Botha May Be Making Last Stand.

New York, August 2S.--Lord Roberts,
dispatches announce what many people
here take 10 be the beginning of the
last stage of the south African campaign,
says a London correspondent
The commander-in-chief held council
of war with his lieutenants on Saturday.
and on Sunday began general attack
on General Botha's intrenched position,
on which no impression had been made.
Lord Roberts reports that the Beers are
making most determined resistance.
Some think this Is really BOtha's last
stand and that If defeated here he VIII
be completely crushed.
Lord Roberts's superiority In numbers
IS so great that he may probably attempt
TO work right around the Beers and
drive them from their position by menac-
ing their line of retreat.
TO judge from previous experience II IS
unlikely that the Beers would stay long
enough to permit the maneuver to be
accomplished Meanwhile the Beers are
themselves busy In endeavoring to raid
Lord Roberts's line of communications
both in the Orange river colony and in
Natal.
To Judge by the fact that heavy re-en-
forcenents have been ordered to prepare
TO embark for south Africa in the next
few days, the British war office does
not believe that warlike operations are
dra wing TO q close.
