CAPTURE OF BLOEMFONTEIN MARKS TURNING POINT IN SOUTH AFRICA
Reported from London and Capetown on March 15 to 19 1900, British forces hoisted the union jack over the presidency at Bloemfontein and the Free State government evacuated. Lord Roberts entered Bloemfontein with a victorious procession as Steyn fled toward Kroonstad, signaling a decisive shift in the war and a shift of government authority. Earlier dispatches note American and British political reactions to intervention and imperial federation debates amid the ongoing South Africa conflict.

Senate Deliberates on Porto Rico Revenue Bill and Duties
In Washington on March 15 the Senate finished morning business after Sullivan of Mississippi prepared to speak on the Philippines.
