Another evidence of the prompt a

Woods, whose son Clyde was killed in

BETTER PROGRESS
GENERAL ROBERTS SEEMS TO BE
MEETING WITH SUCCESS
AT ALL POINTS.
Occupation of Winburg Said to Have
Been Accomplished-Boers Are Re-
treating Before the British Ad-
vance-Has Mafeking Been Re
lieved?

London, May 7.-4:10 a. m.-Lord
anyone has dared to hope and is meet
ing with success at all points. The on
ly news of the actual occupation of
, Winburg is the incidental reference to
it in the dispatch from Vet river de-
scribing General Pole-Carew's opera
lions, but, as the latest news of Gener-
al Hamilton's operations, dated Satur-
day morning, was that he was then
preparing to force the difficult passage
over Little Vet river, on the Bloemfon-
ein-Winburg road, there is no doubt
that the news of the occupation is ac-
curate.
The Beers, following their customary
tactics, had evacuated their positions
on the Vet river during Saturday night.
AS Lord Roberts, advancing along the
railway and General Hamilton, 20
miles to the east, threatened the two
wings Of the Boer forces, it would MOI
be surprising to ZEAL that they had al
so evacuated Winburg.
General Hamilton's advance will pre-
vent the Boer forces in the direction
of Thaba Nchu joining their main ar
lea Winburg.
General Rumble on Saturday had ar
rived in pursuit of the Beers seven
miles north of Thaba Nchu. compelling
the Beers to retire in An easterly direc-
ton.
A Boer account of the capture Of
Brandfort says:
The federal forces although weak
in numbers, offered strong resistance,
but they were forced by the over
whelming force opposed to them to
evacuate the town.
General Hunters progress, although
slow, is satisfactory. The idea that the
relief of Mafeking is in sight, however.
appears to have been premature, as the
Beers In that quarter are still stoutly
resisting the British advance.
According to a dispatch to the Daily
Mail from Cape Town, a special expe-
