BRITISH ARMY
ENTERS PRETORIA
Huberts' first Order Alter Reaching the
City, Was For the Release of the
Prisoners.
Lon'iios', Juno 5. Tlio wiu oflico lni8
issued the following dispatch from Lord
IiotmrtH :
"I'rotorla, Juno 5. 11 :40 a. in. Wo
are now in possession of Pretoria. Tho
official ontry will bo mudo this afternoon
t 2 o'clock.
London', Juno 5. At li o'clock thin af
ternoon, eight months after tho declara
tion of war, Lord Roberts entered
Pretoria. While tho commander-in-chief
of the greatest army Great Britain ever
put in tho Hold was fullilling tho promise
lie iiuulo to the guards ut Bloomfontein,
to lend thorn into tho capital of the
Transvaal, Etiglund wub eolobrating the
event with wild onttiiiHiusm.
Ttiroughout the length and breadth of
the country tho nows spread liko wildfire.
Based on tho recollection that in recent
European wars, tho occupation of the
enemy's capital signified the end of
hostilities, Roberts' terso telegram was
taken univerBiully to mean tho practical
fiiiiHh of tho war Which has tried Great
Britain's military resources us they
never were tried before.
In London tho Munition House and tho
war oflico almost instantaneously bo
came tlio centers for jubilaut throngs.
Flags appeared as if by magic and tho
tratlice had to be diverted through other
HtreutH. Hatless and coatless men und
buyH run through the city alleys to see
for themselves tho bulletins announcing
the good news, and staying to join in the
thunder of clieerB or add their voices to
the joyful throngs singing "God Save
the (Jut-en. "
Huts hoisted from thousands of heads
were waved in exultant hands. Old men
on tup of the omnibuses and aldermen
from the windows of the Mansion House
encouraged thu crowds to ettll greater
ell'irts. Tlio premature report of the
full of the Boors' stronghold did not seem
to have taken tho edge oil the day'o
ceiebratlon.
UobeitH' Six Miles Spruit dispatch
wan hastily printed by tho "Kxtratj" be
fore the Union Jack of the war office was
hauled up tho flagstufl' and tho brief
liifHHiign was pnsBed from mouth to
mouth, "Pretoria is occupied." Those
who had had a ohiince to read Roberts'
account of thu resistance encountered
vcHterduy were at the moment, com
menting on the probability of a llo'co
light before thu city was occupied, end
were wondering at tlio Boers' capabil
ities to iniiko such a determined stand
whin Pretoria was hemmed in on all
Billed.
The presence of General French north
of tho Boor capital, came as a surprise
and explained thu commander in chief 'a
retiiever dispatch aneut the position of
the energutlc cavalry leader. It was
evident timt Koberts had delayed at
tacking until all his column was ready
to co-operate, but even when Roberts
wied last night that this was ac
I'Qiuplished, there seemed a possibility
of some lighting, su when the next dis
patch Was given out it came as a surprise.
lodging from Roberts phraseology tho
occupation of Pretoria was not occom
pllnhed by any great loss of life. What
him happened to tho Boer forces which
so uiHlHtenlly opposed tho British ad
vance ut Six Miles Spruit can only bo
HUi inihod, 'out presumably they have got
awry for tho present ut any rate.
The hiicHt. iHHtmteliPH from a represent
ative of thu AHHi-.niiitnd PreHH at Pretoria.
dated June 3, quoted Generul Botha as
saying's
"Kn Inmr no ujm nan ttt.lll nnilllt Oil OUT
thoiiHuiids of willing men, we must not
uream of retreat or throwing Wy our
lIKlenendnnmi."
General Botha, it la added, annulled
tiie regulations annointlng a special com
nilttee to preserve order, substituting
military control for that of tho coruailt
te, General Lucas Mover, addressing
thu burghers on the square, urged thorn
to all stand fst. Thus, though their
silbrts were (utile, It is evident a (ew
faithful Boer generals worked desperate-
ly to resist tlio overwhelming force of
Roberts' army.
The war oflico lms information that
one of tho first things dono by Roberta
alter tho occupation of Pretoria was to
direct General French to relieve the
British prisoners confined at Walcrval.

arrived heie thiB morning, and were im
mediately taken In charge by a re
ception committee, headed by Mayor
Harrison, and conducted to the Audi
torium Hotel. The delegates received
the news of the fall of Pretoria calmly,
Mr. Fifcher remaikhi": "The news
does not como as a surprise. The fight
ing will continue." Mr. Weasels said
that the full of the Transvaal capital
meant there would no longer be organized
resistance on a large scale to Lord Rob
erts, but from now on, the burghers
would pursue gnerilal tactics.

