British cavalry waterod their horses at Zand river, Monday, 25 miles beyond 'Smaldoel, where Lord Roberts con tlnnos to date his dispatches. Tho scouts who havo boon searching tho country for miles along tho stream havo found no Boors south' of tho river. Tho enemy are laagered in unknown forco on tho north bank. Thus the British Advance guanl is wltihn 45 mllos of Kroonstad. " Tho war ofllco has issued tho follow ing dispatch from Lord Roberts, dated Smaldeol, May 8: "General Hutton, with mounted in fantry, roconnoltered yesterday to tho Zand rivor, and found tho euomy in considerable foroo. General Broad wood's brigade of cavalry, with Gonoral Ian Hamilton's forco, performed tho samo operation with much the samo result. "Gonoral Hunter reports that ho oc cupied Fourtoon Streams yostorday without opposition, owing in a great moasuro, to tlio nblo disposition mado by General Pagot on tho loft bank of tho Vaal river at Warrenton, whoro his artillery tiro rendorod tho enemy's posi tion practically uutonablo.
