of the town must be unconditional
asked for a reply by daybreak, as l
had ordered the troops to march on
the town as soon as it was li2ht.
SIN his reply, Botha told me he had
decided not to defend Pretoria and he
trusted women, children and property

MASON CITY, June s.-All of the men
working on the construction gangs of
the Iowa & Minnesota division of the
Northwestern, about 300 in number,
have gone out on strike for higher
wages. The men had been getting
from $50 to Sl.75, but had for some
time been dissatisfied and by a pre-
arrangement of forces they walked
out in a body and refused to resume
work until the raise of 25 cents a day
which they ask for is granted. The
work on the new yards and depots was
progressing rapidly and the track was
about to enter the city from the south.
How long this will block work lis I'M
certain, but it will have the effect Of a
serious set back unless the IN en- can be
