received here of the encounter with the
Matabele of Captain Brand, as the result
of which he suffered reverse and was

on the Tuli road Captain Brand formed
n laager for the purpose of offering n bet
ter defense against the attack. Some des-
perate fighting ensued. The enemy were
found to be well armed with Martini
rifles, and they directed a strong and well
aimed fire aga inst Captain Brand Maxim
gun, with such good effect that it became
disabled. Captain Brands ammunition
also ran short, and the fierce attack of the
Matabele continuing, the situation of his
force began to grow desperate. They were
finally obliged to fight their way through
the beleaguering enemy's lines. They sue
ceeded in cutting their way out with loss
of five troopers killed and sixteen wound

The enemy's forces only go within short
distances of Buluwayo, and the anxiety
here is most keen, and there are many
fears expressed of an attack by the enemy.