HIS COURSE
IS COMMENDED
Majority Report in the Wardncr Inves
tigation Stcunenberg Commended,
and the Citizens Congratulated.
Washington,. June 5. Report of the
committee on military affairs, which
conducted the exhaustive investigation
of the Cieur d'Alene labor agitations
and its excitine Incidents, was submitted
today, having been first approved by a
majority vote of tho committee, the mi
nority favorable sub report, which has
already appeared. This report says :
"First, tho governor of Idaho, in his
efforts to establish order and enforce the
laws of the state, is to be commended
for his courage and fearlessness. The
blind hatred excited by a mob, the con
sequent disobedience of the public, and
the reign of lawlessness are in a fair way
to ba adjusted. The citizens of Idaho
are to be congratulated on tne removal
of tho dangerous cancer that bad long
threatened the peace and order of the
state. Better ideas prevail as to the
rights and duties of men in relation to
the preservation of society, and this iin
proved coudition of affairs is in a great
measure due to the conduct of the gov
ernor of that stato.
"Second, the conduct of the military
in the territory from May 2d to the
present, amid the disturbing elements
of the Cceur d'Alene, when fierce pas
sions, flames unchecked, when no hand
was raised to Btay the dynamiter and
murderer, where the mob had been su
preme, is a matter of earnest congratu
lation to the country."
tatruck the Keynote,
Washington, June 6. The republi
cans in both bouses and the administra
tion are rejoicing tonight at the Eignal
victory won for the party in Oregon. The
democrats are especially disheartened,
and are trying to gather some comfort
out of the result in Multnomah county
where it appetite the republican legis-
loiivA tlrltHt u-iiH not successful. But
when the circumstances are explained,
tliev pee little hope, as the great majority
for Moody aud Tongue, and the fact that
tho state outside of Multnomah county,
is overwhelmingly republican, means
that the republican administration, ex
find the nold standard are
endorsed.
This briefly summarizes the expression
ot many republican Benators and repre
sentatives who have discussed the mat
i, imtnv. Snnator l'oraker even took
occasion to call attention in his speech
on Pettiirew. to the great Oregon vie
torv. It ia believed by all republicans
to be the keynote of the coming cam-
tmiiMi. und that it insures beyond all
question republican success all over tho
United States.
Ttiu Orojon representatives have been
congratulated upon the result, as they
are tho first republicans to be elected,
and it is believed that the West will
f, ill MY' tllO v,iln of Oregon, and elect
republicans everywhere.

T.OVHON. June 0, midnight. Lord
Roberta leporta to the war office that
the Thirteenth battalion ol tuo unpens
Yeomanry (Irish) was "overwhelmed
bv tho Boers at Lindsley." Lord
Methuen made a "magnificent march to
their rescue." but was too late. Follow
ing is the text of the dispatch from Lord
Roberts announcing the disaster:
"Pretoria Station, Juno 5, 12:55 p. m.
I reuret to report that the Thirteenth
Imperial Yeomanry had to surrender to
a superior force of the enemy on May 31,
near Lindley. On receiving Information
of the battalion being attacked, I ordered
Methuen to proceed with all speed to its
assistance. Methuen was then on the
march, on the Heilbron side of Kroon-
Btad. and half an hoar after the receint
of my telegram on June 1 he started off.
By 10 a. m., of the following day ho had
marched forty-four miles in twenty-five
hours, but he was too late to rescue
Colonel Sprage'a Yeomanry. Methuen
attacked tbe Boers, who were between
2000 and 3000 strong, and after a running
fight of five hours, completely routed
the enemy.
"It is a very regrettable circumstance,
but I trust it .will not be very long be
fore the Irish Yeomanry are released
from captivity."
