BADEN-POWELL'S REPLY TO DE WET.

Lord Roberts says that General Baden-Powell replied derisively to the Boer summons to surrender and that Commandant De Wet, finding Commando Nek strongly held, changed his route northwards.

GOOD PROGRESS MADE.

General Baden-Powell, keeping in touch with General Paget, has occupied Waterval. General Hamilton has occupied Oliphants Nek and Magaliesberg, capturing two guns from the Boers.
