BoERs FLEEING
Reported to Be Leaving Siege Of Wcp-
cncr i'll All Directions.


LONDON, April 17-t:15 a. M.-Lord
Roberts has spread his net far andAwide
to catch the adventurous commanders
that have been making mischief in the
southeastern part of the State The net
has not yet been drawn, but at the head
quarters of Lord Roberts the impression
exists that the power Of the Beers is
decreasing.
a Daily News correspondent has report
ed them fleeing northward. a Standard
correspondent reports them fleeing SOUTH
east; Daily Telegraph correspondent
says that some are going north and others
south: while a Morning Post representa-
tive says it is not known wllat the iBoers
the doing.
Evidently the feeling at Bioemfontein is
that the dispositions of Lord Roberts are
such as to enable him to concentrate a
large force rapidly at any point. The
Beers, being aware of this. are presumed
to be thinking now chiefly of retreat
The investment Of Wepener, according
to a special dispatch from Bloemfonten,
has absolutely been abandoned. Accord
ing to a Bethany dispatch the Beers are
unable to retreat northward because the
British strongly hold all roads.
Diverse reports come from Natal, one
asserting that the Boers have retired
beyond the Biggardsberg range, and an
ether saying that some of them are close
to Ladysmitl,.
London waits confidently for almost
immediate announcement of news favor
able TO the British.
Distrust exists, however, as to any
rapid, continuous advance toward Pre-
toria. chiefly on account of TIE lack of
horses, many of which die in the long
voyage. Letters from the Cape say that
the three days journey by rail is made
in open trucks; that the arrangements
for feeding and watering are inadequate,
and that the unfortune animals are dE-
ing in consequence Of these hardships.
Despite the energy of its buyers abroad,
the War Office foresees much difficulty
in supplying the enormous number Of
horses required.

On the following morning January Is.
the increased command was deployed with
view to repeating the tactics of the pre-
vious day. but the movement failed to
draw any fire from the trenches. Fears
were entertained that the insurgents had
withdrawn during the night. and with a
view to verifying this and in order TO de-
veiOp the insurgent position Lieutenant
Castner. with twenty men, was ordered up
the slope. from which point it became evil
dent that the position had been abandoned
On advice of this fact Lieutenants Will
liams and Conrad, with small detachments,
were directed to reconnoitre and report
the direction taken by the insurgents in
their Hight. Both parties returned before
noon without having encountered the en-
envy.
During the morning Lieutenant Colonel
Howe had circled around the right and
rear of the insurgent position and attained
the summit later in the day. The insur-
gent position was found to have been ad-
mirably situated for the purposes of de-
fence and was protected by twelve we'll
constructed trenches, within whose en-
closure there were barrack accommoda-
tiOns for between two and three hundred
men. There were also found, in large
quantities, rice, clothing. medical supplies
and other stores which, together with the
buildings, We're fired and destroyed. In
the magazine on the hillside there was
stored wearing apparel for women as well
as men. On the very summit of this hill
was found large telescope placed in a
commanding position. Examination of the
various trenches showed the effectiveness
of the artillery fire.
With a view to intercepting the retreat
OF the insurgents Major Steever, with a
detachment of Troop L. followed by Cap
tain Tate with his troop, Teconnoitred the
country in the direction of :.apo, but were
unable to find any trace Of the insurgents.
