ONE MORE BATTLE May Possibly Be Fought iu the Transvaal. ? ? ff ? THE INDICATIONS ARE EUR PEACE. Bngland Has the tipper Maud at livery Point, imd Krugor Will Doubtless Ask for Terms of Surrender. Loudon, Hy Cablo.- Lard Roborts Is making a very rapid advance and ho 1* again misleading the Boers by continu ing the "advance southward instead of through the flat country duo east of Aasvogel kop. He will probably seize the railway .south of Bloemfontoin and although another buttle >is possible, it is more likely t lint the Boers are oulv endeavoring to delay his ndvanee until all the rolling stock of the railroad and the stores and troops from the Orange river ean bo gotten away north. Such egnfldeneo is now felt in the military operations that -interest rather cen tres In the politleajp^speets of the war.

Except in the cose of Germany t lie replies of <t ho powers to the Boor ap peals for intervention are not yet known publicly here, but i't is quit* certain that Austria. Hungary and Italy will decline to interiors and there is no apprehension that anything will come of the overtures^of the two republics. A dispatch from Lorenzo Marques announces the arrival here of Mr Fisch er, the Orange 'Free S?!ate Secretary, and Mr. Wolmaralw, a member of the Transvaal executive oounsel. It Is not known whether they are bound on a mission to foreign powers, or to Sir Alfred Milner. Mr. Wolmarans is in Prewide^ Krugors confidence. The Daily News has tho following dispatch, dated Monday evening, March 12, from Venter's Vlel: "We left Aasvogel kop this morning, preceded by cavalry and marched a distance of about 15 miles. The army lias been fol lowing Kaal spruit, and we are now rather 40 the south of Bloemfon-toln and only about 12 miles off. "All tho divisions have now joined the main advance. Lord Roberts' headquarters are at Oregorowsk's farm. You will remember that the reform prisoners were tried before Judge Gre #or/>wski. By advancing along Knal spruit I/ord Roberts has again outwit ted tho Boers, who bad intrenched themselves along the iMOdder. thinking tihait our route would be in that direc tion.
