krques correspondent of the Times, in
lispatch dated Satuiday, says:
rDnriup the week the Boers have sue-
lefully deceived even the best in-
loied residents with reference to the
bbahle course of events when Lord
Iberts entered the Transvaal. While
section declares that all serious
hting is ended, another is equally con
Iced that the burghers will make i

KMen who huve been present at the

PANIC IN THE
TRANSVAAL
Roberts is One Day's March From
Johannesburg Pretoria May Be
Abandoned.
LoNno.v, May 29, 3 a. m. Lord Rob
erta is now within a day's march of Jo
hannesburg and General French and
General Hamilton fought the Boers-from
noon until evening Monday, with what
result is not known here.
H. J. Wigam, in a dispatch to the
Daily Mail, dated Lourenco Marques,
May 28, says: "The demoralization of
the Transvaal is remarkable. Panic and
confusion prevail everywhere. Every
one is weary of the war and full of fear
as to the coming of the British. Opera
tions were being carried on for encircl
ing I'retO'ia with telegraphic com
munications. Fourteen points in the
line of defenses were connected with
headquarters and with the Staats
artillery, but this apparently was the
only defensive measure adopted. Tbere
were no other visible preparations.
"Around Johannesburg a few trenches
have been dug, but no other steps have !
been taken for defense. The railway line
is blocked with refuveeB from the west
and southwest, who are packed like ear
dines in trucks. The government is now
endeavoring to reassure the public by
telling them that the British will not
outrage and plunder them, but it is too
late. The previous misstatements are
bringing their rewards.
"Food ia very scarce, and prices rule
high. The proposal to release the British
prisoners of war ia due to this cause.

A rich congregation docs not need
to go to the poorest part of the city to

picnse, a nursery of genteel tramps
within its own borders, writes
Inn Maclnrcn, in Ladies' Home
Journal. When a minister nnd his
people have the reputntion of a
soft heart, and by that is often mennt
a soft head, the news spreadu far
and wide, and there is an immedinte
accession to the number of worship
ers. Tradespeople of the lower class
who wish to push their business andido
not feel sufficiently -confident nbout
the goods they sell; young men who
have lost their situations because they
wouldn't do their work; families of
women who would: consider it beneath
them to do anything for their own liv
ing and are adepts in what may be
railed genteel raiding; incapable men
of business whom no bank would trust
with fifty dollars, but who hope to get
a thousand by quoting the Sermon on
the Mount all these gather and sit
down within the sheltering walls of
the Christian asylum.
Sounda Ilcnrd In n Hnlloon.
Mr. J. M. liaeon, the Englishman, who
with his daughter made a lofty balloon
ascent to observe the meteor shower
last November, tells some interesting
tilings about the sounds that reached
their ears. At the height of 5,000-feet
the ringing of horses' feet on a hard
road could be heard. At 4.C00 feet the
splashing sound made by ducks in a
pond wasnudible. The barking of dogs
aud the crowing of cocks could be heard
at 7,0COor 8.000 feet. These sounds pen
strated through a white floor of cloud
which hid the earth from sight. In
tile perfect silence of the air around
the balloon they were startled by what
seemed stealthy footsteps close at hand.
Investigation showed that this sound
was caused by the stretching of the
ropes and the yielding of the silk as

"One form of infernal machine, which
meets with much approval, is to be laid

rible effect. Many of these machines
are being made at the arsenal, and great
caution will have to he employed in neu
tralizing them.
"There has been a decided change in
public opinion, which has become quite
English. The burghers on command
sing 'God Save the Queen,' and they
cannot be stopped. All are sick of war
fare. In the towns the rabid anti-English
are less rampant. People are thinking
of their property. The party eager for
surrender is now very influential, and
includes the political leadeia in the front.
The intelligent public feel that the game
is up. False news no longer has any
effect, and the lying reports of the news
papers are universally disbelieved. Al
though the bund of the censor baa been
very heavy on news of all kind8 recently,
every one believes the worst.
