ments. Extensive experiments at the

Last stand in the TransvanL.
Continuing, the special says that high
authority in Bloemfontein declares that i.
the event of the repulse of Free State
forces, the latter will retire towards the
Transvaal and, united with their brethre.
there, maintain the struggle to the last.
The Boer casualties at Colenso during
the week ending February % are reported
to be 81 men killed and 1870 wounded.
Next Move in Doubt,
London, March 6.-There are now
practically three British armies in the
field, one in the Free State, one in Cape
Colony and one in Natal All that is
known about the first and most important
is that it is in close touch with a BODY
OF Beers, estimated to the number of
about 5000 men. Speculation as to the
direction and method of Roberts advance
into the Free State is quite worthless, so
carefully are the plans concealed.
In Cape Colony.
In Cape Colony General Brabant and
General Clements command two horns of
the army, while Gatacre holds the main
Boer force in check. Gatacre and Glenn
ents will probably combine and advance
on Bloemfontein with Brabant, guarding
the right flank with the mobile colonials.
This movement will be subsequent to Sc
curing line of communication along the
lines of the Free State railroads, which.
according to the latest dispatches, seems
almost accomplished.
Relief of Mafeking Comes Next.
AS incident to the British main objec-
tive, which at least is clearly outlined to
be Pretoria, the relief of Mafeking by
force from the south may be expected
any day, Colonel Plumer's force on the
north seeming incapable of accomplish
ing it.
The unexpected activity of the Cape
Dutch and the reported likelihood of fight
ing between them and the Basutos aided
by other tribes having a grudge against
the Beers, is regarded as rather ominous.

B0ERs ARE IN FULL RETREAT.
Gave Up neutrality-suspicious. Being
ReuRired.

RSpAAES0s
London, March THE Beers in north
ern Cape Colony are in full retreat to the
Orange Free State.
The possession of Stormberg puts Gen
eral Gatacre in railroad communication
with General Clements at Colesberg, for,
though the Beers partially wrecked the
railroad, it is understood it can be quickly
repaired, and thus the entrance of addi-
tional British troops into the Free State
will be facilitated. From Osfontein, where
Roberts is opposed to good sized body
of Beers, there is still no news except re-
ports of minor skirmishes.
The position gained by General Brabant
at Dordrecht is reported to be exceedingly
strong. According to the Times CORE
spondent, the Beers numbers alone en-
abled them to retreat from Dordrecht
practically unhindered. He also reports
violation of white flag by the Beers and
says they deliberately fired at close range
on stretcher party.
White Leaving Ladysmith.
General Whites garrison has begun to
leave Ladysmith and is arriving at the
Moot river camp, where the troops will re-
main several days, after which they will
go farther south. They are emaciated
and exhausted, and say the road to Co.
lenso presents scenes that exceed in horror
those depicted in Dante's Inferno. Dead
men and animals are lying mutilated and
putrefied in the trenches formerly occupied
by the Beers, filling the air with a sicken-
ing stencil.
In cases where hurried burials had been
attempted the rains have washed the earth
away, and out of the earth stick CHASTITY
legs and arms of the dead burghers.
Free State viii BE Abandoned.
A dispatch from Osfontein says that ac-
cording to the Boer prisoners an import
ant British success will cause President
Steyn to flee to Pretoria, leaving a pro-
visional government at Bloemfontein,
which is likely to make peace overtures,
those Free Skaters not in favor of peace
trekking toward the Transvaal and help
ing to make a stand, which most of the
British military critics now point out will
constitute the most difficult and deciding
feature of the war.
The recent rains have afforded Roberts
good grass and copious supplies have
reached him. News of his advance is
eagerly awaited.
