ARE NOT IN PRETORIA
British Have Not Yet Gained Admission
TO Boer Capital.

British Have Not Yet Gained Admission
to Boer Capital.
Lord Roberts continues silent regard
ing Pretoria, says a London June 2
dispatch, probably because he cannot
wire OF events from his own knowledge.
Lorenzo Marquee, where all the news
from the Boer side is rehandled, cables
that communication with Pretoria is
now suspended.
Some messages by courier have
reached Lorenzo Marquee, but none
OF latter date than Wednesday. These
assert that the burghers are in a state
Of panic and that Pretoria is being
controlled by a vigilance committee.
Lorenzo Marquee again sends the re-
port that President Kruger has been
captured.
The lack Of news gives rise to a sus-
picion that the citizens committee at
Pretoria may not have been able TO
carry out their plans by securing the
peaceful entry Of Lord Roberts and
sparing the city the horrors of a siege.
