SPECIAL DersPATCH TO THE EXAMINER.

THE LATEST REPORT.

Lorenzo Marques, March 28 ,—General Joubert 1s dead.

ANOTHER BIG WARCLOUD., : March 28.—The Standard gives double-leaded prominence to the | following despatch from Odessa: “There | can no longer be any doubt as to the ot.!} ject of the warlike preparations now being completed in South Russia. Nearly 250- 909 troops have already been mobilized for active service.

The Black Sea equadron, with trans» ports, is held in instant readiness.

The tension in the relations between St. Petersburg and the Bubilme Porte te- | comes every day more acute. The posi- tios is looked upon with the greatest ap- | prehension. If the Ottoman Government, supported by Germany, should prove stubbornly intractable, with regard to Russia’s conceision of avy demands in Asia Minor, serious complications must

inevitably ensue. The Russiaa garr'sons in the Caucasus

and alongthe Armenian frontier have been increased four-fold end equipped fcr active service.

THE LONDON CRITIC.

Loxpon, March 28.—The Boers are having a little good showing some boldness again, as a railway party estimated at 400, i, believed by the British forces at Warren- ton to have croesed the Kimberley-Bloem- fontein road on Monday and to have headed for Jscobsdal with the intention of cutting the ra:lway ten miles west.

Commandant Olivier appears to have gotten hie 5,000 men and twenty five miles of waggons into a rugged country where he can make an easy rear guard defense,

Charles Williams, military expert, says: “If this column gets through substantially, Commandant Olivier wil! have carried out a great feat of the war, seeing that he ran every chance of being greund between the upper millstone of Lord Roberts’ army ond the neither mill- stone of the broken Basuto frontier.

He will have come within 50 miles or | 30 of Lord Roberts’ main strength.

Certainly it looked for a week as though Lord Reberts held Olivier in the hollow ofhis hand. If Olivier gets through to Kroonstadt with even 3000 men it will be an important addition to the Boers gathering there. His escape is attributed in part to the worn-out condition of British cavalry borses,

Lort Roberts’ transport appears to have been badly dislocated by its loss at Riet river before Cronje’s surrender of the waggon traine,and in addition to these the army with which he purposes to advance
