BOERs CONCENTRATING.
About 1000 ON the British Front Near
Paardeberg on Wednesday.

PAARDEBERG, Orange Free State.
Feb. 2S.-It is understood that some 1000
Beers are concentrating on the British
front. The British cavalry is in touch with
them to the eastward, and skirmishing be-
gan this morning.
1t appears that an action was about to
begin with the Boer reinforcements at the
moment of General Cronjes surrender, but
Lord Roberts forbade it until all the pris-
oners should be in safe keeping. Lord
Roberts addressed the Canadians after
ward, expressing in the strongest terms
his pleasure and appreciation Of their
splendid work and courage. He attributed
to them the greatest share in the Boer sur
render.

EXPERT wILkINsoN's VIEWS.



LONDON, March 2.-Spencer Wilkinson
in the Morning Post says: Lord Roberts
has taken the true measure CT the Beers,
and has thereby shown his mastery of
what Napoleon called the divine part OF
the art Of war No doubt the chapter or
British reverses is now closed. He would
be a bold strategist who could now offer
to the Boer leaders a plan OF campaign
promising ultimate success.
Lord Roberts will soon have a force OF
10000 men, The Boer commander-in-chief
can now hope for but little from strategy.
On his interior lines he Is not strong
enough, while contending with one British
army to strike with effect against tho
other. He may possibly attempt to hold
General Butler at the passes leading out Of
Natal, where a small force. at some risk
to itself, can cause considerable delay.
Meantime he may gather his forces In the
Free State for resistance to Lord Roberts.
If Lord Kitchener is at Arundel 1T would
seem to imply an intention TO restore the
railways and to open direct communication
with Bloemfontein.
1.-THE statement that force Of Beers
under Commandant Du Toit has crossed
the vaal river at Fourteen Streams &C
counts, perhaps, for a portion Of General
Cronjes army. and portends further
trouble for Mafeking.
''It looks possible that the Boer forces
may now collapse altogether, although that
must not be counted on. Lord Roberts,
however, will soon have troops enough to
deal with any guerrilla warfare; and, al
together, there is no need for further un-
easiness.
THE nation is proud Of its troops and OF
their commander-in-chief. 1t is grateful to
the colonists for their magnificent proofs
of imperial unity. There will be no re-
Taxation In the determination to carry the
war through to the end"
