that the chances of Lord Roberts catching tho retreating Boers is very slender Tho Boers havo everywhere retired at the first pressure of tho Brit ish advance and tho hopo that General Ruudle would bo able to induce them to remain at Dowetsdorp until they had been forced to fight has been disap pointed No attempt was mado to pursue the commandoes retiring from Wepener Everything now depends upon the pro gress of General Frenchs cavalry brig ades but they aro entering a very diffi cult hilly and practically unknown country Tho cavalry have already had a long march over heavy and sandy roads and nothing is known regarding the condi tion of tho horses In any case it is a raco between the foderals and the forces of General French and General Hamil ton The slowness of the British in fantry and previous ability of the Boers to move rapidly with guns and baggage over their own country lead to a belief that Lord Roberts enveloping opera tions will fail and will have to be re peated further north At tho most ho will perhaps capture somo Boer guns uud baggage and harry the retreating burghors Considerable results have been at tained in tho relief of Wepener and tho clearing of tho southeast corner of tho Free State but the Boer army what ever its strength has still to bo dealt with Besides tho casualties among tho men the Boer bombardment of Colonel Dal getys pobition wrought
