ROBERTS ON h[ MOVE
British Generals Forces Again Take
Up the Advance on Boer
Positions.
Hunters Division Thought to Be
Near Helpmakaar Where Fight
ing is Reported.
Little Known of Roberts Plans
Reported Relief of Mafeking is
Uncontirmed.

London, March 1o.-The only import
ant change in the general situation in
South Africa indicated by the news re-
ceived up to noon today was that Bull
Ter is again on the move. The news
comes in dispatch from the Boeri
camp at Biggersberg, dated Thursday,
March s: Twelve thousand British
are threatening the Boer positions from
the direction of Helpmakaar, while 9
party of British scouts We're cncoun-
tered at Waschbank March s.
This force is probably Hunters di-
vision and ii is considered quite posi-
BILE that an attempt will be made to
traverse the neck of Lululand into the
Transvaal, thus effectlng the double
purpose of outfianking the Beers at
Biggersberg and threatening Vryheid
and Utrecht. The war Office is unable
to confirm the rumors Of the relief of
Mafeking.

ROBERTS SILENT AGAIN.

No Serious Contests Expected TIL
Transvnnl Is Reached.
London, March 1O.-Once more Lord
Roberts has relapsed into silence re-
specting his operations and as result
rumors and speculation fill the air 1t
is believed by some that the Beers
morale is seriously impaired and their
whole campaign disorganized.
BY many doubts are expressed as to,
whether the Orange Free Staters.
realizing the magnitude and spirit and
efficiency of the British army and see
ing their own territory oyerrun by the
invaders. will consent to retire across
the vaal river to engage in the final
struggle for the defense of the Trans
vaal. Other critics point to the obsti-
macy of the Dutch race and believe the
Beers are likely to contest the British
advance until Johannesburg and Pre-
toria have fallen.
All observers of the war drama, how
ever, unite in predicting that the en-
gagement in the Orange Free State will
take place many miles northeast of the
present position of Lord Roberts army.
1t is pointed out that the further the
British general is compelled to advance
the longer becomes his line of COM
munication, the larger the number OF
men he must detach to defend and the
fewer the troops he has available TO
throw against the Boers.
People in London find it difficult to
understand why Presidents Kruger and
Steyn urged the Beers on Wednesday
to fight to maintain their position. II
il variously estimated that the Boer
force numbered from 5000 to $1,000 men.
and even ii the highest estimate is corr
rect it is Impossible to see how an in
trenched army with its flank turned,
could hope to stand its ground and es-
cape the fate that overlook Cronje. II
is universally conceded that the posi-
tion had become untenable. a quick
retreat was the only salvation.
Presidents Kruger and Steyn have
put forward their iirst overtures look
ing to an ending of the war, but theii
efforts are certain to be futile, mas
much as they insist that the preserva-
ton of the independence of the two re-
publics be gained first OF all.
Judging from the temper of the Brit
ish people. as displayed recently. ant
from opinions of the press, there is bu
one possible conclusion namely, th'
complete subjugation of the Beers. thu
taking away of the independence of tn,
two republics and the incorporation o.
their territory into crown colony.
