Army REORGANIZATION BILL

Washington, May 5.-In anticipation
OF the passage by the house OF the army
reorganization bill in an unamended
form the officials at the war department
have been figuring to learn what effect
the bill will have upon the numerical
strength of the army. 1t appears that
the only branch of the service which will
receive any addition is the artillery and
the number of men to be added to that
branch is only 5,479 at the maximum.
This will make the total strength of this
branch of the service II ,448. The pres
ent enlisted strength of the army is
$4,000 regulars and $4,000 volunteers,
or a total of 100000. The reorganiza-
ton bill will increase that total to 1O5,-
Ats men.

beginning of the year, and the lack of

"The BOer forces were entrenched on
the opposite bank, prepared to contest
the crossing. Our guns were brought
into place and a terrific shell fire was
directed on the Boer lines. At the same

dashed across the river and, advancing
in the open, completely turned the Boer
right. 1t was dusk, but nothing could

BOERS FAST RETREATING.
British Beat them Back and Crossed
the Vet River,

London, May 8-The Beers are every
where retiring before the British, except
on the Natal frontier and at Mafeking,
to the inner circle of their defenses.
They appear determined not to fight
until the kroOnstad hills are reached.
Lord Roberts is expected to do another
40 or so miles, and then wait for time,
in order to bring up supplies and to re-
pair the railway. There are one or two
hints in the dispatches from the front
that he may rest for a few days at
Smalldeel.
General French's 10000 cavalry have
not been mentioned in the official or
unofficial dispatches for four days. 1t
is not likely that he is idle, and
the conjecture is that he is either detour-
ing toward KrOonstad, or raiding the
Ladybrand district. Fifteen thousand
British are now operating on the west
ern frontier of the Free State.
AS the deadlock at Warrenton has
been broken, and the Beers are retreat
ing, there is nothing formidable, except
distance, between WarrentOn and Ma
teklng. The most hopeful advices from
Mafeking of April % were that the gar
rIson would be barely able to hold out
for month. At that time the fever
was spreading.
According to advices from Maseru,
BasutOland, several thousand Free Stat
ers are north of Ladybrand, where they
have collected great herds. The district
Is rich in food for men and horses and
the Beers seem resolved not to move
northward, but to be preparing to resist
where they are. Ii they are let alone
they will menace the line of cOmmunica-
tlons after the main British army has
passed into the Transvaal
