Boer commanders in the eastern part of the Orange River cololy have been broken up by their leaders for the time into small parties that harass large col umns of the British. necessarily cutting off scouts. sniping pickets. making a show of force here and there and bewildering the slow moving bodies. Commandant Christian De Wet. General Steyn's prin- cipal commander. is the genius of these guerrilla operations. He is the hero of the Boer side in these last days of hostil- itieS. Lord Roberts columns are steadily contracting the circle of their advance. Transvaal officials who were interviewed yesterday at Machadodorp by a core spondent of The Daily Express assert cd an intention to hold out to the last. President Kruger will probably retire to Watervalonder or Nelspruit. His physi- clan thinks his condition of health will not allow him to go to the high veldt. COmmandant General Botha is uncom- monly active east of Pretoria. The Ca nadians are doing splendid outpost work.
