THE WAR IN AFRICA.

Lord Roberts main army crossed the
Vaal river yesterday and is at last on
the soil OF tae South African Republic.
A dispatch states that the only fight
which marked the crossing was skir-
misa, 10 which four British aud twelve
foreigners serving with the Beers were
wounded.
The Beers, 1t is stated, have retreated
TO Klipriversberg, 80 miles north Of the
Vaal and q miles south OF Johannes
berg. They are expected to make a
stand there, as the position is one oil
great strength.
The place where Roberts crossed the
Vaal is Viljoen's drift on the northern
side OF which is the town Of VereeniginR.
The railroad also crosses there. Other
bodies of the British troops made flank
move and crossed respectively at Parys,
80 miles west OF Vereeuiging, at Lindi-
que's drift, Is miles west, and at Wor-
derfontein drift, near Parys. These
hanking moves by large forces OF troops
rendered resistance by the Beers use
less.
While the main Beor army has been
] compelled to retreat before the i'm
I mensely superior numbers of Lord Rot
erts, parties OF the burghers are active
10 number of directions. A dispatch
| from Newcastle, northern Natal, say
! The Beers are Every active" and havt
been reinforced. Their front extends
from Laing's mex to New R'public
The force which retired from Msfekine
when the relief column arrived has raj
lied well within the British border. Ii
is reported that burghers have reoccu
pied the town OF Kurumsn, Bechuans
land. They have also occupied He'll
bron, 80 miles east OF Kroonstad, 10 the
Free State, where they can threaten
Lord Roberts line of communications
A dispatch from Grootveil, dated
Nav 81, says that Lord Roberts north
ern advance force has sighted the Trans
yasl hills, aud that General French ha'
secured an excellent fsnking position
on the northwest. The same dispatch

The Situation in south Africa

London, May 28.-The war has
reached its last stage. the entire
British army is 10 the Transvaal and
every one believes the end will COM
quickly. Few believe that the Beers
will make any serious resistance now,
even though the country ia well adapt
ed to their manner of fighting. Those
who claim to be acquainted with the
political situation in the Transvaal
claim that there will be no siege OF
Pretoria. They believe the irreconcil'
able element among the Beers sees the
fu,ility of resistance against the over
whelming British force and are prepar
ing to trek north or escape to Lorenzo
Marquee before they are surrounded
The others, they say, will surrender
without resistance ia the hope OF saw
ing their property and being allowed
to resume their old life unchanged by
British domination,
A Capetown dispatch says that oW
ing to the near approach Of the British
to the Witwatersrapd and the gold dis
trict, several prominent outlanders
have jointed the Boer headquarters
staff as guides and advisers. The die
patch adds that there is an untraceable
rumor there that General French has
occupied Johannesburg.

and are returning in strong force 10

mapdos are joining Boths. The Beers

THE Baptist Missionary Society, that

favor of expansion, assigning as the rea'
son therefor the statement that trade
and humanitarianism follow the flag.
But that trade does not follow the flag
is proved by the experience OF Cube,
Porto Rico and the Philippines, and to
know that humaDitarianism does not, il
is only necessary to read the daily news

didate for the next Presidency, and
also, that they don't want, and will not
