LONDON, May 26. 3 p. m. Tho War
ofllco Iiiih received thu following dispatch
from Lord HobcrtH:
"WOLEVK HOEK, Orange Frco State,
May 26. An advanced portion of thlB force
crossed tho Vaal river on the queen's birth
day, near I'arys. Hamilton's column Is at
Doschbank. Our hcouIh are now at Vlljocn's
drift (on tho frontier north of Wolove Hook).
Tho local mines aro uninjured and work 1
i;olng on as usual. Thcro Is no enemy this
bide of tho river.
"Hunter reached Vryburg May 21."
Ah anticipated, the llrHt news from Lord
Huberts after his long silence was the an
nouncement that tho Ilrltlsh hail crossed thu
Vaal river. This Is probably Oenernl Hut
ton's column, which crossed at I'arys, and
may bo expected to make a dash at the rall
load In tho neighborhood of Potchofstrooai.
-whence there Is direct communication with
Johnnntsburg.
Oenernl Hamilton's column Is at Bosch
bank, which is closo to the river, about
eight miles northwest of Wolcvo Hoek, Lord
Roberta' headquarters, and may be expected
to also cross the Vaal river and create n
diversion on tho Hank of any federal forco
In tho neighborhood of Verecnlnglng. Ah ho
has only about fifteen miles to traverse a
speedy announcement may be expected that
tho Ilrltlsh commander-in-chief himself has
gained a foothold In tho Transvaal and that
bo vvil. reach tho federal position south of
Johannesburg In the mlddlo ot tho coming
week.
Tho same secrecy which shrouded tho
movements of tho main army envelops Lord
Mcthucn's and Oencral Kundlo'B columns,
no probably tho. next olllclal dispatches will
nhow doclBlve movements of these wings.
Itunrtlo ought to be close to Hcthlohcm by
now, and the experts expect to hear of somo
decisive movement on tho Ilnrrlsmlth rail
road, In which part of General Bullcr's forco
will co-operate In tho direction of Van
Ilecnen's pass.
Should tho Pretoria bulletins announcing
tho reoccupatlon of Ilcllbron by tho fed
erals turn out to bo true, It will bo a totally
unexpected development, as Oeneral Ian
Hamilton occupied Ilcllbron Tuesday and
nothing has been heard from thero since.

UKHL1N, May 2fi. Interest this week has
centered on tho doings of tho Helchstag and
Diet and Prlnco Ludwig's speech.
It has long been murmured In court cir
cles nt Berlin and Munich thnt the rela
tions between tho two courts were seri
ously disturbed. A number of facts bore
this out. The prlnco regent's birthday Is no
longer kept hero by a special dinner nor Is
tho emperor's birthday kept in Munich,
whore It was even forbidden that tho gov
ernment and other public buildings display
tho German flag that day.
And during tho crown tirlnee's romlni. nf
ago iesuvitirs anil tho presence of the em
. i
peror of Austria hero, neither tho prlnco
regent of Bavurla nor tho heir to tho throno
of that country came to Berlin, only an In
significant prince being present. Nobody
seems ablo to tell exactly why this stnto of
feellnij exists on both sldm, but Prince Lud
wig's speech certainly shows his sentiment
Is moro autl-Prussian than over.
Not only tho North German press sides
against tho prince, but oven u large part nf
tho Bavarian novsspapcrs nnd several of tho
Munich papers nearest to tho Bavarian court.
Tho correspondent of tlin Assonliitml l P.R
learned today on good authority that tho
breach wan started by gosslpers at both
courts, who reported tinnleanant nttprnncM
said to have been mode at Munich about tho
emperor, nnd by the emperor about the
prlnco regent and family. Next tho canal
bill angered tho Bavarian patriots, Including
Prlnco Ludwlg, bocfluso It was looked upon
as u further attempt to Isolate Bavaria re-
gartung navigation, ojpeclally on tho Dan
ube. .Ment Hill Drfrnt for Kxlrenilstii,
Tho Imperial government still rejoices at
tho passage of, the moat Inspection bill, par
ticularly because of Its demonstrating that
tho extremo agrarians have not power tn
domlnto tho Relsrtmtag ,ns had been feared
hitherto. Tho agrarians had regarded tho
meat bill as serving as a test of their
strength. In thl sense tho passage of tho
meat bill was a defeat of the extremo agra
rians. This fact Is now pointed out by the
soml-ofllclal press. Dr, Mlquel'o Berliner
Polltlecho Nachrlchten calls this a reason
for congratulation.
Tho okitruxtlvo tnctlcs whereby the lex
helnzo was defeated toy tho minority are
now strongly disapproved by tho government
and Its press as being a two-edged swerd
which If R onco became an established In
Htltutlon. might easily lead to tho destruc
tion of German parliamentarism.
It has been nrranged that tho Helchstag
will begin Its vacations on tho 31st, reas
semble the 3d of Juno and ndjourn the lfith
of tho samo month until winter if nothing
Intorvenes. The Diet has already adjourned
until tho 7th of June.
Tho latest news from South Africa Is
generally Interpreted as showing that the
Boers are tired of the war nnd aro only
looking for n decent pretext to mnko peace.
Tho Kreuzo Zelung says:
"Drawing a parallel between the Boers
nnd tho nnclent Gcrmnns, where was thero
such a fight of desperation as that of the
Goths at Nalssus?"
lloerM Are Not So llrnve.
Tho paper adds: "Tho Boers do not
possess tho species of personal bravery
which In Ruropenn armies Is self-understood.
If this knowledge had obtnjned hero
sooner tho Boers would not havo enjoyed
such popularity."
Quick Jiibtlco Is being meted out to tho
ear strike rioters, Tho first batch was sen
tenced Monday to terms varying from six
weeks in Jail to u few days' Imprisonment
and another batch was sentenced today. A
third batch will be tried beforo a higher
