FATAL DISASTER
 ID A STEAMSHIP The Virginia Stranded and Six Men Are Drowned While
 Attempting Escape.

Cape Henry, Va, May 1.-The British steamship Virginia, Captain Charles Sam uels, from Daquiri. Cuba, for Baltimore, with cargo of iron ore, and with crew of twenty-six men, including one stowa- way, stranded on Diamond Shoal about p. m. Wednesday, May 8, during thick, heavy weather. The crew took to the boats and attempted to leave the ship. One boat with fifteen of the crew got away, but the other boat was swamped and six men drowned
 The remaining five got back on the steamer, where they remained until this morning, when they were rescued and brought ashore by the crews of the Creeds Hill and Cape Hatteras life saving stations.
 The ship stranded about 12 miles from shore and owing to the thick, squally weather, which has prevailed for several days, she was not discovered by the life- savers until this morning. The rescue was made in the station life boats. Much diff hculty was encountered the boats start ing early this morning, but were not able to land until o'clock this afternoon The ship is now nearly all under water, and is total loss.
 The following are known to be drowned
 SAMUEL PARK, steward.
 P. ST. GEORGE VALLEY, chief en- gineer.
 HARRIS, seaman.
 OLSEN, seaman.
 TWO FIREMEN, names unknown.
 The boat with fifteen of the crew, which got away from the ship, when last seen was running off shore before the v.nd and was apparently safe.

ROBE ERTS IS NOW
 GOING FORWARD  Horses Picketed on. South Bank
 of Vet River, BOERS RETARD|NG ADVANCE
Both Lord Roberts and Kitchener Have Arrived at Brandiort-French's Cav airy Is Sweeping Country North-
 Mard-ReIief Nearer Mafeking.

London, May 5.-4:05 a. m.-The mounted infantry with Lord Roberts, among which are the Canadians, have picketed their horses on the south bank of the Vet river, eighteen miles north of Brandfort. The head of Lord Roberts column has thus advanced thirty-two miles from Karee Sid- ing in two days, or fifty-three miles north of Bloemfonten.
 Little powder was spent The British marching was hard work, the Boers retir- ing out of the reach of the British shells The correspondents supplement Lord Rob erts' plain statements with a few details As General Hutton, with the First mounted infantry brigade, drew near Brandfort he saw a khald-clad body of troops ahead of him. He was surprised, but thought they must be British. Soon, however, they opened fire upon the men, who replied heavily. They were the Irish American brigade from Lourenzo Marques, and 1t is reported that the Irish lost heavily.
 The Beer flag was flying over Frankfort as the British entered the town. Several British wounded were found in the hospital. The Beer postmaster gave up the keys to the public building to Captain Ross.
 
 noon and Lord Roberts at dusk General F'rench's cavalry is sweeping the country northward The expectation is that the in- fantry advance will be continued toward kroonstad immediately. Although no pris- oners were taken and although no hot pur- suit was attempted, the news greatly cheers London, Nevertheless, it has not been re- ceiyed with the fine rapture that attended the first success of Lord Roberts. Relief Closer to Mafesing General Hunters crossing the Vaal at Wlndsorton brings the relief of Mafelxing l95 miles beyond, almost within a calcula- bie interval It is now regarded as quite possible that Mafeking may be succored before the queens birthday.
 The debate in parliament on the Spion Kop dispatches proved a disappointment to the supporters of the government The ministerialist papers confess to a certain amount of inconsistency and weakness in the statements of the spokesmen on the government. On the other hand as the Standard points out, the opposition pro- fess to, be well satisfied with the debate, as they believe it has injured the govern ment and has rendered Lord Landsdownes g continuance at the war office difficult Wepener Is to be garrisoned with strong force from General Chermiside's division, commanded by Lord Castletown. Henry Lucey, writing in the Daily News, says he has ascertained that Sir Alfred Miners letter against women visiting South Africa was written the result of an intimation from Queen Victoria.
