Brandfort to-day without much oppo-
sition, and without, hope, many cas-
ualties. The first brigade of mounted
infantry covered the left flank of the

evacuated Thaba N'Chu hill are believ-
ed to be still trekking, though one gun
shelled the camp intermittently. The
scouts report that some of the Beers re-
tired to Wepener. They believed that
the Beers evacuated the position during
the night, trekking northward in three
directions. General French left to-day.

cupation of Brandfort was issued by the

nication received from the front since

relief of Ladysmith. The position gives
the key to one of the main roads leading
to the Drakensberg passes, which possi-
bly, may be the means Of cooperation
with General Butler later on, and pro-
vides an advance base for supplies, etc,
