BRITISH AIM GOES STEADILY FORWARD Movement Is Retarded by Destruction of Railroad. BOERS ARE DEMORALIZED The >luchliir-Llkc Advance of Roberts Strikes Terror Into Traiisvatilers' Cumps?lloers to Mako Stand at Zaand River. London, May 8.?The following <lis patch lias been received from Lord Roberts at Smuuldcel: "The railway from Braudfort U) this place lias been considerably damaged and the bridge over the Vet river has been hopelessly wrecked. Tliis delays applies coming up. Every few yards charges of rackarock had been laid under the rails. This would have created aonie loss of life, but fortunately was discovered by a West Australian infantryman. Winburg has been occupied by the Highland brigade." In spite of these wrecked railroads the British advance goes on steadily. Lord Roberts'outposts are apparently about 12 miles north of Suiaaldeel. General .tinman t lias joined General Handle at Thnba N'Chu, whence they arc moving forward. The country is all quiet in that direction. A reconnoiss-uice made by Creneral Bundle of the Boers' recent positions at Thaba N'Chu resulted in their being pronounced impregnable and their evaeuation is rci>orted to have been due to the receipt of an urgent request from President Stevn. The 11 w?rs are said to l>e moving northward, but their immediate destination is not known. The whereabouts of the British cavalry under General French is still a mystery, while General Kelly-Kenny and General Cherms\de's columns are also uuuc. counter f for. Boors Arc 1'ttcrly l>ciuorali/.c?l. A Cape Town dispatch says Lord Hoberts' phenomenal ailvauce is not only utterly demoralizing the Boers, but is striking terror into the rebel circles. The Cape Town correspondent is slightly optimistic as regards Matching. Judging from the direct dispatches the British forces south of Mnfeking arc still nearly 200 miles from the objective point, while the latest advices from Mafoking itself, dated April 20, show little amelioration in the condition there. The dispatch says that with the exception of sliirht ritte tiro nf fill' .mtlvlnir trenches everything is quiet. The enemy's artillery with the exception of two 5-pouiulers has apparently withdrawn. It was learned April *21 that theonemy intended to attack. The entire garrison stood to its arms. When the day broke Colonel Baden-Powell took up a position on the look out and the heavy rattle of musketry and the boom of four gnus convinced us that nil attack was about to occur. But it became apparent that the Boer officers could not persuade their men to advance. Through glasses we saw the officer vainly urging the infantry forward. The enemy reformed and retired. Our men fired a shot in the hope of inducing the enemy to come to close quarters. After the bombardment April 27 all was comparatively quiet. Jloers to Make a Stand. Smaai.dekl, May 8.?General Button's advanced camp of the Colonial regiments is tonight settled at Lodgelcgen (Welgdcn) siding. According to reports the Boers intend to make a stand near Zaand river. The engineers are busy making a do vintion across the river. A dispatch from Colonel Plummer's camp states that the Boers around Matching have been gradually reinforced and their strength is estimated at .'5,000. Colonel Plnmnior lias succeeded in communicating with Mnfekingby menus of carrier pigeons and is endeavoring to comiuunicato with the southern relief colum. Plot to Assassinate Roberts.
