Mafeking. dated Ooct. 23, says:
"A bombardment Of the city was
commenced by the Beers at 7:4O a. m.
from range of two and a half miles
by battery of three Krupp guns,
throwing seven, nine and 10 pound ex-
plosive shells. At the beginning the
craftsmanship was erratic, but uti-
mately the gunners got the range ana
soon sent number OF shells into the
town.
Comparatively little damage was
done. A convent which had been con-
verted into a hospital was the chief
sufferer, three of the shells striking the
building. The ammunition used by the
Boers was apparently of an inferior
quality There were no casualties. The
British returned only one shot, which,
being well directed, disabled one of the
enemy's guns.
After three hours the Beers sent all
envoy to ask If the town was prepared
to surrender. Colonel Baden-Powell
replied in the negative. but the she'll
