London. April e. When 1t is borne In
mind that! all the dispatches from the
front are severely censored, there Is lite
tie in the news to bring satisfaction to-
England. Assurances that nothing need
ba feared even IL the railways apdstel-s
egraphs are cut and Bloemfontein isol-
ated, together with the news that the
ladies and other civilians are being or
dered away, do not augur we'll.
There are rumors from Cape Town.
|tthat the telegraph wires were already
cut yesterday, and also that the hussars
who were sent to the reAef of the Royal
irish rifles are also missing, altho prob
ably these are the outcome of Boer ex-i
aggerations, designed TO encourage the
burghers.
The attempt Of Gen. Colviile to catch
the Boer leaders in conference at Reith-
fontein failed probably, as usual, be-
cause Of the lack OF cavalry. The result
of these serious checks to the British
arms Is that the whole Free State is up
again and that the Beers are full OF ac-
Stiyity over the entire field.
The Beers are boasting that the Coles
berg and Stor1nberg commandos, nuns
bering 5000, with ten cannon and $50
wagons, have gotten safely thru. thus
