Boers Changing Tactics.
London, April 15.-The Daily Tele-
graph has the following from Glands
laagte, dated April 10: THE Beers are
changing tactics and are moving from
Glencoe westward, with a view Of

Beers Move Quickly.
London. April 1.-THE Bloemfontin
correspondent OF the Morning Post, tel.
egraphing Thursday, says: 1.-The enc.

entirely new tactics. Two columns are
known to be moving to the south of
Bloemfontein. They are relying upon
Cape carts for transport and are car,
rying scarcely any forage and only suf-
ficient food TO meet immediate require
ments of the convoy with OK transport
following at secure distance. The
Boer columns are thus enabled to move
almost as quickly as cavalry. 1t is re-
ported that there are 5000 Beers to
the south OF Dewetsdorp. The force
extends from that point to Odendahl.
The burghers who returned to their
farms are undoubtedly rejoining the
enemy. Lord Roberts has appointed
the duke of Marlborough to be assis-
tant military secretary at headquar-
ters."
