ROBERTS AT KRooNsrAD.
Transvaalers Cross yaal to Fight On
Their Own Soil.

Transvaalers Cross vaal to Fight On
Their Own Soil.
LONDON, May 1.-THE situation at
the seat of war in South Africa is as
satisfactory from the British point Of
view as the most sanguine friend could
have hoped week ago. The occupa-
ton of Kroonstad practically places
the whole Orange Free State in British
possession. 1t is evident from Lord
Roberts's last dispatch that the disin-
tegration has commenced. The Free
Staters are scattering to their homes,
while the Transvaalers have gone
northward, declining to fight longer
in the Orange Free State. What little
resistance the former still are likely to
make seems to be centering at Lind
ley, whittier President Steyn has
transferred his government. 1t is evil
dent that the strategy of Lord Roberts
and the rapidity of his advance have
bewildered and dishe artened the Beers,
as their resistance since the British
reached Zand river has been slight.
The war office has received the fol-
lowing dispatch from Roberts:
"KRooNsTAD, May FL entered
Krconstad without opposition to-day,
when the Union Jack was hoisted
amidst cheers from the few British
residents. Steyn fed last evening,
after vainly endeavoring to persuade
the burghers to continue opposing us.
The Transvaalers said they would no
longer fight on Orange Free State soil
and made off for the Vaal river. Free
Staters accused the Transvaalers of
having made use Of them and then de-
serting. Many of the Free Staters
have gone to their homes. Before
leaving Kroonstad, President Steyn
issued proclamation making Lindley
the seat of government of the Free
State. Generals Botha and DeWet ac-
companied the Transvaalers."

Stronghold.

LONDON, May IA British column
1000 strong has arrived at Vryburg,
100 miles south of Mafeking. 1t

harrassed by the Beers, is pushing
swiftly forward. Fifty miles south of
Vryburg, at Taungs, is General Hun

his march Friday toward Kroonstadt,
twenty miles distant, and by this time
he must know whether the Beers in
tend to fight there.

Germany Wasn't In the Deal.

BERLIN, May 12.-The report that
the European powers have sent a col
lective note to President Kruger warn
ing him that his government would be
held responsible for the safety of the
johannesburg mines, is untrue so far
as Germany is concerned. A high Of
fetal of the foreign Office also asserts
that there is no truth in the report
that the European powers have sent
to President Kruger warning
note against DESTROYING the gold
mines.

Taft was the center of group of wo-

will. The judge grew impatient at
the delay and was very grum on the

SALISBURY Is BITTER.
British Premier Blasts Ireland's Hope
of Independence.


LONDON, May l1.-Lord Salisbury
made a most Incorporating speech
at Albert Hall before the Primrose
League, condemning Mr.. Gladstone's
home rule policy both in South Africa
and in Ireland. He took the grace out
of the recent visit of the queen to Ire
land by the vehemence with which he
warned lrishmen that recent events in
South Africa proved that there could
not be practical independence any
where in the empire with opportun-
tiles for arranging hostile forces
I against the imperial government.
1t was trenchant but acrid speech,
and was not well timed. He said in
part:
IL am assured that there is no hope
of the predominant painter ever con-
senting to give Ireland practical indie
pendence. We have learned some
thing from the South African war
How disloyal government, in spite
OF warnings, could accumulate arma-
ments against the most powerful COM
Blatant and thus secure terrible
advantage. We now know better than
we did ten years ago what risk it
would be if we gave a dIsloyal govern
ment in Ireland the power of accumu-
lating forces against this country
That root of bitterness against Eng
land, which l am unable to explain,
may be mere caprice to satisfy the ex-
licences of journalists to-day, or it may
indicate deep-seated feeling which,
later, we may have to reckon with.
There can be no security nor conf
dence in the feelings or sympathy of
other nations except through the
efficiency Of our own defense and the
strength of our own right arm. Every
where the power of offense is increas-
ing, and who knows but all these
things may be united in one great
wave to dash upon our shores?"
