London, April ia dispatch from

Tile Rucr report of the fighting ON
April 10 at Elandslaagte AYERS that the
advance Of the British camp was made
with The loss Of only mules and pack
horses, while the British report says the
same losses must have been heavy. The
bombardment lasted Ill day.
The Boer announcement Of the reoccu-
patton Of Smithicld by the burghers is
no news, AZ the small British force at
that place withdrew thence after the
Roadcrburg affair.
Nothing has been learned regarding the
rumor Of Colonel BIdcn-Powelfs death.
nor is there anything tending to show
how long the general advance toward
Pretoria will be delayed.

mcnts public interest centcrs more upon
the personality of the new commanders
and in supposition as to what general
will be sent home next.
Reason For Boer Activity.
| According to information received at
| Bloemfontein. the Boer activity eastward
of the railroad and in proximity to the
| border is largely due to the fact that
| Presidents Kruger and Steyn have found
| they are unable to keep their forces to-
gether in inactivity the burghers declar-
| ing they are unwilling to remain with
| their commands unless employed, as they
| are convinced the British game is wait
ing one.
| 1t is believed the Boer movement was
| originally designed to oblige Lord Rob,
| erts to weaken his force at Bloemfontein
| to protect the railroad when the Beers
would have attempted to reeapture the
capital. The burghers are evidently ig
norant of the enormous forces Lord Rob
erts has at his disposal.
Advices from Karee Siding say the
Beers are busily intrenching their posi-
tion east of Brandfort running parable
with the railroad, while still strongly
holding the Waterfall drift waterworks

~ANTl-GAMBLING ORDER.
An Explanation of It's Origin-Chief
Lavell Will Stand Pat.

The order Issued by the chief of police a
few days ago to the effect that the gamb-
lers of the city mus stop business until
given the privilege of again opening up
has not yet been rescinded. The cause
for the issuance of the order was at first
supposed to la some bearing on the po-
litical situation, but it has TRANSFERRED
that such was not the case. According to
the story going the rounds, the chief of
police and Jack Enright had some diff
ficulty over the opening of a new house
by the latter and it resulted in the chiefs
ultimatum to colse. Enright, 1t is alleged
fitted up a room for gambling purpose
on the second floor of the building at the
southeast corner of Main street and
Broadway and connected it by stairway
with the interior OF the California brew
cry. The chief of police objected to the
stairway being inside of the building and
told Enright that unless he closed it and
connected his parlor with the street di-
rect he could not be permitted to open
the house. !1nright it is said, insisted
upon using the brewery stairway and told
the chief that if he was not permitted to
open his parlors he would see to 1t that
the other gambling houses We're closed.
Without waiting for Enright to take steps
towards closing the other houses the chief
Their ordered the proprietors of all the
houses to close up their games. In the
meantime Enright is standing pat on the
proposition, the chief of police is stand
ing just as pat and those who have been
conducting games nave settled down to a
game known as solitary or mental
''freeZe out"
