SOUTH
Pretoria Mas FaUen==British Oc
cupy Transvaal Capital.
ToxpoN, June 5.—The war office lias
from Lord Roberts at Preto-
»\V(. are now in possession of Preto-
xhe official entry was 'made this
afternoon at 2 o’ciock. ”
j oXI „ ,v, June 5 —Almost eight months
a f t , r the declaration of war, Lord Rob-
has entered Pretoria. While the
commander-in-chief of the greatest army
* tif at Britain ever put in the field was
fulfilling the promise he made to the
uar j s at Bloemfontein, to lead them
into the capital of the Transvaal, Eng
land was celebrating the event with
wild enthusiasm. Throughout the length
breadth of the country the news
spread-
Based on the recollection of recent
Eurooeau wars, when the occupation of
the eie-iny’s capital signified the end of
hostilities, Lord Roberts’ terse telegram
W;1S jakeu to mean the practical finish
of th e war, which has tried Great firit-
nin’s military resources as they were
uover tried before.
In London, the Mansion House and
the war office almost instantaneously
berain ■ the centers for jubilant throngs,
piasts appeared as if by magic and traffic
hmfto be diverted through other streets.
Hadi ss and coatless men and boys ran
through the city alleys to see for them
selves the bulletins announcing the news
ami staying to join in the Sheers or add
their voices to the joyful throng singing
“God Save the Queen.” Hats hoisted
from thousands of heads were waved in
exultant hands and shimmered like a
coal bed in the sun. Ocher men on top
of omnibuses and aldermen from the
windows of the Mansion House en
couraged the crowds to still further
efforts.
The premature report of the fall of the
Boers' stronghold did not take the edge
off the celebration. Lord Roberts’ Six
Miles Spruit dispatch was hardly printed
by the “extras” before the union jack of
the war office was hauled, up and the
brief message was passed from mouth to
month “Pretoria is occupied.”
Those who had had a chance to read
Lord Roberts’ account of the resistance
encountered were at that moment com
menting on the probability of a fierce
fight before the city was occupied and
wondering at the Boers’ capabilities to
make such a determined stand when
Pretoria was hemmed in on all sides.
The pi\ ssure of General Prench north
of tae Boer capital came as a surprise
and explains Roberts’ telegram.
Goers Fight Desperately.
It was evident Lord Roberts delayed
attacking until all his columns were
ready to co-operate, but even when Lord
Roberts wired last night there seemed
some possibility of some fighting, so
when the next momentous dispatch was
given out it. came as a surprise.
Judging from Lord Roberts’ phrase
ology the occupation of Pretoria was not
accompanied by any loss of life. What
has happened to the Boer forces which
opposed the British can only be sur
mised. But it is presumable they have
got away for the present at any rate.
The latest dispatches from Pretoria,
dated June 3, quote General Botha as
saying: •
“So long as we can still count on onr
thousands of willing men we must not
talk of treaty or throwing away onr in
dependence.”
Botha, it is added, annulled the regu-
appointing a special committee
to preserve order, substituting military
control for that of the committee.
General Lucas Myer addressed the
burghers on the church square, urging
them all to stand fast. Although their
eftorts were pitifully futile, it is evident
that a few faithful Boer generals worked
desperately to resist the overwhelming
force of Lord Roberts’ army. The war
office has information that one of tho
first things done by Lord Roberts after
the occupation of Pretoria was to direct
General French to relieve the British
prisoners confined at Waterval.

