Ninety-one British Prisoners Rescued onSuiday

SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE EXAMINER.

FORCING THE FIGHT.

Lonpoyn, April, 5.—Lord Roberts is con. PRINCE OF WALES’

centrating his troops around Bloemfontein, andthe biz naval guns have been mounted upon kopjes commanding the approaches of the Free State capital.

These are the tidings which the latest news bring, and there appears to be one interpretation, namely, that the Boers are advancing with the intention of attempt- ing to make good Kruger’s statement that he would retake Bloemfontein before mary weeks.

With the exception of the Seventh di» vision which holdsthe Karee siding and the kejes near tnere and along the rai!~ way to the south, Lord Roberts has all _ his division close to Bloemfontein.

The Boers seem to have adopted the ‘plan of assailing the British communica- ‘ tions,and a commando is reported as oper- | ating in the neighborhood of %4pringfoo- | tein, with this intention.Generai Gatacre i who has a comparatively smal) force will have to repel this move or else the com- mander-ia-chief! w:ll find his communi- cations gone.

The report that a new force of 6,000 Boera is approaching Bloemfcntein from the north, adds further weight to tae sup- position that the Boers intend to attack instead of waiting to be attacked.

PREPARATIONS.

Leypow, April 5.—This despatch from its special correspondent is published by the Daily Telegraph :

Buoemronrein, April 5.—The Boers are advancing ina guarded manner from the east, and our troops are elowly retiring. The enemy has appeared before Bushman’s Kop which washeld by the cavalry and mounted infantry. Our men were order- ed to retire and the Twelfth Lancers were sent to assist the movement,

The head of General Clement’s column has arrived. The Imperial Yeamanry are being sent forward.

The Boers now deciare that they in- tend fighting the decisive battle of the war within the Orange Free State.

Broadwood’s column lost the » hole of their kit.

It must be remembered that the cavalry are numerically weak. Remounts were arriving hourly, on Saturday and San- day.”

MAFEKING’S REPORT.

Lonpon April 5.—A despatch announces that Mafeking was still beseiged, but safe, March 27tb. :

BRILLIANT FEAT.

Loypoy, April 5.—The Daily Mail has the following from Bloemfontein, dated April 3rd :

“Colonel Porter, with ninety Carbineers and Scots Greys and two guns performed @ brilliant deed on Sunday. He charged alarge body of Boers and rescued 91 British prisoners, including 11 officers who were captured previously. There were no casualties on the British side.”
