Show Roberts Advances on Pretoria. According to a special dispatch from Pretoria, Lord Roberts has commenced his advance northward. The dispatches say there are daily skirmishes and that a big battle is imminent. This, however, how-ever, may refer to the operations preceding pre-ceding the engagement at Karee Siding, which has apparently cleared the way as well as secured an advantageous position whence the next operations may be conducted. Tucker's division is now strongly occupying the Boer camp at Karee Siding, with the clear to Brantfort, which is reported already evacuated. |
