A World correspondent writing from Pretoria , March 7 , says : The Boer army has tints far been strengthened by about .J.OOO men who have come into the country through Delagoa bay since the war began. Three thousand is a low estimate , but the exact number cannot b < : afcprtuined , even from the war ofllce hero , which is willing to tell al most anything concerning the con duct of the war. This large body of men has been recruited chiefly In I3ur- ope , where sympathy for the lloers id second only to the hate of England , but many men have come from Amer ica , and even Australia. Ever since the war began this steady stream of fighting men has been pouring into the Transvaal over the Portuguese border , although the English officials there have done everything In their pcwer to stop it. Every train arriving fiom Lonrcnzo Marqucx. brings from ten to fifty re cruits and a short time ago such a largo number of men were clamoring for transportation from the Portuguese1 town that an extra train was run for their accommodation.
