No word has come from Bloomfontoin today, although sharp fighting is believed to havo occurred since the commander-in-chief was last heard of. London confidently expects the occupation of the Orange Free State capital will occur today, as previously forecasted. In the meanwhile attention turns to Mafeking. A dispatch from Lobatsi March 8 says: Colonel Piumer'a force reached hero Tuosday, Marclmi It is lehevad that only a single bridgo southward has been j destroyed and that otherwise the rail- , road is intact within 5 iniios of Mafokin<7 f!nlm,?l Pln.i.on I,.., 1 0 - WW.W..V* - 41 '* ' U'i WUViJ Ul3" J persed several Doer polioa posts iu ihe neighborhood aud is actively pushing his advance southward. ] Mafeking can scarcely hold cut umch 3 longer. The news of Colouol Piumera' 3 Approach has given substance to the ru- , inor of its relief, but those best 111 formed are inclined to think the relief is more likely to become accomplished by Colonel Peakman's column from Kuuborley. Private advices have set iortn that Colonel P.umer had almost giveu up ? hope of accomplishing anything mora j I than harrassing the Doers, though since j j these were written it is possible that the diminished numbers of tue invest- 1 lug force may h wo rendered P.umer's t task more feasible.

Regarding the United States' offer of mediation, Tne Globe says: "The incident is of intorest only in the light it throws on American politics.

"Wo may preserve amicable relations with the United States aud it is to bo hoped we always shall do so, but un alhauce is impossible.
