BRITISH INVEST
B0ER CAPITAL
The Town, Ii is Said, Will Surrender
Upon a Formal Demand Being
Made-No Official News

LONDON, June $50 a. MOI Official
intelligence regarding what is transpiring
outside Pretoria there is little or moth
ing to-day. Lord Roberts is silent.
Nevertheless, by piecing together items
from various correspondents, it would
seem that Lord Roberts force is all en-
ployed north of Johannesburg, except
one brigade which is at Johannesburg,
and that six columns are conVerging on
Pretoria.
An undated news agency message from
Pretoria via Lorenzo Marques, June 4th,
says:
pretoria is now invested by the
British, no resistance will be offered. The
city will be surrendered by the burgo-
master as soon as formal demand is
made.
Messengers of newspaper correspondents
continue TO pass 10 ana fro on the railway
The latest to arrive at Lorenzo Marques
says the military leaders are quite recov-
cred from the panic and had to determine
10 defend the town.
Another dispatch brought to Lorenzo
Marques by messenger and dated at Pre-
toria, Friday at midnight, says The
war council assumes the powers of The
government. It's members declare that the
capital may still be successfully defended.
President Kruger is somewhere to the
eastward but is in constant w.re com-
munication with the leaders here There
is, however, q deep feeling Of anger against
him on account OF what is now called his
unnecessary flight.
The Boer operations TO break Lord Ro-
berts' communications have been COM
pletely baffied, and the Boer columns are
in danger of being surrounded by the
British forces at Ficksburg, Senehal, He'll
bron and Lindley.
