IX. R. HOWARD, Heppner.
London, April 29. The total absence
of news from the seat of war in South
Africa during the last 24 hours Indicates
that operations are progressing which it
is beet to keep secret.
80 far as the eituation in the south
eastern part of the Free Slate can be
worked out from the latest dispatches,
the main body of the Boers is retiring,
with a view to join in the neighborhood
of Ladybrand the commandos from
Wepener, who made good" their re'reat
to Ladybrand. The maiii body of the
Boers is being followed. The British
have an overwhelmingly superior force
and ought to wipe out the Boers if they
succeed In overtaking them and bring
ing them to biyf'-www . -
It may be assumed that the Boers are
to the eastward of a north and south
line drawn fromThabanchu to Wepeoer.
The retreat is being carried put without
fighting, which indicates that the Boers
have a good start, and the dispatches
say that they are not hampered much
by transport and leave no visible wheel
tracks behind tjiem on the ye!dt. '
Ammunition intrrcrpttd.
Pretoria, April 27. The British at
Jammesburg Drift tried to get ammuni
tion through Basutoland, but the Basu-1
tos stopped the wagons and informed
General De Wet. A strong contingent
of Basutoa is now guarding the line to
prevent entrance or exit from Basuto
land.
' On to Winbenc.
Maseru, April 27. The Boers, num
bering several thousand, who abandoned
the siege of Wepener on Wednesday,
started in the direction of Ladybrand,
but changed their course and took the
middle road leading past Thaba Patso
Mountain and Lecan River Mills, thence
toward Thabanchu and in the direction
of Winberg. The border guard of Basu-
tos has been broken ud in .conseouence
of Wepener now being in the hands of
the British. One of General Hart's
wagon trains, which encumbered the
movements, has been taken charge of
by the Basutoland government and re
moved to Mafeking, where at present 70
wounded are getting along well.
Botha U. K.
London, April 28. In Gen. Botha the
Boers appear to have found a capable
successor to Joubert. As the result of
his insight and quick dicision it may be
assumed now that the "retreating coni
mandos have gotten safely away with
the transport.
The position is that the Boers who be
gan their raid a month ago by compell
ing (olonel Broadwood to retire to
Bloemfontein have now gotten safely
away to the northward, practically
without loss, but with the advantage of
seven British nuns, together with a
hundred prisoners, captured.
Meanwhile the advance to Pretoria
das not begun. Small wonder is it that
muffled complaints and criticism are
beginning to be heard here and there
agoinst Lord Roberts. Two-thirds of
his entire force has been employed in
effecting this small satisfaction, and the
probability is that the whole force must
be again concentrated on Bloemfontein
before the. main advance beuins. As
similar raids on the British communica
tions are likely to be repeated, it is evi
dently a far cry to Pretoria.
Many Movements.
The Bloemfontein correspondent of
the Daily Telegraph, says :
The Boers who retreated from De
Wet's Dorp kept well ahead of French's
cavalry. Unless the enemv should make
a stand at Kroonstad, Lord Roberts will
rapidly cross the Vaal river."
Other Bloemfontein dispatches throw
interesting points of light upon the situ
ation. One special say that 750 wagons
of a Boer heavy transport train have
reached Kroonstad from the south.
Only light wagons have been left, behind.
The Boers have organized a specially
mounted corps for foraging and other
work requiring special mobility. An
other reports that before the Boers were
driven from De Wet's Dorp about 7000
of them had been slowly retiring toward
Ladybrand, where large supplies are
stored, and Immense corn fields are
ready for harvesting.
The Ladysmith correspondent of tbe
Daily Telegraph says: P
The Boers are preparing to spend
the winter in Natal. They are bringlnu
their stock from the high veldt into
Natal for winter grazing, and they are
demanding that the Kaffirs pay the hut
tax on them instead of the Natal govern
ment. Thev also declare that unlnia
the Kaffirs work for them they (the
Kaffirs) must remove south of Sunday'
river. ;
The commandos ordered to the front
are obeying reluctantly. One burgher
who has escaped injury in a number of
battles admits that the Boers have fired
upon the Red Cross frequently.
The sending of General Cronie to St.
Helena has greatly enraged the Boers,
who are said to be more than ever de
termined to fight to the death.
Vat Aldiif tli gnemjr.
Pretoria, April 30. Lrastus da Klock
has been sentenced to two years at hard
labor for guiding the British to Bloem-
footein.

GOLD IN THE RIVER.
Soldiers in the Philippines are
having all sorts of experiences.
Major Downie, who used to cam

Heppner, is nowjn the pay de

The major recently went through
a bridge with his SS30.000 in
gold while crossing it at ilermosa,
a town North of Orani, in lJataan.
Fortunately no one was hurt and
everything was recovered. The
accident was caused by the weak
news of the trestle.
The paymasters of the United
States army have many difficulties
to overcome in reachiug the boys
in blue every two months. They
seem to take special delight in
reaching the troops with their pay
as quickly as possible. Nothing
seems to daunt them in their work.
During the entire insurrection the
paymaster's department has never
lout a cent by coming in coutact
with the enemy, though many
times have the rebelB nlotted to
catch the paymasters napping and
