1899: S6.7 on April 1, 1898, and ten-year
average of s2.S While the ravases of the
Hessian fly in Ohio, Michigan and In

LONDON NERVOUS.

They are Uneasy Over Reports OF boer
Victories.
LONDON, April lis A M.-But thai
the War Office has issued no news fro ON
Lord Roberts during the last three day:
there would be little disposition TO place
credence in the Boer reports OF anoenei
British disaster The unexpected rally-
Ding of the Free State commandoes, now
ever, leaves the public in a nervous con
dition, fearing every thing
Dispatches from Pretoria as late as
Monday did not mention any further boer
victory On the contrary. they said all
the con1nrandoes were quiet, and as Lord
Roberts has hitherto never failed prompt
Iy to report mtschances as well as sue
cesses. or to allow the newspaper cor
RESPONDENTS to report them until some
confirmation is received. there is justilIca-
ton for regarding the AIerlSatsfontein ru-
mor as only another account of the
Redersburs affair. At the same time
Beers reports have 50 often proved cor
rect that the greatest anxiety viii be
felt.
No further news has been received Of
fighting either at iWepener or at Natal.
Boer reports seem to indicate that Lord
Methuen is advancing from Boshof to-
ward Hoopstadt.
It is bold and apparently dan
serous move, since. although it turns the
right flank of the Boer position at Brand
fort, it puts Lord iNIethuen's force be-
tween whatever garrison there may be at
Bloemhof. in the Transvaal. and the
Brandfort force.
