Windsor, Feb 21—It was announced at a Town Council meeting held here this morning that news has been received at Windsor Castle, that Lady- | ™ Killed, Scott, Maundrell, Jackson,

The announcement was

The advance guard was probab ly some miles ahead,so that the capture of Bloem- fontein must be an impending event,

The British troops, including the Can- adians, who are well forward io the army of invasion, are apparently withia a day’s march of the Free State capital.

BOERS CONCENTRATING.

Lonpon, Feb 21.—4.20 a. m.—The Boers are leaving all the positions held by them on British territory and are con- Centrating for the defence of their own.

Geaeral Buller thinks that they are ‘abou: to raise the siege of Ladysmith and this is the large news of the day.

Gen. Clements reports that the force confronting him has been greatly dimia- ished. ‘en thousand men are estimated to have gone from the Coleshurg district

General Kelly-Kenny advanced to the attack. But Crorje fought a splendid rear gaard action all day lone, and al- though he had to abaoden part of his | convoy ‘eucceeded in getting his force acroes the Klip Kraal dr.ft near Paderte: g.

FORWARD TO BLOEMFONTEIN.

Loxspox, Feb. 21.—The occupation ef Bloerafontein and Orange Free State capital, by a British garrison would have a great moral effect on the Free State troops, even though thetown is not a point of strategic importance.

The movement of Lord Roberts’ army towards Bloemfontein ie unquestionably clear, nctwithetanding the mystery with which Lord Kitchener surrounds his optrations. '

There has been nothing official from either Roberts or Kitchener given out of later dale than Monday.

Lerd Roberts himself was then at Pardeberg, thirty miles east of Jacebs- dal, on the direct road to Bloemfonreio, er abeut 50 miles from the ca ital.

alone. The Boers are also retreating from Zululand.

Thus they are relaxiog their hold on all sides in order to assemble to oppose Lord Roberts who is presing on steadily toward Bloemfontein.

This is shown by his inconsequential telegram from Pardeberg, fifty oreixty miles away.

Doubtless he is miles behind the columo that is pursuing the Boers and the next important aewa may be the occapa- tien of Bloemfontein.

Nothing had been heard from the chase of Cronje for two days. Although the last words ofthe office tomight were that there is no news for publication. Thers is a strong disposition to believe that favorable information has been re en but is being held back uatil the movement is completed.

BROW TEE CONVOY WAS LOST.

Lonpoy, Feb. 21.—The Standard pub- ishes atelegram which helps'to clear up the mystery atiending the capture of the British couvoy by the Boers near Koffy~ j foutein.

It seems that while the British forces were crossing the Riet river at Watervaal Drift the rear guard was unexpectedly at~ tacked by 1500 Burghere, under Delany, who bad arrived frem Colesburg,and Lord , Roberts deliberately gave orders for the abandonment of the wagons which mostly contained food stuffs.

WOMEN IN THE MINES,

From the stories which are pul lished of the state of effairs at Kimberley prior te General French’s arrival it is clear that the relief of the town was brought about none too soon.

Most of the women and children, owing to the persistence of the bombardment, bad been sent down in the mines and distributed along the various levels by order of Ceci] Rhedes.
