Kruger Says There Will be no Sur
render-BOtha Opposes French
With ten Thousand Beers.

London, Sunday. June g.
Pretoria is still unoccupied by
the British army, to Judge from
Lord Roberts failure to report
the eagerly awaited event, and
England is beginning to wonder
if after his successful entry into
the Transvaal, a new campaign
must .now be planned and the
enemy be followed into the Lady
brand Businesses, whittier they
are apparently going with their
heavy guns.
Evidence that the Beers have
not given up the struggle is af-
forded in plenty by the recent
trapping of Bra bant's patrols.
The sharp fighting near Senekal,
in which the British it is now
known, had thirty-two killed and
$50 wounded, and the fierce at
tack on Warren at Douglas, in
Cape Colony, events in widely
scattered sections of the field of
war, point plainly to long-contir-
ued guerrilla warfare, unless the
main body of the enemyis speed
ly crushed or captured.
The exact situation as to Preto-
ria is mystery. According to a
press dispatch from there Thurs
day, British patrols were around
the town and the citizens com
mittee was maintaining order
In a dispatch dated at Johannes
burg late Friday night, Lord Rob
erts says not word about the
Boer capitol, and tells vaguely
about French having taken up the
position north of johannesburg
to which he has been ordered
Wide speculation is possible as to
the extent and meaning of the
important operations which
Lord Roberts doubtless has in
progress. The seeming de-
lay in the British COM
mander's dispatches has CIV
en- rise to a theory that his com.
munications to the southwark
are being tampered with. 1t Is
generally believed that the Brit
ish forces are cautiously advanc-
ing on Pretoria, taking every
military precaution which they
would were the enemy known tC
