(Bt an sx-Msubxk or thx Ihtelliqkn'cs Bkakcb, Sooth AnxcA.) When Lord Roberta's farces entered Kroonstad there seems to have been little left by the enemy, as their rearguard of 8000 men bad evacuated the place, taking thirteen guns with them. The Boer forces seem to have left in two columns, although why they did so is not apparent. One column is sadd to have gone to Lindley, forty miles to the east, and the other col umn is stated to have marched to Heilbron, forty mike «orth-east. Coupled with the news of ■fine retreat of the enemy from Kroonstad comes the news that the Boer horses 'are in wretched condition. This is probably in grea* part due to the rapidity of the British advance, whkm fept the enemy on the move continuously, and this, of course, has played the mischief with their horses. There is probably no easier way of fighting the Boers than, by killing their

fiorses, ns the Boer cannot and will not figlvt well unless 'he hns his lior.<c in his rear, so that- ho «mi make good 'his retreat if his enemy is too strong tor him, *nd the light - ing is going ngvuite't him. A good ]x>rse is j-utsth'as much c. part of tie JJoesr on com mando as is his.rifle, and; to make liis horse useless is pKßcftieaKy to make the Boer into au insignificant tt-Jemy. This is particu larly tlhe case at present, since the Boer wmy is so. scattered that there seems to be no cdvesion be tween -the various cohorts " into Which j it is divided.
