THE ACTION AT BELMONT.
F1rRTEER DETAILS OF THE FIGHT IN
WHICH COLONEL KEITH-FAL-
T.
CONER FELL.

London Nov ia dispatch from Orange
River Camp under date of November IL, gives
fuller details of the Belmont engagement of the
previous day. in which Colonel Keith-Falconer'
Of the Northumberland Fusiliers was killed. The
special says the fight was brought about by a
reconnaissance in force to the northward. the
British got three miles beyond Belmont. The
Beers, numbering seven hundred, were strongly
posted on ridge In a position of great natural
strength They commanded by Comman-
der Van Der Nerve. The lanciers and patrols
advanced toward the Beers position across the
plain.
The main British force In skirmsh line Of bat
tie soon drew the enemy's artillery fire, which
was wild and short of range. The Lancers
handled their Maxim WELL raining bullets upon
the enemy so smartly that the Beers scuttled
from their first firing line to a better cover
The Beers used ordinary shells Of poor quail
ity. When their guns demonstrated their inef-
fectiveness Major Lindsay got the range at
thirty-two hundred yards and snenced their
guns with a couple Of shrapnel which burst
over their heads, doing great execution. The
correspondent seys:
We could see the Beers removing their dead
and wounded, while the mounted infantry fired
by volley silencing their rifle fire. 1t was on
The Spitz Kop that suffered the serious casu-
alties of the day. Colonel Keith Faconer was
recommending there with small party, and ad-
vanced within four hundred yards Of the enemy
before discovering them. The Beers suddenly
opened fire Colonel Falconer was the first to
fall shot through the chest Lieutenant Wood,
who had lust replied to his majors orders to
retire. was killed by bullet through his head
| and Lieutenant Hill was wounded in the thigh
on the same spot. Despite these losses, the OFF,
| GERS and men never faltered, but retreated
| coolly covered by the cavalry. The enemy did
! not attempt to follow them On the whole, the
| Beers did not show much stomach for tight.
The bodies of Colonel Keith Falconer and
