ROBERTS CAN'T
ADVANCE YET
His Attention Fully Occupied in the
Free State.
London, April 10, 4:55 a. m. The
war oflice had nothing to communicate
to thu public yesterday. It was taken
for granted that the rumor of General
Brabant's victory at Wepener is pre
mature. With the remainder of bis
force he left Aliwal North Saturday for
Rouxville, and thero has scarcely been
time for an engagement. There is
practically no fresli news this morning.
All tho Bloemfontein dispatches, how
ever, breathe a confident tone. There
seems to be .a heavy demand on the
railway for so large an army leaves the
populace bare of everything save tho ab
solute necessaries of life. The fact that
the censors allowed Winston Churchill's
dispatch on the subject of remounts to
piiBS, speaks volumes for the condition
of the question and concerning the proe
pects of any immediate advance toward
Pretoria. The utmost Lord Roberts will
be able to do for some time to come will
be in the direction of clearing the Boers
from the Southern part of the Free State.
The dispatches announce the approach
of Winter. The first pinch of frost has
been felt at Bloemfontein, where con
siderable rain has fallen.
It is said that President Kruger has
visited the camp at Kroonstad, as well
as at Brandfort.
Winston Churchill telegraphs to the
Morning Post from Bloemfontein, under
Saturday's date, reiterating his opinion
that the war is bound to prove an ex
pensive business. He says:
"Two hundred and fifty thousand men
will be needed before the end is attained.
The question of remounts will contiuue
one of vital importance. Great numbers
are now arriving, but owing to the fact
that they Imve to be put to work before
time is given them to recover from the
effects of the voyage, their condition is
low, and the death rate among them
high.
"Thousands, therefore, will be wanted
in addition to those now here or on the
way, and great resting depots must be
formed, together with ample staff to
nurse and evercise them. If that is done,
then about four or five mouths hence
you will be able to give your cavalry a
new lease of life and strength."
