THE WAR IN AFRICA.

A leading stage Ia the South African
war was brought 10 close yesterday
when Lord Roberts's British troops oc
cupied Pretoria.
No defense was made OF the city It.
self or the forts around 1t, though the
Boers made a hard fight at Six Mile
spruit or creek, about 10 miles south oI
the capital. The battle began about noon
on Monday. The Beers were en- both
banks Of the spruit end the British at
tsckec.
After some fighting the burghers re-
treated and the British followed Until
they found themselves under heavy
fire from concealed cannon. 1t was al
other trap" but on account OF Lord
Roberts's vastly superior numbers il
did not succeed. After an artillery con
I hics the Beers retired, taking their can
non safely away. They next tried tc
turn the British left, and made somt
progress, but General Hamilton ar
rived with reinforcements and the Boeri
fnally retreated. The fight had con
tinued until dark and the invaders co
camped on the battlefield.
Gems. French and Hutton we're sent
north Of Pretoria and Lord Roberts pre-
pared to advance with his main army
at dsybresk yesterday. An officer with
a flag OF truce was sent TO demand the
surrender OF Pretoria. Just before mid
night messengers from Gen. Louis
Boths, the Boer conn ander 10 chief
visited Lord Roberts and proposed ar
armistice for the purpose OF settling
terms OF surrender. Lord Roberts re-
piled that be was not prepared to dis
cuss terms, as the surrender must bt
unconditional. Later Gen. Botha sent
word that be had decided not to defend
the ely. II was arranged by local OF.
fcials that the surrender should occur
at 2 %. M, at which time the British
troops entered.
Mrs. Kruger, wife OF the Boer Presi-
dent, remains in Pretoria. Lord Rob
erts cables that few Of the 4, 500 Brit
ish prisoners have been taken away,
but most OF them are still at Waterfall
in the northern suburbs OF the capital,
and will probably be released.
The Beers have divided honors to
some extent by winning an important
success while Lord Roberts has been
moving on Pretoria. This was the cap
ture of the Thirteenth Yeomanry Bat.
tallion-4O0 or 500 men, it Ia supposed
10 London-on May 81. Lord Roberts
either did not hear the full purport OF
the news or be withheld it until he
could announce his occupation Of Pre-
toria as an Offset. The yeomanry were
attacked near Lindley, in the northern
part of the Orange Free State, % miles
east of the railway. Lord Methuen's
troops were sent post haste to rescue
them, but arrived too late, Lord Roberts
estimates the Boer force which perform
ed this exploit at between 1000 and
5000 men.

The Situation in outh Africa

London, June 6.-Lord Roberts re-
ports bis formal occupation of Pretoria
yesterday afternoon 10 brief dispatch.
The troops, he said, were given a more
enthusiastic rec ,ption than he had an
ticipated. II is expected that the first
step toward psciiyiBg the Transvaal
will be the issuance of q proclamation
by Roberts prom sing immunity to those
burghers who lay down their arms aud
take the oath OF allegiance. The &c =
ond step, it is believed, will be the dis
patch OF an expedition against the Beers
who are supposed to be rallying 10 the
north. The capture OF the Duke OF
Cambridge's regiment near Lindley
partly mars the rejoicing at the ending
of the war. II 10 believed that cavalry
achievements will bs sent at once to
General Methuen for the purpose Of
following up the burghers who cap
tured the yeomanry.
