LONDON, April mo news has yet
been received Of the expected battle be-

There is now but q remote possibility Of
the reoapture Of the guns. This, how.
ever, is regarded as quite trifing COM
pared with the political effects Of the
disaster. As the Bloemfontein CORE.
spondent Of The Times remarks, Com.
mandant Olivier's strategy in attacking
Ladybrand and Thaba N'Chu was bold
: and brilliant. Most Of his force is COM
posed Of Free Staters and the advantage
gained by them will have a most dis
turbing effect on the minds Of the Free
State population. The impcssibility Of
effecting complete protection for the
moment to all farmers in the south and
southeast sections of the Free State is
recognized at Bloemfontein. Men who
surrendered under the proclamation Of
Lord Roberts are now being punished
for the reliance they placed the ability
Of the British to protect them.
The Daily Chronicle, whose Cape
Town correspondent joyfully predicted
that the war will be over in three
months, says:
Brilliant Victory Necessary.

In the Free State we need brilliant
success, won on the scene Of our latest
reverse"
1t is announced from Sprinsfontein
that the censorship has again been inn
posed against dispatches. Therefore
developments may be impending.
The British public is reluctant to be-
iieve that an American led the Boer
forces which attacked the convoy. The
Daily Chronicle says:
"Reichmann may be, like some other
Americans, in sympathy with the
Beers. He may even have unofhcially
advised the Boer commandant, although
this would have ceen exceedingly i'm.
proper, but we cannot think he would
take the command without previously
resigning his American commission

WASHINGTON, April AT the cab

was discussed. It is understood the I'D.

the receipts, but in view Of the fact
that to make any move in that direction
probably would prolong the present

line would be advisable at this session.
