beautiful houses out of which theli owners weie not able lo tako anything so quick did the flames ex tend to them. As soon as the members of the gov ernment saw that the (lie was to lie .1 disastrous one. the acting minister of public woiks telegiaphcd to Montreal, Peterboro anil nrockvillo for fire ap pliances and all assist nice that could be sent. Hut. although they anlved speedily, they were of no avail. Noth ing could stop me ravages of the fire, which leaped over whole blocks and broke out lu all directions. The Cana dian Pacific railioad station, which In on the Chaudlete Flats, was among one of the first buildings to go. as It vns a woouen structure. The latge cliff which extends from the Ottawa river bank by Chi 1st chuich and St. John the Baptist church on to Rochesterville was the only thing which stopped the whole city of Otta wa becoming a prey to the fire. Short ly after noon tho wind which was blow ing previously In a nortnwesterly di rection changed to a southeasterly di rection and In this way what temalned of Ottawa was saved. It Is almost idle to talk of losses while the tile' yet burns and with a change of wind would certainly sweep the city, but a moderate calculation would be somewhere be.ween fifteen and twenty million dollars. The gov ernment had the mllltla called out and udjourned the house of commons until Tuesday on account of the tire. In this city it is estimated that be sides the mills, fncttnios, etc., burned, 1,500 residences were destroyed. Tha total loss Is estimated at Jlu.000,000, und the insurance at $2.r,00.000. --.
