ed the British TO take the initiative and
storm strong positions defended by mod
ern artillery and by troops whose desper-
ate valor equals that of the attacking
army.
The advantage gained by the burghers
through their early declaration Of war is
now manifest. 1t has enabled them to
fight when and where they choose, while
the British, instead of massing their
troops at the seacoast for a general ad-
vance, have been forced to dispatch weak
divisions To the relief of the various be-
leaguered garrsons.
So far the British have carried oui their
plan of campaign, but at enormous cost.
Every inch of their way has been dis
puted by an active, resolute foe, wary,
skiliful and acquainted with every kopje
and vantage ground in the scene of OPP
erations The battle of Modder river,
which lasted ten hours, is described by
the British commander as ''oce OF the
hardest fights in the annals of the Brit
ish army" Such desperate contests are
certain in the long run To tell upon the
Beers, who, however brave, cannot hold
out forever against the grim determina-
tion of the invaders and their great re-
serves of strength.
Re-enforcements are oeing hurried from
the Cape. Strengthened by these fresh
accessions of horse, foot and artillery,

SLAUGHTER AT MoDpER RIVER.
Terrific British -Boer Battle Near Kim
berley Lasts Ten Hours.

I.
The supreme test of strength between
the Beers and British in western Cape
Colony occurred Tuesday, when Gen.
Lord Methuen's column, advancing to re-
lieve Kimberley, was opposed by the
main Boer force Mt the Modder river,
twenty-five miles south Of Kimberley.
The action commenced with the artillery,
mounted infantry and the guards on the
right and the Ninth brigade on the left.
Methuen's force attacked the Boer posi-
tion with widely extended formation
supported by artillery. Gen. Methuen
found himself i'm front or the whole Boer
force, comprising 5000 men, with two
large guns, four Krupps and other pieces.
The naval brigade rendered great assist
ance from the railway. After desperate,
hard fighting, lasting ten hours, the Brit
ons, without food or water, under burn
ing sun, made the enemy quit his posi-
ton. That the slaughter was enormous
cannot be doubted. Gen. Methuen him
self was wounded and Col. Northcott and
Lieut.. Col. Stopford are among the dead.
In the short space of seven days Gen.
Lord Methuen, with British force of
1000 men, marched fifty-three miles and
fought three important battles on the
western border of the Orange Free State.
In each of these engagements the British
were victorious, but at a cost that is very
severe to so small n body of combatants.
From the outset the Beers have compell-

BATTLE AT GRAS PAN.
Gen. Methuen Meets Boer Force Ten
Miles from Belmont.


Miles from Belmont.
Gen. Lord Methuen's force, advancing
to the relief OF Kimberley again met the
Boer army at Gras Pan, ten miles north
of Belmont, Saturday, and desperate
battle, lasting. many hours, ensued. The
engagement was not ended when the ofii-
cial report was sent but 1t was construed
as a British victory, despite heavy losses,
in which the naval detachment stood
more than its share. A recapitulation of
the losses by Gen. Methuen's forces at
Gras Pan shows that fifty Beers were
killed and twice as many wounded. The
battle began at u a. NJ, lasting until 10
a. m. Boer losses must have been much
heavier than known. Fifty horses were
found dead where the Beers withstood
a steady rain Of shrapnel. The British
did not pursue the routed forces of the
enemy, but halted one day TO rest
The brunt OF the fighting in both en-
gagements was borne by the Ninth brig
ade the naval brigade, the Second York
shire light infantry and First North Ian
cashire regiment. The Boer force was
composed of Transvaal and Free State
commandos. Its artillery was command
ed by the Transyaal general, Delarraye.
The artillery was carried off the field, de-
spite the thanking attack of the British
cavalry. Among the killed We're Com
mander Alfred T. Ethelstcn of the crnis-
er Powerful Captain Guy Senior of the
Royal marine artillery, attached TO the
battleship Monarch, and Maj. Plumbe of
the Royal marines. Flag Captain X. g..
prathers was severely wounded. The
Beers shelled camp of Rhodesian horse,
north of Crocodile river, and captured the
horses and mules Of the squadron.
Up to date the Beers hold as prisoners
thirty-nine officers, 1,237 men and sixty
two political prisoners. The total Brit
ish losses since the opening of the cam
paign on Oct. Is are 222 killed, SS1
wounded and cjT6 missing, making "A total
of 2.779. About 400 who are not ac-
counted it is feared, were killed.
Gen. Methuens second battle foreshad-
ows hard campaign for the British. The
information sent by correspondents con-
cerning Gen. Joubert's movements is not
altogether reliable, and engagements may
be looked for in unexpected places.
Gen. Joubert in an interview, declares
the British will be greatly weakened by
their losses, and that defensive war by
the Beers will result in guerrilla warfare
the British could not long endure.
A dispatch from Rome says many ltal-
ians are leaving there to join the Beers.
Fhe Beers in their marches frequently
halt their horses and 6ismount to pray
for divine guidance and aid. As the sec
ond stand by the Beers at Gras Pan was
only ten miles from where the first en-
gagement took place, another battle is
expected as soon as the British again ad-
vance.
