1t is quite clear that Gen. Butler
will not try anything large in the
future, as he is to lose Sir Charles
Warren and the latter's men, who
have been ordered to join Lord Rob-

office that Lord Roberts, notwithstand-
ing the necessity of garrisoning his
depots. will be abe to operate con-
stantly increasing force until by the
time the Transvaal frontier is reached
he will have 10000 troops. His tele-
grams dealing with n0n-essentials are
taken to mean that he is up to some
mischief, as his apparent inactivity
usually spells uncommon activity.
