A dispatch to the Times from Small

Roberts has halted here to complete the
railway and to allow time for the caval-
ry now returning from Thaba N'Chu to
take the place designed for them in the
original scheme of advance General
Hamilton last week was continuously in
touch with General Botha's rear guard.
The enemy manoeuvred field guns skill
fully to check General Hamilton's ad-
vance. On one occasion they masked
their position so well as to jeopardize
the British convoy, which was saved by
the timely arrival of the Highland
brigade with naval guns. The advance
on Winburg was so rapid that Hamil-
toms advance scouts We're overlapping
the town before Bothas transport was
clear, but owing to difficulties at the
drifts, the guns arrived too late to eff
feet the convoy's capture"
While the British captain Balfour
was negotiating with the Landrost for
the surrender of Winburg General
Botha himself, misunderstanding the
envoy's language, threatened to shoot
him, but the Landrost, rightly inter-
preting the words and perceiving that
the British were in position to bonn
bard the town, decided to surrender
General Botha then retired, The town
contained a large stock of ammunition
and grain.
1T is impossible to say whether the
Beers will dispute the passage of the
Zand river seriously; but it is known
that Botha has ten guns in front Of
Hamilton and that General Delarey has
six in front of the main advance

| New York, May 9.-The complaint
against John W. Gates for alleged vio-
lation of section Gil of the penal code
was dismissed this evening by Megis-
trate Zeller. 1t was claimed that Mr.
Gates had concurred in false state
ment regarding the American Steel &
Wire company, disturbing the stock
market.
Mr.. Lamb complainant in the case
said that he had not been able to reach
the chief witnesses that he wanted
Robert E. Armstrong, New York corre-
spondent of the Chicago Record, was
called to the stand. He repeated his
testimony of Monday last that Mr..
Gates during his testimony spoke of
the Steel and Wire business in general
and refused to talk of the affairs of the
American Steel and Wire company. The
complainant then offered in evidence the
interview with Mr. Gates printed in the
Chicago Record on April last. Magis-
trate Zeller would not admit the ar
ticle as evidence, because the witness
had not shown the article as published
to Mr. Gates.
President Lambert of the American
Steel and Wire company was called.
He was asked if the report of the
American Steel and Wire company
which was put in evidence to-day was
true. "It is true" replied Mr.. Lambert
Between the 31st of December, 1899
and the 18th of April, 1900, what change
was there in the financial condition of
your company" was asked, but the
magistrate excluded the question
Mr.. Lamb then took the stand. He
said he was not in any way interested
in the American Steel and Wire COM
pany. He said he had had an interview
with Washington Seligman about maxi
ing complaint against Mr.. Gates.
"Who was you client when you applied
for a second summons for Mr.. Gates?"
asked Delaney Nicoll, counsel for Mr..
Gates. Objection was made to the
question.
Mr.. Nicholl said he wished to prove
that there was conspiracy behind the
prosecution Il want to say that you
lie shouted the witness, who said he
was pledged not to divulge the name of
his client.
Henry Seligman, brother of Washing
ton Seligman, asked that his brothers
name be kept out of the hearing. Mr..
Nicoll agreed to this request. Mr. Nicoll
asked; us your complaint based upon
the report in the Herald Of April 17?''
mot on that alone" said Mr.. Lamb.
ut was based also upon other state
ments.' Mr.. Lamb was excused and
Hyames, for the plaintiff,
moved for a continuance of the hearing
until Monday. Magistrate Zeller agreed
to read the testimony at once and to
give a decision in the case as soon as
possible.
Tonight he gave out a decision in
which he said: THE alleged statement
was never placed in writing, never was
submitted to the defendant and could
therefore not be concurred in by him.
nor did it concern the defendants com |
oany In my opinion there is no evil |
1ence whatever to hold the defendant |
lnder section Gil of the penal code. The
is therefore dismissed and the |
defendant discharged"
