BRITISH ENTER wINBURG.
Lord Roberts and HIS Army Now IS Miles
North Of Bloemfontein and Moving
with Great Precision.

London, May S.-The capture Of
Winburg by the British is confirmed.
and the main advance to Pretoria con-
tinues with the machine-like preci-
sion and rapidity which has character
lied all Lord Roberts forward move
ments. By the occupation of Win
burg, Gen. Hamilton puts himself
nearly parallel with Lord Roberts and
only 90 miles westward, while he has
the additional advantage of being con-
nected with his chief by means of the
railroad that runs from Smaildel, or
Winburg road station as it is some
times called. The only feature of the
carefully-devised plan not disclosed
by the swift developments is that
part that Butler has ELECTED to take
in the operations. At present there
are no Indications of any movement
, on the. part of the Natal army.
Lord Roberts is now nine miles
north of the Vet and 63 miles north of
Bloemfontein. Evidently he is not let
ting grass grow under his feet,
though the Beers seem equally anX-
ious to retreat towards kroonstadt
and are SO doing.
British Occupy Fourteen Streams.
Warrenton, May S.-The Beers have
been driven out of Fourteen Streams
and the British are now encamped on
the north bank of the Vaal river.
