tho statement, that tho llritish

that the occupation will speedily bo ef

If not prisoners. However, it maybothat

London, March 13, Tuesday 4 :20 a. m.
Lord Roberts is making a vory rapid
advance and ho Is again misleading the
Boors by continuing to advance south
ward Instead of through tho flat coun
try due cast of Aasvogel Kop. Ho will
probably eleio tho railway south of
Blomfoutcln, and, although another
battlo is possible, it is more likely that
the B.ers are only endeavoring to delay
his advanco until all tho rolling stock of
the railway and tho store and troops
from tho Orungo river district can bo
gotten away. Tho Dully News quotes
Whltelaw Reid as saying In a private
letter.
"1 glvo you hearty congratulations on
the changed aspect of tho war. It is au
immense relief to us all, as well as to
you."
"This view," says tho Daily News,
"is welcome, as expressing with an un
usual measure of authority, tho enlight
ened public feeling in tho United
States."

assassination of Govornor Goobel, and by rumors among tho Republicans that tho
lustily organized militia of Governor Beckham was to attompt to tako possession
of tho stato buildings, or arrest Govornor Tavlor, and among Democrats that tho
stato militia would attompt to nrrost Govornor Beckham, died nway almost en
tirely when it becamo evident that nolthor stdo had any intention of Initiating
hostilities. Novortheloss, great unoaslnoss still exists, especially among tho Republicans.
