[By CABLE TRIBUNEl
London June 4, 1 a. m.-The latest dispatches
from General Roberts do not throw much fresh
light on the situation in South Africa, The
mystery Of Pretoria is still unexplained, and the
only interesting information is that the Beers
had removed all their guns from Johannesburg
with the exception of antiQuated 6-inch
woolwich howitzer and two Krupp quick-frers
before the town was surrendered to the British.
The Queenslanders have accomplished a smart
piece of work in capturing from the Beers one
of their Creusot guns and eleven wagons of
stores and ammunition General Roberts does
not attempt 10 account for the removal by the
Federals of the bulk of their guns from the
Gold Reef City. but possibly good use was made
by the burghers of the twenty-four hours
rnistice granted by the English Field Marshal to
the local cOmmandant.
Another Botha has fallen into the hands of
the British. but he, too. is evidently not the
F3oer Commander in Chief The hundred prs-
oners captured during the fighting round Johan-
nesburg included some members Of the Trans
vaaI Irish Brigade and 1t Will be interesting to
see how these will be dealt with by the
British military authorities.
Last night some sensation was caused in Lon
don and Manchester by rumor that Johannes
burg had been blown up and that there had
been great loss of life, but nothing was known
at the War Office to warrant the assumption
that any such disaster had taken place, and the
rumor is apparently groundless.
Meanwhile nobody outside the city itself seems
10 be aware of what is going on at Pretoria. 1t
is toIerabIy certain that President KrIger has
fed and that the Boer officials are hurrying
away as fast as possible. but it is impossible to
state with any degree OF certainty where they
are making for. Pretoria ought to be under
the British flag within week. but it is now
known that Lord RossIyn could have had no sub
stantiaI ground for the statement in his famous
telegram last Wednesday that the British army
was within two hours march of the Transvaal
capital There is, however, a consensus Of
opinion that something like mutiny must have
broken out among the prisoners. Some of them
have managed to escape and join General Rob
erts. and ii Will not be surprising TO learn that
more and more get away the British ap-
proach the town.
i is rather curious that no information has
come from General Butler for the last day
two. The position at Laing's Mex should have
been affected by the advance Of Lord Roberts.
and yet If the Beers had entirely left the north
ern portion Of Natal il is reasonable to sup
pose that official dispatch would have been
received announcing the fact Possibly some
movement Of Importance is in progress.

London June f. 6 a. m-No trustworthy news
is at hand regarding Pretoria Messages from
Lourenco Marques with reference to the situa-
ton in the Transvaa capital are as confusing
AID as contradictory ever. The British
troops were reported to be at Irene, seven miles
south of Pretoria, last Thursday. and heavy fir
ing had been heard there, while at the same
time Boer army ten thousand strong was said
to be guarding the approaches to the city.
An Express telegram says the spirit of re-
sistance among the burghers has been rekindled
by the stirring speeches of Louis Botha and
Lucas Meyer, two of the best Boer generals.
They addressed excited crowds in Pretoria on
Tuesday. calling upon them to fight to the bitter
end, and obtained an enthusiastic response.
Enormous quantities of stores and ammuni-
ton have been removed from the city to
Machadodorp, on the confines of the Lydenburg
Mountain country, whittier President Kruger
has fed. and where. it is thought, the Beers
contemplate making their final stand.
It is reported that General De Wet and Presi-
dent Steyn have gone toward Kroonstad with
the object of cutting the communications of the
British army. Possibly. therefore, General Rob
erts has been waiting at Orange Grove which
is four or h7e miles north Of johannesburg.
until he is satisfied that his presence with REIN
forcements is not needed further south.
President KRUGER, according TO a Chronicle"
telegram. is seriously i'll. He is said to be suf-
fering from paralysis Of the brain. I. n. F.
