ROBERTS HAS
CROSSED THE VET
Hamilton Has Captured Winburg This
Puts tlte British Army Sixty-Three
Miles North of Blocmtontcin.
London, May 7, 11 n. m. Lord Roberts
reports to the war office In a dispatch
tinted Smaldeel, May 0, afternoon, as
follows:
"V crossed the Vet river tliirs morn
inp mid are now camped nt Smaldeel
.Intuition. The enemy is in full retreat
lotvnrd the 7. uid Hiver and Kroonetadt.
Tlio turning movement was made by the
mounted infantry just before dark yester
day. Jt was u very dashing afl'.iir. The
Canadians, New South Wales, New
Zialani! Uifles and Qaeensland Mounted
Infaiitiy vied with each other in the
determination to close witii the enemy.
Captain Anley, of the Essex Regiment,
commanding the Third Infantry Hut
tulimi, behaved in n very gallant manner.
"Tim naval guns and the artillery
made excellent practice, particularly
two five-inch guns used for the first time
with this force. We captured a Maxim
ana twenty-five prisoners. Our casualties
are very few only fifteen wounded, one
killed and three missing.
"The Jtrltish arrived here without op
iioaitlun. The Hours' last train left laet
Saturday night. The Uoer losses yester
day on the left flank were forty killed.
Their rear guard rumains behind kopjes,
ten miles distant. There is much rail
way forage and corn here. It is stated
that the Hoers ure retreating towards
Kroonetadt. The Zand river bridge is
reported to have been destroyed."
London, May 7. The capture of Win
burn by the British is continued and the
main advance on Pretoria continues. By
the occupation of Wiuburg, General Ian
Hamilton puts himself nearly parallel
with Lord Roberts and only twenty-nine
miles eastward, while he lias the ad
ditional advantage of being connected
willi his chief by means of tho railroad
that runs from Smaldeel or Wiuburg
road station, as it is sometimes called at
Wiuburg. Lord Roberts is now nine
miles north of the Vet and sixty-three
miles nut th of Bloom fontoin. Evidently
he is not letting grass grow under his
feet, though the Boers are equally
anxious to retreat towardB Kroonstadt,
and nro so doing.
The critics of the newspapers view the
situation with the greatest satisfaction.
A special dispatch from Smaldeel
dated 0 45 p. m , May 0, gives details of
the occupation of Wiuburg by the British.
It says .
"Tim news has just come here that
General Hamilton is giving the Boers no
rest and that they are falling back
hurriedly. He entered Wiuburg today
after u brisk fight, in which the Boers
'til hack so quickly that one of their
euns, in addition to a Maxim, was
abandoned. "
The name dlBpatch, describing the
crossing of tho Vet River by the British
says tiio lioor force, entrenched on the
"I'pusiio bank, prepared to contest the
crossing. Our guns were brought into
I'laco and a terrific shell fire was directed
on the H ut lines. At the same time tho
Queeiislanders, under a heavy fire,
unshed across tho river and, advancing
hi the open, completely turned tho Boer
rWit. It was dusk, but nothing Could
6loI the gallant Australians. They
pushed on again, seized a commanding
kopju mid by brllllunt movements and
continuous rifle fire, drove off the enemy
in tho darkness.
I'hu first gleam of doy this morning
nmnd tho enemy in full flight and our
en after them, and by 0 o'clock this
miming wo entered tho important strat
l'Kiu position.

Hepburn fur McKlnlej Uutuilng Mate
Los Axam.E.s, May 7. The Times of
this city, edited by Major-General H. G
Otis, editorially presents this morning
the name of Congressman Wm. P. Hep
burn, of Iowa, as a running mate for
William McKtnley, on the Republican
ticket. General Otis Iibb himself been
mentioned as a vice-presidential possl
bility. He is a warm personal friend of
President McKinley. The editorial says
"Mr. Hepburn isn veteran representa
tive in congress, with years of experience
and a good name; he is chairman of the
house committee on the Nicarauga
canal. He was the leader in achieving
the superb and far-reaching victory won
by the national Iioubo only last week,
when tl canal bill was passed.
"Mr. Hepburn has had a large and
powerful hand in tiie important initia
tory work ot pushing the canal bill
through the house of representatives
against all opposition ; he has proved
himself a slayer and statesman. Why,
then, is he not first-class timber for
vice-president?"

San Fuakuisco, May 7. The output
of oil in California lias increased from
1,245,123 barrels in 1895, to 2,21)2,123
barrels in 1809, The prospect is that
the outout lor the present year will be
much larger than that of 1899. California
now ranks fourth among the states in
the Union in petroleum production.
One significant feature of the oil dis
coveries in the stale is mat ttiey will
put California on an equality with other
states in the Union as far as the fuel
question goes. The estimate has been
made that threo and one-half barrels of
California petroleum are equal to one
ton of coal.

FRIEND OF
THE BOERS
Idler Wants the Senate to Rxtcnd Us
Sympathy.
Washington May 7.At todays ses
sion of the senate, Teller delievered i
speech, in which he strongly urged the
senate to extend its sympathy to the
Boers in the contest with the British.
The adoption of his resolution of sympa
thy, he maintained, could not be con
sidered as an unfriendly act by the
British government.
During the remainder of the session,
the senate had under consideration the
naval appropriation bill. Chandler's
amendment to curtail the increase of the
Marine Corps created some debate and
was finally laid on the table, 30 to 14.
The bill was not completed. Notice was
given that the armor-plate provision
would be considered in secret session, on
account of certain facta that were to be
called to the attention of the senate.
This was suspension day in the House,
and quite a number of bills were passed.
The inoBt important was the senate bill
to amend the general pension laws so as
to provide for aggregating disabilities
under the act of 18!(0 without regard to
service, and to increase the net income
a widow may have without destroying
her right to a pension from $96 to $250.
The purpose of the bill is to modify
rulings of the pension office in accordance
with the recommendations of the grand
army of the republic. It was passed
without a dissenting voice. The bill to
increase ttie appropriation tor the
National Guard from $400,000 to $1,000,-
000 also was among those passed. Sulzer
of New York attempted to secure action
upon his resolution expressing sympathy
with the Boers, but was cut off by the
speaker.
