REINFORCEMENrs FOR BOTHA.
Attempt to Force Beers From Thata NChu
Will Result in Hot Fighting.

London. May at is difficult to
unrayel the tangled stories coming
from the neighborhood of Thaba
N'Chu, but apparently the British
forces are engaged in a movement
having for its object the hemming
in of the Beers still in that district.
While Generals French and RundIe
are holding the Beers at Thaba
N'Chu, General BroadwOod'S cavalry
has been pushed on Houtnek, in the
hope of intercepting the Federal con-
voys between Ladybrand and Wins
burg. As General Botha has been
reinforced there is every prospect of
sharp fighting. The new scene of OPP
erations and the general movement
of the various columns are taken TO
indicate that Lord Roberts is deploy-
ing his army preparatory to Begin
ming his northern march. 1t now
seems likely that it is the Commander
in-Chiefs intention to advance stimuli
taneousIy from Kimberley, Bloem-
fontein and Ladysmith, with the view
Of preventing the Beers from concen-
trating their forces at any given
point.
A dispatch from Bloemfontein dated
yesterday, chronicles the prevailing
opinion among the townspeopIe there
that the war is not likely to last more
than six weeks, once the British adj
vance begins, but adds that the CORE
spondent has been unable to discover
any ground for his opinion, beyond
the fact that General Darlington has
arrived at the Marandellas base,
whence a flying column will be dis
patched in a directition not made
public.
A dispatch from Pretoria gives the
text of President Kruger's proclama-
tion expelling British subjects from
the Transvaal. 1T says:
'As numerous burghers insist on
the removal Of the British and as the
Government is desirous of complying
with the wishes of the burghers and
others favorable to the republic, all
Britishers residing in the district and
town Of Pretoria, and the Witwater

These Movements viii be Made simultaneously
TO Prevent the Beers From Concen'rat-
ing at Any One Point. Botha Re-
ceives Reinforcements.

London. May 3.-(4:10 a. m.)-The
immediate objective of Lord Roberts
is to establish a line of British posts
from one frontier of the Free State
to the other at right angles with the
railway, thus preventing Boer raids
southwark
1T is essential, therefore that the
Beers should be expelled from the
rugged Thaba N'Chu district and be
forced to retire to Ladybrand.
As the result of the desultOry fir
ing Monday and Tuesday the Beers
were pushed back a few miles, but
nothing decisive appears to have been
yet attained.
The Beers continue to follow their
harrassing tactics. One well horsed
commando. operating in the neigh
borhood of Sannas-Post. interferes
with the British convoys going from
Bloemfontein to Thabu NChu. The
enemy nearly captured a convoy Tues
day. but they were driven off after
a brisk fight.
preparations for an advance con-
tinue at Kimberley. Sir Alfred Mil
ner has written TO the Mayor of KIM
berley. assuring him that the relief
Of Mafeking has not ceased TO occu-
py his attention and that of the mill
tary authorities and that nothing will
be left undone to raise the siege at
the earliest possible moment.
The British garrisons along the
railway 10 Warrenton have been
strengthened, and supplies are going
forward. A mounted force has been
at Barkley West, the Beers having
occupied Windsorton. \ thousand
Beers threaten the communication
between Boshof and Kimberly.
AIalala. chief of the Taungs. has in
formed the British that the Beers are
preparing to resist their advance at
Phokawani. twenty miles north of
WarrentOn.
\ correspondent at Lourenzo Mar
que cabled Tuesday that large part
of the investing forces at Mafeking
had been withdrawn. General Butler
continues quiet. The Beers assert
that they are delaying an attack upon
him in the hope that all the horses of
the British will die of horse sickness.
According to a correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph with Lord Roberts,
President Kruger is again asking
peace terms. The departure of the
Boer delegates from Holland for the
United States and what they have
said of their purpose and hopes, draw
British attention to American views

(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, May 2.-Secretary Long
today after conference with the Presi-
dent made public the correspondence
which has taken place between the Navy
Department and Captain Chadwick, re-
specting the published interview in
which the Captain is reported as severely

The Departments action in the case is
a severe reprmand, and it is noteworthy
that it's letter has been made public; a
