A BRILLIANT VICTORY.
1t Proves That the Boer Artillery Is
Practically Useless.

London, Oct. 21.-The dispatches re-
ceived from South Africa leave no
doubt that the Beers failed in their
endeavor to execute a combined attack
in Natal and that the British have
achieved brilliant victory, but at the
cost of a heavy list of killed and
wounded.
The Boer plan. it is evident, was to
hold the forces at Ladysmith by DEM
oEstrations Of the Free State burghers
on the western side, so as to prevent re-
Inducements being sent to Glencoe.
The latter place was to be isolated by
cutting the railway between it and
Ladysmith. Finally, large force was
to make q converging attack on Glen
coe.
The first two items of the programme
were successfully carried cut, but the
combined operations against Glencoe
failed, owing, probably, to the fact that
the Boer military organization is too
rough and amateurish to bring large
forces into simultaneous action. 1t is
believed that only 1000 Beers We're III
the actual action. A report says that
5000 more We're advancing from Hat
tingspruit and a battalion of the Lei
cestershire regiment was sent to hold
them in check, but, as already cablea,
this force is now in retreat.
The inference is that only the column
from the direction of Freihid came
into action and that the force from In
gagane failed to arrive in time and
definitely retired after the position
taken up by the hanking column had
been carried by the British troops
Not an impossible explanation is the
difference of opinion between the
younger and the older Beers. Where
the former were determined at all cost
to push on and attack without delay,
the older Beers, who wished to wait
until all the columns were ready, had
fallen back to Newcastle and left the
others TO fight alone. AS result of
this hastiness the Beers were defeated
and lost a number of guns. 1t is con-
sidered probable that the older Beers
will in the future decide the mode Of
conducting the campaign and mutual
recriminations, if nothing else, will
hamper and delay their future action.
1t is almost impossible to overestimate
the importance OF this initial victory,
the result of an engagement in which.
in a fairly fought field, discipline and
tactical skill have told heavily.
Besides restoring British prestige, it
has proved that the Boer artillery.
whether directed by Germans or not,
is practically valueless.

REPORT CONFIRMED.
The Fusiiiers Captured the First Guns of
---. the War,

London, Oct 20.-The reported Boer
attack on the British position at Glen
coe was confirmed early to-day and
thanks to the promptitude Of the war
office (whose messages naturally take
precedence) in publishing the official
dispatches from Sir George Stewart
White, the public has been enabled to
follow the contest and to discriminate
between the actualities and the unre-
liable rumors that have flooded the
papers.
1t appears that during the night the
Boer artillery occupied a hill overlook
ins the British camp and began drop
ping shells at daybreak in the direc-
ton of the British forces. The latter,
under General William Symon, prompt
ly accepted the challenge and prepared
to meet the invaders with their artil-
lery, which appears to have been work.
ed with such advantage as to quickly
silence the enemy's batteries, enabling
the infantry to carry the Boer position
with a rush, in which the Dublin fusi-
liers and the Kings Royal Rifles are
said to have specially distinguished
themselves. The fusiliers' charge cap
tured the first guns of the enemy ta-
ken in the present action.
A dispatch from Mafeking by way OF
Kimberly reiterates the story of a Boer
repulse there with severe loss. The
British had Corporal Walsh and Cor
poral Williams wounded and several
men killed.

The best evidence of what has been

the reports Of the grand officers, which

the first meeting of women az Cleye

object the inauguration OF war against

movement which soon became national

said that the average of the age of
