(Sunday, 4:30 a. m.j.

"" Interest for the -moment center at' Dewejtsdorp and Wepener, where fighting evidently is m progress. A dispatch received Ironi Abwal North, dated April 21st, says that there was heavy firing on the pre vious day between Dewet&dorp i and Wepeher'ahd around Wepener on Sat urday, but that no particulars. had been received. A special from Maseru dated Saturday, says: 1 "The investment of Wepener con tinues. The Boers, seem determined to do their utmost to capture the gar rison before relief arrives. Severe fichtino1 anrwar imminent." The activity of the Boers at Elands Laagte apparently h". failed to draw General Duller, m that was its obicct into doing more than repel' the attack made on his advance post. j ' AN INDIGNANT PEOPLE. London, April 21. The British gov ernor of AshantiV Sir Frederick M Hodgson, stands in danger ot being ii't rflcreu and his rule swept out of re membrance; the United States is gen vrally considered on the brink- of war with Turkey; the Paris exposition has becn opened; Queen Victoria is re turning from her, remarkable visit to Ireland; yet "who circs?'- In Eng land there is only one topic, and that is Lord Roberts' Spionkop censures and their possible results.

It is probable, the government hopes, 'General Biiller will apply for his own recall, but this seems Unlikely to hap pen, and the country awaits angrily for action that all sections, of the pre s de clare mnt follow the extraordinary timid publication of Roberts stric tures.
