PRETORIA, June 5.-Just before
dark yesterday the enemy were beaten
back from nearly ali the positions they
had been holding, and Ian Hamilton, S
mounted infantry followed them to
within two thousand yards of Pretoria,
through which they retreated hastily.
De Lisle then sent an officer with a
flag of truce into the town, demanding
its surrender in my name Shortly
before midnight l was awakened by
two officials of the South African re-
public, Sandberg, military secretary to
Commandant General Botha, and a
general officer of the Boer army, who
brought me a letter from Botha, pro-
posing an armistice for the purpose of
settling terms of surrender.
II replied that i would gladly meet
the commandant general the next
MOI ming, but thatI was not prepared
to discuss any terms, as the surrender
of the town must be unconditional. I
asked for a reply by daybrealz, as I
had ordered the troops to march on

'1n his reply, Botha told me he had

trusted women, children and property
would be protected. At o'clock a. m.
today, while on the line of march,
was met by three of the principal Of
ficials with "a flag of truce stating
their desire to surrender the town.
sit was arranged that Pretoria
should be. taken possession of by her
majesty's troops at 2 o'clock this after
noon.
Mrs. Botha and Mrs. Kruger are
both in Pretoria. Some few of the
British prisoners have been taken
away. but the majority are still at

{ MASON CITY, June s.-All of the men
working on the construction gangs of
the Iowa s. Minnesota division of the
Northwestern, about 900 in number,
have gone out on a strike for higher
wages. The men had been getting
from S1.5o to SITS. but had for some
time been dissatisfied and by pre-
arrangement of forces they walked
out in a body and refused to resume
work until the raise of 25 cents a day
which they ask for is granted. The
work on the new yards and depots was
progressing rapidly and the track was
about to enter the city from the south.
How long this will block work is I'M
certain, but it will have the effect Of a
serious set back unless the N en- can be
persuaded to go back to work.

that the only hope rested with the
hospital, and the board made an order
