eoER WAR -NEARS END.
Both Wings of Botha's Main Position
Carried by Bul1er's Force.

Both Wings Of Botha's Main Position
Carried by Buller's Force.
A dispatch from London says there is
very buoyant feeling in the city, the
clubs and the public offices and in fact
in London generally, due to the prevail
ing impression that the South African
war is running out to its last dregs. Lord
Roberts last dispatch shows that the sa-
lient points on both wings Of Gen.
Botha's position have been carried in
Buffers advance. The troops occupied
MachadOdorp, President Kruger's most
recent capital, on Tuesday. The Beers
evacuated this place with great precipi-
tation, hut this was probably due to
knowledge Of French's movements.
The British cavalry general had work
ed right around the north of the Boer
lines and was almost opposite Buffers
position and few miles away from him
at Elandsfontein. Thus, unless the
Beers had decamped hastily. they would
haye found themselves caught between
two British columns and could scarcely
have saved their guns and transport.
Whether they will yet be able to ac-
cOmplish their escape seems very uncer-
tain. They were facing Buffers troops
in the rocky position called Helvetia. but
they cannot stay there long without Sing
surrounded. as the English divisions come
up. II their intention is to prolong re-
sistance further. their only hope seems
to be to retire to the mountainous Lyden-
burg region and subsequently to the
northern Transvaal. There are, however.
persistent reports that the capture Of the
Delagoa Bay Railway by Lord Roberts
will be accepted by them as final proof
Of defeat.
