London, May Z. 1870 a. m.-General
Lord Roberts is making better progress
than anyone had dared TO hope and is
meeting with success at all points. The
only news of the actual occupation Of
Winburg is the incidental reference 10
it IN the dispatch from Vet river de-
scribing General Pole-Carews operations,
but as the latest news of General Hamil-
tons operations, dated Saturday morning,
was that he was then attempting to force
the difficult passage over Little Vet
river on the Boemfontcin-W inburg road,
there can be no doubt that the news of the
occupation is accurate.
The Beers. following their customary
practice, had evacuated their positions on
the Vet river during Saturday night. AS
Lord Roberts. advancing along the rail-
way, and General Hamilton, twenty miles
to the east threatened the two wings of
the Boer forces, It would not be surpris-
ing to hear that they had also evacuated
Winburg.
General Hsmilton's advance will prevent
the Boer forces in the direction of Tha-
banchu Joining their main army near
Winburs.
General Rumble on Saturday had arrived
in pursuit of the Beers seven miles north
of Thabanchu, compelling the Beers to
retire in an easterly direction.
A Boer account of the capture of Brand
fort says
THE Federal forces, although weak in
numbers. offered strong resistance. but
they were forced by the overwhelming
force opposed to them to evacuate the
town"
General hunters progress, although
slow, Is satisfactory The idea chat the
relief of Matching is in sight. however,
appears TO have neen premature, as the
Beers in that quarter are still stoutly re-
sisting the British advance

Especial to The Post.J
New York. May 6.--The Worlds London
cable says:
War Secretary Roots outburst concern
ing the Monroe doctrine was not the mere
shot fired into space, as his subsequent
explanation would seem to indicate.
Its true history is. this; In the course
of the negotiations for the purchase OF
the Danish West India islands the German
government intmated to Denmark that
Germany. in view of her future naval pol
icy, desired to purchase site for coal
ing station in the Danish West Indies
and that any deal with the United States
should be subject to that condition.
Germany can make herself dis1greeahle
to Denmark in many ways and the Danish
government represented itself TO Washing
ton as being compelled to accede to Ger
manys demand or else abandon the idea
of selling the islands TO the United States.
This was the origin Of Mr.. Roots appar-
entity abstract warning.
The World can further state that Mr..
Henry Whites present visit to Washing
ton is directly connected with the ques-
ton of sthe Danish West Indies. The
negotiations were originated by him when
he was charge daffaires here and he has
gone over to do all ne can to facilitate
the carrying out OF the transaction.
