War Telegrams. j PRETORIA, Undated (via Bloemfontein, ¡ Wednesday). I General Hutton has fought a smart engagement with General Snyman's commando. He marched from here towards Rustenburg. 011 the Rustenbnrg road he met General Baden-Powell on his way to Pretoria. It was ascertained that General Snyman's commando was in the vicinity, and the two forces joined and attacked the Boers. There was not much fighting. After a slight skirmish the Boers retreated. They could not get away quickly enough, however, and General Hutton captured 150 of them. Two guns also fell J into our hands. General Methnen has fought another successful engagement at Englebrpchts Kop, near Yereeniging. He attacked a body of Boers in a strong position, and drove them off. Another case of abuse of the white flag has occurred near here. A party of Cork Militia were sent to a farm to collect rifles, when the farmer fired on them. The man had given in his submission, and undertaken not to bear arms again. —Central News. BEIRA, Tuesday. Mr. Rhodes is making a tout of all the mines I and towns in Rhodesia. This will probably occupy him three months. All the troops for the Rbcdenan Field Force have now left Beira.- Reutei*. Mr. Bennet Burleigh tends the following to the "Daily Telegraph." PRETORIA, Friday, June 22nd (via Bloemfon- tein, Tuesday, June 26th). I General Sir Archibald Hunter will arrive at Johannesburg to-day and here to-morrow. His troops are guarding the railway, and are echeloned from Klerkdorp. General Pole-Carew's Division yesterday moved from here, and re-occupied the kopjes at Pienaar's Post. It is reported that 2,000 men of Botha's commando are hanging about. On the previous night a few Boers sniped Colonel Henry's z5 mounted infantry, but no casualties occurred. The last two days have been cold, and much rain continues to fall. The railway to the south has been restored. Lord Kitchener is here. Lord Methuen drove De Wet off on Wednesday. De Wet is now pressed from all sides. General Baden-Powell returned to Rustenbnrg on Wednesday, cycling part of the way. Lord Roberts accompanied him to the outskirts of Pretoria, which it is settled shall be the capital. General Baden-Powell is to administer a large dis- trict. Three hundred of General Carrington's Canadians have reached Rustenbnrg. General Baden-Powell recently forwarded a big convoy of waggons which he had captured, to General Carrington. The following despatch was received from Lord Roberts on Thursday PRETORIA, Wednesday (1.40 p.m.) A small force, accompanied by Lieutenant colonel Drieper, consisting of mounted troops and two guns of No. 8 Field Battery, were attacked by a body of the enemy, under Prefers and Nel, on the morning of the 28th, seven miles north of Senekal. Drieper beat the enemy off, and burnt their laager. Our casualties were three killed and ten wonnded. Hunter, temporarily commanding Ian Hamil- ton's column, made one march yesterday, from Heidelberg towards Frankfort, without meeting with any opposition. A body of the enemy attacked the Roodeval Spruit post on the railway yesterday, but were easily beaten off by a detachment of Shropshire Light Infantry, West Australian Mounted Infantry, and a 15-pounder gun on an armoured train. Baden-Powell reports that one of his-patrols captured an influential Boer named Ray, who had been endeavouring to raiae a commando in the Rnstenberg district, and that another patrol brought in over one hundred rifles, making over one thousand rifles and one thousand inferior pieces taken during the last few days. He also states that thirty Liebteiiburg Boers arrived at Rustenburg, going to their homes from Delarey's commando. They said they would have left before had they seen my procla- mation, which is carefully withheld by the Boers in authority. Yesterday was a record market day in Pretoria, farmers from the neighbourhood having come in large numbers to sell their produce. -+-
