force which for SIX months has eluded
all efforts to corner it. has been cap
tureo by French's column.
The despatch does not state whether
the commander was captured at the
same time or not. AS Commandant
Scheeper has been i'll for some time
and compelled to travel in a special
conveyance, it is possible that he be-
came isolated from his force and it
was thus captured alone.
