Lord Roberts Continues His
 March to KroonStadt.
IS HOW WITHIN TWENTY MILES
Hundreds of the British Troopers Sank Into Watery Grave While Att tempting to Cross the
 Vaal River

London, May 12-i a. m.-A British cole Imn 300O strong has arrived at VrybGrg, 1DG miles from Mafeking. It reached there Thursday. and although harassed by the Boers, is pushing swiftly forward. Fifty miles south of Vryburg, at Taungs, is Gen eral Hunters main body moving slowly and tending with considerable forces. The pick of his mounted men are the 5000 who are going with wheeled transport and at q rate that possibly bring them to Mafeking on Monday or Tuesday next.
 Lord Roberts narrative closes with Thursday evening, but he continued his march toward kroonstadt, twenty miles distant, and by this time he must know whether the Boers intend to fight there.
 Mir. Winston Churchill says there were only 20O0 Boers who opposed the British at Zard river. Another estimate is that 6oo0 naers with six guns made rear guard ac- tion. while many other thousands wlth conveys retired without firing shot
 President Steyn and council of the leaders of several thousand Free Staters in the Lady Brand and Ficksburg distrlct determined to submit to the men the ques- tier. of continuing the war or not at great open-air meeting. The fighting men decided to fight on. Steyn, who appears to be Tn active command, began to advance toward the British and came in contact on Thurs d;y with Calnpbels brigade and Brabants s Horse twenty miles northeast of Thaba Gnu. A smart engagement ensued wlth no positive success either side except that the Boer advance was stopped. Gen eral Bundle has placed 10000 infantry along a twenty mile front in such way as to oar Boer advance toward Lord Roberts com munications.

ender, but before the battle had begun he won more support by his display of speed and skill. Jeffries won with his strength both by the strength that lies in muscle and strength which is the essence of Vi- taity. He made the pace for most of the distance, and at the end was still strong and effective.
 At first glance the battle may seem to de- tract trifle from his reputation, as It showed that fast man could reach him and get away without a return. If that fighter of the future happens to be strong and rugged in addition to fastness, he VIII take the honors of the man who enters the ring exultant in victory. It is said that there was never more descriptive Dattle to take points on the two styles.
 There was order in the assembling and handling of the men. The small army of police present was taskless, and the con- testants themselves never quarreled throughout the evening. The betting on the outcome of the battle was varied as the battle progressed. In the small sums placed Jeffries was clear favorite at odds of to 1. These odds veered at different times and different places during the euen- ing, but to was probably the higher rate aad to the lowest offered. A favorite bet was that Corbett would last ten rounds, and the men who had a true-line on the former champions condition reaped wsll for their knowledge.
 An Orderly Assemblage
 Despite the time intervening the a,Tival of the men and their entrance into ts.a ring the crowd was scarcely restless. It was made up of representative elements of the business professional, theatrical and sport ing world, and seemed to be entirely dig nod With the battle itself came the quickening pulse and the hoarse yells of enthusiasm for a favorite hope as to money wagered
 As the men sprang forward the spectators were stilled to silence that was broken only by the rattle and chatter of the telegraph instruments.
 In the preliminary sport Corbett showed a wonderous advantage. He was panther like on his feet and darted in and out with confusing speed. They both fought care fully, for while Corbett had the speed and cleverness, he found Jeffries hard to get to- Jeffres fought in his crouching atti- tude, which proved so hard to solve by Fitzsimmons. When ,Corbett had saved the ten round money there was strong change in the sentiment toward him, and the men who had their money on Jeffries to win began to be somewhat dubious. Jeffries was grim and resolute, however, and kept at his hammer and tongs style. To the man who loves strength and tho

play of the giant and athlete it made splendid picture. Here was youth and strength with a fair measure of skill pit ted against the master of the sport.
 At the twentieth round it looked as if Corbett would stay the limit, and popular judgment awarded him victory. He had, up to that time, avoided any serious pun ishment.
 The end came with the suddenness of a shock. The men had had two fierce rallies, followed each time by long range sparring and were in together again. They were both fighting fast and hard. Suddenly there was a report of a sharp blow and Corbett dropped. It needed no count to tell that Corbetts hopes for the championship again were in vain. The excited spectators sprang to their feet and for a moment there were roars and calls. The confusion was but momentary, however, and in silence that was most remarkable the fallen fighter was carried to his corner.

SEVERE FIGHTING
The Boers Admit British Occup ltion of
 Taungs

London May 12.-The LourenZo Marques correspondent of the Daily Mail, in dis patch. dated Friday, May Il, says:
 '.The Boer papers report severe fighting on the western border. The facts are very much confused probably by design, but there is enough to show that the Boers admit a British occupation of Taungs"
 A special dispatch from Chrisuana, Transvaal, says:
 'Six hundred British cavalry crossed the vaal Friday at Kalmborg and went to Taungs followed by commandos. A second attachment of the British crossed at the same place Saturday. The Griquilanders, under General Aswogon, after being rein forced, repused the British and forced them back in the direction of Taungs
 General Aswogon was killed. The other Boer casualties were seven wounded. The British loss was heavy. Everything was brought away from the laagers except a few tents left to attract the enemy's shells. Taungs Is occupied by about 5000 British.''
 special telegram from Pretoria, dated Monday, in the same paper, records the British seizure on Fourteen Streams Sum day afternoon. It says the British force at Wirtrand was overwhelming Subsequent ly the enemy moved their line toward our positions, bombarding them with such ef- feet that the burghers were compelled to retreat, which they did in regular order. Today a forward movement of the British was checked by our forces who drove them back in two places.
 A telegram from Pretoria, dated Tues day in the Standard and Digger's News, says:
 "The British in their passage along the Stella Land border toward Mafeking were engaged by Command Bissle near the Taungs, with great success. Hundreds of British troopers met a watery grave while attempting to cross the Vaal.

PORTO RICo's GOVERNOR.
Discussion at the War Department
Causes Much Interest

Discussion at the War Department
Causes Much Interest.
The question as 10 who will be the new
Civil Governor Of Porto Rico is being
much discussed by War Department Off
Gals. Il was said today by a high army
officer that the President desired 20 retain
General Davis in that ONCE. Whether or
not this can be done under the provisions
Of the Porto Rican bill is the problem.
The Porto Bican bill does not say that the
Civil Governor shall De a civilian nor does
it prohibit the appointment Of an army
cficer.
The salary OF the Civil Governor is to
be $1,000 per annum General Davis
present salary is $500 with allowances.
and 10 is said that if it is agreed 10 ap-
point him Civil Governor he viii have 10
retain his military rank and be content
with the salary Of that office
II is said Ct the War department that
there is no law which viii prevent Cen
eTal Davis from being confirmed by the
Senate as Civil Governor and that the
President VIII eudeavOr 20 find grounds for
his appointment. General Davis has given
complete satisfaction 10 the War Depart
ment and IT. is not considered advisable
to make a sudden change i'm officials.
General Davis having thoroughly famjl-
iarized himself with the conditions in the
island
