TO DAY'S WAS CABLES.
FURTHER BOER INVASIONS
London, January 11. Commandant Hertzog with 700 men and two guns crossed the Roggeveltl mountains, in Western Cape Colony, travelling a distance of fifty miles, and has been lost to pursuit in the Clanwilliam country which is extremely difficult, and the passes of which are easily defended. The cruiser Sybil's blue jackets and guns have been landed in Lambert Bay and are entrenching to prevent Hertzog advancing along the Sandveldt. A second column, 500 strong, belonging to the western invading Commando, reached Doorne river, seventy miles south of Calvina; the eastern invading Commando, under Kruitzinger, is within fifty miles of Richmond. On the ninth, several thousand Boers, from Bechuanaland, supposed to be trekking to German East African territory, turned south and occupied Griquatoner.
