The Beers seemingly are pursuing
the course commended by the
st-ategists and are concentrating
to resist the British nain army.
Various messages from correspond
ents with Lord Roberts report that
the enemy are increasing continually
on his front, extending, as one COR
respondent wires, eight miles, and,
as another says. lS miles The
lowest estimate of their number
gives the Beers from 5000 TO 10000
men, with similar bodies moving
north and south of the British lines

have mounted eight guns 90 the tops
