INTEREST IN MAFEKING Duller Reports Defeat of Doers lu Natal?Sunday Klver Hat tie?Free Staters Surrender?Steyu's lirothor Gives t'p Ills Arms. London, May 15.?The war oflice bos furnished tardy confirmation of General Buller's niovement on the Biggarsburg in a dispatch from General Buller at Kemp's Farm as follows: "In accordance with instructions to keep the enemy occupied at Biggarsburg ou May 11,1 concentrated the Third cavalry brigade of the Second division | and some corps of artillery at Sunday's riTer drift on the Holpnmukr road and directed Colonel Bethuen to advance on Greytown with the Bethuen mounted infantry, the Univoti mounted rifles and the Imperial Light infantry. On May 1# we moved to Wasehbank and Bethuen, with General Hildyard from Klandslnngte, occupied Indoga mountain. "On May 1 ') I sent General Hamilton with three battalions up the stoop slope of Witlioek hill. The Third cavalry brigade crowned a hill oil each side of the main road and Bethuen attacked by the Poineruy road from three sides. The enemy hurriedly abandoned the position which they bad strongly entrenched and retired to the nek in front of Helpmaakr, whence we hope to dislodge them, as many of them have retired. We have gained the .summit of the Berg with the loss of only n few men wounded. I am advancing on Bcith and Hildynrd moves on Wessel's nelt. "Our small loss, I think, was certainly duo to the excellent troop leading of General Hamilton and Lord Dundonold and Colonel Bet linen." A second dispatch says: "The enemy evacuated Helpuiaakr Nek during the night, leaving a rear guard of about 1,000 men in front of us. These we have forced back throughout the day under considerable dilliculties, as tl.ey tired all the grass on top of the berg as they retreated, and the wind being unfavorable to us, we were scarcely able to see at all. I halted the infantry who marched very well through the hot moke at Beith. "We have taken a few prisoners. Our casualties are small." A third dispatch says: "Dundonald reported late last niplit he had driven tin- rear guard on to tho | main body of the enemy, near Bnraltnden, where they occupied in forco a strong position with three powerful gins. Major Gough, with the composite regiment, maneuvered to the rignt around their left llank and they retired. Dundonald then halted. He was 23 miles as the crow flies from his previous night's bivouac anil had covered nearly 40 miles during the day in a waterless country, most of the time being through moke. From prisoners I learn that the nemy numbered over 2,000 at Helpmaakr and heinc Soiiied l?v t-li<?u> loft Van Jointers puss they must tutul nearly .*1,00:) men. "HeldypiW reports the oocapntion of Wassals Nek unci repairing the line." Interest Centers In Mul'ckln . Judging from the sihove dispatches the British advance is little more than an arduous march. The Boers who were active ut lirst later appear to havo shown the same readiness to retreat I which is now marking the movements of the federals in the Fro a State. Apparently the burghers tiro about to vaeuate Nurul and concentrate for the defense of Luing's Nek, mxrthward, and Van Reennn's jkiss, westward. The reoccnpation of Dundee by the British places the coal supplies there in their hands. There is little news of a definite character. Interest for the moment is almost entirely centered in Mafekiug, whence tlie wife of tlie mayor has received a cablegram setting forth that all was well on May 1.

After considerable* | rontinn business D. .T. Iladley of New I Jersey introduced a resolution whicli re- I suited in an uproar. It was that "the ' British colors be given a place along-ide the stars and stripes on the platform of ; this convention." A storm of "noes" I went up from tlio delegates when the ! resolution was read, hut Dr. Hartley ! finally secured silence anel nuirlo a pus- j sionato apiieal for the resolution.

The American and the llriton have locked arms to close the century with one united clfort to destroy the crescent and lift the cross in the east. Dr. Iladley for the moment apparently turned the tide in favor of the resolution, lnit some delegates had spjkcn against it and the motion to lay on the table prevailed.
