9 killed and 16 wounded. Two ser
geants and one private were killed in
ambushes while escorting provision

Of the Thirty-ifth infantry with a
gatling, a three hours fight, during
a night attack The loss of the in
surgents in this engagement is not
included in the foregoing total, as

London, April 25.-The war office
has received the following dispatch
from Lord Roberts:
BIoemfontein, April 25.-Gen. Pole-Ca-
rew's division reached ROOde kop yester-
day without casualties. It's advance was
covered by cavalry and horse artillery
which drove back the enemy with heavy
loss. their dead being left on the ground
The mounted troops halted for the night
at GrOOtfOntein and at 7.50 this morn
ing were crossing the AOdder river at
Nalsbank in accordance with instructions
TO French to endeavOr to place himself
astride the enemys line OF retreat.
French's arrival near the MOdder evil
IDENTIFY, however, alarmed the Beers, who
evacuated their strong position near
De Vets dOrp during the night and it was
occupied by Chermside's division The
mounted infantry under Indian Hamil-
ton drove the enemy on the kOpjes in the
neighbOrhOOd Of the waterwOrks without
casualties on our side.
Roberts Has Spread Net
London, April 25.-The indicisive
action and slow progress Of Gems. Hart
and Brabant are relatively unimpor-
tant when compared with the progress
Of Gen. French. It is now evident that
Lord Roberts wishes not only to de-
feat the Beers, but to pen them in as
at Paardeberg. To this end 10000
British troops are concentrating in
the southeastern portion Of the
Orange Free State and are operating
according to carefuIly-deyised plans
in which the delay may be as much
due to strategy as to necessity The
success of this important movement
almost entirely depends on Gen.
French. If he can sweep down from
the north with the raPidity of exc
cutiOn which he displayed at Kimber-
ley and Paardeberg, he viii effect
the same swift, sudden transfOrma-
ton which followed the cavalry
evoIutions two months ago. Ac-
cOrding to last accounts he was push
ing on successfully. Every day the
Beers remain at Wepener improves
Gen. French's chance OF success.
To put a girdIe round the $4,000
Beers estimated to be in the south
eastern part Of the Orange Free State,
Lord Roberts has evidently taken
large chances. The British critics
differ regarding the result, some de-
claring II Is impossible for the Beers
to escape from the net, while others
reserve their opinion until more
definite news Of Gen. French's prog
ress is received
Hart and Brabant Kept busy
AliwaI North, April 25.-It is re-
ported that firing has been heard
between Zaetron and WePener, and
it Is believed that Gems Brabant and
Hart are in contact with the enemy.
The Beers are so numerous that it
took them two days to cross the
CaldeOn river at Bastard's drift.
Col. Dalgety was severely attacked
with six guns, probably with view of
preventing him assisting the relief
column. 1t seemed yesterday that
Dalgety had practically been relieved
but the offensive attitude assumed
by the Beers shows this idea to have
been erroneous.
