Sinks, of Troy, Ohio, says: "Some time ago I had a eeve attack of rheumatism in my arm and ehoulder. I tried numerous remedies, but got no relief until I was recommended by Messrs. Geo. F.

While Lord Roberts' 30,000 infantry, 20,000 horses and 150 guns are moving on Johannesburg and Pretoria, through a parched and deserted country, the situa tion at the Transvaal capital, as it was last Friday, is thus described by an observer, who Bent his message by private hand to Lourecco Marques yes terday : "The situation, both from a military and political point of view, has become very critical. President Kruger yester day admitted for the first time that matters are very grave. The Boer de termination is to trust everything to a last Bland on the GatBrand mountain, to the north of Potschefostroom, where 3000 Kaffirs are diL-cine trenches. To that point every available man and gun has been Bent. "The whole ot the western border of the Transvaal from end to end ia de- fensoless, and 'General Baden Powell can march in when be likes. Lord Roberts, on the other hand, will en counter the- greatest resistance.. The Boer endeavor is to lure the Britieh into appearing to threaten Johannesburg with attack, an excuse thus being given them for the destruction of property. The TranBvaal government will not dare destroy the mines and property without an excuse. Much dynamite ban been sent down the line, and 100,000 cases lie ready at Zuurfontein, near Johannes burg. "General Louis Botha and General Lucas Meier have pleaded for the pre servation of property. Both are lame lauded proprietors and fear confiscation, but they have not received satisfactory replies from President Kruger. "Meanwhile, many French and Ger man adventurers have come forward with schemes and inventions for blowing up the British troops, some of these havimr received a tacit permission to experi ment. One German invention is for the use on a railway, where it lies perfectly concealed until the weight of a passing train explodes the charge. "General Lucas Meier says surrender would be at once proponed by the Boers, but that everybody fears the ignominy of being the one to make the proposition. He declares that he is assured that his men will not stand. Piesldent Steyn and Mr. Reilz, the Transvaal state sec retary, are strongly oppused to peace, but Mr. Kruger is not bo much against it." President Kruger's proclamation to the burghees asking their vote for or against continuing the war is under stood to say they can quit now with the prospect of retaining their farms or con tinue to the bitter end. Rumors are current in Lord Roberts' army that the Boers intend to surrender. preunblo and report back to the assem bly before its adjournment. The mo tion was carried unanimously. (llurlnu Menu.
