Lieut.-General Gutacre is steadily at work pressing the Boers back from the points of vantage they had gained in the north-east parts of Cape Colony. j Since their victory over the British at Stormberg the Boers have been in occupation of Molteno, the town on the eastern railway line from which tho British moved to the scene of the disaster, and also the town of Cyphergat, six miles south of Molteno. Within the last few days General Gatacro has succeeded in dislodging them from both these towns, and they are now retreating northward, in the direction of Stormberg.
