BOERS ABANDON JOHANNESBURG. British Forces Are Rapidly Ad vancing Upon the Capital of Transvaal. ' . PRETORIA WILL SURRENDER. A Mad Rash for the Coast by Positives ' " . from the Capital Border Troubles Between the Boers and Porto gnese QoeriHa Warfare. By Cable to the Horning Star. - London, May 31,. 3 A. M. Yester day at noon the British were only about two hours' march from Pretoria, and the Boer military forces had aban doned the city. This intelligence comes from the Router agent at the Transvaal capital and from the Earl of Rosslyn, in a press dispatch. The two messages . left about the same time. Most of the London papers treat the war as ended, some of the more cau tiOUS critics think that cm Aril la. war Tare w likely to be carried on for some time in various parts of the conquered territories. Although the Boer forces are dissol ving, Lord Roberts, apparently,, has not yet taken any, considerable quan tity of artillery, arms or stores. Large bodies of Boers must still be some where in the field. Waterval Boven, or Waterfall Boven, is a small mountain place, one hundred and thirty miles due east of Pretoria, on the Delagoa Bay railway. The seat or the Boer government what is left of it will probably be Lyddenburg, to the north. A dispatch from Lorenzo -Marques, dated Wednesday says: "Commandant Kraus has surren dered Johannesburg to Lord Roberts. By to-night's train from Pretoria ar rived,. few Greeks, who say they were told to leave Pretoria Tuesday. - They affirm that the train in which they left was shelled by the British and that half of the train was cut off, - the remainder steaming away. This incident probably occurred at Elands fontein junction. - " ' 'Passengers from Pretoria assert that the town is utterly demoralizeLJTaere is a mad rush for the coast. ; Five train loads of fugitives are expected here to-night." The Lorenzo Marques correspond ed :s think the border troubles between the Transvaal and Portugal may come to a head at any moment. Komatti bridge is strongly ' defended. Yester day the Portuguese authorities were preparing to resist a possible engage ment. A mule battery was sent to the frontier. The Lorenzo Marques1 correspond ent of the Times says: "It would not be surprising if a large proportion of the rebel Dutch sought temporary refuge on Portuguese terri tory." , It is reported that a special train from Pretoria, with fugitives, was de railed on the Transvaal side of Ko matti Poort, a number of passengers being killed or injured. The British authorities at Buluwayo think the Boers will retire into South era Rhodesia. - By the release of the British prison ers at Waterval a full brigade will be added to the army of Lord Roberts, as. there were one hundred and seventy .1 seven officers and four thousand one and eighty-two privates among them.

The Daily Mail publishes the following dispatch from the Earl of Rosshn, who was a prisoner at Pretoria, but who, as a civ ilian, appears to have been released: ''Pretoria, May 80th, U: A. M.

Their action cannot be too highly praised. . "I was permitted to accompany the officers. Everything was qliiet." London, May 30. Any prolonged defence of Pretoria is considered highly improbable and many military men anticipate that General French will capture the - Transvaal capital within a day or two by a sudden and unexpected move.

By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Richmond, Va., May . 30. In the trial to-day at Lawrenceville of Rev. J. E. R. Kiddick, for the murder of Dr. William Temple, there was some sensationalestimony. The Common wealth brought out that after a conver sation Riddick had with his wife he expressed doubt whether he was justi fied in killing Temple. The defence put the aged father of the prisoner, a Methodist minister himself on the stand, and drew from him that in ebriety and lunacy were hereditary in the family, running back to witness' grandfather. He told of how the pris oner had at onetime fallen from the faith, and testified that on the advica at nnvmciHiu - una ui 111s i nihuwa i daughters had married to save herself from insanity. It was either that or an asylum. ' I A letter was read from Riddick to his wife and his mother, in which the prisoner claimed that God had influ enced him to kill Dr. Temple.
