Is to Go to MafeEing-LOrd Roberts's
Silence Taken to Mean Something.
LONDON, March ca a. NJ
Mafeking is to be relieved as soon as
the British force already on the way
to Kimberley can raise the siege. This
force is described vaguely as strong"
The Kimberley Light Horse is men
toned as a component. In view of the
fact that the Kimberley Light Horse
is under the control of the De Beers
company, Lord Roberts's visit to Kim
berley probably had to do with an ar
rangement with Cecil Rhodes to use
this company of troops.
Mr.. Rhodes and Col. Kekewich have
had differences of policy, it appears,
which did not end with the relief of
Kimberley. What shall l do with
him?" Col. Kekewich is said to have
wired to Lord Roberts, who half hui
morously replied, according to a story
circulated at the clubs, Put him in
chains"
Fresh intelligence as to what Lord
Roberts is doing has ceased again.
This silence is taken to mean that
something has happened or is about to
happen.
Boer raiders are uncommonly active
in the northwest section of Cape Col
ony, where they are stirring up the
Dutch.
Martial law has consequently. been
declared.
Mr.. Chamberlain's request for $500
additional Australian bushmen is I'M
derstood to be explained by the fact
that the war Office requires this force
for the pursuit of irreconciliable Beers
who, according to the intelligence de-
partment, have been quietly collect
ing great quantities of ammunition
and stores in the mountain Businesses
of the Zoutpansberg district in the
north of the Transvaal, where they are
preparing to carry on guerilla warfare.

LONDON, March 5.-The air OF
mystery which covers the movements
of the main British army in South
Africa continues though what informa-
ton leaks through indicates that the
campaign is being carried on with
steady progress. There are now prac-
tically three British armies in the
field, one in the Free State, one In
Cape Colony and the other in Natal.
All that is known about the first and
most important is that it is In close
touch with body of Beers estimated
to number about 5000 men.
Speculation as to the direction and
method of General Robertss advance
into the Free State is quite worthless,
SO carefully are the plans concealed.
In Cape Colony Gems. Brabant and
Clements command the two horns OF
the army while Gen. Gatacre holds
the main Boer force in check. Gems.
Gatacre and Clements will probably
combine and advance on Bloomfon-
tein, with Gen. Brabant guarding the
right flank with the mobile colonials
This movement will be subsequent to
securing a line of communications
along the lines of the Free State rail-
reads which, according to the lates;
dispatches, seems almost accomplish
ed.
The third army, that in Natal, is
comparatively inactive, and, with the
exception of sorties, a serious move
ment can hardly be expected from it
this week When it will be ready to
advance it's movements must greatly
depend upon how much distance the
retreating Beers put between them
selves and Gen. Butler.
AS an incident of the British main
objective, which at last is clearly out
lined as Pretoria, the relief of MAIZE
king by force from the south, may
be expected any day, Col. Plumer's
force, on the north, seeming incapable
of accomplishing it.
p AThe unexpected activity of the Cape
Dutch and the report of likelihood of
fighting between them and the Basu-
tos aided by other tribes having a
grudge against the Beers, is regarded
as rather ominous.
The only other untoward phase of
the military situation that the critics
can discern Is the enforced temporary
inactivity Of the Natal army, an in
stance if which is contained in the de-
spatches announcing that the flying
column which attempted to intercept
the Boer retreat only succee led in
driving the enemy further north. Gen.
Whites men, according to the Times
correspondent at Ladysmith, will re-
quire fortnights recuperation.

BeIated Accounts of Scenes and In.

Belated Accounts of Scenes and In
cidents Attending the Relief.
DURHAM, Friday, March 2.-The
newspaper correspondents who have
reached here from Ladysmith say that
the enthusiasm of the garrison and in
habitants of the besieged town was
intense when the relieving column en-
tered. Men left the hospital and even
the women and children went forth
to greet the newcomers. 1t was no.
ticeable, however, that the latter were
the most demonstrative, cheering the
women and children whom they were
proud to have saved.
The correspondents believe that the
garrison could have held out until
April 2, though rations had necessarily
been reduced to the minimum. The
men of the garrison will require rest
and the horses are much wasted.
The correspondents paid high trib-
ute to the courage and heroism of the
women. Never a complaint was heard
from them in spite of their unexam-
pied privations and their endurance
and courage were beyond praise.
Sad sights were often witnessed
when the sparse rations were being
drawn. Children would pathetically
seek milk for their sick mothers. The
women and children were estimated
at 500. Though there was much sick
ness arising from the horse meat and
the absence of faranaceous food the
epidemic period was passed safely.
Dr. Jameson is suffering from ty-
phoid fever.
Gen. Butler entered the town at
noon, escorted only by his staff. His
bronzed appearance was very striking.
He said he had not entered a bed for
three weeks.
The Beers exchanged shots with the
relieving force, which saw few
corpses lying in the road.
1t is believed the Beers are retreat
ing to Glencoe.
The correspondents eulogize Gener-
ais White and Hunter.

James shevlin seemed carried away yesterday by
enthusiasm attendant the visit of Bryan to
Brooklyn, and talked wildly about Democratic plu-
ralties in Kings County.
we will carry the county by from 1900 to
10000" he said.
DO you base that statement on a result Of a
poll?" the natural question asked.
This seemed to annoy Mr.. shevlin, who was up
in the clouds, and he said defantly:
Never mind about the poll. We gave you es-
Inmates last year and the year before which think
you found were close to the mark"
He neglected to add. however. that he also gave
estimates in 1895 Then he declared that Body
would defeat Charles A. Schieren for Mayor by a
majority Of $4,000 Schieren was elected by SO, OOO
There is prospect that the Democratic ticket
will lose a good many votes by Bryan's failure TO
speak in Schwaben and Breitkopf's halls Mon
day night. Many in the big crowds which We're
disappointed declared that they deliberately
duped by the Kings County Democratic Commit

ton generally regarded with mrth. Croker
himself seen Monday about his commits
sons the bonding of city employees, and he said:
There is not word OF truth in 1t, and even if It
were true 1t would amount to nothing"
Yesterday Andrew Freedman asked about
the matter. and in spite Of the official report to
the Insurance Commissioner Of Ohio and his own
sworn testimony before the Mazet Committee that
Mr.. Croker received a proportion Of the bonding
commissions, he roared OUT
THAT statement is entirely and maliciously
false"
But Mr. DUrfee seems TO have exact figures,
which might be assumed to prove them genuine, "
objected the reoorter.
"Alvord had his figures, too" said Mr.. Freedman.
but they were not correct. Mr.. Croker is inter
ested in the company, but in perfectly legitimate
way"
In exactly what way is Mr.. Croker Interested"
the reporter asked again The public is merely
curious to know how Mr. Croker IS interested and
why his share IS not charged on the books.
He will tell you We will not You don't expect
US TO tell you all about private business, do
you? Then go to Mr. Platt and ask him all about
his companies"
So Mr. Freedman tried to dodge the issue. Every
one is laughing at Mr.. Crokers clumsy attempts
to get out of the predicament he finds himself in
and one believes the conflicting statements that
he has made in trying TO clear himself
