WILL HAVE TO FIGHT.
The Entry to Pretoria May Not Be Il
TriunDiluI March.

LONDON, May 3l.-Lord Roberts, latest
dispatches shed a somewhat different light
on the military situation. Before they were
received celebrations were organized in
the country towns, In honor of the tali
of Pretoria. In Chester pubic hoildaE
was declared while a Dover, Portsmouth
and many other places in the provinces,
flags were flown and rejoicings were gen
eral. Pretoria, however, Is. not yet in the
hands of the British. though there IS no
reason to doubt-tne authenticity or the re
port that Kruger has evacuated the place
and that the municipality is ready to sur
render when confronted by Superior num-
berS.
At 9 o'clock last night the final forward
movement on the Transvaal capital had
apparently not commenced All Lord Rob
erts dispositions of troops appear to APP
ply to Jolla nneSburg, and though the Brit
ish seem certain to reach Pretoria WITHIN
a day or so, they will not occupy 1t with
out fighting, if the opposition of the Beers
around Johannesburg is any criterion. Gen
eral Frenchs movement appear not 50
much an immediate advance on pretoria,
as part of a plan to surround Johannes
burg, from which last night ne was only
a few miles distant.
ROBERTS POSITION.
Lord Roberts himself is at Elandsfonteln
Junction His forces will be placed TO the.
Snu1h-WeSt and north OF JOHANNESBURG,
SUBSEQUENT to the surrender of the city.
These units will probably be reconcentrat-
ed while General French advances from
the advantageou position ne already oc-
cupies.
The main army is converging towards
the railroad, following closely on his
heels. Supposins that Johannesburg sur
renders at noon to-day, Pretoria should
be reached by June ID, opposition or no
opposition.
General ,Brabant's loss Of forty men is
striking evidence that the annexation Of
the Free State by no means implies It's
pacifcation.
So thoroughly is he imbued with the be
lief that Pretoria has fallen, that Mir.
joseph Chamberlain, the Secretary of State
for the Colonies, speaking to-day at
meeting of the University OF Blrmlng-
ham, proposed message to the Queen,
congra tulating her upon the capture of
johannesburg and Pretoria, which was
sent to the afternoon papers.
The afternoon papers all Acknowledged
the prompt frendliness OF the United
States Consul at Pretoria, Mr.. Adelbert S.
Hay, in insisting on the release OF num-
Der of British officers to take command
of the British prisoners. in order 10 avert
a disturbance among the latter.

Beer Enyoys Talk About Recent War
D,yeI0DmentS.

BOSTON, MASS, May s1.-The Boer en-
voys were given warm reception at the
State House this afternoon. They called
on Governor Crane, and after paying their
respects to him, were escorted to the
House. A recess was taken and the mem
bers crowded around the visitors.
The guests addressed the House briefly
and afterwards spent some time in watch
ing the proceedings. They did not so to
the Senate Chamber.
The ENJOYS did not seem greatly de-
pressed by the news from Johannesburg,
and Pretoria. Mr.. Fischer pointed out
that the. English forces have not captured
a single piece of artillery or any consider
able munitions of war
Our guns, supplies, ETC., have been
taken along with our troops and they will
yet be used effectually, if I am not great
~ mistaken
THE fact that President Kruger has re-
treated to Waterfall Bowen, and that this
is declared the capital of our government,
shows that our people are still determined
to win their independence. Our capital is
where our President chooses to make it.
The fact that Lord Roberts annexed the
Orange Free State the other day means
nothing The United States could annex
Canada by proclamation, but something
more effective would have to follow to
make it fact
Mr.. Fischer added the statement that
President Kruger would not surrender
while there was a bullock cart and six
teen oxen in the Transvaal to transport
him from place to place.
Mr.. Vessels said that if President kru-
ger had been going to surrender he would
have remained in the city, while the Beers
would not have carried away their guns
and ammunition If they had intended to
capitulate.
