ROBERTS FINE POSITION
Army Are Most Advantageously Situat-
 ed and Troops Are Cheerful

London, February GA dispatch to the Standard from Osfontein, dated Sunday, March 1, says:
 'Lord Roberts army now occupies a most advanta geous position. The Sixth di- vision, under General Kelly-Kenny, Is post ed on the right and holds all the kopjes for a distance of five miles south of the Mod der. The Seventh division, under General Tucker is in the center, immediately south of the river, and General Colville, with the Ninth, is on the north bank. The cavalry the left front and the mounted infantry un- der Colonel Ridley Martyre on the right front. The country around consists of wide. grassy plains, broken only by ridges and isolated kopjes.
 "A body of the enemy has taken up a position on one of the latter, a fiat-topped hill, to the north of the river five miles be- yond General French, who today took out horse artillery and shelled them. Another force, 1000 strong, holds an isolated group of kopjes south of the Modder and in front of the British mounted infantry. Their po- sition is surrounded on all sides by level plains, over which the Boers must make their way in order to reach the river. AS a consequence their situation appears pre- carious in the extreme.
 "The veldt Is now in beautiful condition. Water Is plentiful, supplies being obtaina- ble, not only from the river, but also from numerous small springs The health and spirits of the troops are excellent. The Brit ish cavalry and mounted infantry have been reconnoitring the enemy's positions. There has been little fighting."

BRITISH FORCE IS NOW MARCHING
 NORTHWARD TO RELIEF IF WATERING
The Army Will be Augmented by Strong Detachment from Kimberly --N0ting is Heard from Roberts,

garding this war as unjust. She does not know the true facts of the case The Transvaal as was seen long ago from her preparations, was determined to fight. President Kruger wished to initiate George Washington, but he has not the necessary faculties for sust staining the role"
 Regarding Anglo-French relations and the rumors of possible war between the two powers. Sir Henry said:
 France, for many reasons, is an indis- pensable element in Europe. Her force acts as a counter-poise to other forces. British public opinion would not follow politician who premeditated a war against France, and unless England was attacked openly a conflict would be we'll night impossible"

Boers Active in Cape Colony and
 Dutch Are Aroused.
MARTIAL LAW IS NOW IN FORCE
Main British Force is in Advantageous Position and the Men Are Cheer
 ful-Boer Front Extends .n Eighteen Miles.

London, March s.-(5 a. m.)-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 mentioned as a component. In view of the fact that the Kimberley light horse is un- der the control of the Debeers company, Lord Roberts visit to Kimberley probably had to do with an arrangement with Cecil Rhodes to use this company of troops.
 MT. Rhodes and Colonel Kekewich have had differences of policy, it appears, which did not end with the relief of Kimberley What shall do with him?" Colonel Keke- wich is said to have wired to Lord Roberts, who, half humorously, replied, according to a story circulated at the clubs, put him in chains"
 Fresh intelligence as to what Lord Rob- erts is doing has ceased again. This si- 1ence Is taken to mean that something has happened. or is about to happen.
 Boer raiders are uncommonly active in the northwestern section of Cape Colony. where they are stirring up the Dutch.
 Martial law has consequently been de- clared.
 MT. Cndihoeriaih request Aoi 6'oVV o"ui- tonal Australian bushmen Is understood to be explained by the fact that the war of flee requires this force for the pursuit of irreconcilable Boers, who. according to the intelligence department, have been quietly collecting great quantities of ammunition and stores in mountain fastnesses of the Zoutspansberg district in the north of the Transvaal, where they are preparing to carry on a guerrilla warfare.

Ma.eking in Sore Straits flor Sufficient

London March 6.-Lady Sarah Wilson wires the Daily Mail from Mafeking under date of Ferbuary 19, as follows:
 "The sheliing of the town is less severe but bullets are more plentiful. Women and children are deliberately aimed at. For this reason Colonel Baden-Powell is having a net work of trenches dug all over the town for pedestrians. There are now miles of these trenches, but in wet weather they are impossible, and so risks must be run by everybody.
 "The food question is becoming difficult. A soup kitchen has been organized and horses, stray dogs and heads and feet of oxen are utilized. The town is on strict ratlonS."

have entirely disappeared It may be-
though, that he viii show them II occa-
sion requires. II Is certain now that his
whole attitude Is one Of peace a very
good story is told and retold here about
one Of Beyeridge's friends who went 10
him and told him that whenever he had
any political row 20 count on his sup
port. The gentleman himself tells the
story, as follows:
Senator Beyeridge's face assumed
the most bland and childllke expression
when he replied in very gentle voice:
Ny dear boy, there Is not going to
be any row. ! won't have any roy
with anybody II anybody wants TO
have a row with me. / win run away
from him; not only that but ] viii run
