The Bloemfontein correspondent OF the
Times. telegraphing Friday. says: EVERY
thing is going satisfactorily. Owing to
the enemy's enterprise a necessity has
arisen for a movement in the southeastern
division; and for strategic reasons. troop
trains have monopolized the railway for a
short period; but the Boer raids are only
what was anticipated as a result of the
halt in our main advance. We in Bloem-
tein are full of great admiration of the
calm front with which headquarters has
received these incidents. Half of the OBJ
ject Of the enemy has failed since Lord
Roberts has refused to be drawn into COM
plications, but has fostered the enemy's
enterprise, making dispositions to check

ing aware that movements of the troops

The Bloemfontein correspondent of the
Morning Post, telegraphing Thursday.
says: '"The enemy have evidently deter
mined to adopt entirely new tactics. Two
columns are known to be moving to the
south of Bloemfontein. They are relying on
Cape carts for transport and are carrying
scarcely any forage and only sufficient
food to meet the immediate requirements of
the convoy. with OK transport following at
a secure distance. The Boer columns are
thus enabled to move almost as quickly
as cavalry.
1T is reported that there are 1900 Beers
to the south of Dewetsdorp. The force ex-
tends from that point to Odendahl. The
burghers who had returned to their farms
are undoubtedly rejoining the enemy.

Of Marlborough to be assistant military
secretary at headquarters"

What Col. Harrison Parker
Has to Say.

Baton Rouge, La, Dec. 4-Thc
State Penitentiary Board to nigh,
decided upon the location OF the two
State convict farms. West Feliciana
will get the cotton farm and Iberia
the sugar farm. The two plantations
Angola and Hope, comprise rbou,
800 acres. They are in a splendid
state of cultivation and are supplied
ami equipped with mules, forage, feed
implements. etc, ready for the Imme
diate reception Of nearly five hundred
State convicts, who next year will cul
tlVate the lands to their fully capaci
ty.
Col. G. Harrison Parker, President
OF the Board Of Cont,oI, to.nigh,
made following statement to a Times.
Democrat reporter:
THE Angola plantation, which We
selected for the cotton plantation, is
located opposite the mouth of Red
river, in the parish OF West Feliciaua.
The total acreage is $500 acres, so
that it will eventually afford room to
work six hundred or seven hundred
men.
"ln relation To the sugar planta
ton, 1 can say that some Of the finest
properties in the State were offered
us. The choice of the Board was.
however, restricted bv the relative
differences in valuation. There was
not so much difference in the advan-
tage Of location. We bought the
Hope plantation, situated 10 Ibena
parish. 1t fronts on the Teche, and
extends back TO the Grand Lake. /.
has upon it about 500 acres OF this
years stubble, and plant cane for 500
acres, so that We will have 1000 acres
of cane to cultivate in 1901. There
are $500 acres 10 the tract. The
mules. farming implements, feed and
forage 60 with the place. 1t has a
sugar house complete, with capacity
OF 400 tons per day, double effect,
vacuum pans. etc. There are three
and half miles Of narrow gauge
railroad on the property, with $50
cars and q steam dummy engine n
hanl them. There is a complete
plant 70: the manufacture of brick
aud tiles, which can he operated to
great advantage, the bayou affording
the means of cheap transportation,
The price paid for this place is only
$4,000, or about the value of the
sugar house. Such 40 opportunity
does not present Itself often.
