Victory OF the Rocrs SO Near Pretoria
Hard to Believe.

London, July 13.--Lord Roberts dis
patch reporting still another unfortu
nate occurrence throws a serious light
upon the state of affairs in South At
RIGA. There has been so much comment
recently regarding the virtual absence
of progress by the immense army un-
der command of Lord Roberts that but
few could have been found to believe
that the scattered Beers We're able to
infict such defeat so near Pretoria
Instead of the surrender Of all of the
remaining Beers being imminent, as re-
cent kilograms had hinted, it seems that
they have been making concerted at
tempt to surround or recapture Preto-
ria, with so much success that In the
region which was supposed to be pac-
flied and in which no attack was ex-
pected they succeeded in infiicting a Sc
rious defeat and capturing two guns
and some two hundred men. 1t is evil
dent that General Botha has a consd-
cradle force, seeing that he is able to
press Lord Roberts lines at half doz-
en- points around Pretoria, from The
Springs to the southeast of the city
northward to Middleburg and Dearde-
poort and then southwards to Ntrals
Mex and Krugersdorp.
Lord Roberts omits to give the name
of the commander concerned, giving
rise to the belief that the worst is to BE-
told. Even if the mishap be not more
grave than his information at present
implies, it proves that the situation Is
still serious and that there Is no posi-
bility of any troops being spared from
South Africa for China, but, on the
contrary, that it will still take a long
time to clear the country Of the Beers.
News has reached London that Lord
Roberts has been suffering from se-
rious bowel complaint and that Lady
Roberts was hurriedly summoned from
Lord Roberts, though
now better, is still weak.

Sir Frederick Mitchell Hodgson, gov
ernor of the colony, who recently arriv-
ed here, after having been besieged at
Kumassi by rebellious tribesmen, and
who bears signs of the hardships and
priva tions to which he had been subject
ed in the course Of an interview said
that he considered his escape the most
marvellous on record. He attributed its
success to the secrecy maintained con-
corning the route chosen. The carriers
who accompanied him became SO weak
ened by starvation that everything was
abandoned and the party subsisted
upon plaintains, They endured great
hardships. Fortunately the rains were
not heavy. Had it been otherwise all
would probably have succumbed. Lady

Miles from Roberts Headquarters
smith-DOrrien Infl.c cts Severe Loss on
the BurEhers Near KrugersdOrE

London, July 12.-Lord Roberts re-
ports to the war office under date of
Pretoria, July IL, as follows:
"The enemy, having failed in their
attack upon our right rear, as mention
ed in my telegram of July 8, made a
determined attack upon our right flank
yesterday, and, l regret to say, succeed
ed in capturing Nitraps Mex, which
was garrisoned by a squadron of the
Scots Greys, with two guns of a bat
terry of the Royal Artillery and five
companies of the Lincolnshire regiment.
The enemy attacked in superior num-
bers at dawn and, seizing the hills
commanding the Mex, brought heavy
gun fire to bear upon the small garri-
son.
"Nitrals Mex is about eighteen miles
from here near where the road crosses
the Crocodile river. 1t was held by us
In order to maintain read and te.e-
graphic communication with Rusten-
berg.
"The fighting lasted more or less
throughout the day; and Immediately
on receiving information early this
morning of the enemy's strength / dis
patched reinforcements from here un-
der Colonel Godfrey of the Kings Own
Scottish Borderers
Before, however, they reached the
spot the garrison had been overpowered
and the guns and a greater portion of
the squadron of the Greys had been
captured owing to the horses being
shot; also about ninety men of the Lin
coin regiment.
"A list Of the casualties has not been
received, but / fear they are heavy.
Simultaneously an attack was made
north of the town, in which the Sew
enth Dragons were engaged. The reg
iment was handled with considerable
skill by Lieutenant-C Colonel Low, and
kept the enemy in check until they re-
tired on their supports, and would prob
ably have suffered but slight losses had
not one troop mistaken some Beers in
the bushes for our men.
Smith Dorrien had a successful en-
gagement with the enemy yesterday
near Krugersdorp and inflicted heavy
loss on them.
Butler reports that the Beers who
were destroying his line of railway
near Paardekraal were driven off yes
terday after short action.
Hart reports from Heidelberg that
the surrendering of Boer arms and am
munition continues in that district"
