A GENERAL MOVEMENT.
Smalldell, May 6-The movement that
eliminated in the capture of Winburg
and Sma!ldcll was part of great gene
raj movement extending from General
Hunter on the west, to General Rumble,
on +he east. Lord Roberts admirable
stragety resulted in placing everywhere
five British to one Boer. Out Of what
appeared the inextricable confusion of
divisions and brigades order was
quickly envolved, and the Beers were
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 thanking col
umns will advance and outhank the
Beers.
Yesterday the Beers held a really
strong position, from which, earlier in
the campaign, they could only have
been forced by hard fighting. General
Hamilton's arrival at Winburg, al
though not directly outfianking the
Beers. made their position extremely
uncomfortable. General Hutton's move

Beers were killed.
