London, March 28.?T h e British high commissioner, Sii Alfred Miluer, arrived at Bloeinfontein?Iast night and - was met by Lord Roberts and his staff. According 'to a dispatcl\ from Bloemfontein, published in tlu second edition of The-Times, the high commissioner's visit is ol a private nature It is though! this can scarcely be anything but an official subterfuge, tin question of the pacification ol the Free State and the treat .ment of the insurgents doubtless being discussed between Lore jjKoberts and Sir Alfred Milner \According to the same dis patch Gen. French, previous t< returning to Bloemfontein, oc cupiod*the flour mills near Bat ter, Which are considered ar important acquisition. Reports from Rouxville ant other towns say the surrendei of arms to the British continue: satisfactorily. Gen. Clement's column en fcercd Fauremith on Tuesday March 27, having previously occupied Jogorsfontein. Magis tratos were iippointed, the proclamation was read, bands ol music met th& troops ami flag* were flown. The scenes resembled the American occupation oi Phrto Rican towns. Among the spectators ol Faujresmith was President Steyn's daughter. Heavy rains made Gen. Clement's march hard and are causing sickness among the troops. A dispatch from Maseru, Basutoland, dated Tuesday, March 27, says that apparently reliable reports that the Boers are entering Ladybrand cause the presumption that the British troops have crossed the line of the Boer retreat towards Kroonstandt, and that a fight or surrender near Ladybrand i> imminent. As Moseru dispatches are not distinguished for their accuracy, and as the British fnrr??? t ...1 ..1....... a ?w. vx. ?' ill I i(HI \ M (I I 1 U , under Col.
