date of June g follows:
Kelly Kenny. at Bloemfonten, reports that
the telegraph has been cut at Roodeval. north Of
kroonstad, by a body of Beers estimated to be
1000 strong, with six field guns. He is sending
strong renforcements to Kroonstad. and I am
reinforcing from Cape Colony. l hope the inter-
ruption will be only temporary.
AS yet there is no indication whence the strong
body of 1000 Beers arrived at Roodeval. unless
1t is the force mentioned in a recent Boer dis
patch having started from Standerton with
this object in view.
Roodeval is a fairly strong position, thirty
five miles north of kroonstad. capable Of giving
General Kelly Kenny trouble should the Fed
