A Britiswsn officer who is on furâ€" lough in London after fighting from Colenso to Lydenberg has been preâ€" dicting that tne ctoming szirmisnes of the campaign would take place on the line of Durbanâ€"Johannesburg Rallway in the vicinity of Heidelberg and Standerton. Both of these afâ€" fairs were within the theatre of war defined by this officer months ago as the last Boer ditch. horses in order to enable them to move quickly about the country. The one would always remain cavalry, and the other would alwaysa remain infantry. The natural explanation of the fighting is that one mine after anâ€" other is~opening in the Rand, and the refugees are returning to Johanâ€" nesburg in small groups and the Boers have been making desperate efforts to frighten them and to preâ€" vent regumption of industry in the Gold belt. Viakfontein was probably designed to be a loud warning to the refugees that the war has not endsd and that Johannesburg was still an unsafe place of residence. No Information. London, June 1.â€"The reticence of the Government regarding the batâ€" tle of Vlafontein and other miliâ€" tary events of some importance, which have recently occurred _ at widely separated points in South Africa, has led to considerable anxâ€" iety. This is in no way allayed by the anewer of the War Office toâ€" dGay to the question regarding the accuracy or otherwise of the recent Boer report that the British were severely defeated near Pretoria on May 2nd, losing 46 killed, 80 woundâ€" ed and 600 prisoners and six guns. The reply which the War Office vouchsafes: "We have no official inâ€" formation," has aroused some misâ€" givings. . . Lopdon, May 31.â€"The commapderâ€" inâ€"chief paid a visat to Badminton, where the Royal Gloucestershire Husâ€" sars are encamped, and witnessed a eham fight and a march past. Lord Roberte, in addressing the men, dispelled the misapprehension that there was a desire on the part of the authoritiee to turn the old Yeomanry of England into mounted infantry. They all knew the value of the Yeomanry, and at any rate he could epeak of what the Yeomanry had done in South Africa. They came at a time when mounted troops were moset urgently required, and they had done their duty in quite a splendid manner. There was the greatesat difference between cavalryâ€" men who had occagionally to fight om foot and infantrymen who had gqmeflm_es to be put on ponies or He noticed that they had all got rifles instead or carbines, and he was very glad, indeed, to see it. Beâ€" fore he left South Africa all the cavalryâ€"the Lancers, the Dragoon Guards, and Hussarsâ€"came to him and begged that their carbines might be taken away, and that they might be given the rifle. They said it wiris no use for them to endeavor to compete with the Boers unless their weapons would carry as far as theirs. He was able to give them rifles, and he had learned since that they had done admirable work. _ His Lordship proceeded to advise the men to spread themselves _ out more. When he went to South Afâ€" rica he laid down the rule that the files were not to be closer than six paces when advancing to the atâ€" tack. That was very soon aftered to ten, and then to twenty. Craddock, Cape Colony, May 31.â€" It has now been ascertained that Commandant Malan‘s casualties in the fight at Maraisburg were four killed and eight wounded. A man who was brought in toâ€"day by Col. Henniker‘s column states that he was standing _ near Commandant Swanepoel when that officer was shot dead, the bullet passing through his forehead. His commando, which is now to the north of Pearston, has elected another leador. . the Tasmanians finaliy got back to camp, .where Warburton died. t London, June 2. â€"Suspicions are again excited by the lack of details respecting the battle fought at Viakâ€" fontein. It is not probable that the War Office is deliberately suppressâ€" ing despatches from General Kitchâ€" ener, and that a serious reverse has oceurred. General Kitchener has told the story of the battle briefly, and is not disposed to magnify the importance of anything connected with the campaign, but cannot withâ€" hold the list of casualties. The abâ€" sence of Mr. Brodrick may explain the reticence of the officials in Pall Mall, the stronghold of red tape, and the details of the battle may not be accessible to the few straggling correspondents remaining in the field. There is no anxiety among military men, since the Boers are known to have been firmly repulsed, but there are strong suspiclions that the British were again off their guaird, and that the heavyy losses were caused by their being attacked unexpectedly. Delarey‘s commandc has been allowed free range of a large district for a» long period, while General Kitchener hias considâ€" ered it more important to clear other portions of the Transvaal. General Smithâ€"Dorrien, who has been welcomed home at Berkhampâ€" stead, reports that while the war may be ended by September, the bulk of, the army will be needed in South Africa for twelve months. This is a gloomy f@erecast, and it comes from one of the most experienced genâ€" erals in the field, who has not made a single mistake, and has Commandant Swanepoe)‘s Death. The Yeomanry Drill. td Lord Kitchener had planned to force them to winter in the Northern Transvaal and fight there, or> at least to hold them until after the South African winter, when the bush veldt is most unhealthy for whites, when it was calculated that they would then come south and surâ€" render. Certain groups in the Pietâ€" ersburg district are already enterâ€" ing the British lines and laying down their arms, but the great majority of the fighting Boers evaded the posiâ€" tion, split into sections of from 80 to 50, and escaped to the south through the meshes of the British dragâ€"net, reassembling