EARLY AFRICAN WAR NEWS
CAUSE OF ROBERTS' DELAY IN
 ENTERING JoHANNESBU URG.

| Commnndant Asked for TSventy-four
 Hours Time and His R,quent Wns | Grantcd-Hard Fighting With Hoer Forces West of the City-kopjes Clear ed by the Gordon Highlnnders. London, May 31.--The war office made
 patch from Lord Roberts, under date of
 Germiston, May 30:
 'In answer to flag of truce I sent to
 Johannesburg this morning the com- mandant came to see me. He begged me to defer entering the town for twen- ty-four hours, as there were many arm ed burghers still inside. I agreed to | this, as I am most anxious to avert the possibility of anything like disturbance inside the town, and as bodies of the enemy are still holding the hills in the immediate neighborhood, from which they will have to be cleared off before hand
 Bundle reports that he attacked large party of Boers near Senekal on Nldy 70. I1t Stlu HAD cdSudlliCo NSlC not heavy.
 "Brabant reports that on May 2S two of his patrols, consisting of two officers and forty men, were cut off by the ene- my and taken prisoners"
 The war office also received from Lord Roberts a dispatch dated Germiston, May 30, 9 p. m., saying:
 "The brunt of the fighting yesterday fell upon Ian Hamilton's column. I have sent him, as already mentioned, to work around to the west of Johannesburg in support of French's cavalry, which was directed to go north near the road lead ing to Pretoria I have not heard from French yet but Hamilton, in report which has just reached me, states that at aboue one o'clock in the afternoon he found his way blocked by the enemy strongly posted on some kopjes and ridges three miles south of the Rand They had two heavy guns and several field guns and pom poms. Hamilton forthwith attacked,
 The right was led by the Gordons, who, after capturing one extremity of the ridge, wheeled around and worked along it until after dark clearing it of the enemy, who fought most obstinate ly The One Hundred and Fourth led on the other flank and would not be de- nied, but the chief share in the action, as in the casualties, fell to the Gordons, whose gallant advance excited the ad- miration of all.
 Hamilton is now at Florida, due west of Johannesburg, and French is a few miles further to the northeast. The Gordons, the cavalry, the mounted in- fantry and the Seventh division are holding the heights of the town. The Eleventh division with Batteries H and c and the heavy artillery are south of Johannesburg.
 Hamilton speaks in high terms of praise over the manner in which Bruce Hamilton and Colonel Spens of the Shropshire Light infantry handled their men under Smith -Dorrien's direc- tion"
 General Brabants loss of forty men, in Lord Roberts first dispatch is striking evidence that the annexation of the Free State by no means implies it's pacification.
 The afternoon newspapers acknowl- ! edge the prompt friendliness of the l United States consul at Pretoria, Adel- ] bert S. Hay, in insisting on the release of a number of British officers to take | command of the British prisoners in or der to avert a disturbance among the | latter.
