BOER FORCES IN PANIC.

Lord Roberts AnnonncesComplete Collapse of the Transvaal War. Lord Roberts cables from Nelspruit, on the Pretoria-Delagoa Bay Railroad, not far from Ivomatipoort, the frontier station, as follows: “Of the 3,000 Boers who retreated from Ivomatipoort before the British advance front Machadodorp 700 have entered Portuguese territory, others have deserted in various directions, and the remainder are reported to have crossed the Ivomati river and to be oeupying spurs of the.Lobombo mountains, south of tbs railway. A general tumult seems to have occurred when they recognized the hopelessness of their cause. Their long toms and field guns have been destroyed and nothing is left of the Boer army but a few marauding bands. Kelly-Kency is dealing w'ith one of these, which occupies a position at Doornberg.”
