The Beers RETREAT
they Are Evacuating British Ter
ritory to Defend Their Own.
ROBERTS MARCH ON BLOENFOSIEIN
The Military Situation Reviewed. Amer
lean Makes Gun--Cspture Of the brtt-
iah Convoy by BOers-Business Con
Quoted Underground.

London, Feb. 2l.-The Beers are
leaving all the positions held by them
on British territory and are concen-
trating for the defense Of their own.
Sir Redvers Butler thinks they are
about to raise the siege of Ladysmith
and this is the large news Of the day.
Gen. Clements reports that the force
confronting him has been greatly d.
minished. Ten thousand men are esti-
mated to have gone from the Coles
berg district alone. The Beers are
also retracing their steps from Zulu
land. Thus they are relaxing their
hold on all sides in order to assemble
to oppose Lord Roberts. lie is press
ing on steadily towards Bloemfon-
TEN. This is shown by his inconse-
auential telegram from Paardeberg,
50 or go miles away. Doubtless he is
miles behind the column that is pur-
suing the Beers and the next lmpor-
tant news may be the occupation oil
Bloemfontein.
Nothing has been heard from the
chase of Cronje for two days. Al
though the last words of the war Of
fee were that there was no news for
publication, there is n strong disIo'
gition 10 believe that favorable infor-
nation has been received, but il being
withheld until the operations culmI-
nate in something more conclusive
There is an equally strong disposition
to think that Gen. Cron.le has got
away.
II. as Gen. Butler AYERS, the Beers
are retreating from him, then the news
on every side is favorable to the Brit
ish Nevertheless troops continue to
90 up. The war Office thinks that the
call to veterans to rejoin the colors, TO
Qether with the bounty, will bring
$4,000 men to the home defense. The
urgency with which home defense is
pressed excites some wonder.
With the casualties Just reported,
the British losses in killed, wounded
and captured now aggregate LIVE
The Military situation Reviewed
London, Feb. l.Spencer Wilkin-
son, reviewing the military situation
in the Morning Post to-day, says:
sarhe meaning of the position in Ma
tai Is that the Beers have sent the
bulk of their forces to resist Lord
Roberts. Cen Iiuller's aim is to JOIN
Sir George White and then either to
push on to Iangs Mex, or to send
back two divisions to reinforce LORD
Roberts, retaining two in Natal to
complete the recovery of the northern
triangle. II is TO be hoped that Lord
Roberts will overcome Gen. tronle
before the latter is reinforced Other
wise the British commander may
find himself facing Iioer army equal
in strength to his own, as all the
Beers appear to be hnrrying toward
Cronie. The actions now in progress
are the decisive battles of The war aud
every effort must be made to rein
force Lord Roberts"
