PREPARING FOR LAST STAND
III Event OF Capture of Pretoria Soers
VIII Take to the Mountains.

LONDON. April 15.-Natives report at
Kimberley that Colonel Douglass engaged
the Beers near Zwartskop on "Wednesday
and succeeded in driving them back The
British casualties were slight.
ElandsIaagte last evening reported that
there had been no traces OF the Beers IN
that neighhorhood for the past two days
Their progress southwark has been ef-
fectively barred by the British occupation
OF JonenoskoD on the left and Unbul-
wani on the right.
The Scouts on Saturday located the
Beers in q strong position eleven miles
northeast of the British advanced posi-
ton at Bioelnfonten. Lord Roberts has
strongly protested 10 President Kruger
at the treatment Of prisoners and has
formally demanded the observance OF the
Geneva convention. i appears from
every indication that the Beers are pre-
pairing in the event of Pretoria being
captured to make a last stand along &
line reaching from Leydenber5 along the
mountains into Swaziland.
