NEW HAVEN MORNING JOURNAL AND COURIER TUESDAY, MARCH 20,, 3900. EARL AFRICAN WAR NEWS jtoiiEitrs ma? advance on i-iie- XOBIA X'ttOlU 1WO nillECTIONS, Tio Mitfeklng llcltct Tidings Command out Olivier Evuoiialcs Ronxvllle mil Goes Toward TCl-oonsf adt, Where President Stryn Is, London, March ID, 2.15 p. m. Neither the advance by way of Fourteen Streams, nor Colonel Plumer's movement has yet resulted in bringing news of Mafeking's relief. From Bloemfon-tein and Natal there are no important developments, and public interest re mains centered in Colonel Baden Powell's force, undistracted by events of greater military importance.

However, it appears likely that the converging of the troops toward Ma- feking Indicate a much more serious purpose than merely its relief. Judging from Lord Methuen's presence at War-rentown and the capture of the nearby passage of the Vaal at Fourteen Streams, Lord Roberts meditates an advance in Force on Pretoria by way of Rustenburg. This might start either from Fourteen Streams or Klerksdorp, and would probably coincide with an advance via Bloemfontein and Natal. Thus Lord Methuen may be given the chance to redeem his reputation, as has been done with General Gatacre. Commandant Olivier has accomplished another step in retreat from northern Cape Colony, evacuating Rouxville and going toward Kroon-Btadt, where President Steyn is.

In the house of commons to-day, in answer to a question as to the seizure of the British steamer Mashona, laden with American flour for the TransvaaJ, by the British gunboat Partridge, and whether the government, through the United States ambassador, had undertaken to meet any claims for lose or damage sustained by American citizens interested in the cargo, Mr. Brodrick confirmed the an nouncement that the prize court had released the Mashona, and added: "Her majesty's government does not admit liability in respect to claims of the' nature indicated.

Claims with respect to the non-delivery of cargo appear to be a matter for settlement between the claimants and the ship undertaking to deliver the goods.
