LONDON, March 8, S a. m.-
Lord Roberts wired yesterday
morning from Osfontein. and in
the evening from Poplar Grove,
fourteen miles eastward. By an
application of the elementary prin-
ciples of strategy, the Boer posi-
tions, fifteen miles long across his
path, have been emptied, and their
holders have. been obliged to retire
in confusion, consequent upon
hasty withdrawal. Nothing was
done by Lord Roberts to disturb
the symmetry, the deadly ingenu-
ity, of the Boer trenches in front
of him. Fe marched out infantry,
estimated, from the commands
named, at 10000 men, and sent
10000 horsemen and horse artil-
lery, in bold sweep around the
Boer left, whereupon the Boer GEN.
ter and right became untenable.
Fifty British fell when the cavalry
came into contact with the Beers.
The correspondents differ as to the enc
my's strength. The Daily Mails represent
ative thinks the Beers number something
more than 1000. The Daily News man esti-
mates them at 10000. AS these figures come
from observers at headquarters 1t is clear
that Lord Roberts's force was overwhelm-
than 5000 Immediately available. as the
guards brigade reached him from Lord
Methuen Tuesday. Lord Methuen now COM
mands only volunteers and the local forces
at Kimberley. some of whom have gone
toward Mafeking.
The Beers do not yet appear to appreci-
ate the mobility of Lord Roberts's corps,
which was able to strike so swiftly in this
affair that the enemy had to abandon a
camp equipage.
The Standard cautions Englishmen
against ''rising to a height of serene con-
tentment which the actual position does
not Justify" and thus measures the sit
ration: "a large number OF the Beers are
still in the field. They have a wide range
of country over which they can operate.
Although their morale is somewhat dam
aged, IL would be too much to say that
they will not stand again. Indeed. what
We want them to do is to stand again, for
It's only In a real standup fight that we
can infiict those losses which would even-
tually lead the defeated to sue for peace.
Lord Roberts has gained success, but 1t
must not be regarded as signal victory
until we know what damage has been in
ficted and what prisoners have been
taken"
The Dutch rising in the northwestern
districts OF Cape Colony is the only cloud
visible in the sky OF British prospects
The military authorities have decided
that General cronje and the other Boer
prisoners shall be sent Immediately to the
island OF St. Helena. there 10 remain until
the end OF the war. Lord Roberts has
chosen Lord Bathurst. colonel of a militia
regiment at the front. to command the es-
cort TO st. Helena, which was last month
placed in cable communication with Cape
Town and London. 1t is also asserted that
the Cabinet has resolved neither to propose
nor TO entertain proposal at the present
tuncture for an exchange OF prisoners
