' The war office has issued the follow ing dispatch from Lord Huberts, dated Smaldeel, May 8: "General Hntton, with mounted in fantry, reconuuitored yesterday to the Zand river, and found the enemy in considerable force. General Broad- wood 't brigade of cavalry, with General Ian Hamilton'! force, performed the same operatlou with much the same result. General Ilontcr reports that he oc cupied Fourteen Streams yesterday wltlamt opposition, owing iu a great messure, to the able disposition mane by ( ieneral Paget on tha left bank ot tl.e Vaal river at Warrenton, where hit artillery fire rendered the enemy's posi tion practically untenable. A slx-incii gun was found most useful. . At the Sixth and half of the Fifth brigades of infantry advanced under cover of the artillery, the enemy retired precipitate ly, abandoning their clothing, ammuni tion and iersonal effects." The Free Staters, in the expectation that Kroonstad will speedily become untenable, are, according to informa tion form Lourenco Marques, preparing to transfer their government to lieu urou, a little inoie than 50 miles north east. Correspondents at headquarters are now wiring freely concerning the inci deuts connected with the occupation of Smaldeel. Some exaa iration it ex pressed at the ease with which the Boers escaped with their transports before the very eyes of the British. J-or instance, when the British entered SmaHoel, the ltoerox wagous coolly outspanod only five mile away, as if in contempt of the ability ot the Biitish to overtake them.

The Mafeking correspondent of the Times, who also emphasizes the ex trome gravltv of the aituatlon, says: 'It is impossible to ignore the fatal significance ot Colonel Baden-Powell's reference to the hardships endured by the women and children, among whom many deaths have already occurred The commissariat it holding a certain stock of foodstuffs in reserve for use in tho direst extremity."
