MADE NO RESISTANCE.

Officers Allow a Colored Prisoner to Be
Lynched at Pueblo, Colo.
1 PUEBLO, Colo, May 24.-Five min
utes after Calvin Kimblern, the COL
ored murderer, reached Pueblo he was
being dragged through the streets by as
many men as could lay hands on the
rope around his neck, followed by a
mob of at least 5000 people. Not the
slightest attempt to protect the prisoner
was made by the half dozen officers
having him in charge. In fact they
had drawn the charges from their re.
volvers, lest by any chance blood should
be shed in feint at resisting the mob.
Kimblern made but the slightest at
tempt at resistance. Heavy steel man.
acles bound his wrists and he was
dragged face downward over the rail-
road tracks, and was undoubtedly dead
before he was hanged to a telegraph
pole two blocks from the depot. Twice
the rope broke after the body had been
hauled up, but the third attempt at
hanging was successful.

THE BRITISH ADVANCE,
Main Army Now Twenty Miles North Of
KrOOn9f0d.

Main Army Now Twenty Miles North Of
Kroonstad.
LONDON, May 24.-Once more Lord
Roberts is advancing in force. His wait
at Kroonstad is over and already the
main British army is about 20 miles
north Of it's former resting place. judy
ing from the dispatches of Lord Roberts
from Honingsprrit Station, while
fanking him on either side of the rail-
road General French's cavalry and
General Ian Hamilton mounted in
fantry, are both slightly III advance Of
Lord Roberts and threatening to en-
velop the Boer position, which extends
for 20 miles due north.
General French probably crossed the
Rhenoster river near the junction with
Honingspruit, which runs thence to
Honingspruit Station. The main Brit
lsh army will probably advance along
the railroad while General French con-
verges from the west and General Ham
llton from the east. Against this over
whelming force the Beers will probably
follow their usual tactics of retiring to
positions which doubtless have been
prepared in advance for their occupa-
ton.
General French and General Hamil-
ton are separated from each other by
about 40 miles, while Lord Roberts is
within IL miles of General French and
30 miles Of General Hamilton

NOT MIXING IN POLITICS,

Boer ENJOYS Wish to Plead With the
Whole American People.
WASHINGTON, May 24-Mr. Fischer,
one of the Boer ENJOYS, spoke freely
with representative of the Associated
Press as to their general plans for the
future. He said that it was their pur-
pose to visit 10 or ~ principal cities of
the United States and explain to the
people whatever they might wish to
know Of the Boer cause. They were,
he said, particularly anxious to avoid
even the semblance of taking any part
in American politics. They came to
plead with the whole American people
for sympathy and support.
The cities which they will visit have
not yet been determined upon. 1t is
probable, however, that they will even
tually reach San Francisco, stopping
en- route at Chicago, Milwaukee, St.
Louis and Cincinnati. 1852
