London, Nov. ga great battle at
Modder river has been fought and Gen.
eral Methuen has added another victory
to his achievements of the past week.
That the Beers defended their positions
with all their old time gallantry is amply
proved by Methuen's dispatch and it will
probably be further testified to when the
list Of British casualties is made known.
There appears to be no doubt that Me-
thuen gained a real advantage, though
details must be awaited before the full
effect Of his ten hours desperate fighting
can be gained.
Presumably the burgher army was on
the south bank Of the river, but whether
when the Beers retreated, crossed the
river northword or retired in an easterly
direction into the Orange Free State is
unknown. Possibly the Beers had re-
paired the bridge previously reported de-
stroyed and managed to withstand the
British attack with their rear guard
While their main body escaped over the
bridge, the rear guard destroying the
bridge behind it. The British, however,
appear to have surmounted the difficult
ties of crossing the river and seized a
position on the north side of the stream.
This success of the British clears an
other stage of the road to Kimberley, the
siege of which General Cronje must have
partially raised in order to give battle to
General Methuen. There is little reason
to doubt however, that the Beers will
again rally as heretofore after a SEEM
ingly crushing defeat, unless they have
lost their guns and there is no mention of
this difficulty in the dispatches. The
burghers are understood to have strong
laager at Spytfontein, IA miles north of
the Modder river, so another engagement
possibly awaits the British before they
can commence the last stage of the II
miles from Spytfontein to Kimberley,
though it is pointed out Cronje will there
by run a great risk of being caught be-
tween General Methuen and Colonel
Kekewich, British commander at KIM
berley.
A belated dispatch from Orange river
says General Methuen's troops are ad-
vancing under the greatest difficulties,
fighting an omnipresent, but almost in
visible foe.
A special dispatch from Windsor says
Methuen sent dispatch to the queen
after the battle of Modder river. The
dispatch says:
The battle was the bloodiest of the
century. The British shelled the enemy
out of the trenches and then charged.
The result was terrible
A revised list of the British casualties
at Belmont shows: Officers killed, 4;
wounded, %: non commissioned officers
and privates killed, 46; wounded, 225 of
which number the guards had 80 killed
and 80 wounded.
A revised list of the casualties sustained
by Hidyard's forces at the battle of
Beacon Hill shows: Killed, IS; wounded.

The Fight at Cras Pan,

New York. Nov. pa dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: Independent
accounts of the battle of Gras Pan, pub
lished this morning, put an end to all
anxiety with regard to the safety of the
Ninth lancers. The best description of
the engagement comes from the cores

that the Beers, strongly intrenched.
were holding range of kopjes COM
manding both sides of the railway. The
British force debouched on the plain to
opened fire. Lord Mechuen's guns were
very quick in replying and fierce artl-
lery duel ensued, lasting three hours.
The Beers showed great tenacity and
Lord Mechuen, finding he could not dis
perse them by shell fire, determined upon
an infantry attack. A vigorous assault
on the BOer lines was then carried out
by the Ninth brigade, the British dis

England'S Vigorous Protest

New York, Nov. ga special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Washing
ton says: Great Britain has protested
vigorously to this government against
the organization of expeditions in this
country, intended. presumably, for the
assistance of the Beers. Lord Pauncefote
made protest at the state department.
Secretary Hay referred Lord Pauncefote
to the secretary of war. 1t is no longer
a secret that expeditions of Importance
are being organized. The most notable
of these has it's headquarters in the
suburbs of this city and another will be
equipped with funds tomorrow in New
York City. Both of these organza tions,
it is said, have common backing and are
under the secret auspices of an agent of
the Transvaal now in New York. II is
understood that there are millions of
Dutch and French money behind these
filibustering expeditions.
The state department. the war Depart
ment and the treasury department have
informed the British amba ssador that
every Drecaution will be taken to pre-
vent the sailing of armed expeditions in
the interest Of the Transvaal. The state
department is, in fact, occupying the
same position it held when Minister
Dupuy de LONE protested against the
organization of filibustering expeditions
to Cuba.
Some days ago the British ambassador
addressed note to the state department
asking that the secret service detail men
to look into prospective filibustering eX-
peditions. This was done but no arrests
have been made and nothing has been
found on which to address a remon-
STRANGE to the persons involved. The
ambassador also asked that no supplies
be sold to persons supected of intending
to assist the Beers. All that the secret
service men ave been able to discover
is that able bodied men of military
training intend to sail for Havre and
other ports not English. A part of the
scheme of these men. it is said. is to pro-
ceed to the Transvaal as miners

been concluded to wait at Namacapacan
for the rest of reinforcements. The Am
erican military force was still al Mama
capacan Sunday. but a move north was
expected to take place Monday. Two
companies Of the Thirty-thi volunteers
are on their way north to reinforce the
troops at Namacapacan. Later dispatches
say that when the blue jackets and ma
rines landed at Visan they found that
the insurgents had fled. The navy will
hold the town until relieved by the troops
which are on their way north.
