J.ONUOX, Feh. 21, 4:15 . tn. 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."
