gests that contributions be sent through

gratifying feature of his administra-
ton, which he says is the progress

The Ease with which Boer Towns
were Taken Smells of suspicion.

New York. June Ga dispatch
to the Tribune from London says:
The facility with which Johan-
nesburg and Pretoria have been
taken leads many military men to
suspect that there has been a
secret understanding between Pres
ident Kruger and the British gov
ernment by which the war will be
brought to an end without unnscess
sary loss of life and wasteful des-
truction of property. This theory.
while plausible, cannot be proved,
since neither President Kruger
nor Lord Roberts will admit that
there has Deen any secret intrigue
or that the closing scenes of the
war have been prearranged in any
sense. The safer generalization Is
that the Beers have fought gal
lantly against the resources OF a
mighty empire, and have been
finally overwhelmed by superior
numbers and energy, and that
Lord Roberts has worked out an
intricate problem in the dynamics
of war. He has known how much
force was needed on the advance
line and what kind of force, and
how to protect his line of communi-
cations most effectively by opera
tions on the eastern flank under
General Rumble.
There are many signs that the
struggle will end in the course OF
a fortnight, and the details of the
surrender of Pretoria, cemmuni.
Gated by Lord Roberts at midnight
support this view.
London, June GA dispatch
from Lorenzo Marquee, dated
Tuesday, June 3. says:
General Butler and Christian
Botha met at Laings Mex, at Bul
ler's request. when a three days
armistiee was agreed upon"

Coming to Their Doom.

1t has been suggested that the
Marcum delegations of the northern
and central districts should meet at
South McAlester on Saturday, the
9th instant, and perfect a complete
organization of their forces. This
movement is of the gravest i'm
portance and upon such organiza :
ton alone is success possible.
There must be organization of
forces and absolute concert of ac-
tion to insure success. There must
be generals, colonels, captains and
lieutenants, whose orders must be
obeyed or defeat is certain. All
can not be leaders; the great mass
must be followers if success is to
be obtained. So let no rivalry for
leadership spring up in the camp
and bring defeat and modification
on all This is to be memorable

duty promptly and disinterestedly
