REPORT OF BRITISH OFFICER.
Shows Heavy Fighting Saturday with
Severe Boer Loss.

Cape Town, Oct. 23.-The war
Office this afternoon published the
following dispatch from the gener-
al commanding in Natal, Sir Stew
art White, regarding the engage
ment yesterday at Elandslaagte:
/ was present in person from
$3.50 p. m., to $50 p. m. but did
not assume direction of the fight,
which was left in the hands of
General French. The real action
did not begin until $3.50 p. m. At
that hour the Beers held a posi-
tion of very exceptional strength
consisting of a rock hill about a
mile and half southeast of Eland-
slaagte station.
At $3.50 p. m, our guns took
position on a ridge 400 yards
from the Beers, whose guns at
once opened fire.
The Boer guns, although often
temporarily silenced, invariably
opened fire again on the slightest
opportunity, and were served with
courage. After severe fighting,
our infantry carried the position ct
6:30 p. m.
We captured the Boer camp,
with tents, wagons, horses and
also two guns. The Boer losses
were very considerable, including
prisoners, among them being Gen
eral Jack Kock and Piet Joubert,
nephew of Commanding General
Joubert.
Our goods train, with supplies
for Glencoe camp, and nine English
prisoners were recovered. Our loss
was heavy, being 150 killed and
wounded.
