Democrats and Republicans!
In fact it matters not with what
political party you are affiliated, yon
should be a Protectionist in one re
spect. That is to say you should
protect yourselves against loss by
the destruction of your property by
fire; and what Ls still more essential,
protect your families against the loss
of their support by the death of the
person who produces that support—
the husband the father. This latter
protection can be obtained practical
ly without expense, since it is pos
sible, and in fact compulsory, for the
life insurance company to safely in
vest the funds paid into their hands,
and, after a term of years, return
same with profits to policy holders,
if living, on demand.
This matter should command your sori
ons attention. Delay is dangerous
and expensive. You will therefore
do well to consult the agent in regard
to the merits of the Penn Mutual
Life Insurance Company of Phila
delphia, which is justly reputed lo
be the most conservative and the
most economical as well as the most
liberal and equitable in its dealings
with policy holders.
It is no experiment or adventure
but by all odds the safest and best
investment you can make, besides
furnishing protection to your family.
The Penn Mutual is already over
5:1 years old and has over U00,000,000
of insurance in force, several hun
dred thousand dollars of which is in
Sullivan county.
You may obtain all desired infor
mation by addressing

Thus Cables President Kruger
from Machadodorp.
10.000 BOERS SO SWEAR
Qtneral Botha Makes au Impassioned
Z Appeal to Monster Mass Meeting of the
Burghers In Pretoria's Public Square—
Urges Them Not to Gift In, but Fight.
Now York, June 4.—The following
cable was received here yesterday:
"The Transvaal burghers are full of
courage. We will fight to the bitter
end. KRUGEIt, President."
(Oom I'a ul K niger. t
Lorenzo Marquez. June 4.—The
Boers are determined to tight, even if
they have to abandon Pretoria. A des
perate stand will probably be made
at I.ydenburg.
The latest news from Pretoria is
that ]o,ooo burghers met in the Pub
lic Square to listen to General Botha,
who addressed them from the balcony
of the Government building. In au
impassioned speech lie declared that
they should not give in without a
struggle.
lie roused the feelings of all to such
a pitch that all swore unanimously to
goon to the bitter end.
Lucas Meyer and others also spoke.
Fifteen trains dail" .ire being sent
to Machadodorp with supplies for Ly
denburg.
Pretoria is full of excitement. The
ordinary Government work is suspend
ed. The city is under martial law,
with General Botha in command.
The seat of government is now at
Middleburg.
Pretoria is pictured by the refugees
as in a state of indescribable confusion
and chaos. The British are expected
hourly.
Some foreign attaches have arrived
at Lorenzo Marquez. They consider
that organized war on the Transvaal
aide la at an end.
Flying among the Boers are reports
that the British have been beaten back
at Lindley, with heavy loss, that the
main attack on Elandsfonlein failed
and Lord Roberts was forced to retire
to Klipsriverberg, that the railway
lias been cut behind him south of Ver
ecnlging, and that a provision train
has been captured.
The revival of the Boer fighting
power east of Lord Roberts's advance,
although fruitless, is a symptom that
the Boers are not yet crushed.
in General Bundle's attack on the
intrenched Boers, seven miles east of
Senekal the British did not see a Boer
all day, so completely were they screen
ed. The 18:! losses wired by Lord
Roberts were suffered by the Gren
adiers and Scots Guards while advanc
ing.
The scene during the battle was
wonderfully picturesque, rolling bil
lows of smoke, higher than the highest
kopje, obscuring the combatants. The
roar of artillery and the crackle of
musketry, under the light of the
flames of the burning veldt, combined
to produce a picture of appalling gran
deur, but terrible for those engaged
within its field.
In the advance of the Grenadiers,
Colonel Lloyd led in the face of a
deadly lire. lie was hit, but struggled
on. only to be disabled by another
bullet.
Lieutenant Murray, falling, cried
"Forward, Grenadiers!" The bliuding
smoke of the burning veldt hampered
the operations.
Lieutenant Lord Seymour, on offer
ing togo back to direct the artillery,
was wounded. The order to retire waa
given and executed under u screen of
amoke. The Boer lire was kept up
until dusk.
General Bundle withdrew his whole
force at sundown to Senekal. The
Boers sent to the British for medical
help, saying that Commander De Vll
liers was seriously wounded. General
Bundle sent a doctor with a bottle of
eluuupagne and his coiuplimeuts.
The Boers have now withdrawn
from Lindley, and Colonel Sprogge
has been able to extricate the Duke of
Cambridge's yeomanry from their dif
ficulties.
The whole army of Free Staters is
now between Senekal. Liudlev and
Hcksburg. It is reported to be com
posed chiefly of desperate men who
would not goto the Transvaal to fight
|H}d who-are too proud to surrender,
ifheir t9Jtal number is believed to be
from 3,000 to 4,000.

publican parties and various societies
went in different tugs. each having a
hand, to hid him welcome.
The motives that have induced him
to return are the subject of much
speculation. Many believe that
era) Gomez, disappointed at the atti
tude taken toward him by the people
of Santo Domingo. has come back to
Cuba to engage In an active campaign
for the future presidency of the Cu
ban Republic.
An intimate friend of tionicz says
that if the political parties refuse to
combine he will establish a Cuba Libre
party of his own and endeavor to ob
tain a plebiscite of the entire island,
expecting in that way to force Un
political leaders to adopt his proposal,
if only in the hope of a future office.
It is rumored that, for such a pur
pose. Gomez lias been promised funds
by a number of wealthy men, includ
ing a United Stairs Senator, who is
said to have offered $500,000 on cer
tain conditions, to which (lomez will
undoubtedly agree.
It is said his lirst step will be to
bring all his influence to bear in favor
of the election to the Mayoralty of
Havana of General Alejandro Rodri
guez. partly for personal and partly
for political considerations.
Already his friends bave issued a
statement saying that early in the
week he will attempt to consolidate
the Democratic, Republican and Na
tionalist parties, with a view of bring
ing about a harmonious constitutional
convention in this city in August.
The authors of this statement con
tend that such a convention is the only
path to independence.
It is reported that Gomez while at
San Domingo said lie was returning to
Havana to bring about the complete
and absolute independence of Cubu.
and that he had such a convention in
view.
