ROBERTS MAY SOON BE THERE.
His Headquarters Expected to Go
Into the TransyaaI.

Into the TranSyaaI.
London, May 26.-As anticipated, the
first news from Lord Roberts after his
long silence was the announcement that
the British had crossed the Veal river.
This Is probably Gen. Hunters column,
which crossed at Parys and may be ex-
pected to make dash at the railroad in
the neighborhood of Potchefestroom,
whence there is direct communication
with Johannesburg.
Gen. Hamilton's column is at Bosch
bank, which is close to the river, about
eight miles northwest of Wolve Hoek,
Lord Roberts headquarters, and may be
expected to also cross the Vaal river and
create a division on the flank of any fed
eral force in the reighborhood of Vereen-
iging.
AS he has only about fifteen miles to
traverse, a speedy announcement may be
expected that the British commander-in-
chief himself has gained a foothold in the
Transvaal and that he will reach the fed
eral position south of Johannesburg in the
middle of the coming week.
The same secrecy which shrouded the
movements of the main army envelops
Lord Methuen's and Gen. Rundle's col
umns; so, probably, the next official dis
patches will show decisive movements of
these wings. Rundle ought to be close to
Bethlehem by now, and the experts expect
to hear of some decisive movement on The
Harrismith railroad, in which part IF
Gen. Buffers force will cooperate in the
direction of VanReenen's pass.
Should the Pretoria bulletin, announcing
the reoccupation of Hebron by the Fed
erals turn out to be true, It will be q
totally unexpected development as Gen.
Ian Hamilton occupied Hebron Tuesday.
and nothing has been heard from him
since.

Interesting Experiment Made on an
Armored vvarslifp.


Portsmouth. Eng, May 2e.--An inter-

out to-day off Selsea-Bill, near here, with
the view of settling various naval gun

Belle Isle, was selected for the purpose.
She is we'll constructed iron built, coast
defense vessel of 4,S70 tons displacement.
She was built at a cost of about $780,
900; has II inches Of armor on her sides,
8 inches over her bulkheads, inches over
her gun positions, and from Is to inches
OF deck plating.
The Belle Isle was moored completely
equipped with torpedo and splinter nets
ETC., as she would be in action, and the
British first-class battleship Majestic of
1890 tons displacement, and carrying four
12-inch guns, twelve 6-inch quick-firers,
eighteen 12-pounders, twelve 3-pounders.
and eight smaller rapid fire guns, steaming
past the Belle Isle at seven knots. and at
a distance just under mile, treated the
Belle Isle as an enemy, and opened fire
on her with all her guns.
The firing lasted nine minutes. In six
minutes the Belle Isle was in flames. many
explosions were heard and when the voi-
times of smoke and yellow lights of the
lyddite shells had cleared away II was
seen that she had sunk in a mud bank
ana was burning nercely
Tugs with working parties Immediately
boarded the Belle Isle and extinguished
the flames, after which number of OFF,
cials boarded the vessel. The experts ex-
animation showed that the shots of the
Majestic had riddled the Belle Isle. She
was a complete wreck inside, the shells
having pierced her lightly armored and
unprotected portions. But they did NOT
pierce the thick armor with which she
had been specially fitted for the expert
