BRITISH ARMS
Have Achieved Another Brilliant
victory-Boers Driven From Hill

Have Achieved Another Brilliant
Victory-Boers Driven From Hill
to Hill.
ORANGE RIVER, Monday Nov. 81.
The British arms have achieved a
brilliant victory. The enemy strongly
eutrenched held a range of hills com
mandIng both sides OF the railway at
Roof Laagte. near Gras Pan. The
Lapcashlres, under Lewis, reconnoIter-
ed in an armored train on Friday. The
Beers shelled the train, killing Lewis
and private.
General Methuen then advanced. His
column made a detour and bivouaacked
for the night at Swink's Pan, three
miles from the Boer position. AT dawn
the advance began, the guards form
Ing the reserve. The column de-
bouched on the plain eastward Of the
BOer knpjes The Boer guns opened
fire. Two batteries Of British artillery,
posted on each side, Shelled the Beers,
practice being good upon both sides.
The Boer stuck tenaciOusly to their
positions, firing steadily and accurate
ly. The duel. which constantly became
shells wounded several men OF the ma
val brigade.
Finding 1t impossible to displace the
Beers by artillery, General Methuen re-
solved upon an Infantry attack. A bril-
gude OF Infantry. including the York
shires, the North Amtons, the North
umberlands and the Lancashires, with
the naval brigade on the right, gallant
ly stormed the Boer positions in the
face OF a whitening fire and carried hill
after hill, the brigade under Colonel
Money capturing the main position
against a terrific fire, but suffering
severely, and Commandant RossIlI. who
led the Boer forces. Many Of the Beers
voluntarily surrendered,
The Beers were shelled during the
final retreat, and must have lost heav-
fly, hut they succeeded In getting away
northward with their six guns. The
British were badly in need Of more
cavalry.
"The bulk of the fighting was on
Free State territory, and the engage
ment was admirably planned. Thirty
Boer wounded are under treatment
here. At the close OF the action Lord
Methuen compllmented the naval bril-
gade upon their splendid behavior and
expressed his regret at their losses"

TRANSPORT VICTORIA

Caught in a Severe Storm, and
Is Obliged to Return to Port.
Horses and Mules En- Route to
Manila Are Pounded to Death.
SEATTLE, wash, Nov. 2S.-with a
cargo OF dying horses and mules, and
hfty-hvc empty stalls, the United
States transport Victoria returned TO
port last night, having been forced by
an unprecedented stress OF weather on
Cape Flattery to turn back from her
voyage to the Philippines. OF the 40
horses and mules carried by the Vic
torla, taken on board November %,
fifty-hve were literally pounded to
death against the sides Of their stalls
IN the storm, and the remaining anil
mails are SO badly bruised that the Off
GERS OF the vessel believe that many
cannot be saved.
The Victoria sailed for the Philip
pines November 2S, AS the straits
were neAred high and dangerous sen
was encountered, and the ship rolled
heavily. shipping seas fore and aft.
The stress Of weather increased as the
Victoria advanced toward the open
ocean. On the morning OF November
"a the vessel was rounded just outside
the straits with her head to the wind.
At o'clock on the afternoon Of that
day she was tossing on the crest of
the waves, described in tho log as
mountain high, and the strong gale
blew thick with binding mist, The
transport labored heavily during the
night, and early next fnorRinE steamed
away to the west, but began TO roll
so dangerously that her head was again
brought around to the wind This day
was a repetition OF the preceding, with
the edition Of terrific squalls. The
rolling and pitching Of the ship now
began to have Its effect upon the ami
mails confined in their stalls They had
been pounded from side to ado iAtIl
they were. in a state OF utter eXhRus-
ton. Several died during the night and
the next morning, nd constant dtten-
ton Of Veterinary Surgeon Payle and
stock hands seemed poweriess to save
them.
Under such circumstances 1t was
deemed, after consultation between
Captain Mlchaels and his officers. to
return to Seattle. During the trip in
several more horses died, bringing the
number OF deaths up to flfty-Ave. The
bodies OF the animals were weighted
and thrown overheard as fast as death
came.
Purser Lockwood was seen to-day.
and said that during thirty-sIx voyages
he has made across the Pacific he has
never seen such stress Of weather as
was encountered by the Victoria. The
fuFthest point reached was 200 miles
west OF the Cape While the storm was
at It's height oil bags were entirely
emptied and everything done to ease
the motion Of the ship. Aside from the
loss OF animals no other damage was
done, the Victoria behaving splendidly.
