ALIWAL, North Cape Colony. Oct. 10
delayed in transmission. -The Boar
force from Srithfield has moved to
Bethul;a, where, two thousand Beers are
now concentrating Their plan Of cam
paign appears to be for the RouXyille
contingent to cross the Orange river ford,
as they fear the north bridge is mined,
to circumvent Aliwal north, and to seize
the railway simultaneously the Bethule
contingent, it appears, is to cross the
border seize the railway and proceed
to Albert Junction, there to meet the
Rouxville force. If this plan succeeds
the Beers expect the Dutch in Cape
Colony 10 join them. The Rockville force
has artillery, including Krupp gun.
