BRABANT'S VICTORY.
The Boers Are in Full Retreat From
Dordrecht.
A despatch from Dordrecht says:—,
Following Stinday's success General
Brabant again engaged the Boers on
Monday with advantage, holding the
position captured Sunday. There was
some smart fighting, the British los-
ing five or six men, and capturing the
Boer fort, thus natty improving their
position. The Boers fought tenacious-
ly, oontesting every inch of the ground
but ultimately tthey entreated sudden-
ly, carrying off their guns and wag-,
gons. A mounted force pursued them,
but the result is not yet known.
The British casualties durbag the
, two days were 12 or 18 killed, 30
wounded. The Boers' losses were 'un-
kn,own. Throughout the arduous fight-
ing and severe fatigue the oelonials
have beha.ved splendidly.
