MOVED THE CAPT ToL.

London, June debated mes
sages from Pretoria confirm the
reports of the departure of
President Kruger with his cabi-
net and staff officials Tuesday
night and the selection at a
meeting of citizens of a commit
tee to administer the city pro-
visionally.
Since these kilograms left on
Wednesday nothing apparently
has reached Lourenzo Marquee
by telegraph from Pre- toria.
Possibly the wires have been cut.
Possibly the Boer censorship at
some intermediate point inter
cepts kilograms.
Although the war Office has
not received a word about it, nc
one in London harbors the idea
that the Boer capital is not al
ready in the hands of the English
or about To be there. The pos
ses sion of johannesburg, at all
events, as Lord Roberts has
telegraphed, is fact. States
Attorney Smuts did not depart
with President Kruger, but re
mained in Pretoria. The present
seat of Boer government, accord
ing to dispatch from Lourenz'
Marquee dated yesterday, is a
Middleburg, but it will probably
be shifted further east.
