Louknzo Marquez, May 10.—A Por tuguese official dispatch says an enc ter 1ms occurred at Mafcking and that the B.M>rs have been repulsed with heav losses. Loxdox, May HI.—The most imf*or taut developments today is the state mout cabled from Cape Town aimouuc ing that the Boer delegates had advised the Trmisvualers to surrender if do- feat4*fi «t the Vaal. This remarkable announcement is vouched for on good authority and evidently obtains more; cre dence in Cape Town than would n mere minor. The occupation of Glencoe was merely a logical result of General Bullor’s ad vance. As usual the Boers are reported to be flying precipitately, but also as usual the accounts add that their trans port trains were removed in safety, which is » contradiction of any state ment that the Boers were panic stricken. Nothing further hus been heard from Mafekiug and it is reasonable to suppose that the conditions there are unchanged. The prolongation of the siege only in tensifies Great Brituiu's anxiety to hear of its relief. About 1,100 more troops have arrived at Bcira, Portuguese Kast Africa. Among them is Lord Dunriiven, who ac companies the Craven sharpshooters. Apparently Ixml Roberts is still wait ing at Krooustadt, preparatory to mak ing a swift movement on the Vaal river. Boers Resort to Tieaeliery. London*, May 10.—The war office has posted the following from Lord Roberts: Two officers and Fix men of Prince Alexis guards, while out a few miles from Krooustadt, visited a farm flying a white flag, the owner of which surren dered himself with arms and atninnni- lion. They then approached unother farm also flying a white flag, when within 40 yards of the enclosure they wore fired upon by 15 or 10 Boors con cealed behind the* farm wall. Two of the men were killed, Lieutenant F. B., Walton was wounded and Lieutenant W. B. Devert4m and two non-commis sioned officers were taken prisoners.’ Buller Occupies Glencoe. London, May 10.—The war office has posted the following from Geueral Bul ler: “We have occupii*l Glencoe. The Trunsvaulers have now evacuated Big- garsburg. The Fret* ^tutors on the Drakenslmrg aro much reduced in num bers. The Carolina Lydeiiborgnud Pre toria commandoes trekked north from Illatikulo on May 13 and 14 with 11 guns. The guus were entrained at Gleucoo. The last train with ambulance left then* at dawn May 15.’* CRUCIAL TEST WILL COME AT VAAL RIVER Mr. Weasels Says Boers Will Show Their Strength.

Nkw York, May 16.—Beyond a driv through Central jn-k aiul tin, l . places of interest no program wa.- ■ ranged fill- till, Boer envoys. They > •bn forenoon in answering lelegm; ami letters from more than 60 yitit tile United States from where they Inn: been received. An effort is being made to so arrany a plan that the envoys can visit a ma jority of the cities. U. II. Wossels. mu of tile envoys, discredited the cable tlis jsitclt to tile effect that President Steve of till, I trance Free Suite is said to In , i laxlied tlie Free SUiters to make tl .-m fight. Mr. Wessels was also asked concern ing tile English advances and successes reported in recent cables. He said; “Everything in general is according to the plan of notion prepared for some time. Every time wo fall back it is given out as a British success, bnt it is all a preconcerted plan and docs not hurt ns in any way. The final crisis has not yet conic. What I consider the crucial test will be at tho Vaal river near Pretoria. I do not think that the stories published about the British suc cesses are neutral news, but highly opti mistic from a British standpoint. Delicious ■ Reception In Washington. Washington, May 16.—No one con nected with tho Boer delegation in New York has yet communicated with the state department in relation to tho re ception of the delegates in Washington l;j the authorities. Only by indirect means bus it become known to the offi cials that the delegates will reach here within tho next three days anil that a mblic demonstration is being iirranged u their honor. BRITISH PRESS COMMENT. Two Argrm*H LymTipil. Bkookvillk, Fla., May 10. — John Ilill aufl Jeff Davis, two negroes, were allot to death by a mob near hero late last night. Hill aiul l)uvia, with Jobu Gaskins, another negro, were arrested in this county and wero being taken to Hernando comity, when an armed mob took them from the sheriff and shot Hill and Davis to death. Gaskins was badly wounded, but escaped. Boer Envoys Are Regarded as Play things For Americans. Lonimjn, May 10.—The afternoon pa pers i»y some scant attention to tho re ception accorded to the Boer delegates New York. Tho Pall Mall Gazette dubs them as playthings of American imlitioians,” and-Tho Evening Standard says: “Tlie proceedings certaiuly showed unfriendliness to Groat Britain, but no !C(ls will I >o forthcoming to prove tho sympathy of tho United States. Had American statesmen previously taken any interest in President Kruger’s offer to brils! them with a protectorate would have finally settled the matter.” Hot Biscuit are made with Royal Baking Powder, and are the most appe tizing, healthful and nutritious of foods.
