Marquez brings from ten r<> at* recruits,
and a short time ago such a large num
ber of men were clamoring for transpor
tation from the Portuguese town that an
train was run for their accommo
dation."
Two direct lines of steamers arrived at
Lorenzo Marquez, the German East Af
rican and the French lines, and each is
carrying all the passengers from Naples to
Marseilles that it can accommodate.,
For the most part the passengers of
these bouts buy tickets to Durkin, but
loave the boats at Lorenzo Marquez in
order to give a wrong impression to the
BdHsh oUlcers who search the vessels at
Aden.
l'ue Boer hero of the first four months
of tho war is Louis Botha, the victor of
Colenso and Spionkon, and the youngest
general in the republican armies. Tho
Boers are stoical to have many popular
heroes, but the name of Rntha is on
•very tongue in rbe republics.
Tho fight at Spionkop in the latter
part of January was the first of anv con
sequence, inasmuch as a British victory
would have been followed by the raising
of the siege of Ladysmith. A defeat for
tho Boers would have changed tho tide
of the entire caniimign in Natal and to
guard against a calamity General Jou-
bert placid General Botha in charge..
To show how successful General Botha
was in combatting the British forces it
is only necessary t«> say that seven day_
after the battle there remained on tho
sides of Spionkop and in the valley lie-
low more than Too bodies of English sol
diers, while the total loss of the Boers
was f»0 killed and 1*28 wontujed.
The total Boer force <mgaged in *ho
fight Was not more than while the
British force was no less than 8,000 aud
probably twice that numlior. Both na
tions seem to be proud of his victory,
but he shares the glory with his soldiers
who made such slaughter.
AT
F IRST thought we want to impress is the fact that none but worthy merchandise is ever
offered at this store at any price. There is absolutely no risk to the bargain.
The economy is never experimental.

London, March 30.—Reports that Lord
Roberts will remain at Bloemfontein an
other month nr.* probably intended for
Boer consumption mid the recent move
ment of troops and other indications
point, to preparations being well ad
vanced for a forward movement. The
entire silence of the cables this morning
is regarded ns significant. \
The.Boers bomkirdcd the town of
Matching Monday and Tuesday, but did
little damage and hones are entertained
tluit it may prove to have U en the final
effort to reduce the place b< fm o raising
the siege.
It is now suggested that the apixireut
Inactivity of the British at Warrenton is
merely designed to impress the Boers
with the notion that they are checking
the Mafckiug relief column which, in re
ality, is advancing bv a westward de
tour. Color is lent t*. this view by tho
fact that 8,000 troo|w commanded by
Colonel Drummond and accnnt|Kinied by
