London, Nov. 17.-Misfortune stead
tasty pursues British employment of
armored trains, the fascination for

and latest victories. On this last occa-
sion the British seem TO have walked
into a deliberate trap, with the result
that, according to the best accounts, 30
men are either killed, wounded or miss
ing. OF these the fusileers claim so and
the Durham infantry 40. 1t is believed
that few escaped and that the Others
are prisoners in the hands of the Beers.
Many of the wounded were brought
back on the locomotive and tender of
the armored train. Capt. Haldane, of
the Gordon Highlanders, was attached
to the fusileers, and other officers were
with them. The list of casualties is
awaited with great anxiety. In time of
trouble Lieut.. Winston Churchill has
proved himself more soldier than n
correspondent, and his gallantry is
highly praised on all sides.
London, Nov. 17.-Special dispatches
from Estcourt estimate the wounded
and missing of the armored train con-

include Capt. IIaldane. 1t is hoped
