.oNio.v, March 7. Lord Roberta
telegraphs from Oifontuin :
"Advanced Mureh 7;theonemy is now
in full retreat, followed by our troops;
casualties fuw."
London, March 7. Tho Dutch forces
will now prohutily full Imck upon Win
hiirg,and tlmlugl) hilla between Vontors
hurt: iinil Soniikul,' between tho Vet and
Vulsch Rivers. This la described by
Hon th Afrit-ana as the moat formidable
(lefouaivo poaitiou in the Free State, and
lateral railroads lead up behind it at
Huthluhcm and Kronatad. Tho Vanl
llivur ia n lon distance behind thcae
commanding kopjes, and the Witwaters
rand Ridge, of which Johannesburg is
the key, lies to tho north. If Lord
Roberts has sent a strong body of In
fantry toward Vryburg and Mafeking, it
will naturally be reinforced and converted
in duo time into a turning column
against that Btrong position.
Tho results of the Dutch concentration
lire disclosed in the facility with which
the district south of the Ornngo ltiver
has been cleared. General Gatacre'a
Army ia not. strong since an entire
brigade was called hack to reinforce Lord
Koberla' Corps, yet he has been able to
take possession of Stormberg without a
Htnift'le. T'h'o Doers had retreated from
that natural fortress to Rooikop, and
left the road open to Hurgersdorp. The
occupation of Stormborg gives General
(iiitucrti tho control of the railway west
ward to Middleburg, and enabled him to
advance northward toward the Orange
River.
London, March 7. Lord Roberts has,
telegraphed as follows:
"Osfonteln, March 7, 4:30 p. m. Our
operation today promise to be a great
success. The enemy occupied a position
four miles north and eleven miles south
of tin) Moddtir River. I placed General
Culville's division on the north bank
and General Kelly-Kenny's and Tucker's
division, with cavalry, on the south
bank. The cavalry division succeeded
in turning tho enemy's left flank, open
inn tho ro.id (or tho sixth division, which
ia advancing without being obliged to
fire a ahot up to the present time.
" The enemy aro in full retreat toward
tho north and east. They are being
closely followed by cavalry, horso ar
tillery and mounted infantry, while
Tucker's division, Oolvlllo's Ninth
division and the Gourds Brigade, under
I'ole Carew, are making their way across
the river at l'opular's Drift, where 1
propose to place my headquarters this
evoning; Our casualties will, I trust, be
tow, as the enemy wore quite unprepared
'or being attacked by a flank uiovoment,

Mr. J, K. Lilly, a prominent citlisen of

Typhoid fever, that ran Into pnonmonla.

Ni:w Yohk, March 7. A dispatch to
tho Herald from Iierlin aaye: Uerr
Fridtjof Naneen has been interviewed
hens by a correspondent of the Lokal An
zeigor. He ia passing through iierlin on
hia way to Ilrcalau. Speaking on the
subject of hia future plana and the iate
Andre, he said Hint lie would leave
OhriHtiania on May 15. in order to carry
out hydrolnglcal studies around Iceland
for the Norwegian Government. A
specially conatructed veasei had been
ordered for this voyage. It will he similar
totiie Fram, but nmaller. The expedition
will return in the Autumn.
In reply to the question : "Do you in
tend to proceed to tho Arctic regions
agaiu?" Herr Nanaen aaid that he had
certain plans in view, which, for the
preaent. he preferred to keep Becret. Aa
to Andre, Herr Nanaen said:
"I believe as long as posttble, in hie
return, making the most liberal al
lowance of time for his reappearance,
but I no longer have any hope. I don't
believe that he is living; otherwise we
should certainly have heard of him. All
that can be looked for now is the recovery
of hia body."

China May Iluve n Clrll War.
Ciucaoo, March 7. A special to the
Record from Victoria, B. C, says : Ac
cording to Asiatic advices by the steamer
EmproBS of India, tho recent coup d'etat
of the Empress Dowager of China, in
which the Emperor, Kwang 8u, wos de
throned and tho 0 yonr-old son of Prince
Tuan named as his successor, bids fair
to embroil the Celestial Empire in Civil
War. At Swatow tho Chlneao are al
ready in revolt, and in many othor parts
of tho Empire they are taking up arms
against tho Empress and Manchua. The
reform party, which is at the head of thb
movement to foment rebellion, is in
receipt of a telegram from Kanh Yu Wei,
sent from Singapore, In which he saye
he can raise an army of 40,000.
The China Gazette eaya the Einprees
Dowager and her advisers, being afraid
of a revolution in Peking, having applied
to the Russian government for help, and
that the Japanese government lias pro
tested. Telegrams from Peking to
Japanese papers say it ia reported that
Russia has sent warships to the mouth
of the Yalu river.

CRISIS MAY COME
AT ANY TIME
Russia Will Try to Avoid a Clash Until
Her Big Railway Is Completed Nine
Months Hence, and Japan Will
Meanwhile Continue to Flood Corea
With Coolies Who Are in Reality
Trained Soldiers.
New Yokk, March 7. A dispatch to
the Herald from Yokohama says : No
one of the legations in Tokio, nor any of
the Japanese officials, will acknowledge
that war with Russia is imminent. It
is well known in diplomatic circles that
at present Japan and Russia are work
ing secretly to obtain concessions in
Corea against other nations, but this
does not mean that a clash between
Russia and Japan is not coming in the
future.
Japan is the only serious obstacle in
the way of the Russian Eastern policy.
Japan muet have Corea. which already
ia flooded with Japanese coolies, who are
really soldiers. Russian transports pass
through Nagasaki constantly loaded with
troops for Port Arthur.
The Japanese common people have a
great hatred for Ruseia, and would wel
come war without counting the cost, but
they have Utile power. Japan has not
money for war, and Russia will yield to
Japan as long as the trans-Siberian rail
road is incomplete. An American engi
neer, who has been over the road, reports
that it cannot be used effectively for nine
months.
Rumors of an impending war origi
nated in Shanghai, not in Japan, but
were based on generalizations, -not facts.
Russia is now changing her representa
tives throughout Japan, and would not
do so if she expected an immediate out
break. During the last three years a
crisis resulting in war might have arisen
at any moment, but for the present it is
not at hand, and, in the correspondent's
opinion, Russia can preveut.it until she
is ready.
Japan Will Withdraw.
New Youk, March 7. A dispatch to
the Journal aud Advertiser from Odessa
says: Among the officers of the volun
teer fleet of cruisers, who recently re
turned here from the far East, there is a
stiong belief that the enormous garrisons
being formed at Port Arthur, Dalni and
Vladivoatock will be utilized soon as a
cjerciva lever for compelling tho Ja
panese to abandon their pretensions and
acquisitions in Corea.
Tho commander of one of the cruisers
expressed his couviction that before the
end of this year Russian Influence in tho
far Eastern penineula will have become
so absolutely dominating that the Ja
panese will feel morally constrained to
give up the struggle and retire from the
many important enterprises they are
now prosecuting in Corea, and that will
open the way for the gradual assumption
of a Russian protectorate.
