GREAT BATTLE EXPECTED.
Believed an Engagement VIII occur
SoOnat kroOnstntit


London. March "a. All signs now
point to Kroonstad as the scene of the
next great battle between the Beers
and the British in South Africa. Those
who have been hoping that the bursh-
ers Will retire from the Orange Free
State without further resistance are
beginning to acknowledge that proba-
bly, they will be disappointed. Appar-
entity the scattered commands are
rapidly being gathered together in an
ticipation of an early attack. 1t is said
that intrencflments are in process of
digging at every favorable point; the
Beers are forming long line To guard
against thanking movements; all avail
able guns are being placed in position
on commanding heights and in Kroon-
stad itself great stores of ammunition
and supplies are being accumulated.
The Beers intend to write large
chapter of history at Kroonstad, and
then fall back. carrying :he:r gins 70
other positions already prepared on the
yaal river. They Undoubtedly enjoy
the lull in operations. hoping that Com
mandant Olivier may be able to reach
them with his force Of about 1000 men
and sixteen guns.
Reports from Thaba N'Chu, Orange
Free State. forty miles due east of
Bloemfontein, say that General French
has done some fighting near that place.
II the report is true it may mean that
he has encountered Commandant Olli-
yier's force. which was said to be trek
king thru the Orange river district to-
ward Ladybrand. by way of Smithfield
and Wepener. Londoners are eager to
hear that General French has sue
ceeded in cutting off Ollivier from the
main Boer body. His troops are sup
posed to be composed OF men who have
fled from NorvaIs pont. Bethulie and
Stormberg, and IL is also thought that
they have guns captured from General
Gatacre
1t is now thought that Mafeking
cannot be relieved unless the forces
intrusted with that understanding was
substantially increased. Little fear is
felt that Lord Roberts will promptly
dispatch re-enforcements-ifh he has moi
already done so-now that he knows
the real gravity of the situation.
The British army as it stands in
