several of the inhabitants have ex-
pressed gratitude for the peace and
order which prevail.
After surrendering the city Botha re-
tired to a place about Is miles east on
the Middleburg road. He had a small
force at first but, during the last few
days his numbers increased and his
being so near the town kept up the ex-
citement in the country, prevented the
burghers from laying down their arms
and interfered with the collection Of
supplies. 1t therefore, became neces-
sary to attack him. This l did yester-
day. He held very strong position,
practically unassailable in front. which
enabled him to place the main portion
OF his troops on his fianks, which he
knew from former experience were his
vulnerable parts. / sent French with
