They Were Progressing Hlowly and Llkel to Last About Two Month. Correspondence. San Juan, Porto Rico, Dec. 18. Tho elections in Porto Rico are progressing slowly. The Republicans earned Ponco on Dec. 9 by about 1,700 majority. According to the census of 1807 there are over 45,000 people in the Pouco dis trict, but of that number ouly 4,400 are eligible to vote, the right of suffrage being limited to the taxyayers and pro fessional men, about 4,400 of that num ber going to the polls. The Republi cans claim that San Juan will give them a tremendous majority and that the election throughout the island will re sult in an overwhelming Federal defeat. The eh 'tions will last for at least two months more, there being still over 45 towns to vote. The people are look ing forward anxiously to the action of congress on tho question of civil govorn meut. Many expect that Porto Rico will be immediately given a system of gov ernment entirely by the people of the island, while others take a more con servative view of the subject.

Baron Roberts of Eandahar and Waterford, commander of the forces in Ireland, has lxeii ap pointed to tho chief command in South Africa, with General Lord Kitchener of Khartouiii as his chief of staff. A notice was posted at tho war nltice. containing the following: "As the campaign iu Natal, in the opinion of her majesty's govern meat, is likely torequire the presence and un divided attention of General Sir Red vers Buller, it has been decided to send Barou Roberts of Kandahar and Water ford as commander in chief in South Af rica, with Lord Kitchener as chief of staff, to proceed to South Africa without delay. The commander iu chief iu South Afric has horfii authorised to continue to raise at his discretion local troops mounted. Lieutenant The Hon. F.

The Seventh division. which is being mobilized, will proceed to South Africa without delay. "'Niue battalions of militia, in addi tion to two battalions which have al ready volnuteered for service tit Malta and one for service in the channel islands, will be allowed to volunteer for service outeido of tho united kingdom; and an equivalent ncmber of militia battallions wiil be tMiibodied for service at home. "'A strong force of volunteers, se lected from Yeomanry regiments will be formed for service in South Africa. " 'Arrangements are being made, and will shortly bo announced, for the em ployment in South Africa of a strong contingent of carefully selected volun teers. The patriotic offers which are being received from tho colonies will, su far as possible, be accepted, preference being given to offers of mounted contin gents.'" General Puller reported to the war office that bis Iofrph in Friday's engage ments were: Killed, R'i; wounded, CG7; missiug, !!-18; a total of 1 0!)7. The revised list of the British casual ties at the battlo of Miigersfonteiu shows the total to l.e !l(i:i, of which number 70 were officers. The Black Watch wcro the heaviest snfferers. (if the rank and file 42 were killed, 182 wore w.iiiided ana 111 ure missing. Pretoria, Dec. 13. An official dis patch from the Morlder riversavs: "The Boers captured a great quantity of loot, including 2"0 Lre-Metfords, cases of partridges and hundreds of bayonets, (ireat numbers of tho British have re tired from Two Rivers, in tho direction of Belmont. The loss of the British whs very great. There were heaps of dea l on the field. The wounded are bein attended to temporarily at Bissol's farm. The sappers and miners must have suf fered severely. Tho Boers suffered h"avy losses in horses. I cannot other wise describe the battlefield than as a sad and terrible slaughter. Monday was for us a brilliant victory. It has infused new spirit into our men and will enable them to achieve greater deeds." The war ofllce received a dispatch dated Deo. 1 7 from General Forestie Walker at Cape Town, containing th following: "Mcthuon reports that Lieu teaant Chandos-Polo-Gall was talten pris oner last Thursday morning while going to meet a flag of trnao. He was waving his handkerchief in response and was unarmed. "Gutacro has removed his troops and stores to Sterkstroom from Putter's krall. French has csteblished head quarters at Arundel. "Vandermerwe, with a commando, is reported ' moving south from Jacobs dal." . The qneen's graceful act iu present ing a flag to the American hospital ship Maine is highly appreciated by her own people as well as by the Americans In Iondou, and the morning papers express the hope that the incident means some thing more than a pretty ceremony. "Black week," as last week is now universally called, has evidently aroused the government and the war office to a full sense of their responsibility and of the magnitude of the task before them. The papers unanimously applaud this awakening, despite the fact that they recognize that the heroic nuasutcs now decided upon savor rather of weakness than of strength. Rumor has it that the question of ex peuse has really been at the bottom of the half-ncarted measures hitherto adopted, and it is not unlikely that Sir Michael-Hicks-Beach, chancellor of the exchequer, and other members of the cabinet will resign. It is high time that something very energetic was dono. The British losses in killed, wounded, prisoners aud miss ing throughout the campaign now reach the enormous total of 7,030.

Dewej's Former Flag Lieutenant Died of Typhoid Fever Iu Wash ington.. Washinutox, Iko. 18. Lieutouant l'liomas M. Bruu.by, flag lieiueuant to Admiral Dewey during the Manila cam paigu, who has been ill with typhoid lever lor several weeks, died at Garfield hoxpltnl flu- death of Lieutenant Brumby while not unexpected was a great shock to AiinMial Dewey. The relatious of th- moil for several years have beeu ') intimate and a strong friendship hd grown up between them. Lieuten ant Biiiinhy went out to the Asiatio ritulimi with the Admiral aud had beeu Willi hiiii ii ii ill they both returned to the I'mt-d States a few mouths ago. In his i-npacity as flag lieutenant to the iirlnnrxi. Lieutenant Brumby was thiowu with his chief practically all the time ami acted as his personal repre sent iti v.- in many matters of detail del e;rted to him by the commanding office-. He wn renarded by Arlmiial Dewey as a bright, energetic and capable as sistaut, while the devotion of I he latter to the admiral was something marvel ous. The burden of his thought during the latfer days of his illness, when his mind was racked with delirium, teemed to be regarding his work for the ad miral. The lieutenant's present illness dated from about Nov. 27, first symptoms being nothing more than a cold, which, how ever, failed to yield to treatment, aud soon afterwards he went to tliu Gai Held hopital. where he died. Admiral Dewey was unremitting in his attention to him until his condition became precarious and visitors were not allowed to see him Some days ago Mrs. W. I. Hay ward of Marietta, Ga., a sister, was summoned and Thursday she was joined by her husband, both te maiuing with the lieutenant until he died. The lieutenant's aged mother is still living iu Marietta, Ga. The father, who is dead, was a colonel of the Four teenth Georgia regiment in the Confed erate army. Liouteuaut Brumby was 4i years of ago aud uumarried. Nothirg defi nite lias beeu decided concerning the funeral except that the body will be taken to Georgia for interment, leaving here tonight for Atlanta. It is entirely improbable that Admiral Dewey will uecoinpiuiy the remains, but will desig nate his secretary, Liouteuaut II. H. Caldwell, to perform that duty. Iu bis report of the battle of Manila Admiral Dewey spoke iu very compli mentary terms of the services aud gal lantry of bis flag lieutenant aud re commended that he bo advanced some numbers ou the list of lieutenants. His recommendation was adopted by the navy department aud the name sent to the senate but, together with a number of other promotions made by the de partment, failed to be acted upon. The promotion recommended placed him about 13 ou the list of lieutenants, and, bad it beeu confirmed, he would iu less than a year from now have reached the guide of lieutenant commander. The lieutenant's death is the third of those who were closely associated with Dewey, the others being Captain Grid ley aud Captain Wood. Lieutenant Brumby was presented with a sword by the legislature of Geor gia on Oct. 2(1 lie remained In Geor gia some days alter that and returned to Washington about the middle of No vember. tjiieeii's Trip r,it pnnml.
