A BOLD PLOT
To Kill British Officers and
Make Roberts Prisoner.
Discovered at Pretoria--Ten Of Ring
leaders Are Now in jail.
Munles has Captured 4140 Prisoners, Three
Guns and 1000 Horses.

London, Aug. 10.-4.45 A. M.-The
Daily News has the following dispatch
from Pretoria, dated Aug. 3:
"A plot to shoot all the British Of
ficers and to make Lord Roberts a
prisoner has been opportunely discov-
cred. Ten of the ringleaders were ar
rested and are now in Jail. Probably
the plot was part of conspiracy of
which the attempted rising at
Johannesburg was the first indication. -
The following report, dated Pre-
toria, Aug. s. has been received from
Lord Roberts:
Kitchener was informed Wednes-
day, by an escaped British prisoner
that De Vets wagons had crossed the
Vaal. Afterwards heard the sound of
guns which, think, must have been
Methuen's. as directed him to take up
a position between Potchefstroom and
Lindique, where he could intercept the
enemy who crossed the river at De
Vets drift.
Kitchener is crossing the Vaal with
cavalry and mounted infantry.
Hunter reports that he made i14O
prisoners in the Bethlehem Harrismith
district. majority of whom are now
en- route for Cape Town. Three guns
and 1900 horses were captured and 10
wagon loads of ammunition and 1885,
900 pounds of ammunition were de-
stroyed ..
"The garrison of Glands river. which,
/ fear. has been captured. consisted of
about 300 bushmen and Rhodesians. 1
had. hoped that Darlington had been
in time to withdraw the garrison, but
il seems that Delarey, learning of Ian
Hamiltons approach to Rustenburg
hurried westward and surrounded the
garrison before Darlington arrived
"Methuen telegraphs that he engaged
part of De Vets force. Wednesday.
near Bentreskoon. He drove the
enemy off of a succession of hills.
which they obstinately held. Our cas-
ualties were seven 'men killed or
wounded. including four officers
