BRITISH ENTER
JOHANNESBURG
The Boer City Capitulated
Without Resistance.
ROBERTS WAS WELCOMED
Burghsr Officials Were Requested To
Retain Their Places---British Flag
Hoisted With Great Ceremony.

A cablegram was received in London
Saturday from Lord Roberts dated
johannesburg May 3lst, but which
was not dispatched from there until
$50 a. m. of June 1st, which says:
s'The occupation of johannesburg
passed off quite satisfactorily, thanks
to the excellent arrangements made by
DR.. Kraus, the Transvaal commandant
here, and order prevailed throughout
the town.
cdr. Kraus met me on my entrance
to johannesburg and rode by my side
to the government offices, where he
introduced me to the heads of several
departments, all of whom acceded to
my request that they would continue
to carry on their respective duties un-
til they could be relieved of them.
Johannesburg is very empty, but
good crowd of people assembled in
the main square by the time the
British flag was being hoisted. A
royal salute was fred and three cheers
for the queen were given.
cat the end of the ceremonies the
Seventh and Eleventh divisions
marched past with the naval brig
ade, the heavy artillery and two brig
ade divisions of the royal field artil-
lery-
General Ian Hamilton's column
and the cavalry division and mounted
infantry were too far away to take part
in the ceremony. The troops looked
very workmaulike and evidently took
keen interest in the proceedings"
According to delayed dispatches
reaching Pretoria, johannesburg was
formally handed over to the British at
II O'Clock on the morning of May 3lst,
in an orderly manner. Lord Roberts
was accompanied by a small force.
The banks are being guarded. There
was slight engagement outside Jo-
hannesburg, and some Australian
scouts were shot in street fighting.
After this message was sent to the
nearest British general notifying him
that the town would not be defended.
Lord Lansdowne, secretary of state
for war, has received the following
from Lord Roberts, dated Orange
Grove. June I'd:
Johannesburg is quiet. The peo-
pie are surrendering arms and ponies.
Only three Boer guns were left in the
fort. The Queenslanders shipped
May 30th, Cruesot, with eleven
wagons of stores and ammunition.
Commandant Botha, of Zoutpanberg,
his field cornet and one hundred pris-
oners were taken in the fighting
around johannesburg. some belong
ing to the foreign contingents and
the Irish brigade. The Thirteenth
Yoemanry were attacked May 29th
between Kroonstad and Lindley.
There were some casualties"
FRENCH NEAR PRETORIA.
A London special of June 4 says:
There is no direct news from Pretoria
of later date than Thursday evening.
General French's cavalry were then at
Irene, eight miles south of Pretoria,
and firing was heard there. Lord
Roberts messages about secondary
operations elsewhere and the situation
at johannesburg, dated at Orange
Grove, farm four miles northeast of
johannesburg, show that on Saturday,
at $40 D. M, he was twenty-five miles
from Pretoria

Battlefield Points Located.

Battlefield Points Located.
A Chattanooga dispatch says: Gov
ernor McSweeney and the South Car
olina monument commission, after
spending the day at Chickamauga
park, in company with General 81. V.
Boynton, returned home Monday
night, having located eight important
points on the battlefield held by South
Carolina troops during the famous
fight, where markers are to be placed,
and also selected the site for the
handsome monument to be erected by
the state on the reservation.
The site of the monument is half
way up the slope of Snodgrass hill and
marks the limit reached by KershaW'
South Carolina brigade in their famous
assault on Thomas position at the
close of the memorable battle. The
monument will, therefore, stand at the
open, in plain view of the railroad
station at Lytle. The various sites
selected for monuments and markers
were staked off and work on the
preparation of the foundations will be-
gin at once.

A Bleachery In Sight.

A Bleachery In Sight.
A charter was granted few days
ago to the Clear Water Bleachery and
Manufacturing company of Aiken, The
capital stock is to be 100000, and
the president and treasurer is Thomas
Barrett, Jr., of Augusta, who is con-
nected with cotton mills in Augusta,
Graniteville and other factories across
the Savannah in South Carolina.
While the south is rapidly manufac-
turing cotton to an extent that it is
generally believed will, within few
years, enable her to handle all the cot
ton raised in the cotton belt, yet there
has never been bleachery established
in this section. The trough" pro-
duct has been manufactured in south
ern mills, and returns here finely fin
ished through New England blescher-
les. It is said that only the purest
and clearest sort of water can be used
in bleachery. It must be water free
from certain minerals, and such water
has not been found in South Carolina
heretofore.
The Clear Water company in Aiken
has been in process of organization for
several years, and the establishment
of the bleachery means great thing
for the cotton mill industry of the
south.
The directors of the company are

Tinted States Has Lost the
Danish West Indies.
Germany viii Get Them Under
a Long Lease.
WAS MADE
And Might Have Been Closed by
Due Diligence.
Danish People Have Made a
Row and Trade is Of.

