The Ilrltlali Genera! Said to lis Between the liner Army and ltlooinrniitelii and Awaiting; Keliifoieenienl No Confir mation. London, Feb. 20. The war office an nounced that it hud nothing further for publication from South Africa. In tho lobbies of the house of com mons, however, it was snnmred that General Oronjo's army was surrounded, tlmt General French had got between the Boer forces and Bloemfontciu and that ho was only awaiting reinforce incuts to close in on the enemy. No confirmation of llus rumor was obtainable, although tho general idea wus thnt the- government had received inixi'taiit dispatches. London, Feb. 11). 4:50 a. m. It is now amply confirmed thnt General Croim'o escaped. Every detail received, however, proves how admirably Lord Roberts' plans were conceived ai'd were succeeding. Hut for the unexpected de lay at Dokiel's drift, "which was almost Impassible for wagons, the whole Boer force would have been surrounded. The delay of one day there gave them their chance for a histy retreat. All the other movements of Lord Rolierts were executed abou) on time. Apiwrently General Cronjo is retreating with the main army, and even if he es capes altogether ho will probably lose all his baggage. HJLLER TRYING TfcE RESCUE AGAIN Another Movement on to Save Lady amith Trying to Take llliinguane Hill. LoNDO.sFeb. 20. The war office gave out a lisimtch from General Buller, which contained tho following: "Chieveley Camp, Feb. 19. I yester terday moved around the enemy's flank. Tho Queen's, who had bivouacked on the northern slope of Cingolo, crossed the Nek, and, supported by. tho rest of the Second brigade, under Hildyard, as saulted and took the southern end of Monte Cristo. "The Fourth brigade, on tho left or western kIoihs. and the Welsh Fusiliers, supported by .the rest of tho Sixth bri gade, assaulted the eastern flank of the enemy's position, while tho Second bri gade cavalry, or the extreme right, watched the eastern slopes of Monte Cristo and drove back those of the en emy attempting to escaixj there from our artillery tire. Assaulted by heavy artil lery fire on tho front and flank and at tacked on their flank and rear, tho en emy made but slight resistance, aiid, abandoning their strongixisitiou, were fciven across the Tugela. I have taken Keverul camps, a wagon load of ammu nition, several wagons of stores and sup plies and a few prisoners. "Tho wenther has been intensely hot and the ground traversed was exceed ingly difficult. But the energy and dash of tho troops have been very pleas nnt.tosee. They have all done splen didly. The work of the' irregular cav alry, the Queeu s, the S Jits Fifsiliers and the Rifle brigade JFhh, perhaps, most noticeable, while the excellent practice of the artillery and naval guns and the steadiness of tho gunners, un der, at times, very accurate fire, was re markable. TJie accurate firo of the naval gnus from Chieveley was of great nssistauce. Our casualties are not. I think,' many." ChieveM!Y, Sunday, Feb. 18. The Brifish operations are directed to the capture of Hlnngwano hill, where tlio Boers are strongly fortified and from which they are shelling tho British with great accuracy. Tho British infantry are now disposed along a line extending for seven miles to the small kopjes nt the baso of Monte Christo hills. From 6 o'clock Friday morning the British incessantly shelled Monte Christo, with the Nek separating it from Blaauw Krnntz hill, on tho right. The British infantry is Hiaking slow progress up the Nek, in the en deavor to occupy Monte Christo, which will enable them to enfilade the Boers on lUaugwane. FRENCH ON SCHEDULE TIME, Keaohetl Kiiiilterley In Spite of Fearful Condition-HrltiHli Xow Have a Mobile Force. Jacohndai., Orang Free State, Feb. 19. Lord Roberts' combinations for tho movement of the corps dovetailed with precision, although obstacles that had not been foreseen had to berercoiuo. The execution of his design began at 3 a. m. n week fnm last Sunday. Gen eral French !lo into Kimberley Thurs day afternoon, about when ho was due, according to the field marshal's time ta ble, having in four and a lihlf days marched !0 miles with artillery and having fought two small engagements. Tho relief of Kimberley was accom plished with the loss of only 50 men.: Twenty thousand infantry mode splen did marches under a sub-tropical sun nnd through a dust storm to hold flie po sitions which General French took. Lord Kitchener was with General Tucker's division. In consequence of his transK)rt arrangements the four di visions moving over the sandy veldt are fed and watered. It is hardly jxissiblo to appreciate adequately the mathemati cal precision with which every part of the transjxirt department has worked, marching through the day, toiling al most sleeplessly throughout the night, victualing the army and evolving every hour results from seeming chaos. Everybody did what was expected of him cheerfully, though enduring fright ful fatigues. Few .slept more than three hour. Tho battalions, hour af tr EST TIONESTA, hour, toiled througi the heavy sand un complaiiiingly, and when uow and then a man fell out of the ranks exhausted he would rejoin his company Liter after he had rested. Some 50 or CO were over come by tho heat and had to be seut to the rear in the backward defile of empty wagons. The rapidity of Lord Roberts' move ments away from his base has solved one of the problems, per Imps the chief problem, of the war. He and Lord Kitchener have created a mobile force. iible to move in exterior lines, and to outflank the Boers, themselves so woa derfully mobile. The position of the Boer army at Spytfontein being untenable, General Crouje ordered a retreat. BOERS' GREAT KINDNESS. A llrltinli (Surgeon Trained Treatment of Wounded -The Opponent Frateruixed. Arundel, Feb. 19. Captain Long. burst, of the British medical corps spent a night at Hobkirk's furni, attend uig the wounded Australians. .He says the enemy were remarkably kind to the wounded, providing them with mat tresses and gave them all the eggs they Uart. Tho Boer conunauder and Captain Longhurst found that they had mutual friends m Loudon and were soon on the (jKXEHAL FRENCH. best terms. The Boers and the British wounded fraternized. Noticing that the bandoliers of the enemy wore filled with soft-nosed bul lets, one of our men said : "You ought not to bring such things to fire at us.' The Boers replied: "Wo must use whatever we oaiigot." This particular Txier contingent had come from tho' northern district of the Tn Jsvtuil, where the Boers are usod to hntiug big 'game along tho Limpopo, The men Lad obtained their ammunition for that purpose. After the retirement of tho British forces the Boers hel a irnyer meeting and thanked Heaven for their successes. Then they separated into small parties and moved to their various outposts, chanting hymns as they went. . DAN HANNA WEDS MRS. MAUD. Divorced Son of the Senator I lilted to . Divorcee.

