.egretfully admitted on all sides that
the Beers power Of resistance was woe
fully underestimated. 1t is seen that
the endeayor to keep the civil popula-
ton in Kimberley was mistake.
Perhaps the brightest spot for English
readers today is the announcement that
President Mckinley has designated the
son of Secretary Hay to the United
States consulate at Pretoria.
South African news is now six days
in arrears. The censor will not permit
details of the Modder River battle to be
transmitted According to the Cape
Town papers the Beers numbered 5000
men and were entrenched on both sides
of the stream, although mostly on the
northern bank. The British, according
to those reports, drove the enemy across
the river, compelling them to retreat
and established themselves on both
banks. These details, however, are too
meagre to enable an accurate idea of
the engagement to be formed.
Modder River Losses.
The official list of the British killed
and wounded at the battle of Modder
River totals up 452, not including four
officers killed and 19. wounded pre-.
viously reported.
A dispatch has reached London an.
nouncing that Lord Methuen is again
in the field and it is said that Count
Gleichen, VINO was wounded in the
fighting at Modder River, was struck by
a bullet in the neck.
The numbers and mobility of the
Beers are source of constant surprise
and anxiety to the British authorities.
The entire British public from royalty
to the lower classes is plunged in
amazement and grief at the frightful
losses in battle. The queen now goes
about her daily functions with red eyes
and is reported to weep and bemoan the
deaths of her soldiers and the horrible
ravages of war. The Princess of Wales
in private expresses her horror of the
war and the terrible suffering and pain
brought upon the British. The war
office is constantly besieged by mem.
bers of the nobility seeking information
concerning relatives at the front.
Julian Ralph, describing i'll the Daily
Mail the battle at Modder River, says
81 can testify that the British never
once saw the enemy, yet they were not
able to raise hand or foot without being
riddled. Despite all this the day be
longed to the artillery. The infantry
never advanced two PAGES during thi,
day of hell. The shells of our 20 gun.
were accurately planted in the enemy
trenches, and broke the heart of the
Beers, for after dark they all retreated. ,
