Investment of Wepener Has Been Abso-
lutely Abandoned.
LONDON, April lS.-Lord Roberts 'las
spread his net far and wide to catch the
ADVENT trous commanders that have
been n aking mischief in the southeast
ern part Of the state. The net has not
yet been drawn in, but at the headquar-
teSs of Lord Roberts the impression ex-
lists that the power of the Beers is de-
creasing. A Daily News correspondent
had them fleeing to the southeast; a
Daily Standard correspondent has them
f1ee northward; a Daily Telegraph cor
respondent says that some are going
north and others south; while Morn
ing Post representative says it is not
known what the Beers are doing.
Evidently the feeling at Bloemfontein
10 that the dispositions Of Lord Roberts
are such as to enable him to concentrate
q large force rapidly at any point. The
Beers being aware of this are presumed
to be thinking now chiefly of retreat.
The investment of Wepaner, according
to a special dispatch from Bloemfontcin,
Has Absolutely Been Abandoned.
According to Bethany dispatch the
Beers are unable to retreat northward
because the British strongly hold all
roads.
Diverse reports come from Natal. one
asserting that the Beers have retired
beyond the Biggarsburg range, and an.
other saying that some of them are
close to Ladysmith.
London waits confidently for almost
immediate announcement Of news ia.
vorable to the British.
Distrust exists, however, as to any
rapid. continuous advance toward Pre-.
toria, chiefly on account Of the lack OF
horses, many of which die in the course
Of long voyages. Letters from the Cape
say that three days journey is made in
open trucks, that arrangements fol-
feeding and watering them are made
Quate and the unfortunate animal.
break down constantly in consequence
Of these hardships. Despite the energy
Of its buyers abroad the war Office fore
sees much difficulty in supplying the
enormous number Of horses now re
Quired.

II would aid them by advice, if they
desire it, to set up free and indepen
