Their Capture Was Part Of q Great Gem
sts eral Movement.
SMALDEEL, Sunday, May 6. The
movement that eliminated id the cap
ture Of Winburg and Smaldeel, was a
part of the general moyement extending
from General Hunter on the west to
General Rumble on the east. Lord
Roberts admirable strategy resulted in
placing everywhere i've British to one
Boer. Ont of what appeared the mex
tricable confusion of divisions and
brigades order was quickly evolved and
the Beers are compelled to meet Lord
Roberts under unfavorable conditions.
What is more important is that the
British are now able to wait. Their
front and strong positions are safe in
the knowledge that their fanking col
nmns will advance and outfank the
Beers. 81 +.
Yesterday the Beers held really
STRONG position, from which early iD the
campaign they could have been forced
only by hard fighting. General Hamil-
ton S arrival at Winburg, although in
directly outfanking the Beers, made
their position extremely uncomfortable.

leaving in its rear the material in arms

ing to alleviate the distress caused by
