The llnod of news paper dispatches today, describing tho re cent operations, throws no light whatever upon tho prittont position of affairs or upon tho great question as to when the main ndvnnco Is to begin. Tho Stnndnrd'fi announcement that Gen cral Franch's cavalry Is returning to Blocm fonteln Is clear proof that thcro Is no fur ther hopo of catching tho retreating Doers nnd tho London papers nre beginning to display Impatience at tho practical fnlluro cf tho elabroato operations of last week. Tho Standard nays: "It lo disheartening to find that these rlnborato maneuver! have had ho small a ic suit." Tho Dally Chronicle remarks: "Wo aro reluctant to crltlclso Lord Rob-r-rts, but It Is Impossible to shut our eyes to tho fact that during tho last ten days we havo gained very llttlo from our enor mous display of force." Without doubt theso operations havo been of n very exhausting nature and will entail further delay, Tho Rloonifonteln corre spondent of tho Times, writing on March 3, atlor tho Paardebcrg nffalr, describes Lord Roberts' army as a "wreck," because it wao without horiios and without trans port.
