BRITISH AIM GOES
STEADILY FORWARD
Movement Is Retarded by Destruction
of Railroad.
BOERS ARE DEMORALIZED
The >luchliir-Llkc Advance of Roberts
Strikes Terror Into Traiisvatilers'
Cumps?lloers to Mako Stand at
Zaand River.
London, May 8.?The following <lis
patch lias been received from Lord Roberts
at Smuuldcel:
"The railway from Braudfort U) this
place lias been considerably damaged
and the bridge over the Vet river has
been hopelessly wrecked. Tliis delays
applies coming up. Every few yards
charges of rackarock had been laid under
the rails. This would have created
aonie loss of life, but fortunately was
discovered by a West Australian infantryman.
Winburg has been occupied
by the Highland brigade."
In spite of these wrecked railroads the
British advance goes on steadily. Lord
Roberts'outposts are apparently about
12 miles north of Suiaaldeel. General
.tinman t lias joined General Handle at
Thnba N'Chu, whence they arc moving
forward. The country is all quiet in
that direction. A reconnoiss-uice made
by Creneral Bundle of the Boers' recent
positions at Thaba N'Chu resulted in
their being pronounced impregnable and
their evaeuation is rci>orted to have been
due to the receipt of an urgent request
from President Stevn. The 11 w?rs are
said to l>e moving northward, but their
immediate destination is not known.
The whereabouts of the British cavalry
under General French is still a mystery,
while General Kelly-Kenny and General
Cherms\de's columns are also uuuc.

Boors Arc 1'ttcrly l>ciuorali/.c?l.
A Cape Town dispatch says Lord Hoberts'
phenomenal ailvauce is not only
utterly demoralizing the Boers, but is
striking terror into the rebel circles.
The Cape Town correspondent is
slightly optimistic as regards Matching.
Judging from the direct dispatches the
British forces south of Mnfeking arc
still nearly 200 miles from the objective
point, while the latest advices from
Mafoking itself, dated April 20, show
little amelioration in the condition there.
The dispatch says that with the exception
of sliirht ritte tiro nf fill' .mtlvlnir
trenches everything is quiet.
The enemy's artillery with the exception
of two 5-pouiulers has apparently
withdrawn.
It was learned April *21 that theonemy
intended to attack. The entire garrison
stood to its arms. When the day broke
Colonel Baden-Powell took up a position
on the look out and the heavy rattle of
musketry and the boom of four gnus
convinced us that nil attack was about
to occur. But it became apparent that
the Boer officers could not persuade their
men to advance. Through glasses we
saw the officer vainly urging the infantry
forward. The enemy reformed and
retired. Our men fired a shot in the
hope of inducing the enemy to come to
close quarters.
After the bombardment April 27 all
was comparatively quiet.
Jloers to Make a Stand.
Smaai.dekl, May 8.?General Button's
advanced camp of the Colonial regiments
is tonight settled at Lodgelcgen
(Welgdcn) siding.
According to reports the Boers intend
to make a stand near Zaand river.
The engineers are busy making a do
vintion across the river.
A dispatch from Colonel Plummer's
camp states that the Boers around Matching
have been gradually reinforced and
their strength is estimated at .'5,000.
Colonel Plnmnior lias succeeded in
communicating with Mnfekingby menus
of carrier pigeons and is endeavoring to
comiuunicato with the southern relief
colum.
Plot to Assassinate Roberts.
London, May S.?The Standard hears
that information has been officially received
of a plot to assassinate Lord Roberts,
that the latter lias been warned
and that telegrams are now passing between
I he Cape nnthoritities, Lord Roberts
and the home authorities on the
subject.
AMERICAN FLAG HOISTED.
Ktiiroind Stripri Now Flout Over the
Inland of Tuliiliii.
Apckt.and, >7. Z., May 8.?Advices
received from Samoa announce that the
American flag has been hoisted over the
island of Tnlului amid native rejoicing
and that the natives have made a formal
concession of the island to the
United States. The inhabitants of
Manua, it is also announced, request the
formal hoisting of the American flag
over that island, which will likewise- be
ceded.
The natives of the islatid will i ale

TERRIFIC STORM AT PERU.

Santa Fe, (i miles south, flooding the
village. Earns, trees and fences were,
leveled and the full extent of the damage
has not yet been estimated. AIL
