BOERS DRIVEN FROM K0PJE8 British Caenaltlee t the Kngageaaear War Over Ob Hoadred Men tha Tmn.port Service. London, April 2. The head of the army of Lord Roberts ' is now about 21 miles north of Bloemfontein. It occu pies a cluster of bills, won from the Boers after a stiff fight, In which tbe British lost seven oiBoers end 100 men. The Boers bave been using these kopje as a base for marauding band that hare been beating np the country adjacent to Bloemfontein for supple, driving off cattle and forcing non-resident Free Stater into their rank again. Tbe Boers must bave been in considerable force, as Lord Roberta sent 8,000 infantry and 8,000 cavalry against them. Lord Roberts' progress to Pretoria will probably consist of such forware movements, in which Boer position will be attacked by a portion of tbe army advancing rapidly with wheel transport, tbe main army coming up aa the railway is repaired. Lord Roberts is stripping the forces in the minor spheres of operations of tbeir wagons and transport animals In order to hasten the advance. This is understood to be tbe reason why he re called Lord Methuen from Barkly West to Klmberley. Lord Robert haa to have Metbuen'i transport. General French lost 8,000 hcrses in the relief of Klmberley and the pursuit of General Cronje. Lord Roberts lost 8,000 transport cattle at Watervaal Drift, and it i estimated that he haa lost 4,000 other animals since tbe for ward movement began February IS.

In small affairs tbe Boers are daring ly aggressive in all parts of tbe field ol war. , The Jobanneeberg mounted po lice, esteemed by tbe Boers to be tbeir best mounted commando, is raiding tbe eonntry near Bloemfontein, harrass ing the farmer who have given up their arm to tbe British and carrying off oattle.
