NOT CRUSHED YETI
The Beers Give London a
Disagreeable Surprise.
Cutting of Lord Roberts Telegraph Communica-
ton Near RoodevaI Regarded as Ser

London. June 9.-London is some
what Disguised at 1.-The disagreeable
activity" manifested by the Beers in
the Orange River Colony in cutting
Lord Roberts telegraph communica-
ton at Roodeyal north of Kroonstad
AS vet there is no indication whence
came the strong body of 1000 Beers
that had arrived at Roodeval, unless
it is the forces mentioned in a recent
Boer dispatch as having started from
Standterton with this very object in
view. Apparently the authorities on
the spot regard the situation at least
as temporarily serious, as they are
not only reinforcing the garrison at
Kroonstad but are sending out troops
from the lines of communication in
Cape Colony.
Roodeval is a fairly strong position,
thirty-five miles north of kroonstad,
capable of giving General Kel1y-kenny
trouble should the FederalS elect TO
dispute its possessions as General KEEL
lv-Kennv cannot be overburdened with
cavalry. with which to threaten the
burgher line of retreat The news
somewhat discounts the fattering de-
ductiois the British have been extract
ing from Lord Roberts silence, as it
indicates that the meance of the Beers
to carry on prolonged guerilla warfare
is no empty threat. and that President
Steyn is still capable of creating SCI
rious, if only temporary trouble.
4 parliamentary return issued this
morning shows that So members of
the House of Lords and 2S members
of the House of Commons are serving
with the British troops in South AZ
RIGA.
Advices from Cape Town say the
opinion prevails there that the Boer
supplies of ammunition and food Will
not suffice TO enable them to pro-
long the struggle in the Lydenburg
district for more than eight weeks
Cape Town also anticipates that the
Beers will be seriously harrassed by
The Kaffirs.

which at the beginning of the week was
merely small cloud on the international
horizon, now overshadows every other
topic. England according to most au
thorities-save those who control her
foreign policy, is face to face with
crisis in Far Eastern affairs which, though
it may not result in any Immediate par
tition of China, must determine the part
that England shall play when the parti-
ton eventually occurs. That such an
emergency should have arisen at mo-
ment when England is least able to util-
iZe it, when almost all her land forces
are 5000 miles from home, and when
there is permanent necessity for keep
ing an extra strong fleet in European
waters, is deplored by all shades of
statesmen and politicians Lord Sails
bury stands almost alone amidst his own
party in believing that the results of the
Boxer outbreak will be neither serious nor
permanent. The attitude he adopts to-
ward the unanimous agitation for more
strenuous action is voiced by an intimate
friend who said to representative of the
Associated Press:
Lord Salisbury believes we should be
thankful for small merces. The CO.
operation of the diplomats and naval au-
thorities on the spot seems perfect and
unusually harmonious. So long as that
satisfactory state of affairs continues he
will be eminently satisfied and will take no
other steps unless one or several of the
nowcrs ask Great Britain's assent to a
scheme which appears feasible, or, unless
Russian aggression becomes much more
patent than it is today. When these con-
tingencies occur, or the representatives
of the various nations at Pekin fail to
agree, then will Lord Salisbury assume
the initiative. At present he is agreea-
bly, surprised at the smooth progress of
the negotiations at the seat of the dis
turbances and implicitly trusts in Sir
Claude Macdonald, the British Minister
to China"
1t may be added that Great Britain S
Premier is not particularly optimistic re-
garding the length of time the various
ministers and admirals in the Far East
will cooperate SO admirably.
In the meanwhile the members of every
embassy in London and every club, to say
rothing of the stock market, are discuss
ing eagerly the prospects Of war between
two of the powers arising from the Pekin
troubles.
Admiral Freemantle's reported state
ment that war between these countries is
inevitable, creates no surprise, though
such plain speaking is severely discount
enanced officially.
