Dispatches Indicate That There Is Likely

LONDON; Feb. 6.-Military opinion in
London continues to assume from very
slender materials that General Butler is
again throwing his army against the
Boer works. A retired general, Sir
William Henry Green, whose distin-
guished career gives weight to his opin-
ion, thinks that General Butler, with
$4,000 men. is making wide detour to
the west and north in order to avoid the
roughest parts of the country. AS Gen

No authentic word is at hand save
that the war Office reaffirmed orally to
newspaper inquirers at a late hour that
it could not report the reported advance.
There the situation rests.
It is from the western field that more
definite statements come. Large opera
tlQns are about to begin. General
French, who has now returned to Rens-
berg from his conference with Lord
Roberts, has sent what is described as
an overwhelming force of infantry to
seize Norval's Pont. This is where the
railway, before twas destroyed, crossed
the Orange river and connected with
the Free State line at Bloemfontein.
Norval's Pont is 10 miles north of Coles
burg and 25 miles from General French s
headquarters at Rensberg.
The Beers have been in danger of
being surrounded by the large British
advancing forces. An advance of a
large force would render Colesburg un-
tenable. The Beers are showing great
activity i'll the Nauwpoort and Coles
burg district. Many of the guns hith-
erto facing gGeneral Methuen are be-
ieved to have gone to Norval's Pont.
The British, therefore, may find for
midable bodies of Beers there.
The war Office announces that Is
