The war office has issued the following from Lord Roberts, dated Bloemfontein, April 25, 8:25 p. m.i ''The enemy retired from in front of We pener last night and .this morning fled northeastward along, the Ladybrand toad. Their number was between 4,000 and 5.000." V 1 ., ! , i Boers Beoooupy Boshof ; London, April 26.

Only 'One Chance of Escape to the Boers.7 i London, April 25, 5 a. m. The reports that the siege of Wepener bad been prac tically raised were apparently prema ture. The Boer attack upon Colonel Dalghety 's northern, position, as" de scribed from Maseru, was probably a final attempt to rush the garrison before securing a safe retreat, and as Col, Dal ghety successfully repulsed the attack, little further anxiety is felt on his ac count. ' ' - k -' Lord Roberts has no w spread a . net, with some 40,000 or more men and 150 guns, coveringthe whole western semi circle around Wepener, while Gen.: - Ham ilton has occupied the waterworks, prac tically without opposition. Che Sev enth division, under Gen. Tucker, as sisted by naval guns, has made a demon stration from Karee siding, the Boers showing some opposition. At the same time a brigade moved out from Glen to take up a position on a range of hills be tween Geandesala.n'oilho('tlielH)d- deri:Y;"vv.:Pl.v.:v-V-vvW v y': -' The Boers now can only escape, with, out risking an encounter, northward to Ladybrand, and the chance of a success ful outcome of the plans of Lord Roberts dependaon whether the- British troops can reach Thaba N'Chu and Ladybrand before the retreating commandoes from Dewetsdorp ana Wepener, ' ' All the correspondents report that the roads are in a terrible condition, which accounts for the slow progress of the British, and "if the Boers are as well' in formed of the British plans as they have hitherto been, they are likely to again escape. It is now within three weeks of the date predicted for the British occupation of Pretoria, and although the present op erations, as suggested in some quarters, may be the beginning of the ' main ad vance, it is not certain that they will not entail a further halt at Bloemfontein. . " r WILL NEVER YIELD. Capt." Leon, the Wounded French "5 Engineer,' Reaches Paris And f Give His Views. ;f .Hf l-v ' Paris, April 24. Capt. Leon, the French engineer who had charge of the Boer ar tillery and engineers, and who waa shot in the bead during the siege -of Kimter ley, arrived at Marseilles today. In an interview he described the Boers as "splendid artillerists." He said they never had more than from 36,000 to 40, 000 men under arms, and with these they had lost , only 6,000, of whom onlv 600 had been killed, t "In my opinion said Capt.'Leon, "unless the Boers win an independent victory near Bloemfon tein, they must be beaten in the end, and although . Pretoria could withstand a long feifge, because it still possesses can non and emplacements for those tempo rarily withdrawn. I believe the plan of the Boers is to take refuge in the moun tainous region to the north which is practically Inaccessible, rather than to defend Pretoria, at the risk of a heavy loss of life and the exposure' of the popu lation to the fire of the British. Even when Great Britain declares the Trans vaal annexed, the Boers will never yield, and an army of 150,000 will be needed to occupy the country." - Does it Pay to Buy Cheap? A cheap remedy for coughs and colds is all right, but you want something that will relieve and cure the more severe and dangerous results of throat and lung troubles. What shall yon do? Go to a warmer and more n gular climate? Yes, if possible; if not pot-sible for you, then in either case take the only remedy that has teen introduced in all civilized coun tries with euecps in severe throat tnd lung troubles, "Boschee'a Germ an Syrup." It not only heals and stimulates ihe tis sues to destroy the g?rm doase, but allays inflammation, cau?es ea?y expec toration, pires a food c! rht's r t, and cure the j-atlrt. TryovEbot'ie.

The Kinston lodge Odd Fellows, No. 174, held a rennion . last night in commemoration of the 81st anuiversary of the founding of the lodge in America. It waa much of a surprise to most of thos in attendance, as quite' so elabo rate affair bad not been anticipated. The lodge room was beautifully ar ranged. , Chairs circled the sides of the room; the electric lights were decorated with varied colors of crepe paper; four long tables, bountifully ladou with sub stantial and dainty eatables and taste fully arranged with flowers and other or naments, stretched in double rows from end to eud of Ihe room. While the members and invited guests of other Odd Fellow lodgen were assem bling, sweet and beautiful mnsio was listened to from an Italian band, and the members engaged each other In conver sation. - : When all had arrived, a solid circle of Odd Fellows stretched around the room, about 65 being in attendance. The members were called to order by Mr. F, Clyde Dunn, who made a few ap propriate remarks, introducing the speaker of the evening. Mr. Plato Collins. Mr. Collins delivered an informal speech that exaetly suited the occasion. He spoke of Odd Fellowship as it existed in the world, saying that this organization numbered a larger membership than auy fraternal organization in existence, and cited instances of the great strength of fraternalism in Odd Fellowship in trying moments. , He spoke of the organization of the Kinston lodge, No. 174, beginning with only 14 members and now numbering over 60. r i After the address by Mr. Collins, music was listened to for a short while, . and then all arranged r themselves at table and partook pf the elaborate menu be fore them. ' , : ;;: " After feeding the inner' man, cigars were passed around, and the members chatted .together for awhile. The as semblage was then called to order again, and a request made that Rev. J. B. Webb make an address, telling of the early struggles of the Odd Fellows lodge In Kinston. His address was fine, was very "touching and-was muuh appreciated. ; After this, impromptu talks were made by" many. Wit, ;epartee and humor flowed freely, much to the delight of all present. It was veritably a ' love' feast and the hearts of all present were warmed and made better. .Mess. J. It. Dail. J. A. Albrltton. Jan. T. Sugg, W. T. Can-away and Harvey Edwards, of the Snow Hill lodge,, were in attendance, and Mr. Albritton told of the lodge at that place and thanked ; the Kinston brethren for the hospitable en tertainments Mr. Dail is the representa tive of the Snow Hill lodge to the grand lodge which meets at Winston in May. All went home last niaht feeling that Odd Fellowship in Kinston had , been much benefitted. GREENE DEMOCRATS Held Their County Convention , ' Wednesday. .
