The BOer War,

Gen. Roberts failure to intercept the
Beers who are retiring northward from the
siege OF Wepener Is, of course, a cause OF
regret to the British But 1t by no means
indicates that his campaign in eastern Free
State has not been of benefit TO him The
TANKS of his army are now well protected
covering virtually the entire breadth of the
Free States. as far north as Kimberley on
the west and Thaba NChu on the east.
This means that his line of communications
southwark is guarded as it has not been
heretofore since his occupation of Bloem-
fontein. There was a time shortly after
the advance to the Free State capital. when
Roberts rear was in serious danger. The
isolation Of Dalgetty at Wepener illustrated
this condition of affairs plainly, and the
relief of that place is in itself a distinct
achievement, even though the trap to cap-
ture the investing Beers did not close in
season. 1t was absolutely Indispensable
that the British commander should secure a
clear country In his rear before moving in
mass northward to attack the Beers be-
tween him and Pretoria. The time occupied
in efrecting this condition has been well
spent it Is believed. In recuperating the
forces and recruiting the quartermaster
supplies and the means of transport The
lack OF horses has bothered Roberts. ac-
cording to occasional dispatches, more than
he has been willing to admit officially. But
the expectation l. that he believes himself
ready for the long delayed advance. His
rapid movement to Bloemfontein led many
to expect that he would continue his sweeu
northward and make short work of the
then demoralized Boer armies. But. like a
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1900-04-28

conservative commander. operating In
hostile country, with an army that required
constant communications with the main
enemy to recuperate and concentrate and.
doubtless. to intrench rather than to risk
a disaster through needless advance
while the foe was most vulnerable. Were
he operating against more definitely or
ganiZed and less mobile foe. he could
proba bly, have safely risked a rush north
ward after capturing Cronje's army and
the Free State capital. But the slippery.
ununiformed Beers have habit of trans
forming themselves in short order from de-
termined soldiers INTO peaceful looking
farmers. Entire commanders have been
dispersed in this manner within a few hours
after encountering an emergency, leaving
the British forces nothing to fight. Under
these conditions it would have been doubly
hazardous for the British to force their way
into the north. only perhaps to find them
selves suddenly cut Off by the reassembling
Beers, through whose scattered numbers
they had made progress for distance I'M
moiested. 1t Is assumed from the recent re-
ports that Roberts has now succeeded in
driving out the hostile Beers from the Free
State lying south of Bloemfontein and that
he will shortly begin to report a series of
advances which are virtually certain to
lead before long to more or less decisive
engagement somewhere in the vicinity of
kroenstad. which is reported to have been
heavily intrenched by the Beers.

The ease of the governors manner Of ar
rival Is derided as a cheap attempt to pose
for the lower classes. The absence Of the
very features which were heralded so lately
as characterizins an obnoxious program is
condemned as impolitic
This state Of things illustrates fairly well
what is to be expected throughout the sum-
ner as a result of the requirements of the
campaign An appeal Is to be made at every
point to the prejNdices. ignorance and mar
rowness Of the people instead Of to their
common sense. their patriotism, their pride.
The decent acts of honest administrators in
the newly acquired territories are certain
to be distorted and ridiculed. Their we'll
meaning efforts to evolve order out Of the
chaos Of a change of sovereignty will &c
proclaimed as blunders. The calm Of the
rev members of the American system will
be described by watchful correspondents as
the sullenness of despair or the angry calm
preceding revolt.
In short, the season for taking, misrepre-
senting. distorting and general craftiness in
campaign reporting is about to open with
an abundance of material never before
equaled in the history of American politics.
The demand upon American credulity will
soreiy test the nerves Of the nation.

A few days ago the air was vocal with
the criticisms which were being leyeled st
the administration for its design to tmpre.s
the people Of Porto Rico by planning n
grand spectacular entrance of Governor
Allen upon his arrival at the capital. Here
showed the '-imperialistic" tendencies OF the
President. Gilt and fine trappings were to
cover deep-laid policy Of oppression. The
new governor was to pose before the simple
peasants of the island as a creature with
royal prerogattves. They We're to be awed.
Governor Allen arrived yesterday on the
scene of his new duties. He was cla,s
soberly in blue serge and white duck, with a
straw hat He rode in plain state to his
new quarters. bowed genially to the people,
shook hands economically with those he
met, and in general carried himself as
would the average American executive off,
Ger in charge Of his jurisdiction And now
those same critics who were so recently pro-
Claiming program of offensive ostentation
on the part of the new governor are bew all
ing the fact that the opportunity was lost
to show the natives of Porto Rico the dig
nifty of the American rule.
The affair is described in headlines and
side comments as a iasco because of It's
simplicity. The quiet OF the occasion is
attributed to the sullenness of the people.
