LONDON, March G.-The Beers in
Northern Cape Colony are in full retreat
to the Orange Free State.
The possession of Stormberg puts Cen
eral Gatacre in nilroad communication
with General Clements at Colesberg. for
though the Beers partially wrecked the
railroad, it is understood that it can
be quickly repaired. and thus the entrance
of additional british troops into the Free
State will be greatly facilita ted. From
Csfontein, where Marshal Lord Roberts
is opposed by a good sized body Of Boz
ers. there is still no news except re-
ports of minor skirnlishes.
The position gained By General Bra
bant at Dordrecht is reported to be ex-
ceedingly strong. According to the Times
correspondent, the Boer numbers alone
enabled them to retreat from Dorrecht
practically unhindered.
He also reports violation of the white
flag by the Beers. and that they delib-
erately fired at close range on etretcher
party.
LEAVE IADYSMITH.
General Whites garrison has begun to
leave Iadysmith and is arriving at the
Moo river camp where troops will re-
main several days, after which they
will go further South. They are enact
ated and exhausted, and say ,the road
to Colenso presents scenes that exceed
in horror those depicted in Dantes In
ferno." Dead men and animals are ly4
ing mutilated and purified, in the
trenches formerly occupied by the Beers

crs.

asked to proceed TO East Sound, and on
the spur of the moment consented. The
tug which had been chartered proved
slow and uncomfortable and TO add 10
the discomfort OF the trip the tide was
