1t is from the western field that
more definite statements come. Large
operations are apparently about to be-
gin. Gen. French, who has now re-
turned to RenSburg from his confer
ence with Lord Roberts, has sent what
is described as an overwhelming force
of infantry to seize Norval's Point.
This is where the railway, before it
was destroyed, crossed the Orange
river and connected with the Free
State trunk line to Bloemfontein.
Norval's Pont is 10 miles north OF
Colesburg and 25 miles from Gen.
French's headquarters at Rensburg.
The Beers at Colesburg have been in
danger of being surrounded by the
largely reinforced and extending line
of the British. An occupation OF
Norval's Pont in force would presum'
ably render Colesburg untenable.
The Beers are showing great activ'
ity in the Naaupoort and Colesbere
districts. Many of the guns hitherto
facing Lord Methuen are believed t(
have gone to Norvals Pont. The Bfi
tish therefore, may find formidable
bodies of Beers there.
The eighth division of 10, 900 mef
is still available to send.

London, Feb. 6,-rMilitary opinion
in London continues to assume from
very slender materials. that Gen. Bull
Ter is again throwing his army against
the Boer works. A retired general,
Sir William Henry Green whose dis
tinguished career gives weight to his
opinion, thinks that Sen. Boller, with
25, 900 men, is making wide detour
to the west and north in order to
avoid the toughest parts of the coun-
try. AS Gen. Butler must have some
thousands of wagons, Sir William
Green points out that the advance
would necessarily be slow.
No authentic word is at hand save
that the war Office reatlirmed orally tC
newspaper inquirers at a late houl
that it could not confirm the reported
advance. There the Natal situation
rests.
