have now evacuated Biggarsberg. The

trained at Glencoe. The last train with

duced by the action of the fifth division,

done great deal of hard work in

making. Trains are now running to

WHITE FLAG VIOLATED.
London. May 16.-The war office posts
the following dispatch from Lord Rob-
erts:
'Kroonstadt, May 15.-Two officers
.
guards, while out foraging yesterday a
few miles from Kroonstadt, visited a
farm flying the white flag, the owner of
which surrendered with arms and am
munition. They then approached an
other farm, also flying the white flag.
When within forty-yard inclosure
they were fired upon by fifteen or six
teen Beers concealed behind the farm
walls. Two men were killed, Lieut.. F.
B. Walton was wounded, and Lieut.. W.
B. Evestin and two on-commissioned
officers were taken prisoners.
BOERS REPULSED.
Lorenzo Marques, May ia Portu-
guese official dispatch says that an en-
counter occurred at Mafeking, and that
the Beers were repulsed with heavy
loss
ADVISED TO SURRENDER.
London, May 16.-The most important
development in to-day's war news is the
statement cabled from Cape Town an
nouncing that the Boer delegates ad-
vised the Transvaalers to surrender IL
defeated at the Vaal This remarkable
announcement evidently obtains Gre
dence at Cape Town.
CONTRADICTORY DISPATCHES.
The occupation of Glencoe was mere
ly logical sequence of General Buffers
advance and the Boers' retiring move
ment. AS usual, the Beers are reported
as flying precipitately, but also, as
usual, accounts add that their trans
portation guns were removed in safe
ty, which Is contradiction of any
statement that the Beers are panic
stricken. Nothing further has been
heard from Mafeking.

dered barren and worthless. The speak
er made strong point Of the fact that

to impound 1000. 900 acre feet, while for
the purpose Of bringing back to culti-
walton the land claimed by Mexico to
have been ruined, a dam and reservoir
capable Of impounding 10000 acre feet
would be of sufficient magnitude. In
consideration of the big dam. however
