WASHINGTON, Feb. - Acting upon
the Recommendation Of QCartermaster
General LudinGton, the secretary of
war has ordered the establishment Of a
hImonthly transport service between
San Francisco and Manila. This action
ls due to the heavy traffic between the

ship Sherman, which will leave San
Francisco for Manila on the fifteenth or
sixteenth to be followed at regular in
tervals OF Gbout 10 days by the other

The news that Lord Roberts la
succeeded in pushing Gen. French's
force forward and had relieved KIM
berly caused great rejoicing here.
The fact, too, that Lord Roberts
dispatch i dated at Jacobsdal, which
has heretofore been Boer strong
hold, indicates that ne has also been
successful in capturing that position,
which Is a very important one.
The details thus far received are
that French's command of cavalry,
with a strong force Of horse artillery,
left MOdder river sunday for Ram
bam, twelve miles east OF Ensliu,
where the whole division concen-
tTated next day and made rapid
march TO Ri-t river. where Il party
uf Beers contested their passage 10

After some hJUr- Ot -hotli0g Gen.
French'> forces succeeded in driving
the Beers away and crossed the
river.
Tuesday the column continued
the march to Kip RpuG1vai drifts

-agement enSutd.
French shelleG the Beers vigorous
II and forced the passage.
. The EOers precipitateiy retired.
leaving five lIageTS in the hands of
the British, al>O many Cat,Ie and
2hn head of sheep.
The British casualties were only
slight.
The fact that nothirg has been re-
ceIved indicating any serious fl ght-
ing by either Gen. French or Lord
Roberts is taken 10 mean that Gen.
Cronie. upon realizing the strength
and object of Lord Roberts move
ment, has Tetreated.
There iS also a possibility that
CrOnje was at NagerSfOnttiu and
was flanked to the east by French ;
also that the major portion of Cron-
je's Botr forces are low CoOped up
between Methupu'S forces on the
NuddeT river and French : at Kim
berlv. with Roberts on the left II
Jacob-dal and that CrOuje has no
chance To escape to the westward.
Gen. Roberts movement i con-
sidered one of the military wonders
of the world. ~ he only started on
the road to Kimberly last Saturday.
He i being praised to the skies,
but French and Kitchener are not

ener organized the forces and that
French made most brilliant dash,
