BATTLE OF MoDDER RIVER.
Fuller Details of the Great Engage
mcnt between British and
Doer Forces.

London, Dec. 5.-A correspondent
with Gen, Lord Methuen's column, tele-
graphing from Modder river last
Thursday, says:
THE Waterloo of the campaign has been
fought and won. The battle was conducted
with unprecedented stubbornness on both
sides. There was one continuous roar, like
the explosion of countless firecrackers.
There was no flinching on either side, and
not a moments pause. For five hours the
British batteries poured tons of shrapnels
and shells into the Boer positions. Lord
Hethuen had % guns and each fired an av-
erage OF 200 rounds The Beers had an al
most equal number of guns, which, it is
reported, were mostly served by French
and German artillerists
TT is believed that the Beers had occu-
pied the position seven weeks before and
had spent the interval in fortifying and
rendering it, as they considered, impreg-
nable. They did not seem to fear to spend
their ammunition and their guns were well
and smartly handled.
owing to the bend in the river on the
right, the Beers had an opportunity of
cross-firing on the British attack. A Boer

England is still without details of the
great battle at Modder river and even
an estimate of the total British casual
ties is still impossible. That the slaugh
ter was enormous cannot be doubted.
Gen. Methuen himself was wounded
and Col. Northcott and Lieut.. Col.
Stopford are among the dead. The
British advance is now within 20 miles
of Ladysmith.
Latest advices say that the revolution
in Colombia is spreading and gaining
strength.
Absence of war news causes uneasi-
ness in London. A Berlin dispatch says
that Lord Methuen is unable TO cross
the Modder river and that his retreat
is cut off by Commandant DeiaIraye,
who is operating near Kaflirs Kop.
Gen. Otis advices to the war depart
ment show that the advance into the
interior is being vigorously pushed and
the American troops continue to drive
back and disperse the scattered bands
encountered. Gen. Conon has surren-
dered 500 officers and men with rifles,
several American and 10 Spanish pris-
oners and the garrison Mt Bayombong.

hotchkiss was directed with marvellous ac'
curacy against British maxim, killing the,
sergeant in charge, wounding an Officer
and disabling the gun. This occurred quite
at the beginning of the engagement. When
ever the Boer fire was silenced in one di-
rection it was Immediately reopened in an
other. Owing to the terrific fire nobody on
the plain was out of range. Stretcher bear
ers found it impossible to go forward in
the few cases they were called upon to at

possible, to crawl out of the lines.
mo quarter seems to have been given on
either side. The British assert that. amid
the bullets, the ambulance wagons dis
played their flags promiscuously to no ad-
vantage, These were repeatedly driven
back and compelled to take refuge out OF
sight. 1t is alleged that the Beers used
dumdums and made special targets of the
horses on the plain in the hope of hitting
the riders. While the Argyll highlanders
were pushing across the river they We're
fired upon from a house and several fell.
Thereupon the highanders stormed the
house, and, although the Beers hoisted a
white flag, no attention was paid to it. and
all the Beers were shot.
"It is reported that Gen. Cronje, with his
contingent, retreated toward Langeberg
at four o'clock in the afternoon. Others
followed in the direction of Jacobsdal, and
the main body of the Beers retired with the
guns about eight in the evening.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
