WILL HOLD TBABA N’CHU.

Buoemronreiy, April 30.—It is under- stood that the British will continue to hold Thaba N’cbu owing to its strategic importance and especially with a view of checking future raids.

Recent operations have tended to clear the military situation. Genera] Pole- Carew’s progress through the country has brought home to the Free Staters the fact that the policy of Jenieucy bas been aban-~ doned. Besides seizing the etock of farm- ers who after having given mission were found fighting, he comman- dered all available forage giving receipt for the same, This will prevent the Boers using the resources of thecountry. Boers are now evidently returning in order to con- centrate for opposition to British advanee, Now that Thaba N’Chuas weil as its approaches is strongly held, Ladybrand, with unfriendly Basutos lining the border, is rendered a position of extreme danger for the Boers, the gravity of which wii! be accentuated from the moment the British advance begins.

We had now covered the wholeof the distance except seven miles. We actually marched fifty-fiive miles in three days, and we were glad on the morning of the fourth day when we were told we were within seven miles of Bloemfontein. Great was our surprise, when we had gone a litle distance, to find that French bad got into the city with very little resistance and that they had all surrendered in Bloemfontein. | Not long after we could see the towers on Government House loom up in the dis- tance.

Our march, after that, wasan easy one, ‘for it was commencing to me quite , interesting. Everything that caught our
