Modder River, Feb. British

French with cavalry has entered Kimberley. Cronje has evacuated his position at Magersfontein, and is trek-

kin gy e; oo toward Bloemfontein, with he Bnitish in hot but cautious | pursuit.

The Sixth division started from

Modder River to begin the march to- ward Jocobsdal on Thursday at 1. a. m., reaching Klip Drift on the Modder before midnight, doing 26 miles in 24 hours. The same _ afternoon’ the seneral went ahead, again supported by three batteries of horse artillery, the Boers flying at his approach. ‘This left the road clear to Kimberley, and Thursday night saw French within striking distance of the beleagured town,

mom ‘

a nen the Boers began trekking from their Magersfontein position. When Caylight brokea large trekking force was visible in the distance. British cavalry and artillery immediately started in pursuit, and both forces soon disap- peared over the veldt. In the meantime Gen. Tucker, with the Eighth division had begun his

advance on the right flank. Colonel Henry had been sent forward to Jacobsdal and finding the

place vacated by the Boers, assured the inhabitants that their property would be respected and their personal safety assured is*they kept quiet. On his return to Wegdraal, Henry’s party was fired upon from kopjes 1,500 yards on his right flank. A few casualties occured in the British force here, but the party regained the main body prac- tically intack. The next day two bat- talions of infantry anda battery of ar- tillery ofthe Ninth division occupied Jacobsdal. Here the scouts brought in the intelligence that the Boers were in full flight towards Bloemfontein. Scores of Boers, sick and wounded, were discovered in a laager three miles west, with 150 wagons, large quantities of ammunition, stores and persona! effects, all showing that the retreat had been pell-mell. ‘The Boer doctors at- ng the wounded say that this laager supplied the Boer entrench- ments. Amongthe supplies captured were several cases of rifles, ammunition, and boxes of biscuits marked “via Delagoa Bay.”

On Thursday the naval brigade did good work, shelling the kopjes where the Boers were supposed to be lurking. After a few shots the kopje suddenly became alive with the fleeing enemy. Over one thousand were seen gallop- ing away at full speed. The Boer wounded bitterly revile Cronje for leaving them to fall into British hands. The British casualties were compar- atively insignificant in view of the im- mense gain of the past 48 hours.

French’s arrival at Kimberley was a veritable triumph for that dashing gen- eral. The inhabitants were already aware from the silence of the Boer guns that their long imprisonment had drawn toa close, and from every point of vantage, a look-out was kept forthe first arrival. When the cavalrymen, in khaki, were espied in the distance, word was passed to the anxious watch- ers, and a few minutes later every road and pass, lately blocked with a Boer cordon of fire, swarmed with the sorely tired citizens rushing to greet their de- liverers. Women and children, eager to taste the joy of long peferred free- dom, ran hand in hand, while Colonel

The road to Kimberley is now open, and repairs to the railway are being pushed, so as to allow food supplies to enter, as well as for those desirious to leave to get away as quickly as possible. The ninth division with Generals Kitchener, Kelly-Kenny and Colville, meantime took a parallel road eastward for the purpose of cutting off the Boers’ retreat, the prospects of hard fighting being more likely in this direction. ‘The Highland brigade un- der General Macdonald was given a chance at their commander’s request to retrieve the Magersfontein blunder, and quick as the men could be pushed ahead the march was continued that day. At Kip Drift a terrible thunder- storm broke over the silent marchers Under other circumstances this out- burst of the elements would have

forced the troops to shelter. The} lightning struck all around the men, in many cases striking the gun barrels, and forcing the poor fellows to drop to the ground, but Scotchmen’s blood was up and they continued to plod for- ward. QOne blinding flash struck a naval twelve pounder, while the men were hauling it up the hill. Three tars were struck down and to complete the diaaster one of the wheelsof the gun carriage was split intwo. Nothing daunted other blue jackets rushed to the assistance of their disabled com- rades to remount the gun on its broken carriage, This was fmpossible, but | the men were not to be baulked by a little thing like that shouldered the big weapo and carried it bodily ten miles and from an improvised plat- form on a kopje opened fire on the body of fleeing Boers. Gen. Kitchener witnessed the daring act, and praised the men’s skill and bravery. The British are still pursuing the Boers to the eastward.

