Methuen has left Hocpstad to cooperate
with this force"
! A correspondent with General Hunter
telegraphs as follows from Fourteen
Streams: .Colonel Mahon's relieving
column left Earkley West under secret
orders the 4th inst and reached Vryberg
the 18th. The Beers marched on the
right flank Of the British and strange
race followed, Mahon pressing toward
Mafeking with the utmost speed con-
sistent with keeping the force in condi-
ton and the Beers hurrying parallel in
an effort to pass him and to throw
themselves across his path. The Beers
succeeded. He then turned west during
the night. The Beers followed, over
took and attacked him in the bush, but
were beaten off,"
The railway head is expected to be at
Kroonstadt today. The congestion of
traffic at Smaldeel delays Lord Roberts
advance. but his cavalry continues ac-
tive throughout a wide radius east and
southeast of Kroonstadt.
The infantry advance steadily. Gen
erals Colville and Rnndle shift their
headquarters each second day. The
Beers are retreating northward from
Harrismith. Raiding and sniping are
decreasing.
Lord Roberts is advised that little re-
sistance need be expected south of Kip
river. near Johannesburg, where the
natives are digging trenches, but the
position, according to correspondent,
can be turned. The same authority
thinks it improbable that there will be
any desperate defense south OF Pretoria
and that even the capital of the Trans
vaal is likely to be evacuated. The
orders from the war Office directing six
more siege trains to go out, however,
indicate preparations in expectancy of
siege.
The war office announces that 1 YES
