TO PRESERVE

one that will holds Its color

ers Surrender.
London, May 33.—Lord Roberts is ad
vancing in force. The wait at Kroon-
stadt is over jind already the main Brit
ish army is about 30 miles north of its
former resting place. Judging from the
dispatches fron Lord Roberts at Honing-
spruit station while flanking him on
either side of ‘the railroad General
French’s cavalry and General Ian Ham
ilton’s mounted infantry are both slighty
in the advance of Lord Roberts and
threatening to envelope the Boer posi
tion, which extends 20 miles due north.
The main British army will probably
advance along the railroad while Gen
eral French converges from the west,
and General Hamilton from the east.
Against this overwhelming force the
Boers will probably follow their usual
factic.4 of retiring to positions, which
doubtless have been prepared in advance
for their occupation.
Since the last dis|mtch left Honing
Spruit Lord Roberts bus doubtless still
further advauced and by now is either
■ngaging or following tin* retreating
Boers.
The first word received from Baden-
Fowell at Bfafekiug heightens rather
than diminishes the reports heretofore
cabled of the gallantry exhibited by the
garrison during rbe closing days of- tho
siege.
Details or Battle at Maieking.
London, May 23.—War .office issues a
dispatch from- Lord Roberts at Honing-
spruit, announcing the receipt by him
of the following message from General
Baden-Poffell at Mafeking:
‘‘I am happy to inform yon that Mafe-
kiug has been successfully relieved. The
northern and southern columns joined
hands on May 15 and attacked tne en
emy and after a small engagement en
tirely defeated them with loss. The
British casualties were three killed and
22 wounded.
'The relieving force marched into
Mafeking and the relief and defense
forces combined and moved out and at
tacked the enemy’s head laager. We
shelled them out of their position and
took one gun, a flag and a large amount
of ammunition stores, etc. Five dead
and 15 wounded Boers wei*e found. The
enemy appears to be retreating in all
directions except one commando, which
irflyinglow, possibly to cover the re
treat of the remainder.” .
Lord Roberts’ dispatch further says:
“Ian Hamilton has reached Heilbren
after a series of engagements with a
Boer force nnder Dewet, who is retiring
before him. Broadwood has captured 15
Boer wagons. There have been 75 cas
ualties in Hamilton’s force. We marched
here this morning.”
F.GHT FO„ NAVAL STATION. DAK^ING, CARDS AND
THEATER FORBIDDEN !
Charleston Seem* to Have Best Chance
of Getting It,
Washington, May 23.—In their efforts
to secure a hearing upon the proposition
to give the secretary, of the navy power
to select some other city than Charles
ton for the naval station which is to be
transferred from Port Royal, the Savan
nah delegation has had the active as
sistance of both Georgia senators and
members of the house. A hearing
has been promised and at that time the
arguments in favor of extending the
field so that the secretory may select the
best city on the south Atlantic coast
will bo
favor of the selection of some other pi
than Charleston and prefers either
Brunswick or Savannah. The indica
tions are, however, that Senator Till-
prominence on the senate com
mittee gives him such an advantage ns
will make it easy for him to control the
final disposition of that matter. He is
senate conferees on the bill
and bo claims that Senator Hale and
Senator Perkins, the other conferees,
are as much for Charleston as he is. It
looks very much as if Charleston has the
inside of the situation.
Secretary Long is duelerstood to favor
Savannah, but if the bill passes as it
stands with the senate amendment the
secretary will have no alternative but to

London, May 23.—The Boers, it is
stated, have definitely. determined to
make a stand at the Rheinoster river,

that they are going to hurl back the

WASHINGTON ON THE NEGRO
He Is Opposed to the Repeal of the
Fifteenth Amendment.
Washington, May 23. — Booker T.
Washington of Tuskegee, in an address
the future of the negro at the Metro
politan A. M. E. church, said:
•la these latter days we hear much of
removing from our fundamental law tho
precious magua charta of our citizen
ship, the fifteenth amendment. Whether
wisely or unwisely, the guarantee of our
rights was placed in the constitution by
the ripest thought of the nation at the
time it was enacted, and there, in my
mind, at the behest of the conservative
and patriotic opinion of both the north
and south, it will remain while the con
stitution itself stands.
What the negro asks is equality of
opportunity. Close the door against the
negro now and within a few years the
temptation will close it against a class
of white men. The minute yon recog-
a law which taxes a negro for sup
port of government and deny him the
opportunity to make his wishes felt at
the ballot box, that minute you begin to
undermine onr whole theory of govern
ment and throw to the winds the prin
ciples for which the revolutionary war
fought.”
AMERICAN DEMAND RENEWED
Settlement of indemnity Urged—Note
Couched In Precise Terms.
Constantinople,May 23.—The United
States legation having vainly waited
four weeks for a reply to the note of
April 24, regarding the American in
demnity claims. Charge d’Affairs Gris-
com has handed to Foreign Affairs Min
ister Tewiik Pasha a new note couched
in more precise terms insisting upon a
prompt settlement.
The noto produced a great impresaion,
as tho parte thought the matter poat-
poned, if not abandoned. It is believed
that the United States will not wait so
long this time for an answer, as indul
gence so far not having made a satisfac
tory impression upon the porte.

Little Girls 3Iake a Serious Charge
Against Atlanta Pli3'sh*ian.
Atlanta, May 23.—Upon the com
plaint of three little girls Dr. N. E. Al
ford has been arrested on a technical
city charge of “disorderly conduct.”
The investigation which followed made
out a serious state offense and Dr. Al
ford was bound over to the superior
court in a bond of $500 by Recorder
Brovles.
Three or four days ago it was reported
to the police authorities that Dr. Alford
had been enticing little girls into his
place for the purpose of showing them
