London, May S-The Morning Post has
the following dispatches from Winston
Churchill, dated Thabanchu, April 80:
when General Dickson retired his own
mess carts the brigade water carts, fell
into the hands OF the enemy and his rear
guard was heavily fired upon This re-
treat compromised General Hamilton, who
therefore collected his forces and fell back
YEARLY into Thabanchu after sharply
checking the advancing enemy with mus
kerry and artillery fire.
Although much ammunition was ex
pended on both sides. the losses were in
significant, the fighting being at great
range. The result Is that the Beers are
willing to retreat, but it is not in the
power of the present force to interfere
with them or their wagons
