NEW YORK, May A dispatch to
the Herald from Brandfort, dated We'd
nesday, says To-day was full of
fighting, with an occasional lively
skirmish. The Boer defensive line re-
mains intact and the British attempt
to cut off De Wet and scatter the
erts's flank and rear has been a COM
plete failure so far. There was heavy
fighting yesterday along the Thaba
N'Chu-Sannas Post road, the British
being slowly beaten back. De Wet,
coming from the south, and Grobler
and Lemmer from the north on Mon
day, caught British achievements for
Thaba N'Chu in the apex of an angle,
forcing their withdrawal In yester-
days fighting the Beers had the better
position but the British were superior
in numbers.
The Beers attack was begun on Sun
day night. Under De Wet, Grobler,
Lemmer and Botha they attacked a
large British column near Thaba
N'Chu, which was trying to intercept
De Vets retirement from Wepener.
The battle ragged all day Sunday for
several miles along the Bloemfontein
road. The general result was indecis-
i've, but the British were apparently re-
firing in the direction of Bloemfontein
The Beers captured a number of pris-
oners.
Skirmishing along the Modder river
indicates that Lord Roberts's main
army is advancing northward.

I'VE occupied Brandfort to-day with
out much opposition and without,
hope, many casualties. The first bril-
gade of mounted infantry covered the
left flank of the Fourteenth brigade Of
the Seventh division and the right flank
was supported by the Fifteenth brigade.

ly on Brandfort. The Boer army,
which was under command of Della
rey, retired in a northeasterly direc-
ton
News of the occupation of Brandfort
was issued by the war Office at 10

the position gives the key to one of

the means of cooperation with Gen.

time menaces the Beers now southeast
