GATACRE PEElPARING TO TAKE VIGOROUS MEASURES TO COPE WITH ANY ATTEMPT TO CUT THE liAlLtBOAD—GENER- ADS COLVILLE AND RRENCH RE TURN TO BLOEMiPOiNTElN. SPRINGFONTBIN, Tuesday, April 5.—Owing to the information that the Boers are hovering in the neighbor hood of the railroad running from this place to Bloemfontein, General Glatacre is ‘preparing to take vigorous measures to cope with any attempt to cut off Lord Roberts’ line of communication a t that point. RETURNED TO BLOEMFONTEIN. BLOEMF^ONTEIN, Monday, April 2. —General Colville’s division and Gen eral French’s cavalry have returned here. Everything is quiet. LONDON, April 4 .—General Col ville and French have give up the movement against the Boers east of Bloemfontein and have rejoined the main army. It doubtless seemed to Lord Roberts a vain thing to send from ten to twelve thousand of his best troops into a wilderness, with field transport, in the direction of a right angle with his chosen line of advance. The Boers have probably moved else where, and if to the southwest, Gener al Colville could as easily strike them from Bloemfontein as by following them up across the plains. These in ferences still leave the situation be-, wllderlng for the time being. The enor mously superior British forces appear inactive in every part of the field, waiting yet, probably, for the accumu lation of material for a swift \advance on the Transvaal frontier.
