vanco Is responsible fur tho abandonment of
nloemfonteln. Tho enemy's entrenched
position at Ilrandkop, fouMi of tho town,
might havo defied a front attack, but a
division of eavalry outflanked It, passing
west from Llouwemburg. Tho defenders
thereupon retired precipitately to nloem
fonteln, where a quarrel ensued, tho Trans
vaalers threatening to burn tho town unless
the Free Staters defended It.
Further reports of our advance cnused a
stampede. Thirteen trains, each of forty
crowded wagons, pushed northward before
tho line was cut by Weston Fisher, who only
succeeded In catching tho last train. Driv

burghers desired to detain him to surrender

into which ho had involved his country.
Several thousand Free Staters fled from tho
town, the majority remaining being favor
able to Ilrltlsh rule. They nro astonished
at the clemency shown, expecting plunder,
Imprisonment and worse. A largo proportion
of tho civil olllcers of the Free Stato re
mained at their posts.
Tho town Is absolutely quiet. It Is Im
