ROBERTS MAY KE4 CHI BLOEMFON-
TEN BY ZO-MORROW.
The March Sunday without Opposition
Beers Likely to Make u Stand at the
Outskirts of the City--Gen. Gatacre's
Progress.

Progress.
London, March 12.-At the presen
rate of progress Lord Roberts shoul,
be in Bloemfontein on Wednesday o
this week, though all calculations ma,
be upset by the development of NOR
strenuous resistance than the Boer
have so far attempted.
The distance between Lord Roberts
and the Free State capital is now 81
small, only about twenty-five miles
that it is apparent that the Boer
either contemplate making determin
ed stand on the outskirts Of the town
or, for strategic reasons best know
to themselves are allowing Lord Rob
erts to occupy it after merely harassins
his advance.
The numerical superiority of the Brit
ish troops leaves no doubt in the mind!
OF the critics here that Lord Roberts
will accomplish his temporary objec
tive, the occupation of Bloemfontein
The commander-in- chiefs latest dis
patches announcing that General Cat
acre is at Bethulie Bridge, and the
newspaper dispatches saying that Gen.
eral Gatacre commands the bridge ap.
proaches, show that the Beers in that
vicinity have been put between two
British forces, Aasvogel I<op, the place
from which Lord Roberts sent his last
cable message, being one hundred miles
almost due north of Bethulie. The
dispatch is under date of March IL, 5.3s
a. M, and Is as follows:
1--WE were unopposed during the
march yesterday. The officers left at
the last camp to record the list of cas-
ualties have not yet arrived. The fol-
lowing additional casualties are known
however:
"Killed-Lieutenant f. N. Parsons
and A. B. Coddington of the Essex reg
iment.
Wounded-Lieutenan c. Berkeley
(severely), Lloyd Arm and G.. H. Ra-
leigh
General Gatacre reports that he was
within a mile of the Bethulie railway
bridge yesterday. The bridge was par
TALLY destroyed, and the enemy was
holding the opposite bank
There is a large expanse of plain
between the British and the main body
of the Beers, who may be quite able
to cover the retreat of the force con-
fronting General Gatacre. Once the
British are in possession of the rail-
road from Bethulie to Bloemfontein,
the junction at the Free State capital
and General Gatacre and Roberts would
be a matter of very few days.
Commenting on the fact that Lord
Roberts found the Beers holding posi-
lions in part of the country supposed
to have been left open, the st. James
Gazette says: mo more damning in
dictment was every preferred against
any cavalry"
Rumors of the relief of Mafeking con-
tinue to circulate, but fail of any con-
firmation.
From Natal, which General Butler
enormously declared was clear. of Beers,
and from Cape Colony, where General
Kitchener's stern hand is upon the re-
bellion, there Is no news Of any inn
portance.'
The Earl of Warwick's eldest son,
Lord Brooke, has volunteered for SER
vice in South Africa, and starts for the
Cape Sunday He will be attached to
the cavalry staff.

orchestra. Such a delightful programme
well performed should be attraction
enough for any music lover to listen to-,
The orchestra is in need of financial
assistance and a strong appeal is made
that large attendnce be present, These
concerts have been a great boom to
musical people for the last six seasons,
but the support which it calls for has
not been adequate to the maintenance
of this orchestra. 1t is hoped that this
concert will attract a large audience.

the Potomac into Virginia ut Williams
Ferry and march to Winchester, where
they would strike the road leading from
that place to Cumberland.
Col. Dunbar's Brigade left Frederick
April 10th. The first day they marched
to Walkers, IS miles from Frederick, and
passed thesouth ridge of the Shenandoah
mountains, These they found easy of
ascent and saw plenty of hares, deer and
Partridges. The next day they marched
10 miles and camped on the banks of the
Couochogeague, which was described as
fine situation close by the Potomac
The following day they crossed the Poto-
mac so as to strike the Winchester route.
and marched from Williams Ferry to John
Evans. Theircamping place was at what
is now called the Big Spring, on the road
running from Martinsburg to Winchester,
one and c half miles south of the former
place. This accounts for the tradition
of Braddock's march near Martinsburg.
AT tins point the roads began to be indif-
ferent On May 3rd they marched II
miles to the Widow Barringer's, about
five miles from Winchester This is de-
scribsd as "a fine situation if properly
cleared. 1t does not seem that this divi-
sion went rs far as Winchester, but struck
the new road leading to Cumberland and
took this. On the 4th of May they march,
ed miles to one Potts. The writer says
the road was very bad and they got some
wild turkeys. On May the 9th they
marched Il miles to Henry Enoeh's The
road lay over "prodigious mountains, "
and they crossed one stream 20 times
in three miles" The next days march
brought them to CoN's at the mouth of
Little Capon, Il miles from Enochs.
From Little Capon they went miles to
Col. Cresaps, and then marched 10 miles
to Fort Cumberland When within
few miles of the Fort they were overtaken
by a coach containing General Braddock
attended by his body guard. In little
while they heard the booming of cannon
at the Fort, indicating his arrival there.
In addition to the traditions of the
presence of Braddocks army at Martins
burg and Charles Town and Winchester,
which are confirmed, there are persistent
traditions of his presence near Gerards-
town. Near that place is road said to
have been cut by his army, which must
have crossed North Mountain at Mills
Gap, This may have been the new road
which had been ordered to be cut previous
to his departure from Alexandria. About
two miles south of Gerarfstoyyr, is n sDot
which has been dug over by parties for
century looking for the gold which
Braddock is said to have buried there. A
number of quite prominent men engaged
in tina. search, but there isno reason why
Braddock should have buried money there
or anywhere else during his march, as he
had no idea of being defeated.

b. & o. r. R. the First Railroad to introduce
Automobile Service.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad has es-
tablished Electric Automobile Service at
Washington, d. c., in connection with
its train service, being the first railroad
to introduce this mode of transportation
regularly to and from its railway station.
The Automobiles are of the latest cleo
trio pattern, absolutely noiseiess in re-
gard to machinery and running gear.
They are provided with luxuriously deep
cushioned seats. with electric lights and
time pieces. Two small trunks can be
carried on the supports at the rear of the
vehicle. and the top of the cab provides
ample room for small travelling bags aud
hand luggage.
The splendid streets of Washington
are particularly favorable for this high
class transportation, and the vehicles can
in safety reach a speed from ten to four
teen miles an hour on any of the streets.
excepting in the business portion.
1t has been arranged, when special SER
vice Is desired. passengers on trains ap-
preaching Washington from the East will
notify conductor before arrival at Balti-
more. and on trains from the West will
notify conductor before arrival of train
at Washington Junction.
The rates for this extraordinary .ser-
vice are extremely reasonable, and the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. with its adj
vanced ideas and methods, is to be con-
graduated in being the first to inaugurate
regularly this latest invention in trans
portation service.
