London April 28 455 a m In Com-
mandant General Louis Botha the Boers
appear to have found a capable successor
to Joubcrt As tho result ot his Insight
and quick decision It nwy be assumed
now that tho retreating commandos have
gotten safely away with tho transports
It is truo that Lord Roberts dispatch
leaves much unsaid as to the whereabouts
of other forces than those of General
French and General Uundlc Nothing la
said about tho troops cfGcnerals Brabant
ToleCarew Hart and Chcrmslde but tho
Indications from Allwalnorth show that
the several small commandos arc fctlll
hovering In the vicinity of Springfield
causing a certain amount ot danger and
tho advices from Dewetsdorp outlining
tho duties ot General Chermslde Justify
the conclusion that it will still be neces-
sary to employ a consldorablo body of
troops to keep tho Freo State free of
Boers
The position Is that the Boers who be-
gan their raid a month ago by compelling
Colonel Broadwood to retire on Bloemfon
tcin havo now gotten safely away to tho
northward practically without loss but
with the advantage of seven guns to-
gether with a hundred prlboucrs captured
Meanwhile the advanco to Pretoria has
not been begun Small wonder Is It that
mttftied complaints and criticisms aro J
being heard here and there against Lord
Rcibcrts Twotbrds of his entire force
havo been emplojed In effecting this small
satisfaction and tho probability Is that
tho whole force must be again concen-
trated on Blocmfontcln before tho main
advance begins As similar raids on tho
British communications are likely to m
repeated It is evidently still a far cry
to Pretoria
The significance of General Hunters di-
vision going to Klmberley where mounted
troops are also arriving dally Is now said
to be a serious attempt to deal with tho
strong iBoer forces on the Vaal river now
threatening to reltikc Barkloy nnd to an
endeavor to relieve Mafeklug It will
be borne in mind that General Hunter paid
a hurried visit lo Lord Roberts at Blocm

completed at Bethulle whero hitherto
