MAKING LITTLE PROGRESS

Relief of Mafelking Apparently Still Far
Distant.
LONDON, March 26.-Apparently little
progress is being made toward the re-
lief of Mafeking. A private telegram
from a lieutenant at Kimberley, dated
Wednesday, March 81, announces that
he was on the point of starting for Ma
feking, apparently with the relief col
umn.
General Forester Walker and Prince
Alexander of Teck have left Cape Town
for Bloemfontein.
1t is reported from Ladysmith that
Van Reenans pass bristles with guns.
Mail accounts of the capture of Gen.
eral Cronje just received bring out in
teresting points as to the rapidity with
which Lord Roberts changed his plans
after he found that General Cronje had
escaped from Magersfontein, where it
was originally intended to
Attack or Close in Upon Them.
Lord Kitchener was sent forward to in
tercept him and at the battle Of Paarde-
berg Lord Kitchener seems to have
shown that he is better as an organizer
than as fighter, for it was at his order
that the British infantry repeated the
blunders of other generals attacking in
trenched Beers, who allowed the Brit
ishers to get within a thousand yards
before opening fire. AS the British had
absolutely no cover they lost heavily and
uselessly and were compelled to fall
back momentarily with some amount of
confusion and to withdraw their trans
port to safe distance. This fact makes
a significant commentary upon the
rumors that have been in circulation Of
some GOODNESS between Lord Kitchener
and Lord Roberts, which is said to have
accounted for the former being sent to
Prieska to suppress the rebellion.

MINES AT FRANKFORT.

Kentucky Officers Have a Talk on the
Situation.
FRANKFORT, KY, March 26.-The Re.
publican adjutant general, Collier, has
denied that mines were being laid
around the arsenal and capitol grounds,
and in an explanatory communication
to the Democratic assistant adjutant
general, Murray, General Collier said
that some indiscreet men at the arsenal
had dug trenches and made a pretense
of laying mines to create a sensation,
but the work was entirely without the
sanction or knowledge of General Col
ier, and the men engaged have been
sharply reprimanded.
