advautugo in the midst of the group of
Boers. The Burghers aro reported to be
returning home for Christmas.
Recent arrivals from Jacobsdal report
that notwithstanding ttie Boer success,
the Free Staters do not expect ultimate
victory. They complain of tho over
bearingconductof General Cronje'e men,
who are alleged to be better fed and
posted in the Biifeat positions. Tbe
Transvaalers do not conceal their sus
picions of possible defection of Free
Staters and threaten to shoot them at
the least sign of wavering. Tho Free
Staters are said to regard subjection to
the TranBvaal as more to be feared than
subjection to Great Britain.

belief that an immediate advance of the
