Another Disnntch,

D1sphtchs
The war office has received the fol-
lowing dispatch from Gen. Roberts:
"Bloemfontein, May Liam Hamilton
marched yesterday in northerly dlrec-
ton from Thaba N'Chu with body OF
mounted infantry and Smith-Dorrlen
brigade of Clements division At Haut-
ney he found himself opposed by strong
force commanded by Gen. Botha In person.
Reenforcements reached this force during
the day and directed French to strength
en- him during the night from Thaba
NChu.
This he was able to do, as the number
of Beers in the neighborhood of Thaba
N'Chu had considerably decreased. In ad-
dition to these troops Hamilton should be
reinforced during the day by Broadwoods
cavalry and Brucs-Hamilton' infantry
brigade.
Hamilton mentioned that his casualties
yesterday were about 80. ..s.-.
"Maxwelrs brigade of the Seventh divi-
sion yesterday occupied Vlaksontors and
Schauskraal, a row of kopjes. without
meeting with opposition. But the mount
ed infantry were engaged for some hours
Throws No Light.
Neither the mmander-in-chief's nor
the correspondents dispatches throw
any light on the plans being adopted to
GUST the Beers from the neighborhood
of Thaba N'Chu and how long before
a determined effort will be made to re-
assert British superiority is only mat
ter of surmise. In the meantime the
Beers are remarkably aggressive, es-
pecially in view of the large forces OPP
posing them. A special dispatch from
Thaba N'Chu dated Monday says they
made daring attempt to cut off a Brit
ish convoy which got into broken
ground between Thaba N'Chu and De-
wetsdorp, opening fire from the ada
cent hills. In the nick of time Gen.
Brabazon, with a strong force of
yeomanry returning from Wepener,
arrived on the scene and extricated the
convoy.
Much Artillery Firing.
All accounts tell of much artillery
firing, with scarcely any casualties. 1t
is hardly likely that two such forces
can much longer patiently face each
other without more stirring occur
rences. Gen. Brabant's column is ex-
pected to join Gen. French shortly. A
number of Beers are reported to have
been seen retiring north, but this is
scarcely authoritative.
Blowing Up Railroads.
London, May 2. - A dispatch from
Mafeking, dated April 20, says:
1.-The Beers have been busy for several
days blowing up the railway southwards.
There was little firing during the past
week.
1.-THE town will respond cheerfully to
Lord Roberts request to hold out for an
other month.
Fever is rife but otherwise the health
of the garrison is good and all are WELL"
