LONDON, April 2.-The War Office

April /:
II received news late yesterday eve-
ming from Colonel Broadwood, who was
at Thaba d'Chute. thirty weight miles
east Of here, that information had
reached him that the enemy was ap-
preaching in two forces, from the north
and east. He stated that If the report
proved true he would retire towards
Bloemfontein, where we have had de-
tachmcnt of mounted infantry for the
protection of the works.
"He moved towards the works dur
ing the night and biyouacked. AT
dawn he was sheled by the enemy who
attacked on three sides. He immedi-
ately dispatch two horse artillery bat
teries and his baggage toward Bloem-

his cavalry.
"S9me two miles from the water
works the road crossed deep nullah

not until the wagons and guns were en-
tering the diff that the Beers opened
fire. Many OF the drivers Of the artil-
lery horses were Immediately shot down
at short range and several of the guns
were captured. The remainder gal
loped away, covered by Roberts Horse,
which suffered severely.
Meanwhile Lieutenant Chester Mas
tiers. of Remington's s scouts, found
passage across the spruit unoccupied
by the enemy, by which the remainder
OF Broadwood's forces crossed. They
reformed with great steadiness, not
withstanding all that had previously
occurred.
Broad woods report, which has just
reached me, states that he had lost !
guns and all his baggage. He esti-
mates all his casualties at about $50,
including 200 missing.
"on hearing this morning that Broad
wood was hard pressed, Immediately
ordered General French with two re-
naming cavalry brigades to follow in
support of the Ninth division. The
latter, after a magnificent march, ar
rived on the scene shortly after 2 p. NJ.
THE strength of the enemy is esti
mated at from 5000 to 10000, with ar
tillery."
"bATER-A report has come in that
the enemy has retired toward Lady
brand, leaving twelve wounded officers
and some 20 men at the water works.
We arc now sending an ambulance for
them.

THE MYSTERY OF DREAMS.
A Case I'm Which the Condolences
Were RemarkabIe.

A Case I'm Which the Condolences
Were Remarkable.
On one occasion during the civil war
dreamed that I was standing beside
road when there came marching
along it a strong column Of prisoners,
with guards at intervals on the TANKS.
I asked one of these guards who the
prisoners were and where they had
been captured. He Informed me that
they had been taken in an engagement
with the enemy on the day before and
that there were 1900 Of them. I then
asked some bystander what day Of the
month it was and was told 1t was such
day of certain month, some six
weeks later than the date Of the dream.
The whole dream was extremely dis
tinct, and it made a strong impression
on me. I related it to a number of my
comrades within the next few days
and then thought Of 1t no more.
Six weeks later, on the morning Of
the very day that had been mentioned
in the dream as the date when the col
umn Of prisoners had passed before
me, was on picket two miles distant
from the point where I had seemed
to be when 1 saw them. 1t was soon
after breakfast, and I was standing
by the side of the road at the fire talk
ing to the officer of the picket when an
aid to the commanding general came
riding down the road He had been a
schoolfellow Of our officers at West
Point, and he reined up when he recog-
nized his friend. He told us that he
had good news; that there had been a
sharp engagement with the enemy the
day before and that our people had
captured 1900 prisoners, who had just
passed the headquarters that morning
on their way to the rear.-St. Louis
