man entered the corridor of the Coates
hotel, enc of the leading hostelries here,
at 1880 O'Clock tonight, terrorized all
present, and forced open the strong box
OF the cigar stand ana escaped. The box
contained diamonds valued at 81 200. $50
in gold currency and silver, and checks
TO the amount OF 800 The robber held
the night clerk and another employee of
the hotel off at the point Of a revolver
and escaped on a horse that he had tied
to the cUrbing.
At the time Of the hold-up, a Times re-
porter, James Sullivan, and Colonel Fred
were seated on one END of the lobby, Night
Clerk William Gossett stood behind the
registering desk; Night Waterman Charles
L. Mokes was pacing to and fro in the
center of the floor, and J. w. Garvey, a
guest, and Key Clerk Kelleher were near
by. Sherman Clark, clerk of the stand,
short distance away, was waiting on a
customer, who was probably the robbers
confederate.
Kelleher was the first to notice the rob-
Der as he entered the lobby
Damn you" exclaimed the visitor, as
Kelleher faced hun, act as if you were
going to do something"
The robber as he spoke thrust the mug
zle of a revolver into Kelleher's face,
then stepped behind the counter, picked
up the strong box and turned to go.
Clerk Clark saw him at this moment.
Hold on he cried, what do you
want?"

commanded the man behind the gum"
as he pointed his weapon at Clark's head.
If you do, I'll get you"
He backed out of the door with his face
turned to the lobby, and with revolver
leveled disappeared with his confederate
Night Clerk GOssett says that the rob-
ber's name is Fishback, and that he
knows him well.
According to Gossett the man had lived
at the hotel for week. He had on one
occasion taken the clerk out for a drive
and had generally been considered a
good fellow"

love of money"
Special prayers of thanksgiving were
offered yesterday in the churches Of
the United Kingdom. The lord bishop
of London. DR.. Mandell Creighton, who
preached before the queen at Windsor,
alluded to the relief Of Mafeking, and
clergymen generally found in the event
their topic.
Roberts Still Without News.
Details Of the relief are still wants
ing, the British military authorities be-
ing without dispatches. Lord Roberts
wires that he knows Of the relief only
thr1ugh a press agency.
Pie following is the text Of Lord
Robes dispatch:

that the war Office expects direct news
today.
Field Situation Little Changed.
The situation in the field has changed
but little since Friday. Lord Roberts
troops are in fine form and abundantly
supplied. Indications seem to point to
an early movement, his cavalry, riding
over several hundred square miles in
a semi-circle beyond KroOnstad. havs
received the submission Of hundreds Of
Free Staters.
It now appears that the Dewet, who
offered to surrender, with 900 men was
not the we'll known General Dewet, but
COmmandant Dewet. He stipulated
that his men should be allowed to re-
turn to their farms. Lord Roberts re-
piled that the surrender must be un-
conditional.
The Botha who was captured the
other day was Philip Botha.
Those surrendering are sOlemnly
warned that Il they break the oath
of neutrality their houses will be
burned and their farms cOnfiscated.
Those who yield do so only for pro-
lection.
Beers Said to Have Lost Heavily.
Reports flow in to Lord Roberts of
the discOura cement of the Beers and
of their willingness, even in the case
of the Transvaalers, to give up. Presl-
dent Steyn is described as having lost
his head several times recently.
