ship Empress Of India the recent coup

in which the emperor, Kwang Su, was

British Acc Engaged Overwhelmingly
superior to tho Beers.
LoNpoH, March 8.-Lord Roberts
wired "Wednesday morning from Osfon-
tein and "Wednesday evening from Pop
kar Grove, II miles eastward. By an
applica ation of the elementary principal
of strategy the Boer position Is miles
long across his path has been emptied
and its holders have been obliged to re-
tire in confusion consequent upon hasty
Withdrawal.
Nothing was done by Lord Roberts to
disturb the symmetry, the deadly inge.
nuity, of the Boer trenches in front Of
him. Hp sent out infantry, estimated
from LIB commands named at 10000
men, anA sent 10000 horsemen and
horse Mallery in bold sweep around
the BoerSleft. whereupon the Boer cen.
ter and eight became untenable. Fifty
British full when the cavalry came into
contact with the Beers.
The correspondents differ as to the
enemy s strength. The Daily Mail 8
represes esltative thinks the Beers number
something more than 1000. The Daily
News man estimates them at 10, 600. AS
these figures come from observers at
headqun unrters it is clear that Lord Rob-
erts' force
Was Overwhelmingly Superior.
He canIscaccaly have fewer tLan $4,000
immediately available, as the Guards
brigade reached him from Lord Meth
uen Tue esday. Lord Methuen now COM
mands' only volunteers and the local
forces at Kimberley, some of whom
have gone toward Mafeking.
The STANDARD cautions Englishmen
against .'rising to a height of serene
contenhnent, which the actual position
does not justify" and thus measures
the situation:
"A large number of Beers are still in
the field. They have q large range Of
country over which they can operate.
They are in: q moral sense somewhat
damaged, but it would be too much to
say they would not stand again. In.
deed what We want them to do is to
stand again, for it is only in q real
stand up fight that we can infiict those
losses Which would eventually lead the
defeated to sue for peace. Lord Roberts
has gai{ed SUCCESS, but it must not be
regarded as a signal victory until we
know what damage has been inflicted
and whit prisoners have been taken"
The butch risings in the northwest

only cloud visible in the sky Of British

DUE TO A MISTAKE.

Beers Had Net Intended to Retreat From
Ladysmith.
BoER CAM. Biggarsberg, Saturday.
March 8.-The federals have fallen back
on the Biggersberg chain that crosses
Natal, south Of Dundee. The retreat
from Ladysmith was due to the mistake
Of certain commandant in ordering
his men to retire from the key Of the
position without any ;. reason for the
move. On the receipt Of bad news from
Iodder river, Wednesday, it was re-
solved to send the wagons back to Big
garsberg. and soon long strings of OK
wagons lined the roads. Over 1000
wagons took the westerly route to the
laager southwest Of Ladysmith. An.
other convoy was sent to the foot Of the
Drakensberg. A large number of tents
captured from the. British at Dundee
and also the ammunition were aban.
doned. When the last train left Eland.
slaagte workman's train followed,
carefully blowing up every bridge and
culvert between Ladysmith and Glen
