ALREADY MOVING
Strong Impression in Military
Circles That Roberts Advance
Has Begun
Under the Guise of a Deliberate
Attempt to Entrap Boer
Forces.
Movements of the British Col
umns Considerably Impeded
by Rains.

LONDON, April a0.-There is strong
impression in the best informed mill
tary circles that the advance OF General
Roberts army has already begun under
the guise of deliberate attempt to en-
trap the Beers who have been besleg1ng
Wepener. Columns are admitted to be
in motion from Aliwal North and from
Reddersburg for the relief Of the garrl-
son of Wepener, but it is suspected that
there are other columns operating
further north,s which have not been
mentioned by General Roberts, and
that under the pretense of cutting on
the retreat Of the Boer raiders he has
entered upon great turning move
ment, which will render the enemy's
position north of Bloemfontein unten-
able. The rigor with which the censor.
ship is enforced seems to corroborate
this theory. But a more reasonable
view is that the suppression OF the raid
in the southeastern corner Of the Free
State is an episode and that when the
British army moves, it will follow the
railway and not stop until Pretoria is
occupied.
Confident Prediction.
There has been little news for "a
hours, but there is a strong probability
that when the raiders in the South are
either captured or dispersed, General
Roberts army will go north with his
irresistible force and the campaign will
be ended more speedily than even the
optimists now venture to hope.
General White is now beyond the
reach of the criticism which is proving
so destructive to the regulations of the
generals in the field. He made another
felicitious address at Egham and de-
clared that Ladysmith, with old John
Bull behind it, was never without hope.
the two or three generals
who finally rescued Ladysmith have
been left in an untenable po-
sition by the publication of Gen
eral ROBBERS structures upon their
Spion Kop reports. It was rumored
that General Warren had been recalled
to England and while there was no
direct confirmation, the story is prob
ably true. The cooperation of General
Butler and General Warren in Natal is
rendered impossible by the appearance
of their reports in print. The same ar
gument applies to the relations of |
General Roberts and General Butler,
and change in command of the Brit
Ssh forces in Natal is considered the in
evitable consequence Of the publication |

A Loud Whistle.

A clergyman in Scotland desired /:
hearers never to call one. anothe

thing that was not" they ought to
whistle.
One Sunday he preached a sermon
on the parable of the loaves and fishes,
and being at a loss to explain it said
the loaves were not like those nova
days-they were as big as some of the
hills of Scotland.
He had scarcely pronounced these
words when he heard loud whistle.

quantities Of stores are being moved
south from Bloemfontein, which is re-
versal of the course Of freight for the
past six weeks. These shipments are
made necessary by the operations in the
south of the Free State. There are 900
field hospitals, most of the cases being
enteric fever and dysentery. With the
exception of these facts the embargo on
war news is complete. The special COR
respondents send incomplete dispatches
which obscure rather than clarity the
situation in the efforts to prepare mat
ter which will pass the censor. Here
and there phrase indicates an expect
ancy that large things are about to hap
pen.
What is about to be done with Sir
Redvers Butler and Sir Charles Warren
occupies everybody's attention. The
papers continue to comment earnestly
upon Lord Roberts censure of these
commanders. They ask if more errors
are not likely to occur, together with
Fruitless Waste of Life
in the event that men who have been
declared incompetent by their superior
continue to command 10000 troops. It
is now generally accepted that the gov
eminent had purpose in the publica-
ton of Lord Roberts dispatch, and that
the recall Of General Butler and Cen
eral Warren have probably been decided
upon.
According to Boer reports there is a
steady flow of foreign volunteers to the
Transvaal. Hitherto these Adventures
have been attached to the different
commanders. Now it is said they are
to be formed into separate legion with
foreign commanders, and it is rumored
that the chief command will be given to

recently returned to the Transvaal
