B0ERS GET OUT OF THE WAY.
ARE RETIRING EVERYWHERE BE-
FORE THE BRITISH.

Maintaining Their Stand Only on the
Natal Frontier and Mt Mafeking.
Occupation of WinburE by the
British Is Confirm ed-Th ousands of
British ON the Free State Frontier.
Free Staters Have Collected Many
Cattle Near Ladybrand.
London, May s, 4:20 a. m.-The Beers are
everywhere retiring before the British. ex-
cept on the Natal frontier and at Mafek-
in, to the inner circles of their defenses.
They appear determined not to fight until
the Kroonstad hills are reached.
Lord Roberts is expected to do another
forty or fifty miles and then to wait for
a time in order to bring up supplies and to
repair the railway. There are one or two
hints in the dispatches from the front that
he may rest for few days at Smaldeel.
Gen. French's 10000 cavalry have not
been mentioned in the official or unofficial
dispatches for four days. 1t is by no
means likely that he is idle, and the con-
lecture is that he is either detouring to-
ward Kroonstad or raiding the L4adybrand
district
Fifteen thousand British are now operat-
ing on the western frontier of the Free
State. AS the deadlock at Warrenton
has been broken, and che Beers are re-
treating, there is nothing formidable, ex-
cept distance, between Warrenton and
Mafeking. The most hopeful advices from
Mafeking ON April %, were that the gar
rison would be barely able to hold out for
a month. AT that time the fever was
spreading.
Free Staters Collect Cattle. -
According to advices from Maseru, Ba-
sutoland, several thousand Free Staters
are north of Ladybrand, where they have
collected great herds. The district is
rich in food for men and horses, and the
Beers seem resolved not to move north
ward but to be preparing to resist where
they are. If they are let alone they will
menace the line of communications after
the main British army has passed into
the Transvaal
Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener per-
sonally directed the artillery in the Vet
river engagement.
Queen Victoria will send a signed pho
tograph to Col. Kekewitch, the hero of
Kimberley.
Six thousand four hundred and fifty
eight troops are now at sea, on the way
10 South Africa. No others are under
orders to go, except as recruits to fill
up the losses of regiments at the 'front.'

BRITISH NOW HOLD wINBuRG.
Main Advance to Pretoria Continues
With Much Precision,

London, May 7.-The capture of Win
burg by the British is confirmed and the
main advance to Pretoria continues with
the machine-like precision and rapidity
which has characterized all Lord Roberts
forward movements.
BY the occupation of Winburg, Gen. Ian
Hamilton puts himself nearly parallel with
Lord Roberts and only twenty-nine miles
eastward, while he has the additional ad-
vantage of being connected with his chief
by means of the railroad that runs from
Smaldeel or Winburg road station, as ii
is sometimes called, to Winburg.
The only feature of the carefully de-
vised plan of the general advatee not dis
closed by the swift Developments is that
part Gen. Butler has elected to take in the
operations. At present there are no indi-
cations of any movement on the part of
the Natal army. Doubtless q few days or
less will bring out the British line of ac-
ton before the Biggarsberg.
Lord Roberts is now nine miles north of
the Vet and sixty-three miles north of
Bloemtontein. The Beers are retreating
towards Kroonstad.
Gen. Hunter is presumed to be pushing
steadily forward in the direction of Ma
feking, aided by the aggressiveness of
Barton's and Paget's b1igades.
The critics of the afternoon newspapers
view the situation with the greatest salts
faction.
A special dispatch from Smaldeel OVin-
burg road station, dated 9:45 p M, Sun
day, May g. gives details of the occupa-
ton of Winburg by the British. 1t says:
News has just come here that Gen.
Hamilton is giving the Beers no rest,
and that they are falling back hurriedly.
He entered Winburg to-day after brisk
fight in which the Beers fell back so
quickly that one of their guns, in addi-
tion of a Maxim, was abandoned"
The same dispa atch, describing the cross
ing of the Vet river. says:
1.-THE Boer forces entrenched on the on
posite bank prepared 10 contest the cross
ing. Our guns were brought into play
and a terrific sshell fire was directed on
ehe Boer lines. At the same time the
Queenslanders, under a heavy fire, dash
ed across the river, and advancing in the
open, completely turned the Boer right
1t was dusk, but nothing could stop the
gallant Australians. They pushed on
again, seized a commanding kopje, and,
by brilliant movements and continuous
rifle fire, drove off the enemy in the dark
ness. The first gleam of dawn this morn
ing found the enemy in full fight, and
our men after them, and by o'clock
this morning we entered this important
strategic point"
A dispatch from Boshof, dated Friday.
May 4, says Gen. Methuen made a recon-
naissance from there the day previously
to the neighborhood Of Sjartkoppiesfon-
ten, locating the Boer laager. After an
unimportant exchange Of fire the Beers
removed their laager. A fairly strong
force of Beers was seen moving north
ward. Gen. Methuen then returned 10

INCENDIARIsM SUSPECTED.
Fire Destroyed Sheds and Docks of
Standard OIL Co.


