LONDON, March 6.-Mafekng is to Se

ready on the way from Kimberley can raise
the siege. This force is described vaguely
as strong The Kimberley Light Horse
is mentioned as component In view of
the fact that the Kimberley Light Horse is
under the control of the De Beers Com
pany, Lord Roberts visit to Kimberley
probably had to do with an arrangement
with Cecil Rhodes to use this company of
troops.
Mr. Rhodes and Col. Kekewich have had
differences of policy, it appears, which did
not end with the relief of Kimberley.
What shall.I. do with him. Col. Keke-
witch Is said. to have wired to Lord Rob-
erts, who halt humorously replied, accord
ing to a story circulated at the clubs, Put

A Cape Town dispatch says strong
force of British, including the Kimberley
Light Horse is marching northward from
Kimberley. 1t Is expected that the cross
ing of the Vaal river will be disputed at
Fourteen Streams, where the railway bridge
has been wrecked.
Spenser Wilkinson, in the Morning Post,
says: 1T is hardly likely, after previous
places, that the relief force left at Kimber-
ley for Mafeking will try to cross at Four
teen Streams, seeing that it can as easily
cross at Barkly or some other point, and
1T is impossible that any Boer force in the
neighborhood is large enough to guard the
whole stretch of the river between Four
teen Streams and Barkly.''

from Mafek.ng. under date of February

Martial Law in Cane COLONY

LONDON, March GA dispatch from
Cape Town yesterday says: Sir Alfred Nil
ner has issued the following proclamation:
Whereas the 'enemy's forces have invad-
ed the districts of Prieska Kenhardt, Brits-
town and Barkly West, and whereas many
British subjects have taken up arms, and
whereas 1t is necessary to repel invasion
and suppress rebellion: now, therefore.
martial law is hereby proclaimed in these
districts"
The unexpected activity OF the Cane
Dutch and the reported likelihood of fight
ing between them and the Basutos. aided
by other tribes having a grudge against
the Beers, are regarded here as rather
omnous.
Boer raiders are uncornmonly active In
the northwestern section OF Cape Colony,
where they are stirring up the Dutch.
