this week and the stubborn burghers
seem 10 be closing around the place In
sucn force as promises to be trouble
some, especially when IT is realized
that the activity of a strong Boer force
In the vicinity of Paardsberg has al
ready interrupted direct communica-
ltlon between Lord Roberts and Kim
iberiey- But for the overwhelming num-
Ibers at the disposal of Lord Roberts,
the situation would justly cause Great
britain greater anxiety. AS 1t is, the
nation is beginning to realize from the
nature OF the guerrilla warfare that 1t
Is liable TO embarrass the future move
ments of British troops.
lBLOEMFONTEIN WATER SUPPLY
CUT OFF.
A special dispatch from Bloemfon-
TEN this morning reports that the
water supply Of the place has been cut
on This Is the natural sequence of the
bocr success at the waterworks, but
the authorities are hopeful that the
strong reinforcements sent by the COM
mander-in-chief will promptly remedy
this.
1t is evident from Lord Roberts dis
patch that a big engagement is in prog
ress. Although it is difficult to estimate
the number of British engaged, they
probably exceed even the eight or ten
Thousand men which the Beers are es-
timated to number.
TOTAL DESTRUCTION NARROWLY
ESCAPED.
Bushman's Cop, Sunday, April l.
The Beers who were hidden in the
spruit when the British guns were cap
Itured yesterday were commanded by
Reichman, a German-American.
h Beers retired this morning when
they discovered the British scouts,
leaving W. Dutch military attaches,
one of them dangerously wounded, in
the hands of the British. Al the
wounded are doing well.
Every one agrees hat but for Colonel
IBroadwood's splendid handling of his
troops, not a member of the force
would have escaped. The Beers are still
holding the waterworks and the line of
hills behind them.
[Note.-The foregoing dispatch set
ties the disputed point arising from the
discrepancy in the dispatch from
IBushman Kop of Saturday, and Lord
Roberts dispatch of yesterday, refer
ring to the time of the engagement be-
tween the British and Beers, which is
now shown to be Saturday and not
Sunday, as might have been inferred
from the message from the comman-
Ider-in-chief.l
