Will Number Many of the Best Oh
GERS of the English-BOers Ap-
pear to have Big Guns,
LONDON, April 2s.-col. Dulgety is
holding out at wepener. It is reported
that all the Beers have crossed to the
north side of the caledon river.

LONDON, April "a. n. m.-The
strong body of reinforcements which
Lord Roberts sent to assist the relief of
Wepener and to endeavor to envelope
and cut of the Beers from q retreat
northward furnishes further evidence
that the Beers are assembled in much
larger forces around wepener than
had hitherto been supposed, and as the
Times in an editorial this morning, re-
marks: "whatever may be the diff
culties of roads and rains, the Beers
always appear to have guns and some
times big ones, where they want them"
A Boer dispatch dated Thaba Nchu'
April 20, says that n fresh supply of
cannon and ammunition has reached
General Dewet at Jammersburg Drift.
1t also asserts that one OF Colonel Dali
gety's guns has been smashed.
Kurrlefonteln, mentioned in Lord
Roberts message to the war office, is
fifteen miles south of Bloemfontein.
Leeuw Kop is two miles further south.
Apparently the British captured
Paarde Rraal Sunday night. The Beers
evacuated Leeuw Kop during the night,
removing the gun and the British occu-
pied the Kop the next morning.
Beers Position Dangerous.
Although the Beers appear to be Of
ferlng stout resistance to the British
advance, their position is dangerous.
They can scarcely delay further their
retreat northward without lncurring
the risk of being cut off. Usually they
have been well informed regarding the
British plans and they are not likely to
run such a risk. especially as they have
partially accomplished their object In
drawing large forces from Bloemfontein
on long marches and have thereby
delayed the advance on Pretoria.
The Morning Post commenting upon
the difficulty Lord Roberts is expert
encing asserts the wisdom Of nrrang-
ing for a steady flow of reintorcements.
The report that n Boer. commando
was at Frankfort proved to be without
foundation, but evidently there is n
large force opposing Lord Methuen.
