"The war Is practically over , " says
Lhe Daily Chronicle's Kroonstad cor
respondent , and In less definite terms
this Is the view to be gathered from
tin the correspondents.
They picture the Uoers as utterly
demoralized and disheartened by Lord
Roberts' unexpectedly rapid advance
tnid by his facile turnlrig of the care
fully prepared positions of the Boers.
There was practically no fighting
inrt there arc no further details to
? lvc respecting the occupation of
Kroonstad. The correspondent of the
Dally Telegraph says the union Jack
.vas hoisted in the market place by
Mrs. Lockhead , the Amcrlca.ii wife of

LONDON , IKay 12. A British col
umn , 3,000 strong , has arrived at Vry-
burg , 100 miles fiom Mafeking. It
reached there Thursday , and , though
Imrrasscd by the Boers , is pushing
swiftly forward. Fifty miles south of
Vryburg , at Laungs , is General Hun
ter's main body , moving slowly and
contending with considerable forces.
The pick of his mounted men are the
3,000 who are going without wheeled
transportation and at a rate that may
possibly bring them to Mafeking on
Monday or Tuesday.
Lord Roberts' narrative closes with
Thursday evening , but he continued
his march yesterday toward Kronstaad ,
twenty miles distant , and , by this time ,
ho must know whether the Boers In
tend to fight there.
Winston Churchill says there were
only 2,000 Boers who opposed the Brit
ish at Zand river. Another report is
that 0,000 Boeis with six guns made a
rear guard action , while many of their
thousands with convoys retired without
firing a shot.
President Steyn and a counsel of the
leaders of several thousand Free Stat
ers In the Ladybrand and Fricksburg
district determined to submit to the
men the question of continuing the war
or not at n great open air meeting.
The fighting men decided to fight on.
Steyn , who appears to be in active
command , began to advance toward
the British and came into contact on
Thursday with Campbell's brigade and
Brabant's horse twenty miles north-
cast of Thaba N'chu. A smart engage
ment ensued with no positive success
on either side , except that the Boer ad
vance was stopped.
General Rundle has disposed 10,000
infantry along a twenty mile front in
such a way as to bar a Boer advance
toward Lord Roberts' communications.
With the exception of General Bra
bant's colonials , General Rundle has
no horsemen. The cavalry are all with
Lord Roberts' atTvance.
According to a Pretoria telegram ,
General Buller is moving from Elands-
laagtc in the direction of Helpmaakar
and the British vanguard engaged n
Boer patrol of Italians on Thursday.
Twelve Italians are reported as routing
fifty British.
The dispatch also says that British
reconnoltering parties have Invaded
the Transvaalnear _ Fourteen Streams
and that the scouts on both sides meet
frequently with varying results.
Lord Roberts telegraphs to the war
office from Riet spruit , under date of
May 10 , evening , as follows :
"We have had a successful day and
have driven the enemy from point to
point. French , with Porter's and Dix-
on's brigades of cavalry and Hutton's
mounted Infantry , crossed the Zand at
Vermenten's kraal and then worked
around in n northeasterly direction to
Maatschaphy , being opposed continu
ously by the enemy. Pole-Carew's di
vision and Gordon's cavalry brigade ,
augmented by Battery J of the Royal
Horse artillery and by Henry's and
Ross' mounted infantry , crossed the
river by a drift near the railway
bridge. My quarters accompanied this
force. With the infantry portion we
are eight miles north of the river. The
cavalry and mounted Infantry are at
Ventersburg road station and Tucker's
division is at Deelfonteln Nord. Ian
Hamilton's force and Broadwood's cav
alry brigade were making for the cross
roads near Ventersburg when I last
heard from them. Hamilton's column
met with stubborn resistance for some
hours In protecting the rear flank of
his force.

The finishing blow came as a sud

His defense was absolutely perfect , and
while he was lacking in strength , he
had more than held his own and stood
an excellent chance of winning the
fight had It gone tne limit. He had
not been badly punished and had
managed to mark his man severely.
The winning punch was a shoit left
Jolt to the jaw. Corbett dropped like

clearly outboxed and at times made
to look like a novice. The crowd ,

Corbett , and his defeat fell upon n si

always said In this connection , that I
have not sought tlio olllco and made
no efforts to secure the nomination ,
but If the populists and the other three
parties think I am the most available
man I will accept. I had wished all
along that the Sioux Falls convention
should name a committee to meet com

City , out It looks as though my friends
at Sioux Falls did not consider that
the best course. "
"If there is n modification of the Chicago
cage financial plank at Kansas City on
the silver question , would you accept
the vice presidential nomination ? "
"I certainly would not if it approach

down from the plank of 180C. But
there will be no backdown ; the Chicago
cage plank will bo reaffirmed. "
