President Kruger is said to have prom

and the stublx*rn burghers seem to be
closing around the place in such force as
promises to Ixi troublesome, especially
when it is realized that the activity of a
strong Jkx-r force in tho vicinity of
Puardoberg has ah-cady interrupted di
rect communication.
A dispatch from Kimberley, dated
Sunday, says there is great Boer activity
along the Vaal river. About (i.OOO burgh
ers have assembled at various ixiints lx--
tween Fourtoeu Streams and Christiana.
About 700 men are occupying the mul
north of Kilipdam and 400 ineu are
laagered at Boestup.
Tho war office has rooeivod another
dispatch from Ljr<l Roberts, (kited at
Bloemfontein, Sunday, in which, after

gives a pai-liul list of the mi; sing British
officers. Of battery four officers were
niiwaiiii/ One minner was killed and 40
conimissinea otff'x.-rs and men are still
missing. Lord Rolx-rts then continues;
“In U battery all are missing except
Major Kyllcr and u sergeant major. Tho
two cavalry regiments did not sulfur
much.
“A report 1ms just come in that tho
enemy has retir* d to Iridylir.iud, leaving
two wounded officers anil some 70 men
at the waterworks.”
A dispatch from Bloemfontein this
morning i-ejxirts that tho water supply
of the place has been cut off. This is
tho natural s<:(iuenco of the success of
the Boors at the waterworks.
