bOTHA AVOIDED (ROHJ['5 hI5TAkt
He Appreciated the Perils of Delaying
the Retreat British Attempt
to Corner Beers Failed by
Twenty-FOur Hours.

New York, May 1.-The Suns
military expert this morning
says:
at is now definitely acknowl-
edged that the attempt to corner
the Beers southeast of Bloem-
fontein failed by twenty-four
hour 5. General Botha having APP
preciated much more rapidly
than General Cronie did at Ma
gersfontein the perils of too pro
longed a delay in making good
his retreat. The fatigue endured
by British troops in their fruit
less pursuit of the Beers is suff-
ciently indicated in the state
ment that they will remain at
Thaba N'Chu a few days to recu-
perate.
'In the meantime the British
are to form Il strong Gordon
across the country east of the
railway to Lady brand, close TO
the Basuto border, to prevent a
repetition of the last incursion.
thus drawing many men from
the main advance. On the whole
there has not been much gain on
the British side since the occu-
patton of BlOemfontein.
"The stories of Boer discour-
agement are again appearing,
and they are said to have been
advised by the European govern
ments to sue for peace. Why
they should do so, with only a
small portion of the territory of
one of them occupied by the en-
emy, and their resources not yet
exhausted, is not very clear.
They are under no allusion as to
the intentions of the British gov
ernment, and, so far as known,
have not been encouraged by
direct promises of intervention
on the part of any foreign gov
ernment. The conditions to which
they will have to submit are al
ready well known, and the Beers
have found them such that they
long ago concluded that there
was nothing left but resistance
to the last. There is, therefore
no probability of an early cessa.
ton of resistance on their part.
"The Boer army is well led
and shows no sign of abandon
ing the struggle. It's generals
have recovered from the panic
caused by Paardeberg, and have
demonstrated their ability to i'm
pede the advance of the British
army and harass it on the ianb
without exposing their comman
dos to serious risk of capture.
