Vet River, May 6.-General Pole
| Carew started at dnybreak yesterday
on a nineteen-mile march. He first
CAME In contact with Beers holding the
river at l o'clock p. IN. The British
soon had two batteries In action and
later he added two naval nine-pound-
ers, two A. and tive-incb siege guns.
The Beers fired with great accuracy,
and the duel continued unabated, with
terrible din. until sunset. and even
later there was desultory firing. 1t is
marvellous that nobody on the British
side WINS injured.
General Hutton started early to find
the drift on the west.
When this was discovered 1t proved
to be strongly held and protected by
two guns. The British speedily en-
gagged the Beers. who enhladed the
disniounted firing line with Maxim.
but General Hutton pushed forward
and forced the Beers to leave the river
bed.
The encounter was terribly hot.
Later the whole British force crossed
the river, threatening the Boer right.
The Beers must have received about
the same time news of General Ham
ilton's occupation OF Winburg.
About sunset u detachment of twen-
ty-six Australians, who had crept un-
seen toward the river bed, found them
selves near kopje occupied by the
Beers. After firing they fixed bayo-
nets and charged. capturing the kopje.
All was done on their own initiative.
Thus night fell. Early this morning
1t was discovered that the whole Boer
force had fed.
General Hutton during the night got
two squadrons to blow up the line
near Swalstlel.
The British discovered yesterday at
every hundred yards along the railroad
concealed small packets Of high explo-
sives. The Beers hnd destroyed three
bridges over spruits between here and
Brandfort, but IN every case 1t was
possible to make u detour.
The Beers appear to be fighting with
much less spirit. 1t is reported that
they are commanded by General Lucas
Meyer.
The bridge over the Vet river is COM
pletely destroyed.
General Hutton captured Maxim
and took twelve prisoners.
