LONDON, March 31.—The war office has issued the following: “From Lord Roberts to the secretary of war: “ ‘BLOEMFONTEIN, March 30, 2:25 p.m. —Owing to the activity of the enemy on our Immediate front and their hostile action toward the burghers who surrendered un- der the terms of my proc!amation, I found it necessary to drive them from some kopjes they had occupied near the Karee siding station, a few miles south of Brand- fort. The operation was successfully car- ried out by the 7th (Tucker's) Division, a ted by the Ist and 3d Cavalry Brigades, under French, and Le Gallais’ regiment of mounted infantry. The enemy retreated to £ ‘andfort, and our troops now hold the opjes. aa Our casualties were ing, Scottish Borderers; wounded,Capts. Sel- lar, 1 rd, Peebles, Curgenven and Ed- wards, Lieuts. Coulson and French and about 160 rank and file.” The Bloemfontein correspondent of the Morning Post, te’egraphing Thursday, sa: % Killed, Capt. Go- “Lord Kitchener and his staff crossed the temporary bridge at Norval’s Pont last night. He had 3,000 men under his com- mand, and left 700 at Priska. He co: siders the rebellion crushed, although the fire may smolder for some time. The Bloemfontein correspondent of the Daily Chronicle, telegraphing Thursday, March 29, say: ident Kruger’s late: proclamation warns the women and chi dren to leave Bloemfontein within five day: as he intends to bombard and destroy thi city and shoot the burghers whom he cap- tures there “Vigorous measures have been taken by the British to harass marauding bands of Transvaal Boers. The latter are resorting to guerrilla methods, chiefly against Free Staters who refuse to join Kruger.” ‘The head of the army of Lord Roberts is now about twenty-one miles north of Bloemfontein. It occupies a cluster of hills won from the Boers after a stiff fight. in which the British lost seven officers and The Boers had been using these a base for marauding bands that n beating up the country adja- cent to Bloemfontein for supplies, driving off cattle and forcing non-resisting Free Staters into their ranks again. The enemy must have been in considerable force, as Lord Roberts sent 8,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry against them. Roberts’ pro 100 men. ess to Pretoria will y consist of a series of such forward nts, in which Boer positions will be i by a portion of the army advanc- with wheel transport, the main ning uy as the railway is repaired. rd Roberts is stripping the forces In the minor spheres cf operations of their wa- gens and transport animals, In order to hasten the advance. This is understood to be the reason why he recalled Lord Methuen from Barkly West to Kimberley. Lord Roberts had to have Methuen’s trans- mmandant Olivier is that Lord id not wish to wear out the cav- Yy transport. Gen. French lost 3,000 horses in the relief of Kimberley and the pursuit of Gen. Cronje. Lord Roberts lost 3,000 transport cattle at Watervaal Drift, and it is estircated that he has lost 4,000 other animals since the forward movement began on February 13. The advance beyond through a bare country, and the supply of- ficers foresee an increasing difficulty in pro- viding for a great army moving along a sin- gle line of railway, even when the latter is working smoothly and with ample rolling stock. The Canadian Mounted Rifles were Part of the force that occupied Kenhardt yesterday. A dispatch to the Dally Mafl from Koffy- fontein. dated Thursday, March 29, says: “Gen. Clements’ flying column, after a forced march of thirty-seven miles yester- day. arrived here unopposed.” Mr. Winston Churchill, in a long dispatch from Durban, expresses regret that the Morning Post does not support his views re- garding the treatment of rebels. He says he desires to give a full explanation of his views hereafter, but will not again allude to the subject in the columns of the Morn- ing Post. He proceeds, however, to say that Sir Redvers Buller and most of the officers of distinction share his views, and then adds: Bloemfontein 1s “It is strange that officers im the field should hold more tolerant views than pre- THE EVENING STAR,- SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1900—26 PAGES. as as a ee ee ee ee iiant Easter at the Bi ever did a spring season open under more auspicious circumstarices than the prestnt, for we are not romancing when we ask you to come and see was ever assembled in one store in this town.

The importance of the action Hes In the fact that the Boers will probably for some time be shy of approach- ing British outposts. It would be rash to say that Lord Roberts is not about to ad- vance immediately. The date of the ad- yance will be secret, so as to prevent the enemy learning it. Presumably Lord Kitch- ener is now at Bloemfontein, and this may be taken as an indication of the imminence of the advance. nirit of ven- eeesteeetecetecestetesteteseteente sated aetestetestnteneteeetecntecdetedintesiete Handsome large-sized Couch, spring edge all around; cover, quality $5.00 tufted; excellent big bargain batten, and of for.
