LORD ROBERTS ATTACKS.
Outflanks the Boers Who Beat a Hastj
RetreatBulIer Pressed. On War to
Go to the Bitter End. .
"What promisedtobe a "deadly
strife between the armies of Lord
Roberts audtGen. Joubert on the
Modderriver and for Tohich the
world was waiting almost with
bated breath has reulte'd in an
overwhelming attaek by Roberts
' aifd a precipitate retread - by the
Boer forces. The latter are
simply overmatched 'm numbers
and were easily outflanked when
it meant retreat'or capture.
The movement occurred on the
. 7th. There was not mucl) fight
ing, though dispatches, say that
50 English fell at the first onset.
The English are following in
hot pursuit.
Gen. Buller is pressing for
ward also and trying to reach
mountain passes on the Trans
vaal border. His progress is im
peded by the destruction of
bridges and culverts by the"
Boers. They use the torch and
the explosive freely.
- President Kruger's conference
with President Steyn seems to
have sealed the alliance more
closely, and the determination
was arrived at to fight to the
bitter end.
Gen. CronjegoestoSt. Helena.
A flay That is Clean, Bright and Tore.
The play of "An Indiana Ro
mance," which will soon be with
us, is from the pen of Mr. J C
Nugent. It is a prstoral comedy-
drama,' entirely new, refreshing
and interesting.. It is not of the
classic, but a simple tale dra
matically told, where the heart
plays a great big part, where
tears mingle with laughter and
you go away feeling better and
stronger to face life and its dull
realities. This play was pur
chased from Mr. Nugent by Mr.
Robert Downing, and the com
pany now presenting it is under
the direction of that well known
actor and manager. The prices
for this engagement - will be
within the reach of all and we
trust that the people of this city
will appreciate a play that is
clean, bright , and pure. The
date for this production is Satur
day, March 10th. ' ' .
