Dewet’s 3000 Men Break From Thaba Nchu Line
Pretoria reports General Dewet with three thousand troops forming a blocking force as he moves south along the Thaba Nchu line. Boers disband a Transvaal eastern force to ease escape while horse sickness disrupts districts and hampers communications. Eastern line attacks prompt a large combined movement to clear the region of Boers and supplies. Columns under Smith-Dorrien, Campbell, Alderson, Knox, Allen, Dartnell and Guell coordinate eastward to pressure Boer forces. President Wheeler says McKinley will likely speak at UC Berkeley commencement May 16, indicating a Pacific coast trip despite contrary rumors.
