LONDON, April 17.-Lord Roberts has
spread his net far and wide to catch the
adventurous commanders that have been
making mischief in the southeastern
part of the State. The net has not yet
been drawn i'll, but at the headquarters
OF Lord Roberts the impression exists
that the power of the Beers is decreas-
ing.
A Daily News correspondent has them
flying to the southeast; Standard cor
respondent reports them fleeing north
ward; u Daily Telegraph correspondent
says that some are going north and
Others south, while a Morning Post rep
resentative says it is not known what
the Beers are doing. Evidently the feel
ing at Bloemfontein is to the effect that
the dispositions of Lord Roberts will en-
able him to concentrate a large force at
any place cn short notice. The Beers,
aware OF this, are supposed to be chiefly
thinking of retreat.
The Investment of Wepener, accord
ing to special dispatch from Bloen-
fontein, has been abandoned. Accord
ing to q Bethany dispatch, the Beers
are unable to retreat northward because
the British strongly hold all roads.
Diverse reports come from Natal, one
asserting that the Beers have retired
beyond the Biggarsburg range and an
other saying that some of them are
close to Ladysmith.
London waits confidently for almost
immediate favorable news Distrust ex-
lists, however, as to any rapid continue
GUS advance toward Pretoria, chiefly on
account Of the lack Of horses, many of
which die from long voyages. A letter
from the Cape says the three days

quence Of these hardships. Despite the

Washington, Aug. s.-While there is
talk of the ~peaceable action of the
United States government in the Chi
nese matter, and some discussion of the
possibility of an extra session of con-
gress to deal with the whole situation.
1t is very likely that nothing will be
done until additional information is
received from China. The tenor of the
messages SEN to Consul General Good
now, and which he is expected to COM
municate to the Chinese authorities
was such as to necessitate an answer
at once. The authorities here are now
awaiting that reply. 1t is stated that
President Mckinley will not return to
Washington until next week, when
he will be accompanied by Mrs. Me-
klnley. As to the possibility of an ex-
ira session of congress, it was said by a
prominent official that such a step wa
improbable. The situation. he said,
is one of rescue, and were congress in
session now, it could not get addition
al troops to China in time to partici-
pate in the entrance to Pekin.
