"Sir Redvers Bullcr, second in command in the field, and Lord Wolseley. are understood to also consider that no more artillery is need ed. Lord Roberts has altogether 45J euns. including sieee pieces. i It is quite clear that "General Buller will not try anything large in the future as he is to lose Sir Charles Warren and the latter' s 10.000 men who have been ordered to join Lord Roberts. It is iai'd Lord Roberts, knowing the necessity of garrisoning his depots win be able To operate a constantly in creasing force until, by the time the Transvaal frontier is reached, he will have. 70,000 troops.

This included sever al 4xxes of explosive bullets, on th? outside of which the BoerSi had mark ed: "Manufactured for the British government." 1 KRUGER WF.PT . I London, March 10.
