ROBERTS AFTER THE BOERS.
Gen. Hamilton Captures Town OF
Winburg.
BRITISH CROSS THE VET RIVER.
Operations on Kimberley Side Indicate
That Mafeking Is Objective OF Move
ment-Activity on Whole Line-Re-
ports Mostly from British Side.

London, May S.-Lord Roberts is
moving his armies rapidly northward,
the Beers everywhere retreating before
his advance. Winberg, where it has
all along been believed the Beers
would make a determined stand, has
fallen into British hands, apparently
without a struggle. A part of the
British forces have crossed the Vet
river. On the west Gen. Warren is
having more resistance, and has evil
IDENTIFY fought a severe engagement.
The Beers, following their customary
practice, had evacuated their position
on the Vet river during Saturday
night AS Lord Roberts, advancing
along the railway, and Gen. Hamilton,
twenty miles to the east. threatened
the two wings of the Boer forces, it
would not be surprising to hear that
they had also evacuated Winburg.
Gen. Hamilton's advance will prevent
the Boer forces in the direction OF
Thaba N'Chu joining their main army
near Winburg. The passage of the
Vet river by Roberts was accom-
plished after three hours devoted to
Smelling out the Beers across the river
and an attempt of the infantry under
Gen. Hutton and a body of mounted
men to cross. Lord Roberts says he
"hopes his casualty list is not great"
Saturday he camped three miles north
OF the Vet river
There now appears to be every rea-
son to believe the Winburg report is
true, as it falls in with the British plan
of advance.
Gen. Rumble has also been busy with
the Beers near Thaba N'Chu. He
claims to have forced them off their
original line of retreat toward Brands
Spruit, place not on the map. The
main Boer headquarters are still at
Smaaldeel, six miles north of the Vet
river. On the Kimberley side Gen.
Barton's brigade of Hunters division
fought a sharp action at Ruidam Sat-
urday, the result not yet being clear.
The same is the case in Gen. Paget's
attack on Warrenton. 1t is now al
most certain that Gen. Hunters move
ments are not wholly connected with
the relief of Mafeking. He is likely to
move up the north bank of the Vaal
river, thus supporting Roberts.
Another force left Kimberley secret
ly some days ago and this Is charged
with the relief of Mafeking. Already
Boer reports say the siege has been
abandoned, but these, at least, are
probably mature.

Wants $4,000 for Hair Cut.

Havana, May S.-The Spanish bull
fighter Mocalvo, while en- route to
Spain from Mexico, came ashore at
Havana. He was arrested for drunk
enness, and Capt Pitcher, who i'm
posed a fine, ordered also that Mccall
vo's hair be cut. This was done, and
the Spanish bull fighter now claims
damages to the amount of $4,000, con-
tending that on account Of having his
hair cut he would not be permitted to
enter the bull ring, it being necessary
to have a queue.
