London, April 26.-5 A. Nit is now
apparent that the chances Of Lord
Roberts catching the retreating Beers
in net are very slender the Beers
have everywhere retired at the first
pressure of the British advance and
the hope that Gen. Rumble would be
able to induce them to remain at De
Vets dorp until they had been forced
to fight or to surrender has been dis
appointed. No attempt was made to
pursue the commanders retiring from
Wepener. Everything now depends
upon the progress of Gen. French's
cavalry hrigades, but they are entering
very difficult. billy and practically
unknown country. The cavalry have
already had 4 long march over heavy
ana sandy roads and nothing is known
regarding the condition of the horses.
In any case. it is now race between
the fedcrals and the forces of Gen.
French and Gen. Hamilton.
The sloWneSS of the recent move
meuts Of the British infantry and
previous experience Of the ability Of
the Beers To move rapidly with guns
ana baggage over their own country.
lead to belief that Lord Roberts en-
vclnrng operations viii fail and will
have to be repeated further north. At
the most he will perhaps capture some
Hocr guns and baggage and hurry the
rctrcatinE burghcrs.
Considerable results have been at
tanned in the relief Of Wepener and in
Inc clearing of the southeastern corner
Of the Free State Of Beers; but the
Hoer army. whatever its strength, has
still to be dealt with.
Besides the casualties among the
men. the Boer bombardment of Col.
Dalgcty's position wrought great
havoc among the cattle and horses.
The garrison could have held out for
another fortnight, but it is in no con-
dition to render much assistance in
pursuing the Beers.
There is little news from other uar-
tiers. The inhabitants of Mafeking are
now on a daily ration of two pints OF
soup and two quarts Of "skilly"

Post says: The British army deploy-

suffice to compel their retreat Gems