New York, March PA special to
the World from Washington says:
The resignation of the Danish cabinet
means two things of Importance to the
United States.
First, it is improbable that this coun-
try will be able to buy the Danish West
Indies for 81 0e0, 900. as provided for in
the Gardner bill now before the for
eign relations committee of the house,
or for any other sum.
Second, by the time this congress ad-
journs the German flag win be flying
over the islands of St John and St.
Thomas of the Danish West Indies
group by right of lease from the DAN
ish government to the emperor of Ger
many.
Negotiations between this govern
ment and Denmark for the purchase. of
the islands were practically terminated
by the resignation of the Danish min
istry. headed by Prime Minister Hoer-
ring.
The cabinet resigned because of the
great popular uprising against the sale
of the Danish West Indies to the Uni
ted States. King Christian and the
cabinet of Denmark had consented to
sell the islands to this country for S4,-
000, 900. 1t was stipulated however, that
the sale should be made before the ad-
journment of the present session OF
congress. The Gardner bill was intro
duced at the instance of the president
and Secretary Hay, and had 1t been
acted upon speedily. or eveh consid-
cred, the cabinet might have been
forced to resign, but the bargain ar
ranged would have been carried out.
The new cabinet will be made up OF
Danish politicians in favor of retain
ing the islands,
In 1867 contract of sale between the
United States and Denmark for these
islands was entered into. The price
was to be $780, 00O. The treaties failed
by the refusal of the United States
senate to ratify them.
Germany has been trying to secure
the islands, and While it is the deter
mination of Denmark not to selEatheEn
to any other country and not to sell
them to the United States if it can be
avoided, an option for a lease for a
long term of years has been given to
Germany for the islands of st. Thomas
and ST. John. If the United States does
not buy them Germany will lease them
and get control of the magnificent har-
Dor of St. John.
ANOTHER STORY.
Copenhagen, March 24-The Danish
cabinet have intimated to the king their
desire to resign owing to the attitude of
the F'olkething (the lower house Of
parIiamenD regarding the governments
taxation proposals, but the ministers
will remain in office until the end of the
parliamentary session.

committee to wait upon General Mana
..-l.- AI...ig@ and see what could be done
in the direction of securing the IA
provements to Topeka. President Hol-
man was very i'll at the time and has
been unable to see anyone most of the
time since, and the appointment of the
committee was left until he was able to
attend to it.
The matter was brought to his atten-
ton last night and he has appointed p.
/ Bonebrake, William Green, j. K.
Hudson, w. H. Davis and Chas. Wolff
as members of the committee.
In addition to a conference with Gen
era1 Manager Nudge. it is probable that
a general meeting of business men and
the present owners of the proposed
shop sites will now be called to meet
promptly. It is now probable that
the Commercial club viii agree to assist
the shop men in moving their houses to
other locations, if the shop men in re-
turn will sell their lots for the value of
the lots themselves without improve
ments-
Mr.. Nudge will leave tomorrow. on a
trip through Texas, and will be away
from Topeka at least a week. He so
informed Secretary Anderson of the
Commercial club this amorning, stating
that he would have to examine the re-
port of the right of way agent before he
would be in a position to discuss the
ma tier intelligently with the committee.
To a State Journal reporter MI. Nudge
said this morning:
1.-The right of way agent is now seeur-
ing prices on the desired property, and
when I get his report will know just
how far apart the property owners and
the company stand. We have a large
tract of land at Newton. and have
had letters from the Commercial club
of that city stating practically that the
company could have anything it wanted
in the event of the location of the new
shops there. My disposition is to build
the shops in Topeka, and while I don't
think Mr.. Barr would agree to pay any
thing for the privilege of staying here
if the property east of the car sheds can
be purchased at the price of vacant
land in that vicinity, [ think am safe
in saying that the shops viii be built
here"
The people who have homes on the
desired sites are of course entitled to
the most respectful consideration, but if
they are unreasonable they not only
jeOpardize the entire commercial inter
ests of Topeka, but they will lower the
value of their own homes and property
unless they meet this question in a
broad generous manner. If they en-
deavor to get two prices for their lots
they may overreach themselves and see
the value of their property reduced by
reason Of the new shops going else
where.
