The Effect Of Lord
Roberts Proclamation.
General Belief That the War La Rap
idly Nearing q cioss-Buiier
crovdi1g Botha-

LONDON. Sept 5.-Lord Roberts al
uexatiou Of the Trznsvaal Is generally
REGARDED As proof that in the opinion OF
the military authorities both at hone
and in South Africa the var Is pracf1-
caIIy over. The Stock Exchange takes
this view and most kafdr shares show
. slight rise on the prospect OF mining
operations. Nevertheless there has
been a good deal Of miscellaneous
nghring in various parts OF the An
nexed republics.
The War Office received a dispatch
from Lord Roberts giving an account
OF a slight engagement north OF Pre-
toria. in which the Beers were driven
OF, losing hundred rifles and a large
supply OF ammunition and q Few pris-
ouers. About the same time party
of Beers made an unsuccessful attack
on the johannesburg water works
More serious fighting took place on
Monday in the mountain passes Near
Lydenberg, where General Butler was
fighting Botha all day. The burghers
were about 1000 strong, with several
guns. and they seem to have held the
British in check, since the position Was
was not carried by nightfall and col
umn was sent by General Roberts to
assist Butler. 1t is thought, however,
that Botha is merely fighting to cover
the removal of his transport and sup
plies from Gutenberg and that ne VIII
retire to the mountains farther north,
where the next stand will be made.
The effect of the proclamation will
cause Transvaai burghers now in arms
10 be treated as rebels and forfeit bel
ligerent rights 1t is hoped by this
means the hopelessness of further re-
sistance will be speedily brought home
to the Beers. But the experience OF
the Orange River colony is not alto
getlier encouraging. After six months
annexation the burghers are still in
arms in the Eastern Free State and in
sufficient force to put British garri-
son in danger of surrendering. Tele-
grams from the Basutoland frontier
show that the Boer commands have
surrounded Ladybrand and reduced the
defenders to such straits that they have
burned all their stores in the market
place to prevent their falling into the
enemy,s hands. General Hunter is has
tening to the relief of the garrison
and it Is hoped that he may be in time
to save it.
De Wet is said to be north of Middle
burg, watching for an opportunity to
intercept British COMMUNICATIONS.
MIR. Chamberlain, who has been at
his country house near Birmingham
for the last few weeks. came to LON
don yesterday and was busily engaged
with officials of the Colonial Office.
His visit is understood to be in con-
nection with the South African Situa-
ton and the approaching conclusion Of
the war.
Much activity is also exhibited 1T
the headquarters of the party organiza-
ton, where it is confidently expected
that general election will begin about
six weeks from the present time.

Seize of Laaybrand Raised.


Cape Town, Sept. 5.-The siege OF
Ladybrand has been raised after sew
eral desperate attempts to capture the
town and its little garrison of $50 Brit
ish troops. The Beers who attacked
Ladybrand are estimated to have num-
bered over 1000 men.
The British were summoned to sur
render September 2 Sunday, but re-
fused, and from that time on were sub
jected to continual cannon and rifle
fire.
The burghers twice tried to rush the
British position. Probably the approach
of a relief force saved the little gar
rison

WANTS THE POLE REMOVED.
The Commissioners Reply TO the Pro-
Prietor of the Ebbitt House.

Complaint has been lodged with the Dis
trict Commissioners by the proprietor Of
the Ebbitt House concerning an iron pole
in front Of the hotel, which, ii is alleged.
hinders free passage along the sidewalk
and is, besides. 80 unsightly object.
The pole in question is the property of
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
and is used TO anchor a guywire and cannot
be removed, the manager OF the company
thinks, without supplying something in its
stead.
in writing TO the attorney representing
the hotel the Commissioners state that the
maintenance of the pole is legally author
lied, Ii having been transferred TO the West
ern Union Company by the United States
Electric Lighting Company. said transfer
having bean permitted by the Commits
sioners.
The Commissioners also intimate that the
trouble might be obviated by fastening the
guywire to the top Of the hotel instead OF
to a pole set in the sidewalk.
