LONDON. July 13.-Lord Roberts
dispatch regarding an unfortunate oc-
currence throws q serious light upon
the state of affairs In South Africa.
There has been some comment recently
regarding the virtual absence OF prog
ress BY the imnense army under the
commmand OF Lord Roberts. bat few
could be found to believe that ,thc scat
ter!ng Beers were able 10 lnt!lct such
defeat so near Pretoria.
Instead of the surrender OF all the
remaining Beers being imminent, as re-
cent telcgrams had hintrd, It seems
they have been making u concerted at
tempt to surround or recapturs Pre-
toria. with so much success that In the
region which was supposed to be paci-
fled and In which no attack was expect
ed, they succeeded In inflicuns seri-
Gus defeat and capturing two guns and
200 mcn.
Botha Has Large Forces.
1t Is evident that General 8othl has
considerable force. seeing that he is
able to press Lord Roberts lines at q
half dozen points around Pretoria from
the Springs to the southeast OF the
city. northward to MiddleSurS and
Durde Poort. and thence southwark to
Nitrals Mex and Krugersdorp. &:
Lord Roberts omits to give the aame
OF the commander concerned giving
rise to the belief that worse remains to
be told. Even II the m!shap oe not
more grave than his information at
present implies. 1t proves that the Sit
uat!on Is stu serious and that there
is no possibility of any troops being
spared from South Africa for China:
but, on the contrary, that It vii! still
take long time to clear the ceuntry OF
the Bocrs.

Extraordinary interest attaches to the
outcome of this struggle, owing to the
differences which have arisen on the Re-
publican side of the chamber. 1t had
been arranged that the debate should
proceed Monday night but this must give
way to the Republican conference in the
hall of the house at s p. M, when a final

and agree upon compromise bill.
For the rest of the week no exact pro-
cedure has been arranged, except that
the Alabama contested election case of

as soon as the Puerto Rican bill is out of
the way. This case involves race ques-
