The French Military Expert Adviser to the
Beers Who Has Been Killed.
the afternoon of April 8, I ordered Gatacre
to proceed from Springfontein, his present
quarters, to Reddersburg. with all possible
speed, and I detached the Cameron High
landers hence to Bethany. He arrived at
Reddersburg at 1890 Wednesday morn

news Of the missing detachment. There
can be no doubt the whole party has been
made prisoners"
Information Held Back.
London, April S.-Not a word regard

been allowed to come through except
the dispatch of Lord Roberts. 1t is,
therefore, impossible to form any no.

railway between Bloemfontein and
Springfontein. If it. could thus be
spirited away, how. is Lord Roberts to

A correspondent of the Morning Post

port that increased precautions are be.
ing taken in %patrolling the railway.
