PLOT UNCONFIRMED.

Loypox, May 9.—The Parliamentary Secretary for the War Office states that the War Office has no information tending to confirm the reports ofan alleged plot to aseassinate Lord Roberts.

FOUR CANADIANS MISSING.

Lonpon May 9.—It has been reported to the War Office that Private W. Cooper, 620d St. John Fusiliers, Private N. Mc- | Intosh, Royal Canadian Artillery, of “F” }Co., Royal Canadiau Regiment of In- fantry, Private George Keswick, 73rd

Northumberland Brttalion, “G” Co., New Branewick, and Private S. Tesler, Second Regiment Royal Canadian Artillery, of “H” Co., Nova Scotia, have been missing from Bloemfontein since April 3@.

BULLER TO MOVE SHORTLY.

Carpe Town, Mav 9.—An important |movement by Buller’s army in Natal is expected within the next four days: ‘Buller is rapidly completing his transport

, arrangements. | FREE STATERS MAY SURRENDER.

Lorenzo Marques, May 9.—It is re ported tLat when Kroonstadt falls the sea; of the Free State government will be trans-

ferred to Heillron.

| The Free State commandoes, it is stated, are acting independently of the Trans- vaalers and may surrender at any mo~ ment.

BRITISH STILL ADVANCING.

Loxpon, May 9, 4.10 a m.—Four thousand British cavalry watered their horses at Zand River on Monday, twenty- five miles beyond Smalldee! where Lord Roberts continues to date his despatches.

Scouts who have been searching the country for miles along the etream have found no Boers seuth of the River.

The enemy is laagered in unknown forces on the north bank.

Thus the British advance guard is within forty-five miles of Kroonstadt.

WHAT THE CORRESPONDENTS SAY.

at headquarters are new wiring freely con- cerning the incidents connected with the occupation of Smalldeel.

Some surprise is expressed at the ease with which the Boers escape with their transports before the very eyes of the British. For instance, when the British entered Smulldeel the Boer ox wagons codly outspanned only five miles away as if in contempt ef the ability of the Brit- ish to overtake them,

Lord Roberts is described as rightly un- willing to sacrifice hie horses for the sake of s comparatively minor advantage. Nevertheless the waste of horse flesh in spite of al] precaution is enormous.

MAFEKING’S HARDSGIPS.

Loxpex, May 9.—The tidings from Mafeking are gloomierthanever. Every. body there has an empty stomach and pinched face .

The natives are no longer given even porridge and the whites now have nothing but ‘a quart of that substance and one

to the entry of Canadians : ‘ They are fine

strapping fellows, broad-shouldered,clean - | lmbed and blue-eyed. They sewing past with easy stride and free gait, conscious of strength and pride brought with them from | the lakes avd mountains of Canada.
