BoMBARDMENr or KIMBERLEY.
British War Office Issues N Brief Diary
of Operations.

London, Nov. 23.-The war office this
evening issued dispatch from Cape
Town which is brief official diary of
events at Kimberley from November IL
to November II. 1t shows that no Sc
rious engagement occurred between
those dates; that the British losses have
been infinitismal, and that the Boer
losses were probably very small. The
final entry Indicate. that the Beers, an
ticipating the advsrc # the relief col
umn under General .nethuen, have tax
en- up defensive positions to the south
of the town. The dispatch follows:
Kimberley, Nov. 12-The Beers fired
four hundred ehells yesterday. Our ex-
penditure up-to date is about two hum
dred shells.
November 13-There was a desultory
bombardment to-day, the Boer practice
being Indifferent
November 14-The bombardment
continued to-day.
November 16-At daybreak our
mounted troops made a sortie. The
ulOTHlllS WAS misty anu our SCOUTS CdIie
suddenly upon the Beers, who fired
wildly. An artillery engagement en-
sued. We had two men wounded.
November 17-There was another sor-
tie at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon from
Bulpritein, which drove the enemy to
the edge of Alexandersfontein. Our
only casualty was a captain wounded.
1t is reported that the Beers are con-
centrating south of Kimberley and now
occupy Laagers at Staggstelnfontein
station and Scholz Mex Their camp is
practically surrounded by coppica and
the country is suitable to their tactics"
Diary Of Events at NInfrking.
The diary of events at Mafeking up
to November Is has arrived. 1t gives
little that is new. At that date Col
onel Baden-Powell had no idea of being
relieved for a fortnight or perhaps for
a month. Both Mafeking and Kimber-
ley, however, seem to be regarded as
safe and the reports from the Arundel
reconnaissance say that the Beers were
engaged in destroying the railway. One
account says that after the retirement
an ambulance train with doctors was
sent out from Naauwpoort. If this
were so the British casualties must
have exceeded three.

A BIG BATTLE FOUGHT
Gen. Methuen's Relief Co..
umn Engages the Beers
at Belmont.
SAYS VICTORY IS COMPLETE
THE BOERS DRIVEN FROM THREE
RIDGES IN SUCCESSION.

Forty Prisoners Taken and Good
Number of Boer Dead Found Many
Horses and Cows Captured-Large
Quantity of Ammunition Destroyed
British Victory a Brilliant One but L
aHeavy Loss of Officers and Men.
London, Nov "a, a. m.-Before anX-
iety as to the situation in Natal has
peen relieved, there comes news of a
great battle at Belmont. This hapleE-
ed sooner than was expected. Only the
official account is yet at hand, but, SC
far as can be gathered, the fighting ap-
pears to have been almost repetition
of the battle of Elandslaagte. A de-
spatch of the previous day estimated
that the Beers in that vicinity number
SQ z,UUU anu LHdL LHey udu live guns,
and Judging from the absence Of any
statement to the contrary in the official
dispatch it Is believed that the Brit
ish were slightly superior in numbers
to the enemy. The Beers had chosen
a position with their customary skill
and were strongly intrenched. The
British were obliged to carry three
ridges in succession. Apparently the
Guards bore the brunt in carrying the
last ridge by a bayonet charge after
its defenders had been shaken with
shrapnel. Nothing is said as to wheth-
er the positions so maintained were
held and the destruction of ammunition
seems to indicate that the contrary was
the case. While General Metheun can
be congratulated upon the brilliant vic
tors it is again at cost of a heavy
loss OF officers and men.
