Boers Concentrating Not Far From

London, March 3l.--The Beers are
concentrating In force about Is miles
north Of Bloemfontein, in the rear of
Glen, and Lord Roberts is sending for
ward troops TO engage them. The
Seventh infantry division and part OF
General French's cavalry have been
sent up TO join the Fourteenth brigade,
and the two cavalry regiments that are
holding Glen and its environs. Ii does
not seem possible that the Beers will
give serious battle In the fairly open
country north Of Glen. Still their evi-
dent strength indicates more than q

In small affairs the Beers are daring.

camp at Warrenton, Wednesday, but
moved out Of range that night. Yester-
day two British guns enfiladed the
Boer trenches. quieting their Mausers.
Lord Metheun and the forces that had
been operating in the Barkiy district
have been recalled to Kimberley by
Lord Roberts.
Dispatches from Maseru assert that
the Beers who returned from Lady.

They were spoken by the steamer Eric,

The men in the boat stated that the
Cleveland, when they left her, was

OF Maui. The little boat had travelled

that must have required six days, 90
that the Cleveland must have moved q

About two years ago the Cleveland
met with a similar accident between
San Francisco and Puget Sound. After
being abandoned by her crew she went
ashore ON Vancouver Island.
During the civil war the Cleveland

of the strained relations between the

lied and placed aboard the ship for

claims, by the order of ths president of

from his person. He was escorted TO
Port Lima and placed aboard the His
