According to special dispatches from

Beers Plan of Campaign.
a+
gives further details of
the Boer plan of campaign, which was
drawn up. he asserts. by general OF
European reputation
DR.. Eeyds obtained from several
generals in German and Belgium as
well as in Holland, a series of highly
plans, although there is no
reason to believe that the general
whose plan was accepted ever imagined
ii would be put into execution.
The Natal portion includes the sell
zure of the coast railway north Of
Durham by an attack through Zulu
land. or by way of Grey Town and
Umboli. Thus, throughout Natal Of
fensive tactics were suggested. but in
the Orange Free State the plan pro-
posed is defensive policy based on the
advantage given by the
position of the Orange Free State on
the flank of the railway north of De
Aar Junction, and trusting to the
Orange river and the obstruction of
the railway bridges to induce the
British to advance through Kimberley
to Bloemfontein or through Mafeking
and Pretoria
The Beers are advised in the scheme,
not to oppose either OF these move
ments in their earlier stages, but to
operate on the line of communications,
namely, $50 miles from De Aar to Kim
Derley and 250 miles from Kimberley to
DR.. Leyds has been assured that If
he Beers can hold out two months the
European powers will interfere. 1t is
clear. therefore. that the only way to
iisconcert their plans is to obtain the
light to dispatch a third army TO
Delagoa bay.
