first pause in tc reinforcements since
the war began. "Sir Redvers Bullcr,
second in command in the field, and

ed. Lord Roberts has altogether 45J

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. His telegrams,
dealing with" non-essentials, arc taken
to mean that lie is up to some mis
chief, asa.his apparent inactivity usually
spells uncommon activity. . )

Nothing 4ias .been heard from there

" There is a rumor that Col. -Baden-Powelf

not bl traced to any substantial basis.

Poplar Grove. March 9. General
French, who is ten miles ahead, reports
that his front is clear of Boers. AH
other reports tend to confirm a state of
disorganization of the Boer force! of
the Transvaal, as well as of the Free
State. The Rcneral impression is' tha
the further progress of the Britis-hj tc

A great amount of ammunition was
destroyed today. This included sever
al 4xxes of explosive bullets, on th?
outside of which the BoerSi had mark
