LONDON, April 13.—In a roundabottl ^ay, London, hears that Lord Roberts, when wiring to the Prince of Wales at Copenhagen congratulations upc escape from assassination, added two or three hopeful sentences portending an early advance with.' combinations. Quiet assurances are passed around among military men that Lord Rob erts is emplcylrig his great army ef fectively and that the adventurous Boer commandoes are likely to be en- an^ another there—hi over comparatively idle cables, » not Illuminate the sltua- leshed. Scraps of news—a detail here andf another there—have reached Eng land over comparatively idle cables The colonials a t Wepner stjll hold ofl the Boers. Lord Methuen has worked mtll h e Is within 80 : nstad. ;ace com- Fischer ) and the smith and have appei and other places on General flanks and rear. The officers of Bul- ler’s Irregular horse estimate the Boers in Natal as 18,000, but these figures are probably excessive, 10,000 being regard ed here as the outside number. After General Hart’s brigade leaves him. General Buffer will still have close upon 35,000 men. It is generally assumed that this brigade is going to join Lord Roberts, but its destlns tlon Is really unknown. The Boer note to Portugal regarding the use by the British, of the Belra route for the transportation of troops to Rhodesia nay, if the Boers act against Portugal, lead Great Britain to land troops at Loi This possibi cussed and the morning papers tods The work of the Boer pea< mlssioners has begun. Mr. has asked Italy t o Intervene Italian ministor of foreign afi replied that, while he would the envoys, the best he could do would he to transmit their proposals to Lon don, thus following the course of the United States, Sir Alfred JOlner, when replying to a deputation of clergymen in Cape Town Thursday, said: \ ‘Never again’ must be the motto of all thinking and humane men; but not from lust of conquest or desire to trample on the gallant It misguid ed. There must be no compromise patchwork in the settlement and opportunity for misunderstanding, in trigue, the revival of Impossible am bitions or the accumulation of enor mous armaments. \The British will no longer tolerate dissimilar and antagonistic political system.in a country which nature and history have declared to be one.” In these absolute utterances of Sii Alfred Milner, he speaks for the im perial government. It Is calculated that Lord Roberts now has 214,090 effective troops, with 12,000 more afloat Africa for revolvers. Hilyard Steyn, brother of President Steyn, in the course of an Interview at Bloemfontein, said! rlginal i A Fatal Eire. NEW YORK, April 13.—A fire, .TVihioh may result In the deatih of twio jJiersons, occurred 'early to-day in the s'lx story, bulldinig a t No. 67 Clintom street.

Mrs. Boiler and the other child will sur.vive. plan of the Boers was to overrun all Cape Colony, but on becoming Involved In the sieges of Kimberley and Ladysmith, the burgh ers found the design spoiled. To this 1 attribute the Boer failure to conquer the British. I expect the war to last until Christmas.” The seventh month .of the war is beginning with Eastertide and the morning paper editorials expatiate up on the need of soberness. BRITISH CARGO.
