The News Came Like a holt from .

London. June I2.-The news that the
shutting off of Lord Roberts com
munication with the outer world was
accompanied by such serious loss,
came like a bolt from a comparatively
clear sky. Ia London. until the news
came. il was thought that the de-
struction of sic railroad was accom-
plished by Free Skaters. who were
avoiding rather than annihilating the
British detachments stationed AT the
point attacked. Nor are Gen. Forester
Walkers vague statements regarding
Methuen and the situation at Hebron
looked upon as reassuring. The Beers
appear TO be in sufficient strength to
completely separate all tho British
forces north and south Of line
stretching some 80 miles tetwecn
Hoodcval and Hebron. Mcthuen's
march upon the latter place seems
somewhat in the nature of a movement
| for the relief OF Colville. The only
British officer left at Roodevai appears
10 be the doctor in charge or the hos.
pital. which is full Of wounded.
What has happened to the troops
Immediately north Of Roodc,ai is still
| a matter Of conjecture.

the situation is far more serious thar
any one imagined.
