" VI
London, May II, 1896 a. m.-The
war Office has posted the following
dispatch from Gen. Butler, dated Dun
dee, May 16:
I'VE occupied Glencoe yesterday.
The Transvaalers have now evacuated
Biggarsberg. The Free Staters, on the
D~rakensburg, are much reduced in
numbers. The Carolina, Gutenberg
and Pretoria commanders trekked
north from Hlatikulu on the 18th and
14th of May, with II guns, and were
entrained at Glencoe. The last train
with ambulance left there at dawn
May Is. This result has been largely
produced by the action of the fifth
division which, during the last few
days, has done a great deal of very
hard work-marching, mountain
climbing and road making.
Trains are now running to IVES

Boef delegates Saidt to Have Advised

Bul.LER's REoCcupATIoM OF GLENCOE,
Dispatch From Lorenzo Marques
Suys the Boers Have Been Re-
pulsed at Mafcking with heavy
Loss-Another Instance of Viola
ton Of the white FlaE.

London, May 16.-The most import
mt developments in the days wal
news is the statement cabled o
Cane Town announcing that the Boer
delegates had advised the T~ransvaal-
ers to surrender if defeated ut the
Vaal. This remarkable announce
ment is vouched for Oh good authority,
and evidently obtains more credence in
Cape Town than would NC q mere
rumor.
A Logical
The occupation of Glencoe was
merely a logical sequence OF Gen. Bull
ler's advance and the Beers retiring
movement. As usual the Boers are re-
rcrted to be flying precipiiately, but,
also as usual, the accounts add that
their transports and guns were re-
moved in safety, which in itself is a
contradiction of any statement that
the Beers were panic-stricken.
Nothing New From MnfekinE.
Nothing further has been heard
from Mafeking and it is reasonable to
suppose that the conditions there are
unchanged. The ~prolongation of The
siege only intensifes Great Britain's
anxiety to hear of its relief.
