War Practically At An
End.

Practically No Fighting
at Kroonstad.
Rose Colored Statements Not
Given Entire Credence.

London, May IA, 4 q. m.-"The war Is
practically ovsr,". says the Daily Chron-
icle's Kroonstad correspondent. and In
less definite terms, this Is this view to be
gathered from all the correspondents.
They picture the Beers as utterly demor-
allied and disheartsned ty Lord
Roberts unexpectedly rapid advance and
by his facils turning Of the carefully
prepared positions OF the Beers.
There was practically no. fighting and
there are no further details to give re-
specting the occupation Of kroonstad.
The correspondent CT tbs Daily Telegraph
Gays;
"Ihe Union Jack was hoisted In the
market place by Mrs. Lookheaf, the
American wife OF SootohmAn. Most Of
the horses Of the Boers are In wretched
condition but President Kruger declares
he will continue the war;"
1t appears that the Beers at kroonstad
had been reinforced by three thousand
men from Natal last Frttey An5 that al
gether ten thoussnd VIM sws1y guns
trekked from Kroopstad on The approach
of Lord Roberts.
Yhe Beers made an ineifectual stand ut
Bos sshrand and had elaborate entrenoh-
ments In front OF Kroonstsd, which
offered great facilities for rear guard
action. Their only anxiety, however, ap-
pears to have been to ges away safely
with all their guns aud conveys, which b
again they have successfully accom-
piishsd.
The few stores they wsrs unable to
carry away they burned.
President Steyn IL represented as hav.
ing been frantic with rage and as having
kicked and cuffed the burghers after
vainly iinplosing them to continue the
tight. Lord Roberts after ruarch which
10 reg Ardsd as worthy Of being ranked
with his faiuous march to Ksndahar, has
thus covered another stage OF mis- cam
psign, q stage which, although success

Officials Think Natives Haven't
Necessary Courage.
Buencamino In Disfavor
With Natives.
His Peace Proposals Not Likely
To Have Much Weight.

Manila, May l3.-Ths latest rumor OF
AN outbreak In Manila among the natives.
which was In circulation last week, was
seriously discussed by some Of the local
papers and attracted more general atten-
tion than has usually bsen the case with
sort Of thing. As matter OF fact many
Filipinos did leave their American en-
pioyers, with the apparent intention Of
joining some such movement. Their
action taken In connection wish the
arrest OF several natives for carrying CON-
oealed weapons and ths Dispersion Of sss-
eral suspicious gatherings gave color 60
the reports.
The officials have been active In the
matter, but are not inclined to think an
uprising will be attempted. They believe
the Bilipinos lacking In the necessary
coursgs, especially In view Of TIE fact
that the natives feared TO attempt the
| demonstration at the time Of General
Lawton's funeral, although they had
made careful preparations ani many In
surRents had come to Manila for this pur-
pose.
A paper found among the captured
effects Of General Pantaleon Garcia as
serts that the United States congress has
done nothing for the Tilipinos and that,
therefore, all Filipinos who are working
for Americans uust ieavs their employers
immediately or suffer the penalty OF
treason.
One report Is that the Filipino junta Is
erdeavoring to incits an outbreak In
order to show the civil commission thai
the insurrsctlon is still alive.
| 1t does not seem probable that the peacs
proposals which Senior Buenoamino, Q,
one time a member of so-called Filipino
government has drawn up for submis'
sion TO Aguinaldo and the other insur.
gent leaders, will have nucn weight
with the Filipinos. Buencamino's repu-
tation, gained In former wars, In that o
a man who hurriss to get on the winning
aide. He was In dis-favor with the ELL
lpinos even before the collapse Of theiz
g overnment,l owing to Q Widespread sus.
piclon Of disloyaity to his colleagues.

A SURE SIGN.

There are coed many people who
ind that BY drawing the syelids al
most shut the vision is improved,
when they want to see objects sharply
they are sure to partially close the
lids. There was never a case of this
kind which could not be benefited
with gIaAsss, In nearly every oass
the "squinting" can be entirely over
come.
1t is Aiwas due to the eyes being
ont OF focus. Drawing the lids shuts
of the blurred light and makes Vis-
ion clearer.
A correctly fitted lens will throw
all the rays to a perfect focus, and
make objects clear and distinct. With
the glasses on the wider the lids are
opened, the better the wearer gees.
They place the eyes in normal con-
dition and remove all strain and
effort.
Correctly adjusted lenses is my
speciality.