GIVES FRIENDLY WARNING.

Lord Roberts has issued a proclama- tion tothe burghers of the Orange Free State, saying that he fecls it his duty to make known to all the burgh- ers the cause of the coming of the British, as well as to do all in his power to terminate the devastation caused by the war, and that he issues the proclamation in order that if the burghers should continue fighting they may not doso ignorantly, but with a full knowledge of their responsibility before God for the lives lost in the campaign. ‘The proclamation goes on to say:

“The British Government believes that the wanton and _ unjustifiable in- vasion of British territory was not committed with the general approval of the people of the Free State, with whom the British Government has lived in complete amity for so many years. It believes the responsibility to rest wholly with the Government of the Free State, acting not in the inter- ests of the country, but under mis- chievous influence from without.

“Great Britain, therefore, wishes the people of the Free State to understand that it bears them no ill-will, and that, so far as is compatible with the suc- cessful conduct ofthe war in the ré- establishment of peace, it is anxious to preserve them from the evils brought upon them by the wrongful action of their Government.”

In conclusion, Lord Roberts warns all burghers to desist from further acts of hostility toward Her Maijesty’s Government and troops, and_ he gives directions regarding requisitions and complaints.

BOY BUGLER AND QUEEN.

The Queen’s personal interest in the men fighting her battles is being con- stantly illustrated by her visits to Netley hospital and the private houses where lie officers and men wounded in South She stood godmother, a few days ago to the child of a major’s_ wife whose husband was killed at Elans- laagte, and she has now summoned to Osborne Bugler Dunn, aged fifteen, of the 1st Royal Dublin Fusiliers, who was the first to cross the Tugela River, though the men of the regiment tried to keep him back. While running with the soldiers, holding his bugle with his right hand, Dunn sounded the “Ad- vance.” A bullet struck his arm and the bugle fell. The boy immediately lifted it up and repeated the call. He was brought to Netley hospital, and was visited there by Princess Christian and Princess Henry of Battenberg, who asked the boy what he would like the Queen to do for him. He replied :— “IT hope Her Majesty will send me back to the front. I’m to have a medal and three bars, because I was in three engagements. My father has only two bars to his medal.” The lad’s father, a sergeant, returned to the front last week, having recovered from his wound. On his arrival at Portsmouth young Dunn was tenderly borne on the shoulders of the delighted populace.

A crrespondent of the London Times gives an account of a visit paid to the Cunard transport Catalona, contain- ing anumber of Boer prisoners. The scene does not seem to have been very gloomy. The correspondent chatted with old Boer acquaintances. “One of my friends reminded me jocularly that I had not kept my promise of spending a few days shooting spring- buck on his farm in the Free State, to which I could only rejoin that I knew that he had gone out rooinek shooting himself and was not to be found at home. ‘The prisoners were scattered all over the deck, some reading or play- ing draughts, others pretending to fish- or walking about. Some looked pro- foundly bored, others were holding most animated conversations, chiefly about the war. A favorite amusement seemed to consist in chaffing the sen- tries or the crew about the British reverses. One wizened little man, a Johannesburg bar loafer to judge by appearances, was treating a sailor toa most graphic account of how it took six lancers to capture him at Eland’s Laagte, astatement which provoked much laughter from his_fellow-prison-

ers.” ‘The meals consisted of boiled beef, potatoes, pickles, bread and coffee. ‘The friends of the prisoners

may supply them with any luxuries they like in the way of deck chairs, clothes, cakes, fruit or tobacco, in fact, anything except money and spirits.
