Gen. Robcrts' Dispatch.
I received news, late yesterday even

Thaba N'Chu, SO miles east of here,
that information had reached him
that the enemy was approaching in
two forces, from the north and the
east. He stated that if the report
proved true, he would retire towards
the w~aterworks, II miles nearer Bloem-
fcntein, where we have had a detach-
ment of mounted infantry for the pro-
lection of the works.
"Broadwood was told in reply that
the ninth division, with Martyrs
mounted infantry, will march at day
light to-day to support him, and that
if he considers it necessary he should
retire from the waterworks. He
moved there during the night and
bivouacked. At dawn to-day he was
shelled by the enemy, who attacked
on three sides. He Immediately dis.
patched two horse artillery batteries

it was not until the wagons and
guns were entering the drift, that the
Beers showed themselves and opened
fire. Many of the drivers of the artil'
lerv horses were Immediately shot
down at short range, and seven Oh
the guns were captured. The remain.
der galloped away, covered by Rob

Meanwhile, Lieut.. Chestermasters

across the spruit %unoccupied by the
ercmy, by which the remainder q
Broadwood's force crossed. They re
formed with great steadiness, not
withstanding all that had previously
occurred.
"Eroadwood's report, which has just
reached me, and which contains no dc
tails, stated that he had lost sever
guns and all his baggage. He est.
mates all his casualties at about $50
Including 200 missing.
