London, March 28-LOrd Roberts haa
sent 10000 troops to Glen, ten miles
north of Bloemfontein, on the railway.
This is preliminary to the general adj
vance. Immense quantities of stores,
etc, have now been accumulated at
BloemfOntein, and Lord Roberts infan-
try is seemingly about to move. An
IMPRESSION which can be traced to the
War Office, is abroad that the advance
will begin next Monday. Boer obser-
walton parties are lowering near Bloem-
fontein but Lord Roberts has one hum
dred and thirty-f,e miles to cover be-
fore reaching the great position which
the Beers are preparing at krOonstadt.
Moving ten miles day is probably
the best he can DO with field transport.
Therefore he can hardly engage the
Beers in force for two weeks. The re-
construction Of the railway behind him
may even delay an invasion of the
Transvaal until Aay. Meanwhile all
the important towns III the Free Stale,
within Lord Ecb=!ts' reach, are being
garrisoned. Ttata Echu. Philppolois,
Fauresmith and J.. le:.;fCntein are thus
held.

a special dispatch from Bloemfontein
says: The PERIOD OF lnactlon is coming
TO an end. Troops are being pushed to
the front and transports and stores are
being collected. The men are in grand
condition and the horses are picking up
wonderfully. However, the reports
regarding the imtnnence of a forward
movement are so conflicting that they
cannot be taken in any way authorita-
tive.
