and at times the contest was very close.
In one inning the Ephraimites made
five runs and if they had been able to
bunch their hits in the succeeding in

the game.

Many other officers Killed and Wound

LONDON. oct. 2l.-The list OF casual
ties issued by the war office today
shows that in the battle between Glen
coe and Dundee yesterday one colonel,
three captains and fve British lieu
tenants were killed. and one general,
one colonel, three majcrs, six captains
and nine lieutsnants were wounded.
General Symons Wounds are consid-
cred mcrtal
General Symons was one Of the few
who escaped on that memorable Jan
uary morning at Isandula, when near
ly the whole OF his regiment, the gal
LAM Twenty-fourth, perished. Thus
there is tragic completeness in his vic
tory near the scene Of the massacre.
The operations thus far seem to
show that Orange Free State Beers
have a strong dislnclination to fight at
close quarters, This was anticipated,
The Transvaal Boer is a rough farmer,
accustomed to live in the open ait and
10 bivouac. The Free State burghers
live H. comfortable brick houses and
are more civilized. 1t would also ap-
pear as was predicted, that only the
younger burgh4rs Of the Free State
have responded to the call to arms.
There is considerable speculation re
sarding the numerous naval move
ments The officers of the channel
squadron, which is under orders to pro-
ceed to Gibraltar next Tuesday, believe
1t is going there for guard duty, as the
garrison at the Rock is weak at pres
ent 80
According to the outlook, 1t is re-
ported Kruger has issued letters of
rnaruue to French orivateers to prey
lpon British transports on the way to-
the Cane. Although France is officially
friendly, there is no guarantee that cue
pidity will not tempt private owners TO
ht out ships. This is said to explain
the dispatch of the British frst-class
protected cruisers Diadem and Niobe,
very fast vessels, to Las Palmas which
is an admirable place Of observation.
The list Of officers killed and wounded
shows that while the British victory
was complete, It was bought at heavy
price. This heavy loss among officers
was due to valiant conduct in sticking
TO the traditions of the British army
and refusing to use the cover Of which
the men avalled themselves during the
storlnng Of the Boer positions. Among
the rank and file, the Hussars had sew
en- wounded. the artillery one killed
and three wounded, the Leicestershire
regiment one wounded, Kings rifles IL
killed and 6S wounded, Irish fusileers
IA killed and 30 wounded.

THE BATTLE WAS LONG.

Eight Hours Fighting Took Place Be
fore the Beers All Retreated
LONDON, Oct, 2l,-The early dis
patches regarding yesterdays battle
conveyed the impression that the whole
aftair was over In couple of hours,
the British artillery silencing the Boer
guns and infantry, and then simply
charging right over the hill, According
to latest advices, however, the battle
lasted eight hours and nearly seven
hours elapsed before the last Boer gun
was put ont OF action,
The Irish fuslleers and Kings rifles,
meanwhile, had advanced 10 the as
sauit and We're shooting their way up
the hill. driving the Beers back from
shelter to shelter. until the final rush
OF the British carried them TO the sum-
nit.
A curious fact was that several times
lull occurred in the firing on both
sides, the British infantry apparently
taking a breathing space in the stiff
climb and the Beers also holding back
their fire, &.
The magnificent practice OF the Brit
lsh guns was an immense help, and the
success of the assault was greatly due
thereto. Once the British bayonets
showed on top Of Kopje. the Beers re-
treated. and when. on descending the
other side, they found a British bat
terry and British cavalry outflanking
then, the retreat became a rout
The British guns followed, and, un-
limbering from time to time, threw
shells into the fleeing foe. Heavy rain
began falling during the afternoon
which naturally impeded artillery oper-
ations.
II was a coincidence that yesterday

He asked me some medical questions,
went into the billiard room, ordered
some bottled porter, took glass of it,
saying in English: ''Your health" and
