In the Free state.

New York, June IA dispatch from
London says:
The Boer commandoes in the Free State
commanded by Dewet and Olivier, prob.
ably muster about 5000 men. Opposed to
them are about six divisions, exclusive OF
the troops lining the railway. General
Methuen with the First, at Lndley. Gen
eral Chermside, with the Third, at kroon-
stad; General Rumble and General Bra
bant, with the Eighth and Colonial divi-
sions, at Ficksburg; General Clement, with
the Twelfth division, at Senekal, and Gen
eral Kelly Kenny with another brigade Of
the Sixth and probably other forces at
Bloemfontein. There must be 10000 Brit.
ish troops available for operations agains,
Dewet and Olivier, and each of these six
columns is too strong to be attacked Only
two of the six columns are supplied d-
rectly by the railway, and the remaining
four are each dependent upon conveys or
endeavoring to live of the country. The
difficulties of tran.port were serious enough
to cripple these scattered forces, and
when General Roberts was cut of from
communication with kroonstad there were
six generals waiting orders, and there was
nobody in supreme command in the Free
State. There is no official news from any
OF these columns. Dewet could hardly
have hit upon cleverer tactics for throw
ing the British plans into confusion.