New York. May. Fire tonight de-
stroyed large part of the docks and
sheds Of the New Jersey Storage Com
pany, connected with the Standard Oil
Company's Constable Hooks Works,
causing a property loss of $500, 900.
There is some suspicion THAI the fire
was started by strikers who for the past
week have been troublesome at the oil
works and at the Oxford Copper Works,
which adjoin.
The fire started in one of the sheds on
pier, and, owing to the oil-soaked con-
dition of the She'd the dock and every
thing else in the neighborhood, the flames
spread rapidly
The oil tank ship Adeiphia was lying
alongside one of the piers, and before she
could be hauled out, took fire. Tugs tried
10 get her off and beach her on the Staten
Island shore, but the hawsers caught fire
and she went adrift in the Kills.
Three old barges, which lay alongside
the docks, took fire and were destroyed.
Fire tugs from Brooklyn, N. Y, Staten
Island and Jersey City responded to calls
for assistance. The firemen on shore
were repeatedly driven away from the
fire by the intense heat, and the tugs
had az short intervals to turn their own
hose upon themselves to keep their sides
and deckhouses from bursting nto'dames.
The fire in the docks consumed the sheds
upon the piers and then burned the pill
ings down 10 the waters edge.

BRICK BUILDING COLLAPSED.
Several People Were BADLY Injured
at Kansas City.

Kansas City, May IA three-story
brick building at 1902 Grand avenue, in the
business center, occupied on the ground
floor by Jacob Goodman as a secondhand
store, and above by Mrs. Mary Sohn as
rooming house, collapsed this afternoon,
burying seven persons in the ruins. 1t is
believed none of the injured will die. John
w. Moore, aged 70 years, former Mayor of
Kansas City, was the most seriously hurt.
The building, which was an ancient
structure, had been condemned several
months ago, and had recently been weak
ened by workmen eXcavating for a new
building on the adjoining lot. The build
ing collapsed almost without warning, the
walls bulging out and the roof crashing
in before any of the inmates could make
a move to escape. The wreck was COM
plete. The ruins were soon covered with a
swarm of firemen digging for the buried
ones.
John w. Moore former Mayor of Kan
sas City and member of the Board of
Trade. was taken out of the wreck un-
conscious. He had evidently been in a
room on the second floor, and when To-
Gated was buried ten feet under brick,
mortar and broken furniture. It was
twenty minutes before the fremen could
chop their way to him. He was removed
limp and unconscious and hurried 10 the
hospital, where his injuries were found
to be serious though not necessarily
fatal.
Anna Goodman was found buried ten
feet beneath the debris and rescued by
her father, who had escaped with slight
injuries Others were found below the
debris severely bruised

WANT NEELEY ExTRADITED.
His Shortage for -Four Months In
Havana Is, $4,000.

Havana, May 7.-The United States
transport ingalls, left here last night, hav-
ing on board Col Burton. the inspector
general, who is going TO Fortress Monroe,
with orders to proceed direct to Washing
ton.
This Is due to discoveries made In con-
nectlon with his inspection of the postal
affairs at Havana which resulted In the
arrest at Rochester, N. ", on Saturday
Of Char es r. Neeley. former chief OF the
finance division Of the postoffice DEPART
ment in Cuba, on the charge of embezzling
SS5,tOO from the government. Neeley's ar
rest may result in additional arrests here
very soon.
The papers asking for Neeley's extradi-
tion left for the United States this af-
ternoCn. IL is understood that the Fidelity
Deposit Company Of Maryland is on his
bond for $4,000. The announcement of the
arrest gave the first public intimation that
alleged frauGs had been discovered in the
postal department. Col Burton has been
investigating for ten days and he found
matters in such a serious condition that
he decided to make an immediate person.
al report on the subject to the Washing
ton authorities.
1t Is asserted on reliable authority that
since July of last year the government has
been defrauded monthly OF more than $l2,-
900 on stamped paper alone. The culprit
or culprits are believed to have received
$2S 900, and to have accounted for only
$16,0 900. During the last four months It
is said that Neeleys shortage In the ag-
gregate has not fallen below $36.00O and
that. prior to the beginning of this year
the average was much higher.
For long time Neeley lived extrava-
gantly. Auditors Reeves and Reynolds
have been temporarily suspended. Maj.
Rathbone, director of posts, set special
agents at work investigating the matter,
when first Il was called to his attention
some weeks ago. These agents reported
April 23 that the accounts were correct.

favorable Conditions.


smaldeeI Sunday. May 6.-The move

Gen. Hunter on the west to Gen. Rumble
on the east.
Lord Roberts admirable strategy re-
suited in placing everywhere five British

inextricable confusion OF divisions and

the Beers were compelled to meet Lord
Roberts under unfavorable conditions.
What is more important is that the
British are now able to wait. Their front
knowledge that their Ranking columns
win advance and outfiank the Beers. Yes
terday the Beers held a really strong po-
sition, from which, earlier in the cam
patgn, they could only have been forced
by hard fighting. Gen. Hamiton's ar
rival at Winburg, although not directly
outflanking the Beers, made their position
extremely uncomfortable. Gen. Huttons
movement on the left was even more sue
cessful than at first imagined. Forty
Beers were killed.
The march to-day was short. but Gen.