State Department failed I'non to OIt Information as to Whether the Ilrltlh Cennor Opened Hia OHlelal Mail Ma crum (ione to Vailiintoii. Washington, Feb. 20. In the house, is a matter of privilege, Mr. Hitt (Ills.) reported back from the committee on foreign affairs tho Wheeler resolution calling upon the Btate department for information as to tho truth of the charges of Mr. Macrum, ex-consul at Pretoria, concerning the opening of his mail by the British authorities, and it was adopted without debate. MR. MACRUM IS READY. Gone to Wanhlngton Said He Waa Will ing to Prove the Statement He Made. PiTTsBi-Ru, Feb. 19. Charlef, E. Ma crum, late United States consu: at Pre toria, was in the city a short time last evening euronte from his home in East Liverpixil, O., to Washington. He said he had not been called to tho capital by tho state department and was going there on no special errand. He simply wanted to be in Washington in easeany thing happened in which he might be in terested. Macrum does not seem a bit worried about the outcome of the statement. And ho said so, too, but added that he hoped that nothing of a serious char acter in the way of international com plications with Great Britain would re sult. In answer to questions the ex consul said: "I have not ono word to take back in the statement published over my signa ture a few dnys ogo. I fully appreciated tho seriousness of such a statement and that is why I refused to be interviewed or discuss the matter offhand. I took plenty of time to write it and read it over more than once to mnke sure that I made no blunders. Now I am ready and willing to prove every word it con tained." LAST HONORS TO CLINE. Soldier 1j(I of the Tenth Hurled at Washington, Pa.-Killed In the Philippine. Washington, Pa., Feb. 19. Jacob O.

Important llranche of Hualne Affected Probable Kneel of the Frick Holt. New Tokk, Feb. 17. R. G. Dun A Co.'b weekly review of trade issued to day said in part: Business continues larger than ever at this season in amount of payments, and on the whole as large as ever in retail deliveries, though new transactions do not yet give asmrance that it will hold at the same rate. Conditions affecting uew orders and contracts have changed iu some respects most favorably, while other changes tend to restrict operations for a time, but a conservative judgment of the conflicting tendencies appear to warrant strong hope. Important branches of business are hindered by labor troubles, of which the building trade strike at Chicago affects the greatest number of contracts for in dustrial products and the labor and wages of the greatest number of men. The rise in wheat also brings out larger western receipts in two weeks, 6,444,292 bushels, against 6,230,t.'6 bush els last year, but Atlantic exports, flour Included, in the same weeks have been only 3,645,408 bushels, against 6,192,407 bushels last year. The price closed cent higher for the week. Corn exports of 6,241,000 bushels, against 4,807,215 for the same week laast year, seem to justify the rise of 1 cent, as western receipts fall a little below laist year's, iu two weeks, 11,035,978 bushels, against 21,058,979 bushels last year. The suit of Mr. Frick against the Car negie company to obtain an accounting and settlement discloses enormous profit made when prices of steel product doubled last year, but when peace wo kept by the gigantic iron and steel com binations. That results of great im portance may spring from a contest af fecting the control of so many iron works is evident. The new sheet company has united ownership of 1(50 mills, it is said, but four widely known concerns controlling 65 mills refused to join. Prices of pig have not changed, thongh considerable sales, including some for exjxirt, are re ported, but the excess of supply over de maud, which appeared in January, is in creased by tho starting of a new furnace with a capacity of 600 tons daily. Wool sales at three eastern market! have been only 12,134,456 pounds in two weeks, against 12,3(15,300 last yoar. The interior still believes in a further ad vance, but buying of wool on sheeps' bucks has stopped, and the manufacture has made it clear that the mills hold large stocks to fill recent ordors. Can- cellutions become so numerous as tj cause some uneasiness, but as vet. mil help mills which have taken more orden than they can fill. Failures for two weeks have been $5,357,180; mauufac turing, $2,386,283; and trading, $2.569,. COO, Failures for the week were 218 in the United States, against 178 last year, and j in Lanada, against 18 last year. Party of Aged People. Washington, Pa., Feb. 16. Mrs. G W.

Ex-Consul Macrum issued a sfc toment that he came home for the purpose of laying before his government the facts tlmt tho British censor was stopping his cablegrams, censoring his letters, etc., that in spite of a proclamation warning Americans to observe neutrality they were joining the Boers, some declaring their allegiance to the Transvaal. Al though urged to stiy where he was, he flimlly obtained permission to return, but when he arrived, he found he had been dismissed, which, he attributed to British influence. In reiford to the order to lixik after British interests, he said he did so, but he did not know he was seut there as British consul, but as United States consul. He said he did not know, while consul, that there was a "seTet alli ance" between Great Britain and the United States. He accused Secretary Hay of being iu a scheme to ruin- his character.
