WITH GENERAL BULLER
PROBA&I*EI EFFECTS OF THE ARMISTICE. FORCED BOER RETIREMENT. BRITISH CASUALTIES SMALL. Received June 12, 10 a.m. London, June 11. General Bailer's concession of an armistice is criticised as enabling the force he surrounded to escape with their guns. The British have turned the Drakensberg range, forcing the Boers to retire m the direction of Standerton. The British on Sunday night occupied a defile at the junction of the Klip River and Gausvlei, anticipating three thousand Boers, who, with heavy guns, were dispersed. Six British were killed and seven grounded.
