graphed tomorrow. Generals de Wet
and Delarey commanded the Boer
forces,
.Altho. according 70 Lord Roberts re
ports it seems that the Beers have
made laborious preparations TO resist
the invasion Of the positions from which
they were driven yesterday. ii Is much
doubted in London ii they eyer seri-
ously expected TO accomplish more at
Poplar Grove than TO check the ad-
vance of the British 1T is believed that
in the last few days their forces have
succeeded in concentrating northeast OF
where yesterdays battle WAS Fought
In this view of the case, then. the Boer
commanders did not wish to risk an
engagement at Modder river, but fell
back when their position became pre-
carious with the merest show of resist
aii,,.
1T Is NOW expected that the Orange
Free state and TranSvaal Beers viii
fan back 10 the ridge of hills between
Nentersburg and Senella', northeast of
Minburg. where they will make 4 stand
Lord Roberts, however. may have an
ticipated such development when he
ordered Gen Butler to move Westward
from Ladysmitli and if possible toiorce
hi, way oyer Van f;sesiens pass Ii is
thought that Gen. Buffers objective is
Bethlohem. Orange Free State. on di-
rect road running southwest TO Senesal
land only fifty miles distant thsrcfroW.
Thence if Gen. Butler gains hat posi-
tion. he can move against the rear Of
the Beers when they lie masse,l in the
mills northeast of Winbnrs waiting TO
, H.. p,.,t tict, ny
iup from the south.
Yesterdays battle is interpreted as
disclosing plainly the fact that the
Isoers intend henceforth To fight With
extre.sc caution and strictly il defense,
whit no unseemy seruf'les about rum
ming away to save themselves for an
other fight.
No doubt is entertained of Lord Rob
eris intention to clear the Orange Free
\ state of Beers before beginning his
march to Pretoria. The overanxious
| fear that has obtained on this point in
gone quarters in London seems to have
4 beeIa born merely of the enthusiastic
tdesfre Of Biitons at home TO see the first
