Beers PUzZLING TACTICS.
London. April 3o.-The latest news
received here from the Orange Free
State indicates that though the Beers
have evacuated Thabanchu they have
only done SO in order TO occupy
stronger positions. on Sunday, April
30 General Dewet made an effort to
turn Frcnch's eastern flank, which was
only foiled by the cavalry after Wig
orous manoeuvring. The Beers held
the ridges to the eastward. whe nee they
will probably fall back when the pres
sure OF superior numbers increases.
The British casualties sustained dur
ing the Thabanchu fighting were
slight.
General French's object, now that all
chance of catching the main bodies of
the burghers has disappeared, is to ha-
rass the Beers and prevent any we'll
organized retreat.

A little reflection will readily explain
his apparent mystery. During the
process of m~astication, deglutition, etc.,
certain muscles are brought into &C

This loss, however, is trifing as COM