in the Midâ€" lands district of Cape Colony, where, instead of the North Transvaal, Lord Kitchener may have to direct his winter campaign. General Delarey is unlikely to seek to operate there, as the Boer leaders have consistently chosen areas they know best. But such a severe atâ€" tack as that delivered by General Delarey at Vladfontein last Wednesâ€" day, beside reviving the panic temâ€" per of the) seattered British columns, which are moving without local knowâ€" ledge of the country, will prevent Lord Kitchener from trans{ferring enough men to eject the Boers from Cape Colony. This impasse may continue for months. The Boere are crippled through lack of aupplies, an l the British are hanâ€" dicapped by having to devote fiveâ€" «eixths of their army to guard their etores and their lines of communicaâ€" tion. This situation has provoked the weary civilian population of South Africa to cry out against British methods, and the correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette has sent a letâ€" ter to hi@ paper, saying that the Briti@h commanderâ€"inâ€"chief is now known a@ "Kitchener of chaos." London, June 3, 6 a. m.â€"War newse this morning points to the probabilâ€" ity of the renewal of the Boer efâ€" fort to secure terms of peace. Gen. ®muts, with Gen. Botha‘s secretary, is at Standerton. Their visit seems to have greatly disconcerted Krugâ€" er and his entourage, who are busy in explaining that there is no truth in the suggested request for Dutch mediation, and that the burghers were never in better spirits or more regolved to fight to the end. ‘The Jingo newspapers here are also someâ€" what disconcerted at the news, and the London â€" Daily Mail says the country will ratify no such demands as were made by Gen. Botha on a previous occasion. London, June 2.â€"The sum of the latest South African operatiops is that the Boers have again avoided British strategy. Concurrently, the newepipers conâ€" trolled by Cecil Rhodes have started a joint agitation that he is the «etrong man the country wants. This agitation fo being conducted during Lord Milner‘e absence and against his interests. To add to his troubles, the Uitlanders now in Cape Town and Durban have sent two accredited reâ€" presentatives to England to seek to‘ move the Government against Lord Mi‘ner‘e acm‘nistration of the Transâ€" vaal. They declare all his civilian ofâ€" ficiale, exespt two, are personally ob jJoctionable on the ground that they are nominece of the capita‘lsts, and that CThey are introducing regulaâ€" tioms that will ruin the Rand, except for the great comminies. Cape Town, June 2.â€"Thirtyâ€"two Wodehouse‘s Yeomanry had an »nâ€" gagement with 700 Boers near Dorâ€" drecht. After one of the British had been killed and five wounded, the detachment surrendered. They were subsequently released. * Goes Back to Duty. London, June 2.â€"The War Office announces that Lieut. Blackmore, formerly of Strathcona‘s Horse, has been discharged to duty in South Africa. The @tuation is an extremely diffiâ€" cult one for Lord Milner, who is now the guest of Colcnial Secretary Chamâ€" berlain at HWigobury, Birmingham. The Government wil undoubtedly eupport him, despite the industrious work of Dr. Leyd&, the Europeann agent of the Tranevaal, in disseminâ€" ating the text of the interviews beâ€" tween "%ord Kitchener and Comâ€" manderâ€"inâ€"Chief Botha, #howing that the personal antipathy to Lord Kitâ€" chener is one of the greatest bars to the settlement of the war. shown excellent judgment throughâ€" out the campaign. e . Slept on Duty. London, June 3.â€"Though no offiâ€" cila!l information is forthcoming, inâ€" quiries result in showing that the statement printed in the Daily Clhronicle about a week ago in reâ€" gard to the number of soldiers servâ€" ing sentences in Portland Prison for various offences was somewhat exaggerated. There are about 40 of these prisoners, whose chiel ofâ€" fence was sleeping on sentry duty in South Africa. The Chronicle stated that three officers and about 100 men had been sent back from South Africa _ for punishment. The majority were said to be ordinary offenders, but the officers were said to be guilty of treasonably aiding the Boers and one of them was so influential that he succeeded in having the names of all three suppressed. According to the Daily Mail, one of the soldiers accused of sleeping on duty, a young volunteer, was sentenced to eight years‘ penal servâ€" itude for this offence. This, howâ€" ever, is probably an exaggeration. Why Did Milner Come Home‘? If Lord Milner does not come home for his health, why did he come? The plain, obvious reason is that he found himself in a false position. He had left the Cape Colony, which has now another Governor, and where he had no longer any jurisdiction. It is said His Excellency did not get on with Lord Kitchener, but, however that may be, there was nothing for him to do. He was nat wanted. & The warmth of his greeting in London, which has been so differâ€" ently estimated by different observâ€" ers that the truth about it is hardâ€" He had gone to Pretoria, Bloemâ€" fontein and Johannesburg, and had assumed the civil administration of the annexed provinces, but no civil administration â€" was possible, inasâ€" muich as even the military control did not extend beyond the line of rallwia®y. : .. )90 00 i0 n e Boers Again Get Away.

Every time he sends out _ now many men do you figure the Boers have in the field toâ€"day ?" the commandant was asked. " About 17.000. With Hartzog and Kretzringer in Cape Colony are about 8,500. De Wet has a force of 5.000 or 6,000 men, and Botha about 7,000," an expedition it must be a large one. It must use scouts, carry an endless amount of supplies and camp equipâ€" age, and maintain a â€" cumbersome mobility, What is the result ?
