Gen. Huller's turn ing of tho Uiggarsberg position was effected by a bold movement. Tho Hoers had evacuated Helpmakaar, but were making a stand Monday evening at Hlcskoplaagtc, seven miles from Dundee. The corps on tho spot regarded this as a rear guard action to cover tho retreat of the army. At the same time Gen. Hildyard took ludoba, and It is reported that the Hoers withdrew in disorder. Gen. Duller, who seems to bo em ploying his full strength, is expected to push on. His first marches were 10 miles in three days. Ho is thus breaking into llritish territory which had been administered for six months by tho Transvaalers as though it were part of tho republic, they hold ing courts and levying taxes. His success therefore has political as well as military coi. sequences. While Lord Roberts' infantry are concentrating at Kroonstad where they will rest for a day or two, his horsemen have penetrated 18 miles northward. In the squadron which eutv tho railway 15 miles beyond Ivrooustad was the American scout, Frederick llurnham. Two hundred Hocrs who had hidden in the river jungles near Kroonstad to escape service have surrendered to tho l'ritish and taken the oath of allegiance. According to a dispatcli from Hen net Hurlelgh to the Dally Telegraph, dated Thursday, May 10, Paul Hotlta and MacDouald, members of tho Free State volksraad, demanded that tho chairman should call a meeting to sue for peace, as further resistance was suicidal and proponed to make President Steyn a prisoner. Nothing definite lias been heard about the expected relief of Mnfc Icing. The Cape Town correspondents continue to wire that relief is immi nent, fixing Tuesday or Wednesday as probable dates. East of IMoemfontein Gen. Handle is advancing toward Lndybrand. His troops and those of den. Hrabant are stretched over a distance of ,'10 miles. The Poors are described as quite dis organized and as retreating north ward. President Steyn's lieutenants are trying to rally them. Tho same stories of disintegration come from nenrly every point whore the English correspondents are. DEWEY IN KNOXVILLE.

Tho parade consisted of two battal ion of cadets, veterans of tho union, confederate and Spanish-American army, fraternal and labor organiza tions, professional men and city ollieials. The admiral was delighted with tho novelties of the parade, consisting of the "Hrothorhood of Old Time Fiddlers," who fiddled as they passed in review, and "Young ltough Uiders." In the afternoon the admiral and Mrs. Dewey, accompanied by city officials, visited the school buildings. Patriotic songs were sung, flowers and souvenirs presented at each building and, as tho party drove away showers of roses fell into the admir al's carriage.
