have evidently determined to adopt en-
tirely new tactics. Two columns are

Cape carts for transport and are carry

abled TO move almost as quickly as
cavalry. Ii Is reported that there are
5000 Beers to the south OF Dewets

point to Odendahl. The burghers
who had returned to their farms are
undoubtedly rejoining the enemy.
