EARLY AFRICAN WAR NEWS
ROBERTS MAY ADVANCE ON PRE-
 TORIA FROM TWO DIRECTIONS.
No Mafeking Relief Tidinas-COmmnnd- ant Olivier Evacuatcs RouxvlIIe and Goes Toward Kroonssadt, Where President Steyn Is.
f fTidinas-Commnnd-

London, March 19, 2.15 D. m.-Neither the advance by way of Fourteen Streams, nor Colonel Plumer's move- ment has yet resulted in bringing news of Mafeking's relief From Bloemfon- tein and Natal there are no important developments, and public interest re- mains centered in Colonel Baden Powel's force, undistracted by events of greater military importance.
 However it appears likely that the converging of the troops toward Ma licking indicate a much more serious purpose than merely it's relief. Judging from Lord Methuen's presence at War rentown and the capture of the near by passage of the Vaal at Fourteen Streams, Lord Roberts meditates an advance in Force on Pretoria by way of Rustenburg This might start either from Fourteen Streams or Klerksdorp, and would probably coin eide with an advance via Bloemfontein and Natal. Thus Lord Methuen may be given the chance to redeem his repu- tation, as has been done with General Gatacre.
 Commandant Olivier has accomplish ed another step in his retreat from northern Cape Colony, evacuating Rouxville and going toward Kroon- stadt, where President Steyn is.
