LONDON, June..ll Sir For.
estier Walker wires to the war Office
from Cape Town under Sundays date as
follows: Information received from
natives early Saturday reports the en-
smy in three columns near Honig
Spruit. The railway has been almost
completely destroyed between America
Siding and Roodeval."
LONDON, June 1.-The Beers have
torn up ~ miles Of Lord Roberts vital
line of railway between America Sid.
ing and Roodeval. It is . bold raid
and vexatious, but it does not disquiet
the military authorities as yet for they
expect General Kelly. Kenny to drive
of the marauders and reopen the line.
The rapidity Of the advance Of Lord
Roberts cannot have permitted him to
have accumulated large reserve of
stores. Therefore interruption Of the
railway even fora week must embar-
rass the army and must bring the for.
ward operations to a standstill. Nothing
has been heard from Lord Roberts for
three days. This raid Of the enemy,
this strenuous opposition to- General
Rumble and the nimble escape Of Com
mant General Botha's division have
forced the war Office observers to the
reluctant conclusion that the war is not
yet over, although even the occasional
hopeful Boer sympathizer cannot see
how the Boers can do anything tc
change tho result. DR..
I General Butler is in Boer territory.
Dispatches of correspondents with him
describe the corps as camping at Gallon
sell, close to tho point where the from
tiers of the Free State, the Transvall
and Natal meet.
