Rundle's Column Heavily Engaged
Tine Beers Elaborate Prepara-
tions I'm south African War.

London, April 23.-It is not
difficult to see through the Gen.
sored message from South Afri-
ca that not only has heavy fight
ing occurred in the Free State
since Saturday morning, but
that important work has been
done by Lord Roberts of which
London is not yet aware. The
fact which presents itself most
prominently, however, is that
Gen. Rundle's column for the
relief of the garrison at Wepener
has met with serious resistance
and difficulty.
There was just the usual Sun
day medley of ominous rumors
and confused conjectures from
the theater of war yesterday,
with a heavy budget of mail cor
reSpondence on minor incidents
of the period of mastery inacti-
vity. The most serious news
was the evidence from Boer
sources that formidable prepara-
tiOns have been made to resist
the advance of Gen. Roberts
army. The Beers arc vaguely
reported to have mounted 69
guns at Kroonstadt and to have
constructed a circuit of defenSes
eight miles long around Pretoria.
1t is foregone conclusion that
Pretoria will be vigorously de-
Tended, but the experts are not
prepared to accept evidence
from a Boer source that KrOOn
stad has been strongly fortified,
although the wisest among them
hope that the news IS true. The
place offers strong advantages
for defence, but Gen. Roberts,
with his vastly superior force,
can turn the position by either
flank and compel its evacuation,
with a good chance of inllicting a
decisive defeat which will great
ly impair the Boer resources for
repelling an attack on Pretoria.
BOER RESOURCES.
The Beers are reported as
mastering every man capable of
carrying a rifle, and as taking
their ambulance corps into the
fighting line. They need all
these reserves in order to Justify
current estimates of their avail
able force. They are alleged tC
have from 5000 to 10000 men in
the district between DeWet's
Drop and Wepener, where heavy
fighting was reported on Friday
and Saturday. They are also
described as occupying a line
ten miles long in Upper Natal
and as shelling the British posi-
tions at Elandslaagt on Satur
, day with undated spirits. The
. motive of this activity is no
clear but it is surmised that the
Beers are anxious to prevent the
transfer of British forces from
Natal to Bloemfontein and Bos
hof, which apparently is still il
progress.
The Beers have also been ac
tive in front of Gen. Methnel
, and at Fourteen Streams, ant
Mafeking remains under invest
ment. If the elastic estimates o
Boer forces are footed up an az
e gregate is produced which up
+ sets the reasonable deduction
, from the census returns ant
the casualties on the Dutch side
More careful estimates allow 20,
600 Transvaalers and 5000 Ere
Staters for active operations a
around. Experience has show
that in all South African report
: the strength of the Dutch
: grossly exaggerated.
