Strikes Terror Into Transvaalers'
Camps-Bocrs to Make Stand at
Zaand River.
LONDON, May S.-The following dis
patch has been received from Lord Rob-
erts at Smaaldecl:
THE railway from Brandfort TO this
place has been considerably damaged
and the bridge over the Vet river has
been hopclessly wrecked. This delays
supplies coming up. Every few yards
charges of rackarock had been laid un-
der the rails. This would have created
some loss of life, but fortunately was
discovered by West Australian infau-
tryman. Winburg has been occupied
by the Highland brigade"
In spite of these wrecked railroads the
British advance goes on steadily. Lord
Roberts outpostS are apparently about
IL miles north of SmaaldcCl General
Brabant has joined General Rumble at
Thaba N'Chu, whence they are moving
forward. The country is all quiet III

by General Rumble OF tn" Beers recent
positions at Thaba N'Chu resulted IN
their being pronounced imprcguablr and
their evacuation Is reported To have been
due to the receipt of an urgent request
from President Stcyn. The Beers are
said to he moving nOrthwarl, but their
Immediate destination is not known.
The whereabouts of the British cavalry
under General French is still mystery,
while General Kelly Kenny and General
Chermsidc's columns are also unac-
counted for.
A Cape Town dispatch SAYS Lord Rob
erts' phenomenal advance is not only
utterly dcmoralizing the Beers, but is
striking terror into the rebel circles
The Cape Town correspondent is
slightly optimistic as regards Mafcking
Judging from the direct dispatches the
British forces south of Maf"king are
still nearly 200 miles from the objective
point, while the latest adviccS from
Mafcking itself, dated April 20 show
little amclioration i'll the condition there.
The dispatch says that with the cxccp-
tion of slight rifle fire at the outlying
trenches everything is quiet.

ton OF two 5-poundcrS has apparently
withdrawn.

stood to its arms. When the day broke
Colonel Badcn-Powcll took up IL position
OIL the look out and the heavy rattle of
muSkctry and the boom of four guns
convinced us that an attack was about
to occur. But it became apparent that
the Boer officers could not persuade their
men to advance. Through glasses we
saw the officer vainly urging the infan-
try forward. The enemy reformed and
retired. Our men fired shot i'll the
hope of inducing the enemy TO come to
close quarters.
After the bombardmcnt April 27 all
was comparatively quiet.
