London. March l, a. m.-Lord Kitchener has
contrived to celebrate the anniversary of
MaJuba by bringing to a close a remarka BILE
drive Of Boer guerillas against strongly held
blockhouse line. The results were announces b,,
Mr.. BrodriCk in the Commons with an air of
satisfaction justified by the circumstances and
are commented upon with natural feeling of
elation by the press. The loss Of six hundred
burgherS and immense reserves of horses. cattle
sheep and ammunition can hardly fail TO crippIa
De Wet and Steyn, who have themselves mar
roWly escaped capture. Lord Kitchener's plan
of operations for a month has been to corcen-
trate his available mounted forces against the
Beers south of the Vaal and west Of Natal for
the purpose Of crushing resistance in the
Orange River Colony. and thereby facilitating
the peace negotiations with General Botha
The success Of the movement is fairly complete
although several small bands Of burghers broke
through the blockhouse lines. and the two i'm
portant leaders still uncaught Military
men, while smiling grim!y over the note Of
triumph in the final passage of Lord Kitchener's
busnesslille bulletin, enlarge upon the magni-
tude OF the operations required for clearing
mountainous region Of vast expanse and the
dynamic thoroughness with which the com
bined forces have swept everything against the
impregnabe blockhouse lines. They ridicue the
notion that the attack BY De La Rey OF Kemp
upon the convey in the Western Transvaal was
Intended diversion IN aid Of De Wet and
assert that it is no longer possible for isolated
forces Of Boers to Cooperate with one another.
The convoy reverse seems however. to have
been even more serious than was at first
thought. Sixteen officers and 4Jl men were
captured by the Beers and they only released
one officer and 105 men but the effect of this
coup IS nullihed by the destructive results Of
Kitchener's sweeping drive south OF the VaaI.
