LORD ROBERTS MEETS 80T1SN Lo Idle liis line < nos, June 13.—After a week’s si- I. ,nl Roberts lias been heard from, f communications having been 1 bv a complete victory gained by tiem-rals Methuen and Kitchener over rdl Dewefct at the Rheinoster river. lh. Goer camp was captured and the Ripiiers, it is added, were scattered in all directions. Lord Roberts, on being 31 ,.i!ied of the cutting of his line of com- iiniin 1 -a tious sent Kitchener to join Me- tliueii. 1, ril Roberts attacked General Botha, avSio was in strong force 15 miles south 0 f Pretoria, Jane 11. After strenuous imposition the British forces gained con- sidcraiile ground, but General Botha, whi n Lord Roberts left the field, was still undefeated. All is quiet at Pretoria and Johannes- bnra. and Lord Roberts says the govern- Dient- need have no apprehension about tin security of tlie army in South Af rica, as it will not take long to remedy the reverses and repair the railroad. A lengthy dispatch has been received by the war office from Lord Roberts which reads as follows: • Disposition of the Forces. “After surrendering tlie city Botha retired to a place about 15 miles east on tlie Middleburg road. He had a small force at first, but during the last few days his numbers increased and his being so near the town kept up the ex citement in the country, prevented the burghers from laying down their arms and interfered with the collection of supplies. It therefore became necessary to attack him. This I did. He held a very strong position, practically unas sailable in front, which enabled him to place the main portion of his troops on his flanks, which he knew from former experiences were his vulnerable parts. I sent French’s infantry and Dickson’s cavalry brigade and Hutton’s mounted infantry round by our left and Ian Hamilton, with Broadwood and Gor don's cavalry brigade, Ridley’s mounted infantry and Bruce Hamilton’s infantry brigade round our right. Both columns met with great opposition. At about 3 in the afternoon I saw two of Hamil ton's infantry battalions advancing to what appeared to be the key of the ene my's defense on their left flank. This was almost gained before dark and I or dered the force to bivouac on the grouud they had won. “Pole-Carew, with his division, occu pied our left. “As 1 have explained, he could not attack, but be gradually advanced so as to support Ian Hamilton, and when I left the field he was on the line held by the enemy’s outposts in the morning. • ■ i hurried hack to get the news of Methuen’s movement. On hearing that Free Staters had taken advantage of our crossing the Yaal to interrupt our line of communication I sent Kitchener with such troops as I could then spare to Verdofort with orders to push through ami communicate with Methuen, who I knew had a very compact force in the vicinity of Heilbron. Methuen Defeats Deivett. “I also dspatched a special messenger to Methuen, instructing him to push on ar all speed to the main line of railroad. These two officers met at Yredefort on the ev ening of June 10. They marched to Rheinoster river, where Methuen gained a compfete victory over Dewett and took possession of his camp and scattered his troops in aii directions. He and Kitchener then marched toward Kroonstadt. “The enemy gained a slight success which was unfortunate, hut will be remedied very shortly, and it will not take long to remedy the damage done to the railway. As these diversions are all m existence I am now able to hold the hue between this and Rheinoster in strengch. “Our losses were not, I trust, serious, but I deplore the death of that gallant soldier, the Earl of Airlie. Other cas ualties are: “Seventeenth Lancers — Major the H“ii. Lionel Fortescue and Lieutenant the Hon. C. Cavendish, both killed.” The result of the battle between Lord Roberts’ forces and those of General hotha is eagerly awaited here, but it is believed the Boer commander will only complete bis retirement, which beseems to have already commenced, though then- is some hope in London that Lord Roberts will he able to surround him. A dispatch from Joubert’s farm an nounces the continuation of Buller’s successful laarch, the occupation of ' olksrust without opposition and the capture of a number of prisoners, while ie Boer casualties are reported to hava been very heavy.

Prolonged Session of Supreme Court Causes Comment. Raleigh, June 13.—There is a great deal of talk among Democrats regarding the prolonged session of the supreme court and the fact that since it stopped hearing arguments it has actually filed fewer opinions than it did previously. The session is the longest in the history of the state. It now appears that it will extend beyond the time fixed for the legislative session. There is no hesitation in saying that this delay is for a purpose and the Dem ocratic members of the legislature say they will not adjourn sine die so long as the court is in session. It is said further that if time permitted the court would be impeached for usurpation of the pow ers delegated to the legislature. The majority of the court is Republican, that of the legislature Democratic. It is known to the Democrats that the Re publicans’ and Populists’ plan js to se cure injunctions to interfere with the operations of the new election law, and they will this week so complete that law as to checkmate any court from tying it up. __ SAMPSON GETS PRIZE MONEY Award Is Made For the Destruction of Cervera’s Fleet. Washington, June 13.—The United States court of claims has passed upon the suit of Admiral W. T.

Man and Woman Arrested by Atlanta Detectives. Atlanta, June 13.—Lewis S. Jervey, a young white man, and a Mrs. Mary Martin nave been arrested and placed in the tower pending an investigation of charges of selling postage stamps in large quantities in this city. Last fall the postoffice and Red Oak and East Point, two suburban towns close to Atlanta, were robbed, and the fact that Lewis Jervey has been caught with a large quantity of stamps in his possession and gave a large lot to the Martin woman to sell, leads the detec tives to believe that Jervey may have been in some way implicated in the rob beries, and if not, that he may know a great deal about the matter. Jervey gives no satisfactory account of how he came in possession of the stamps. NEGRO THIEF IS CAPTURED. A Word £ fr. Suffering Women. No one but yourselves know of the Suffering you go through.

The next day he died. Two men holding such positions as those held by the callers would not have risked contracting yellow fever for any light reasons, so the signature and docu ment must have been a very important matter.
