N4FEKING' S HOPE DEFERRED

London. March a ! a m.-The retirement Of
Colonel Plumer's force TO Crocodile Pools which
is fully confirmed by the War Office and by
.sTtues" correspondent to-day. leaves the relief
OF Mafeking entirely dependent upon the ad-
vance OF the column from Kimberley The tao
ties Of the Boer commander were excellent He
did not allow Plumer 10 make too close an ap-
proach 10 Mafezrg, but drove back his out
posts and advance guard and then attacked the
British camp. Colonel Plumer, finding himself
IN the presence Of a superior force. retreated
from Lobatsi norrhward. His losses were slight.
The Boer commander having prevented the
raising Of the siege, can now return 10 Mafek-
ing and resume operations there. Colonel P1u-
ner could not have supplied Baden-PowelIs men
with provisions and medical stores, and hence
his failure 10 reach the town is not important
and does not involve a serious reverse. have
me mgnesr authority for the statement that no
serious apprehenEions are entertained in official
circles here respecting the fate Of Mafeking. I
told that Il is only a question Of two three
weeks diet on horse meat and mules. since the
town cannot be taken by assault, and the garri-
son can keep itself alive in one way or another
until the relief column arrives from the south.
a report that the Boer position at Fourteen
Streams has been turned by the arrival of
hanking column at Chrsttana IS not confirmed,
but IL is probable that the Kimberley Light
Horse and the battery operating against the en-
erny's position are marking time and threaten
ing the Beers with frontal attack until the
main column IS prepared 10 move against them
eastward. General Roberts is likely TO send a
strong column 70 Mafeking as soon as adequate
arrangements can be made for the transport.
There is the usual sheaf Of dispatches from
the Free State and Natal. but there Is little
grist in the chaff- Boer rumors that General
Gatacre has been entrapped are contradicted by
detailed accounts Of his rapid marches and cease
less activity. The Boer plans Of defence in the
northern section Of the Free State are subject TO
more or less plausible conjecture, but the best
military experts here are now convinced that
LORD Roberts with his greatly superior force

Strongest positions which can be found on the

ior Is the concentration Of the Dutch forces
south Of The Vaal River. for they are assuming

MORE REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION ABOUT
METHTEN AND COUGH.


London. March 23.-In the House of Commons
to-day John Gordon MacNeil, Irish Nationalist,
Member for South Donegal, again showed an in
satiable desire for information in regard 70 the
battle Of Magersfontein and Lord Methuen's rela-
tions with his officers and affairs in Kimberley,
but the Parliamentary Secretary Of the War
Office Mr.. Wyndham. parried all the questions
He said he knew nothing confirming the sugges-
ton that General Wauchope had raised obiec-
tions 10 Lord Methuen's plan of battle. and
added that no Investigations had been proposed
into the alleged differences between Cecil Rhodes
and Colonel Kekewich. Indeed. he declared, the
War Office was not aware that the latter's an
thority had in any way been questioned The
only positive answer given by Mr.. Wyndham 10
the interrogations was to the effect that neither
Dumdums nor anything in the Of ex-
panding or explosive bullets had been used by
the British troops in South Africa.
In regard to the trouble between Colonel
Bloomfield Cough and Lord Methuen, Mr Wynd-
ham said that the formers command expired
March II and that his return home previous TO
that date was due 70 Lord Methuen's action. An
investigation into this matter, he declared, would
be held as soon as witnesses would return from
