Il received news late yesterday even
ing from Colonel Eroadwood, at Thaba
d'Chu, t~hirty-eight 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 water
works, seventeen miles nearer Bloem-
f%ontein, 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 today to support him, and that if
he considers it necessary ne should
retire from the waterworks. He moved
there during the night and bivouacked.
AT dawn today he was sh-lled by
the enemy, who attacked on three
sides. He Immediately dispatched two
horse artillery batteries and mis- bag
gage toward Bloemfontein. covering
some of them with his cavalry.
Beers Were in Ambush.

works the road crosses q deep nullah.

force of Beers had concealed them
selves. So well were they hidden that
our leading scouts passed over the
drift without discovering them, and it
was no until the wagons and guns
were entering the drift that the Beers
showed themselves and opened fire.
Many of the drivers Of the artillery
horses were Immediately shot down at
short range and several of the guns

which suffered heavily.
Meanwhile, Lieutenant Chestermas-
tiers of RemingtOn'S scouts found a
passage across the spruit unoccupied
by the enemy, by which the remainder
of BroadwoOd's force crossed. They
reformed with great steadiness. not
wi~thstanding all that had previously
occurred.

stated that he had lost seven guns and
all his baggage. He estimates all his
casualties at about $50, including 200

Rumor of the recapture by the Brit
ish of the sever guns taken from Col
Onel BrOadwood's force, based on a
dispatch TO the Chronicle from BlOem-
fOntein, which is, in all probability, cor
rect, fails to compensate London for
the severe shock experienced by the
humiliating defeat sustained within a
few miles of the headquarters of the
British army of occupation. The public
is painfully surprised to learn after all
that British officers of high position
can still neglect precautions which the
Veriest tyrO might be expected to OBJ

observance OF the elementary military
rules would have revealed.
There is no attempt here to minimize

Kruger Keeping His Promise.

President Kruger is said to have
promised TO reoccupy BIoemfontein
this week, and the stubborn ~burghers
seem to be closing around the place in
such force as promises to be trouble
some. especially when it is realized that
the activity of a strong Boer force in
the vicinity of Paardeberg has already
interrupted direct communication be-
tween Lord Roberts and Kimberley.
But for the overwhelming numbers at
the disposal of Lord Roberts the stu
alton would justly cause Great Britain
greater anxiety.
A special dispatch from BIOemfOntein
this morning reports that the water
supply of the place has been cut off.
This is the natural sequence Of the
Boer success at the Waterworks. But
the authorities are hopeful that the
strong achievements sent by the COM
mander in chief will promptly remedy
this. It is evident from Lord Roberts
dispatch that a big engagement is in
progress. Although it is difficult to es-
innate the number of British engaged,
they probably exceed ever the 5000 or
10000 men which the Beers are estimat-
ed TO number.

COMPULSORY
VACCINATION
One New. Case Reported To-
Day-Three Sent to Pest
House Yesterday.

The compulsory vaccination law is to
be rigidly enforced and those who fail
to comply with it will be liable to a fine
of IS.
The order was given out today and
the police are expected to see that 1T is
enforced. Health officer J.. N. Alexander
informed the police department that
each officer should canvass the houses on
his beat and arrest n one who failed to
show a certificate of vaccination.
I'D to 4 o'clock no arrests had been
made so it is presumed that the officers
have not yet commenced their canvass.
The chief of police has not yet told the
officers to make the anvas and they
will probably not do anything until he
gives the word.
Health officer Alexander is very
much in earnest and says that the only
thing for the people to do is to get
vaccinated. There are now etWee
forty and forty-five cases in the pest
house, and his number. he says, will
be largely increased unless the health
regulations of he city are complied
with. He says that the disease is mild
at the present time, blu will become
fiercer just as soon as the weather gets
colder. He expects that the epidemic
this winter will be fully as great as that
of last year, and un,ess the people get
v~accinated it will be greater. as it has a
better start than it had last year.
Today n new case was discovered
back of Smiths grocery on Excelsior
