WITH COMPLETE SILENCE
Lords Roberts Is Pushing His Plans Asains
The Beers.
'NLY SCANT DISPATCHES WERE RECEIVED
And They Refer TO Incidents of the
Past week-No Prospect OF News.
Censorship.

London, March 4. 4:10 a. NIT is evil
dent that strict censorship is being ex-
ereised over the news at the seat OF war
as the night has not added anything to the
scant dispatches received during the day
most of which referred to matters pre-
eeding the recent stirring events.
The war office intimated at midnight
that there was no prospect of news until
something definite shall have been done.
This is quite in keeping with the complete
silence which Lord Roberts has hitherto
observed while his plans are in progress
OF accomplishment or until he is in actual
grip with the Beers it is probable that
the public will hear little or nothing of his
dongs.
