Beers Pin To HarasS Roberts.

London. April 5.-5 a. NIT looks to-
day as though the Beers had conceived
the audacious plan of attempting TO IN
vest Lord Roberts at Bloemfontein, or at
least to endeavor to delay his north
ward advance by harrassng the British
lines of communication.
ON his side Lord Roberts is concentrat-
ing his forces and preparing to take every
advantage of the bold but risky tactics
of the enemy. lie is not likely to strike
at any of their forces until he Is certain
of delivering n crushing blow.
The situation. i'm inc absence of any
official dispatch from Lord Roberts. Is
both mystifying and interesting. There
is little doubt that Lord Roberts Is ham
pered by the necessity for remounts and
transports, and the loss of the convoy
guns and all of Colonel Broadwoods $ bag
gage was serious matter. The Beers
are now trusting To what they believe 10
be their superior mobility.
The special correspondents at the front
are now denouncing Lord Roberts's pol
icy of leniency toward the Free Staters.
and are calling for an abandonment OF
that policy.
A special dispatch announces that Ma
feking was still besieged but safe on

EXHIBITION HOTEL, PARIS, July, 8
Paris does not impress me as London
did, perhaps because saw London fret,
and when we landed in France we slept
in the car most of the way to Paris; all
but papa; and it kept him busy reading
all the French signs.
The houses in the country are all
pretty, but like England the better.
