London, 29th March. The impression is galning ground among Military experts and others that Lord Roberta is preparing another surprise for the Boers. It is believed that while the attention of the enemy is being engaged by forces approaching Mafeking, north and seath, the real relief of Colonel Baden-Powell and the defonders of the tomu will be effected by another movement of the British troops, making a wide westerly detour, their object being the capture and accu- tation of Vryburg, where considerable quanti- ties of provisions aro stored.
