THE Il
In Their Endeavors to Execute -
Combined Attack. e


London, Oct. 22.-The dispatches re-
ceiyed from South Africa leave no
doubt that the Beers failed In their
endeavor to execute a combined attack
In Natal, but that the British have
achieved n brilliant victory, but at the
cost OF a heavy list of killed and
wounded.
The Boer plan, 1t is evident, was to
hold the force at Ladysmith by
demonstrations by the Free State
|burghers on the western side, so as to
prevent reinforcements being Sent to
Glencoe. The latter place was to be
Isolated by destroying the railway be-
tween it and Ladysmith. Finally a
large force was TO make a combined
attack on Glencoe.
The first two items of the pro-
gramme were successfully carried out,
but the combined operation against
Glencoe failed, owing, probably, to
the fact that the Boer military organi-
cation is too rough and amateurish 70
bring large forces into simultaneous
action. 1t is believer that only 1000
Beers were in the actual action. A re-
port says that 5000 more were adj
Yaneing from Hatynspruit, and a bat

was sent to hold them in check, but,
as already cabled, this force is now in
retreat. The inference is that only
the column from the direction of Fret
held came into action, and that the
force from Ingagne failed to arrive in
time, and definitely failed after the
position taken up by the thanking col
umn had been carried by the British
troops.
1t is almost impossible to overestf-
mate the Importance of this initial VIC
tory. the result of an engagement on a
fairly fought field, where discipline
and efficiency have told. After more
than eighteen years the Beers and the
British have again met, not Tar from
| Laing's Mex and Majuba Hill, with
an entirely different result, and IL the
| defeat does not lead TO wholesale de-
sertions from the Boer forces in dis.
gust at the happiness OF their leaders,
IL has had important results Besides
restoring British prestige, 1t a
proved that the Boer artillery, whether
| directed by Germans or not, Is prac-
tically valueless.
On the other hand, 1t has proved to
| the Beers that the British artillery is
quite effective. l tis possible that the
plugged shells were defective.
The report that the British captured
twelve guns appears to be correct,
generally.
1t is hoped from the latest reports
than Gen. Symons' wound is not NOR
| tai. I'll Is expected that his command
will now be entrusted to Sir Archibald
Hunt. While expressing sympathy
with the gallant officer and regret that
his services are lost to the forces, the
| editorials In this mornings's papers
are ringing with songs of victory and
| ridicule Of the Boer threats to drive
| the British into the sea. The general
| belief is that the Beers will now con-
| fine themselves to guerilla tactics.

stake. Bob Smith was partly burned,
but the fire vas ex~tinguished
before he was dead, because of infor-
nation which may clear him was re-
ceived.
The Gambrili tragedy occurred early
Thursday morning, and 1t was first
thought that the fire was the result OF
accident. A casual investigation re-
vealed circumstances so suspicious
that a more searching investigation
was made. and 1t was oon established
beyond doubt that the family had
been murdered and the house fired
with the torch of an incendiary.
Passes were Immediately formed to
scour the country and followed every
possible clue. Before the posses left
st. Anne 1t was discovered that Joe
Lefiore, a negro who lived in the neigh
borhood and who had heretofore borne
a good reputation. had disappeared.
Early last evening Lefiore was cap
tured several miles from the scene OF
the murder. AT first the negro vigor-
ously denied any knowledge of the
crime, but he finally broke down COM
pletely and confessed that he and Bob
Smith and Andrew Smith, two other
negroes, had done the dastardly deed.
lie told with brutal f~rankness all the
details of the crime. His captors were
stupeied at the revelation. In the
yard where the Gambrill residence
had stood, Lefiore was tied to a stake
and burned alive. No one sent a mer-
ciful bullet into his body to kill him.
Andrew Smith escaped from the mob
while Lefore was being burned and
has not yet been captured. Bob Smith
was tied to another stake and a fire
started. though he was finally released
as there was a possibility of his prov
ing his innocence.
The sheriff of Leake county went to
the scene OF the tragedy yesterday
afternoon and took the negro Robert
Smith and three negro women, who
were implicated by Lefiore, and
started &c Carthage, the county seat.
1t Is not thought the sheriff will reach
Carthage with his prisoners, as there
are about 500 men gathered about the
scene Of the crime, and they seem de-
termined to let no guilty n escape
their vengeance.
