THE Boer plan is to retreat TO the Lyden-

avert. the catastrophe. but the condition
and strength OF the Boer forces after the

that Lord Roberts will prefer the bolder
course and try to end this war right now.
Many points In the recent operations
are obscure. Thus the long pause of Gen
eral Lyttleton at Sundays river and the
subsequent silence suggests that he may
cooperate with General Ruddle TO finish
the Free Staters' resistance. There has
been no distinct report from General Me-
thuen since that from Hoopstad. He prob
ably crossed the Vaal near Parys.
Lord Roberts marches on a very broad
front, with his cavalry wings thrown for
ward. General Butler probably cannot
adopt the same plan in the very rugged
country of northern Natal, but, once Butler
is up the hills or on the table lands of the
Transvaal, he will be able to spread out
and move rapidly.
Lord Roberts has a wonderful power of
picking a special man for every special
work. Ian Hamilton, the brilliant general.
was shot to pieces at Majuba in the first
Boer war. Since then he made a great
mark in training the Indian army TO shoot
straight and was himself one of the best
officers in India. Another tried and able
man is Sir William Nicholson, who was
chief of staff TO General Lockhard in Tirah.
He IS now running all the transport service
for General Roberts, whose army. since IL
reached Bloemfontein. has been well sup
piled. Nothing shows the great commander
more than his finding his men and giving
them free hand. Roberts himself has in
comparable dash and boldness, coupled
with great circumspection; hence I expect
rapid strokes now the crisis is at hand

NOT YET DONE CELEBRATING.
Londoners Continue to Make Noise
Around Baden-Powelfs Residence.

Copyright, 1900, by the Associated Press.)
LONDON, May 26.-The Queens BIRTH
day was made an excuse for prolonging
the Mafeking celebrations. Major General
Baden-Powell. naturally enough, is the
hero OF the hour. While Colonel Mahon is
the reliever of the town he is almost as
much a nonentity as when the name of
the commander of the relieving column was
undisclosed. Colonel Mahon is said to be
General Lord Kitchener's favorite officer,
and the sirdar is reported to have tele-
graphed to him to come from south Of
Khartoum to South Africa. To obey this
mandate, il is added, Mahon drove to death
no fewer than five camels while crossing
the desert. He is a member of an old Gal
way family and relative OF Sir Edward
Henry Carson, the new solicitor general.
Parades OF students and others that
would do credit to the Latin quarter OF
Paris continue to make the house OF Major
General Baden-Powell's mother their OBJ
jective. A noticeable feature of the re-
jcicings Is the prevalence everywhere of
the stars and stripes, which was never be-
fore displayed to such an extent. and which
Is almost always next to or intertwined
with the Union Jack. Commenting on this
fact, the ST. James Gazette says: This
is as IT should be-"
The proprietors of weekly paper
adopted a novel experiment in celebrating
and advertising combined. by buying 50 900
flags and distributing them gratis.
1t is interesting to note that with the
exceptional of General Hunter. Baden-Pow-
ell is the youngest major general in the
British army.
The Mafeking rejoicings have caused the
weekly papers to print serious articles on
the increase OF hysterical outburts in Eng
land. and they ask the question If the race
is really losing its characteristics. A curl
Gus feature OF the demonstrations was the
enormous number Of buttons bearing Bad
en-Powelrs and Roberts's photographs. The
public here has taken up the button fad
with energy equal to anything in its
history In America The bulk OF these but
tons were imported from America. the
shrewd manufacturers having secured
