BoER MIsMANAGEMENT.

The Boer defeat at Glencoe, with a
loss reported at eight hundred killed
and wounded, is result of divided
counsels and mutual jealousies between
the old and young Beers. The Boer
force scheduled to advance upon the
British numbered 10000, in several col
umns. The old Beers wished to delay
the attack until the entire force was in
Tedinness to strike the British but the
younger element, with the proyerbial
impetuosity of youth, pushed on, en-
gagged the English, and were beaten.
Hearing OF this, the main body of the
Beers fell back, and the English scored
victory, although with the loss of
three hundred killed and wounded. Cen
eral Symons being among the latter
The Boer detachment lost five guns and
appear TO have been generally democrat
lied. The Importance of the victory to
the English is greater far than the mere
winning of the field of battle. To q
certain extent it will demoraliZe the
Beers, while eleyating the morale of the
British, and will give hope and courage
to the entire English rank and file.
The kilograms dwell upon the infer
Tor craftsmanship of the Beers in this
battle, something they have been noted
for in the past. The explanation of
this probably lies in the fact that only
the young men were engaged. The old
and tried veterans were not upon the
field at all, else the English loss would
have been much greater. Still three
hundred killed and wounded out of two
regiments and two or three batteries is
sufficient indication that eventually
English triumph is going to be won only
at the cost of many lives.
