think a policy of 'anti-militarism' at di
rect variance with one of meddlesome
activity with thu affairs of a foreign
nation in a matter which does not in any
way directly eotii.urn our own interests,
anil that in a munition like that now
existing in South Africa, thu expression
of sympathy, when nothing but men
and guns will stop England, in like v-
ing n stone when bread in asked, and
they are likely of the opinion that quite
probably ihu great nations of Europe
tuny have a Monroe Doctrine of their
own secreted up some unexpected sleeve,

This is probably the opinion of the

WAR CANNOT LAST

Nek Arc Exjiccted to He the Last
Fight's ot the .Struggle lietween Boer
and liriton.
New Yokic, May 25. A dlspntch from
London to (lie Ttittutie, pave: The re
treat of ilotha's forces from the Khenoster
to the Yaal turves to convince military
men that the end of tliu war is rapidly
drawing near. This is, without doubt,
the odicial view, although nobody con
nected with either the war office or the
headquarters stall" is willing to be quoted
to that eflVct.
The chile for the occupation of Pretoria,
which is usually named among officers,
is .lime It is assumed among ' them
that I here will be no delay either in the
passage of t tie Vaal or in the occupation
of Johannesburg, since General Roberts
can turn the lioers out of every defensive
pobition which they may attempt to hold.
They expect to seethe Britieh flai; flying
over Johannesburg by iheend'of another
week, and Pretoria under beige early in
.hi no.
General UoliertB himself has been too
wary to make any forecaets respecting
the duration of hostilities. The officials
may have reasons of their own for con
cluding that thero will be peace at thu
end of threu weeks, but they are not
neglecting to send out reinforcements
from England: Fvery week witnesses
the movement of fresli levies and details
for strengthening the battalions and
cavalry cquadrons at the seat of war.
Another matter w'hkh is discussed is
discussed in official circles with increas
ing interest, is the Dutch responsibilities.
South Africans aro not agreed upon the
financial aspects of the problem and
upon the most practical method of dis
tributing the burdens of a costly war on
the basis of population. Laud taxes
I i vied upon the Hours will yield little,
when they are improvished, and the
only adequate resource for the payment
of a largu indemnity is the mining
turritory of the linnd.

McKinlcy
New Yokk, Mav 25 A Bpecial to the
Herald from Washington says: Not
withstanding the declaration of the presi
dent that the United States will not
interfere in the South African war, the
Hour commissioners expect that political
expediency will cause him to make a
move which will be beneficial to their
catiBe. It is apparent to the commission-
ers that political agitation alone will aid I
their cause, and they intend to take j
advantage of every opportunity to press j
it upon the attention of the American'
people.
It will be Ur! earnest effort of the
South African sympathizers in the
United States to make the failure of the
president to act in the interest of peace
one of the prominent issues of the cam
paign. Tho West is reported wrought
up over the refusal of the president to
intervene, and it is proposed to keep the
discontent alive. Should Bryan be
elected, the fact that the president-elect
of the United States has made a declara
tion of his intentions to take measures
to stop the war will have the elled, it is
believed, of causing ttie British to be
more lenient in the terms they will
propose.
An official of thu administration, who
in close to the president, said the policy
which had been adopted had been care
fully considered, aud there would be no
deviation fromjit, no matter how great
might be the pressure applied by demo
cratic politicians. Unless Great Britain
should require it, this official said, the
president would probably refuse to even
aid the Transvaal to get terms of peace
more lenient than those which the Brit
ish would impose, provided President
Kruger should oiler to surrender.

Vaal
Left ' South of the
River.
Losno.v, May 26. 3:30 a. m. Thu
latest intelligence from Lord Roberts'
headquarters at Vredefott station, filed
Thursday, 5:45 p. ni., was that the
British were rapidly advancing. General
Hamilton had effected a junction with
Lord Roberts. The country in front of
them was clear of Boers to Viljoen's
Drift. The Boets were evacuating all
their positions south of te Vaal river,
and 5000 had already crossed the north
bank. Probably General French's cavalry
is already reconnoiierini: the fords of
the Vaal. War office observers expect
that ttie next dispatch from the field
marshal will be dated "In sight of the
Transvaal frontier."
Bennett Burleigh, wiring to the Daily
Telegraph from Vredefort, Thursday
morning, said Lord Roberts would
doubtless cross the Vaal river Saturday
or Sunday. The British outp sts were
then at ErMe Geluk, twenty six miles
south of t he Vaal river. The railway is
much damaged.
While t tie British, in overwhelming
force, are thus rapidly approaching the
Transvaal, the movtnients of the Boers
were enveloped in mystery. The last
Pretoria newspaper to reach Lourenco
Marques was a week old. Every oue
seeking to cross the Portuguese border
from tbe Transvaal is searched for news
papers aud letters. Dispatches and mail
letters containing even harmless refer
ences to the war are suppressed.
The only news that lias emeiged from
tlie Transvvaiil duiing the last ten davs
has come by way of mouth. According
to these oral reports, yesterday, the
Boers werequarreling among themselves.
Ttansvaal paper money was circulating
at 80 per cent discount. Breket's firm
was giving XI in gold for o in paper.
Krouz and Klinke, the engineers who
opposed the Plowing up of thu mine-,
have been dii-mi8-t?il. Commandant
Schuttee ha been appointed to defend
Johannesburg, aud ad the British suh-
jfctw have hem turned out. The Trans
vaalers fear that l tie Britieh will blow
up the bridge at Komalipoort, thus
cutting oil' their i-upplies from Delagoa
bay, aud a commondo of 500 is ginidiug
the bridge against any sueii attempt by
British raiders.
