Roberts Line of Communication Gut
North of Kroonstad.
ENEMY said TO Be 1900 STRONG
Gen.keIIy-Kenny May Have trouble
DisIodging Them.
BOERS SHORT OF SUPPLIES

LONDON, June 9.-London Is somewhat
disgusted at the "disagreeable activity
manifested by the Beers in the Orange
River Colony in cutting Lord Roberts tele-
graphic communication at Roodeval, north
of KrOonstad AS yet there is no indtca-
tion whence came the strong body of 1000
Beers that has arrived at Roodeval. un-
less 1t is the force mentioned in a recent
Beer dispatch as having started from STAN
derton with this very object in view. APP
parently the authorities on the spot re-
gard the situation at least as temporarily
serious, as they are not only reinforcing
the garrison at KroOnstad, but are sending
up troops from the lines of communication
in Cape Colony.
Roodeval is a fairly strong position, thir-
ty-five miles north of kroonstad, capable
of giving General KcllyKenny trouble
should the federals elect to dispute Its pos
session. as Gen. Kellykenny cannot be
ovcrburdened with cavalry with which to
threaten the burghcr line of retreat.
News Offsets Roberts Successes.
The news somewhat discounts the fiatter-
ing deductions the Britshers have been
extracting from Lord Roberts silence as
1t indicates that the menace of the Beers
to carry on a prolonged guerrilla warfare
Is HO tIlplS Unreal, eiiIi tHal icSiuCiit
Steyn is still capable of creating serious, if
only temporary trouble.
A parliamentary return issued this MORN
ing shows that thirty-six members of the
house of lords and twentyeight members
of the house of commons are serving with
the British troops in South Africa
Advices from Cape Town say the opinion
prevails there that the Boer supplies of am
munition and food will rot suffice to enable
them to prolong the struggle in the Lyn-
dcnburg district for more than eight weeks.
Cape Town also anticipates that the Beers
will be seriously harassed by the kaffirs.
BOers Cut the Telegraph.
LONDON, June 9.-Gen. Forester Walker
cables to the office from Cape Town,
under date of June s. as follows: kelly
Kenny, at Bloemfonten, reports that the
telegraph has been cut at Roodeval. north
of Kroonsta1, by a body of Beers esti-
mated to be 1000 strong. with six field
guns. He is sending strong reinforcements
to Kroonstad and / am reinforcing from
Cape Colony. I hope the interruption vii!
be only temporary.
