      \textit{A. Lelek} in [Colloq. Math. 37, 35--45 (1977; Zbl 0368.54006)] introduced the notion of surjective semispan for metric continua. In the paper under review, using uniformities, the author extends Lelek's definition to Hausdorff continua (compact connected Hausdorff spaces). The author proves that chainable Hausdorff continua have empty surjective semispan. As a consequence he shows that each map from a Hausdorff continuum onto a chainable continuum is universal; in particular, he obtains that chainable Hausdorff continua have the fixed point property.
