IN NATAL. ]

| | | SprcriAL DESPATCH TO THE EXAMINER.

Lowpoy, May 11.—All the news from Natal poiute clearly to a British move ' being in progress.

{ Undoubtedly the army will try to force | the pasees of the Drakeusburg.

Lonpon, May 11.—Lord Roberts’ an-

| RACE TO KROONSTADT.

{nouncement of the flight ofthe Boers | from Zand River naturally caused con- | siderable gratification at the War Odice | where it is now believed that he will not ‘allow the Federalsenough breathing space 'to reform southward of Kroonsiadt. It lia just possible that Roberts’ transport may be ina such condition that he will be able tokeep his troops moving so | rapidly as to drive the Boers right through | Kroonstadt without giving them time to | organize resistance in the formidable en- itrenchmente so carefully prepared at | Valech River.

The fact that General French and the cavalry have been brovght up to supple- ‘eiciod General Hutton’s Mounted Infantry | leads to the hope that the pursuit! anoounc- led by Lord Rober’s may fprevent all the

Boer guns and convoys from escaping.

OVER THE FIELD.

Loxpon, May 11, 4.95 a. m.—Members of the House of Commons were freely betting in the lobbies last evening that

'

j j

Lord Roberts would be in Pretoria in two months. The Ministerialists are building confident hopes upoa the comprehensive | plans he has communicated to the War) Office.

Predictions are definitely made that he will enter Kroonstadt next Monday and it is believed that his advance is probably already reconnoitering in the vicinity O¢ Ventersburg, where the hill country beging again.

From 15,000 to 30,000 is the highest estimate of the Boers under the personal command of General Botha who is eaid to have 46 guns.

General Botha and General Dewit are reported to have quarrelled.

Lord Roberts is pressing hard after this force with 65,000 men and 340 guns, and twenty thousand more men are easily available.

President Steyn with 10,060 men is re- ported to have been east of Thaba N’Che on Thursday at noon and a battle was then imminent.

The advance troopsof General Randle and General Brabant were being fired

upon. IN DIPLOMATIC CIRCLES.

Wasuinctox, May 11.—In diplomatic circles a rumor has been current that France has determined to offer Great Britain her good services, looking to the bringirg about of peace in South Africa.

It is said that France will couch an offer in such language that it can give no offence to England,—and a further rumor has it that President Kruger has indicat- ed his willingness to acknowledge the de« pendenceof the Transvaal,and will agree to such reforms as were demanded by the Englieh last year.

These rumors are traced to an attache of one of the foreign embassies who is in & position to kaow of what he speaks.

PREPARE FOR WAR.

i \Lord Salisbury’s Great

3 ef ore the Primrose League.

| Lord Salisbury, who presided, com: mented on the remarkabie change which

j had taken place in the latter half of the; . ; century in the views of the people regard- |

|ing the empire. They had formerly re- | |pelled it asa burden, and that doctrive had been carried to such an extent by men of splencid genius—Gladstone--that it ; bad produced a strong reaction which start«d after the disaster of Majuba Hill and the death of Gen. Gordon. The death of Gordon had been avenged. Perhaps it was too ¢00n to Say the great humiliation ,of Majuba had been effected or that the great wrong had _ been righted, but he felt they were on the road to ac» complizh that end. Under the brilliant guidance of Lord Roberts,200,000 soldiers, a larger army than had ever before been sent across the same expanse of sea, were now engaged in reducing to obedience to the Queen those territories which ought bever to have been released, and to re- | storing to South Africa the only chance it had of peace, development and tranquility. Hereafter exteroal affairs will occupy a covsiderably larger place among the pro- blems we have to solve. because in themselves they are important; | but if we look around we can see the ele. ment3 and causes of menace and peril | slowly accumulating, and they may ac- cumulate tosuch apoint as to frequire our earnest and most active effortsto re~ pel them. | “Cam nervous at ufing language of | such a kind, lest ix should be thought I } au indicating that something is known | to the foreign office by pointing out this | possible danger; but I wish most emphatic- ally, tosayl have po idea of that kind. The state of affairs as I know it, and eo far as the government is concerned, is peacetul. It is impossible to speak too | highly of the carefal, calm neutrality which have been observed by all the gov- ernments of the world.”

The premier’s remarks were greeted with loud cheers.

Continuing, Lord Salisbury said:

“A certain section of their sabjerts, not, I hope, a very large, though noisy one, has at the present moment a great pre- | judice egainst :his country. It does not, however, follow that we have wo precan- tions to take. Governments may come and go and feelinz8 may change from year to year. That root of bitterness against England, which I am unable to explain, may be mere caprice to satisfy the exigen - cies of journalists today or it may indi- cate a deep-seated feeling which later, we may have to reckon with. Therecan be no security no confidence in the feelings ot sympathy of other nations except } through the efficiency of their own defence and the strength of our own right arm. Everywhere the power of defence is in creasing, and who knows but ali these things may be united in one great wave to dash upon our shores?”

I'he premier then arged the necessity of precaution in time, remarking tbat the material for military aggression was year- ly increasing in power and efficiency among every one of the great nations, adding:

“In every race in history the great maritime power has been paralyzed, killed, not by disasters euffered in its provinces, but by a biow directed at the heart. ‘he British navy, of course, ought to be sufficient. But are we wise io placing all our eggs in one Laeket ?

**As vo land defence, so far as I can see, in the nature of conscription is rot a remedy the country is prepared to accept. Therefore we must induce the people to voluntarily put themselves in a position to defend their homes and country. The Primrose League can do much to foster the creation of rifle clubs. If once the feeling could be propagated that it ie the
