London. oct. 21.-The Daily News
publishes the following dispatch from
it's special correspondent concerning
the Glencoe battle:
Glencoe. Natal. Friday Afternoon
The first battle has been fought and
the Beers have sustained blow which
will give them serious pause in their
advance southwark.
In the British camp last night 1t was
the general expectation that today
would not pass without some nara
lighting.
The enemy had been reported ad-
vancing in force. and this rumor had
been confirmed by a squadron OF Hus-
sars. which Lad been sent out TO re-
connoitre.
MORNING SHOWS THE FOE.
When dawn broke this morning IL
was discovered that the Beers during
the night had occupied a strong posi-
tion on Dundee hill. about three miles
east and overlooking the camp and the
town. They had placed seVeral guns
in position.
Almost precisely at o'clock came
the boom OF their first shot. and with
in a few minutes they had developed
a heavy fire. Their practice was. how
ever, poor and their shots did no dam
age.
BOERS' GUNS SlLENCED.
In the meantime our own guns had
taken uD the challenge. IL became soon
apparent that whatever might be the
issue of the fight our artillery would
not be in fault.
Our fire was magnificent Within 10
minutes after our first shot the Boer
guns were stenced.
By this time the enemy could be seen
swarming over the hill outside of Dun
dee and making toward the south.
Their intention evidently was to turn
our position.
ADVANCE OF INFANTRY.
An advance was at once ordered Of
infantry and cavalry. Both moved out.
and soon the battle was raging in the
valley outside of the town.
hot rifle fire was kept up by our
men. no advantage offered by the ma
ture Of the ground being neglected.
The advancing force was effectually
covered by our guns. which continued
TO play upon the enemy's position.
The fire OF the Beers at this point
was decidedly weak. II seemed as II
their ineffective artillery work might
have taken the heart out Of them.
our men continued steadily 20 ad-
vance i'm the face of their fire and
reached the foot OF the hill in fine form.
BRILLIANT DASH UP THE HILL.
The Beers. seeing themselves worst
ed fell back and relred toward the
east. our losses have been heavy, but
no details are vet Drocurable.
The final dGsh up the Hill was brill
liant affair. The Dublin Fusiliers did
fine work.
Nothsg at this time can be said OF
the enemy's losses. but they must have
been very serious.

London, Oct 21.-The Marquis OF
Dufferin and Ava, commodore of the
Royal Ulster Yacht club. replying to a
request by the Associated Press for an
expression OF opinion regarding the con-
test for the Americas cup telegraphed
today:
Il can only offer my .warmest con-
gratuations 20 the yachting world Of
America on the success OF their ship

ing upon the result says: mo expert

erican- yacht builders and yachtsmen
are entitled TO fun credit for their sue
cess.
The history of the contest seems to
show that. however, fine a boat our de-
signers may produce the Americans can
go il one better. The or seal of sailing
across the Atlantic and racing in
strange winds and waters evidently
constitutes a handicap that British
yachtsmen do not fully appreciate.
The Glasgow Herald after congratu-
latlng American yachtsmen and thank
ing them for the courtesy and good
temper with which the races We're con-
Quoted, says:
