London. May So-As Lord Roberts
had heretofore always fulhled his pre-
dictions It is taken for granted here
that the British marched into johann
uesburg at noon today. Indeed reports
are current that kilograms have al
ready been received announcing the
fact. and the serious part Of the cam
paign, from the military point Of view,
is regarded as over.
WANT TO CATCH KRUGER.
Any prolonged defense Of Pretoria is
considered highly improbable, and many
military men anticipate that Gen.
French win capture the Transvaal oapi-
tai within a day or two with a sudden
and unexpected movement Public in
terest centers largely in President
Kruger, his capture or escape.
The occupation OF Pretoria would be
largely robbed OF It's value in the esu-

dying embers Of war.
JOHANNESBURG QUIET.
a Pretoria dispatch says the situa-
ton at Johannesburg shows, as report
cd by Lord Roberts. that order is main
TUNED from the gold reef city.
The report that the British were
driven back evidently refers 10 the pro-
longed fighting Of Gen. French vest
wards Of johannesburg. But, appar-
entity, the British were not seriously
checked as Lord Roberts does not
mention 1t in his dispatch "A hours

A dispatch from Mafeking, dated Fri
day May 25th reports that Gen. Suy-
man, the Boer commander, has left his

IN MEM0RIAM.

The fields which we set our tents,
Within the Southland long ago,
When time, surcherged with great events,
Was prone TO ialter and move slow
We hold them IN memory
AS then we them, tented white;
The swarming hosts in blue we see,
And eannpfires cleaning in the night
We hear the morning bugle sound;
Camp after camp takes up the strain;
With music III the hills resound-
Vocal is every wood and plain.
There is no earthly harmony
That, TO a soldier, can compare
With that far-sounding reveille
OF bugles on the morning air.
But hod-I speak as one who dreams;
Those fields now lie in peace profoundly
No tent is there, no campfire CLEANS,
No scars OF war deface the ground.
Where once great armies marched and fought
The herds in drowsy quiet feed;
Dull records OF the deeds they wrought
In printed books our children read.
Nor does the tranquil earth alone
Bear witness OF the reign OF peace,
Humming in happy monotone
song OF Joy for her release
From human strife; but hate Is dead
In hearts where wars fierce passions burnedi
Yea, all hates ugly brood have fled,
And love, triumphant has returned
Today on Luzons stubborn strand
Wars sanguinary ensgns gleam
But though beneath their red bars stand
Our brothers, struggling for the dream
OF freedom az OF yore-p praise God
No iratrcidal strife there brings
Sons Of one country TO the sod
Ger all one star-gemmed banner swings.
Yearly when smiling May appears,
Impartial Nature yields her flowers,
And raindrops, sparkling bright as'tears,
In soft and raiubo w-tinted showers,
To deck alike each soldier mound
In all the reunited land
While silent, as on holy ground,
With lovv-bowed heads the millions stand.
