The Roeri are leaving all the poaitlona held by tlieui on Rritiali territory and are concentrating (or the dufeime of their own. Sir. Reiver a Ruller think they are about to raiae the alega of Lailyamith, ami tlila ia the largo new of the day. (leneral Clementa reiorti that the force confronting film ha been greatly dim inlaheil. Ten thouaand men are esti mated lo have gone from the CoIeaburK diatrlct alone. The Iioera are alao re tracing their itepafrom Zulluland. Thua they are relaxing their hold on all aidei in order to aaaemble to oppose Lord Roberta. lie is pressing on steadily to ward Bloeinfontuin. This is shown by his Inconsequential telegram from Paard eberg, 50 to 00 miles away. Doubtless he is tuiles behind the column that is pursuing the Iloer, and the next im portant news may be the occupation of Bloemfontain. Nothing has been heard from the chase of Cronje for two days. Although the last words of the war office tonight were that there was no news for publi cation, there is a strong disposition to believe that favorable information has been received, but ia being witlield until the operations culminate in something more concluaive. Ti.errt is an equally strong disposition to think that General Cronj ha got away. Owing to the lack of transports, the British are not likely to inyade Boer ter ritory except ahere Lord Roberts is 0xrating. General Buller will have to stop at the Daakenberg mountains. Probably a part of his 40,000 men will ultimately j in the legions of Lord Roberts. If as General Buller avers, the Boers are retreating from him, then the news on every side is favorable to the KiilH.h.. Never theless, troops continue to R up. the war office thinks that the call to veteiansto rejoin the colors, together with the bounty, will bring 43,000 men to the home defense. The urgency wiih which home defense i pressed excites some wonder. With the casualties just reported, the British losses in wounded, killed and captured are now 11,102. THK BKTBEAT OF CKONJE, March to Uloemfontxln Hamaaed by Hrltl.h Horae. London, Feb. 12. 21 A correspondent of the Daily Chronicle, telegraphing Sun day, thus describes General Cronjn's re treat with the Boers at Magerefontein, on learning of General French's success: "Thursday at midnight, headed by General Cronje, 5,000 Boers, with their heavy guns and ox wanons, evacuated the Magersfontein lines. At dawn Fti day, the retreating Boer army was seen from the British naval gun station on Klip drift kopje trekking eastward across the British front, at a distance of 5000 yards. Our guns opened upon them, and a force of mounted infantry, crossing the river, made a dashing charge in the attempt to cut oft" the head of the enemy's column. But in half an hour the r whole force had gained shelter under a line of kopjes. "Meanwhile two of our batteries had come up and the Oxfords, Buffs, West ridings and Glouchester. Our infantry crossed the drift and for three hours engaged with the enemy, while our bat teries shelled his position. The mounted infantry kept hard at work. "Unable to withstand our galling fire, the enemy retired, disputing every inch of the way, and took up a second posi tion on the kopj.)8 to the eastward. It was a magnificient spectacle to see the Boer army thus at bay. Their rear guard, 2001) strong, fotiht us, while the main body trekked further east and then brought their guns into action while the rear guard retired. The notion lasted throughout the dy. Our infantry fought splendinly, but the enemy held his ground under the continued bombard ment. "Later on the Boer commandor ven tured on a bold stroke. Leaving 2000 of his men under cover, he withdrew the rest from his main position and headed for Klip kraal drift, b'ix miles to the east. This movement was soon discov ered. Our motinlod infantry came back across the drift and marched along the south bank to endeavor to head off the enemy. When they reached the neigh borhood of Klip kral drift night had fallen, and half the Boers were already across the south side. Our mounted infantrv harassed their movements. "Meanwhile the Boer rear guard, hav ing covered the crossing of the main body, retired slowly and successfully passed the drift. The rear guard fought desperately, and as it full back to the river It was harassed on the flank and rear by the British, "Having thus passed the Modeler under cover of darkness, the Boers trekked through the night in the direc tion of Bloemfontein. General Kelly Kenny, with the Sixth division pur sued them at daylight, General Mac Donald reached Klip kraal drift by forced marches Sunday, General Kelly Kenny, moving from Klip kraal drift, was endeavoring to outflank the enemy and to cut them ofT from Bloemfontein, so as to drive them back into General Macbonald'a hands. When I left the front General Kelly-Kenny had not come op with the enemy." flO A III) OF VOMMISSIOSEUS February, JOOO, Ter in V reent, S. F. Markn, Chairman', J. It Morton ami 11.