STUDY OF NEGRO PROBLEM.
Leaders of the Race Discuss the Future
In Atlanta.
Atlanta, a lay 31.—The fifth annual
conference to study the negro problems,
which began its sessions at the Atlanta
university Tuesday evening, has ad
journed.
The general subject of this conference
was, “The Career of College Bred Ne
groes.”
The general subject discussed at the
final session was, “What College Bred
Negroes May Do.”
Robert Smith of Oakland, Tex., was
the only one of the speakers whose talk
was devoid of theory.
He said that the negroes of Oakland
had been taught that morality, and a
clean and well kept house and table were
intimately related.
He said that what he considered one
of the most important things he had ac
complished in his work among his peo
ple was the inculcation of the idea-that
the pantry was as necessary in a home
as any other room m the house. They
were learning that their salvation de
pended on themselves, and that if they
were sober, industrious and thrifty they
would succeed.as well as any other man.
President George Sales of the Atlanta
Baptist college made an address on
“What the College Bred Negro May Do
£u Philanthropy.”
He advocated college settlement work,
“Negro college graduates,” he said,
“must keep in touch and sympathy with
the lowliest of their race. If from his
college training he gains a contempt for
labor he is a failure. He must appreci
ate the dignity of labor.”
President 0. T. Meserve of Shaw uni
versity, Raleigh, spoke on the college
bred negro as a social leader.
He said that both in. the north and
south the trend of popular feeling was
strongly against the educated negro. He
advised the negroes to make friends of
the best white people of the south.
“For,” said he, “what the negro gets
must come to him through the toleration
of the white people of the south.”

Opposed to Gomez’ Plan.
Havana, June G.—All the political
parties, through their representative
newspapers, have pronounced against
the plan of General Maximo Gomez to
amalgamate the party organizatious.
Members of the cabinet say this scheme
is not feasible, as such au election would
not carry any official recognition from
the United States. More than this, they
assert that, an amalgamation is unnec
essary, as they have an assurance from
the United States-government that a
convention will be called as soon as pos
sible after the elections of all the may
ors to form a constitution, which will
be presented for ratification by the next
congress. Such a plan, they argue,
would make even the friends of Cuba
doubt their ability to peacefully govern
themselves. It is believed that the Go
mez party will be a minority in the
coming election.

Conferees Agreed Upon All Differences
Between Two Houses Except Nevada
Claim — Appropriation Bills Acted
Upon at Last Moment.
Washington, June 7.—The members
of both branches of congress looked tired
and wan as they reassembled for the
closing session after their arduous work
of yesterday and last night, house
meeting at 8 o’clock and the senate si
10 o’clock.
The senate held a short executive ses
sion at 11:30 o’clock, after which con
ference reports on the civil sundry ap
propriation bill, the naval academy and
the general deficiency bills were pre
sented and adopted.
The sundry civil bill was a complete
agreement except the item relati
Nevada claims. The naval coni is
were dead locked on the armor p' ite
provision. There was a complete agree
ment on the deficiency bill. The Mili
tary academy hill was passed and sent
to the president.
The usual routine business of the sen
ate was practically abandoned. Only
two or three new bills were presented.
Mr. Carter secured the passage of t
bill providing for the increase to $875,
000 of the limit of the building at He
leua, Mon.
Mr. Allison reported from the com
mittee on appropriations the house con
ference resolution providing for final
adjournment at 3 o’clock.
Sir. Hale presented a conference re
port on the naval appropriation bill. It
was a disagreement on all questions that
have been in dispute for three or four
days. Mr. Hale explained that the
armor plate question was the great
stumbling block to agreement.
Mr. Penrose then offered the follow-'
ing resolution:
“That the secretary of the navy id
hereby authorized to procure by contract
armor of the best quality for any or all
vessels above referred to, provided such
contracts can be made at a price
which is now, in its judgment, reas
onable and equitable, but in case
he is unable to make contracts for
armor under the above conditions, he is
hereby authorized and directed to pro
cure a site for and erect thereon a fac
tory for the manufacture of armor, aud
the sum of $4,000,000 is hereby appropri
ated for the erection of said factory.”
At 3 o’clock congress adjourned sinfl
die.
Question Answered.
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of us
ing anything else for indigestion or
biliousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard ol appendi
citis, nervous prostration, or heart
failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and
stop fermentation of indigested
food, regulate the action of the liver,
stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that is ail
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches.
You only need a few doses of

Brooks Station, Ga., June 2.—Moses
Holmes, a negro farm hand employed
by A. L. Nedy, who lives near here,
was shot and instantly killed by Elwell
Neely, the 18-year-old son of the farmer,

Washington, June 7.—A handful oi
members were on hand when the house
reassembled at 8 o’clock this morning
after being in recess for a few hours.
The conference report on the sundry
civil bill was then reported, showing the
item covering the claims of Nevada to

important items struck out were those
for the memorial bridge across the Po
tomac river; for a revenue cutter on the

investigate the alleged reprehensible
conduct of Mayor James G. Woodward
