Entered Without opposition

London, April H.-The Bloemfontein cor respondent of the Daily Telegraph, under Wednesdays date, says:
 Our mounted infantry entered the high mountain plateau of the Thaba N Gnu to- day almost without opposition. As Thaba NChu is natural fortress this must mean the Boers have practically thrown up the sponge in this section of the coun- try. If the force presses on to Ladybrand the whole country south of that point and in line with Bloemfontein will be com pletely in our hands
 "One difficulty is that many of the Boers forming commanders immediately on find ing themselves beaten, retreat to their farms and resume the roles of ueaecful citizenship, hiding their rifles"

HAMILTON IS CLOSE BEHIND

London, April 27.-5 a. m.-Israel's Poort which is not marked on the maps, lies be- tween Saunas Post and Thaba N'Chu. General Hamilton has probably byo this time arrived at Thaba N'Chu as lie is using his utmost endeavors to cut off the Boers who are retreating from Dewet,s Dorp. The Boer forces at Thaba NChu are not unlikely to make stand to over- take the escape the conveys from the southward They have laagers eight miles a part, strengthening from Frankfort to Thaba N'Chu with a camp at Samalldel station.
 A report that some force of British mounted infantry had a brush with a party of Bersten several miles east of karee Siding who were trying to estab- fish connection with Brandcroft and the Boer forces to the southward
 Otherwise this is no news beyond the official reports of Lord Roberts except be- lated details of recent operators. It ap- pears that General Brabant, in the fight with the Boers at Wepener had a narrow escape. General Pole-Carews advance, which was much hampered. by the tardy arrival of artillery, which prevented him from completing Luew <op before dark ness set in and enabled the Boers to se- cure their retreat.
 Although the large operations were con- ducted successfully several cases of unac- countabe delay in the advance are re- marked by the correspondents. Taken on the whole, however, there has been no bungling and apparently Lord Roberts, with tho commands in the hands of young- CT generals, now has an exceedingly eff cient army .

The dis charge of matter was so profuse that it was necessary to dress his back three times a day. Every time the bandages were removed blood would flow and for a time even powders and different salves did not check the trouble. It be- came necessary to wrap the little body in silk. When the trouble appeared at its height our anxiety was increased by the ap- pearance of boil just outside the lid alongside one of his eyes.
