GREAT CAUSE FOR ANXIETY.
British Forces in Natal Confronted
by Overwhelming Numbers
An OminOus Silence.

London, Oct. ga dispatch from
Ladysmith, Natal, dated AIS yester-
day, has just been received. 1t is n
literal repetition of Cape Towns Glen
coe advices of yesterday and regarded
as somewhat ominous that nothing has
since been received respecting the re-
suit, especially when viewed in the
light of Lord Wolseley's statement
that Gen. Yules' force felt it necessary
to retire from Dundee to Glencoe juno
ton. Gen. Yule, evidently, is in n
tight corner, as he now has or had 10,
face the main Boer army under Cen.
Joubert.
Gen. Sir George Stewart White, the
British commander-in-chief in Natal,
will, undoubtedly, detach part of thu
force which was victorious at Eiand-
slaagte to his assistance.
Such a detachment, however, win
leave Ladysmith poorly protected
against the threatened attack from he
west, as Gen. Hunter, on Saturday,
wired that the departure of the force
to Elandslaagte left him with only IA
couple of hattalions of regulars, u
mountain battery and 500 Natal volun-
teers to defend the town, which is the
British military base in North Natal
Further news, therefore, is anxiously
awaited.

BATTLE OF ELANDsLAAGTE.
Graphic Descriptions Supplied ny
War Correspondents of the
Terrible Encounter.

London, Oct. 24.-Interesting ana
graphic accounts are supplied by the
war correspondents of the battle or
Elandslaagte, from which the follow
ing are extracts:
The Daily Telegraph says:
Gen. French commenced the action
at G: 80 a. m. The enemy had only just
finished coffee when they were sur
prised, and nearly all our prisoners
were caught in the vicinity of the cap
tured train. The mining and railway
officials escaped from the enemy and
came in to. us, to the number of 3!
whites, besides many natives and cool
les.
Both of the latter classes had been
robbed and compelled to work by the
Beers; but the whites were treated
fairly WELL though they were made to
take an oath to remain neutral, etc.
A Boer sergeant, a native of Cape COL
ony, hid his rife and came in with 90
of his late captives.
1.-THE Manchester regiment, with the
characteristic hardihood of British IN
fantry, all marched straight back at
the enemy, too often careless of tax
ing cover despite the rafting, kissing
and splitting of the Mauser bullets.
Tommy Atkins says in effect: What;
hide from yokels; let 'em shoot.
Discipline has its drawbacks as well
as its advantages and our soldiers who
have learned the Boer tactics are now
capable of readjusting the mistakes of
the past.
1.-THE enemy bobbed about over the
rocks like jacks in the box, firing heav-
lily at us and with fair accuracy, for
the magazine Mauser rife is terrible
weapon, although it inficts clean
wounds. Many of them used explosive
bullets.

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE MATTER.
DIR. Leyis Docs Not Think the Con-
dition of the Beers So bad as
Depicted by English Reports.

Brussels, Oct. 24.-Dr. Leyds. the
diplomatic representative ofthe Trans
vaal in Europe, is quoted, in an inter-.
view, as saying it is difficult to give
an opinion on the battles fought at
Glencoe and Elandslaagte, as the dis
patches all emanate from British
sources. He is said to have added:
my own dispatches have not arr
rived, probably owing to the censor
ship. In the meanwhile, do not con-
slider the situation as bad for the Beers
as made out by the English kilograms,
which are intended for the English
public aEd market, and are probably
too optimistic. The fact that the
Beers retired in order to reform later.
does not imply defeat. That is part OF
their tactics and does not prove that
they have suffe -ed seriously.

A BRILLIANT FEAT OF ARMS.
The Capture of tslandslHaGte from
Beers Strongly Entrenched.

Beers strongly Entrenched.
Cape Town, Oct. 22.-Dispatches re-
ceived from the front regarding the
capture of Elandslaagte show it to have
been a brilliant feat of arms. The
Beers were strongly entrenched and
fought with their wonted bravery.
They seized every opportunity of com
ing into action, and ran to serve their
guns when they got a good chance.
The British wounded are now being
taken to LadysmitL
The following additional details
from official sources are at hand re-
garding the battle Saturday at Eland-
saagte:
THE Beers, although driven from
their guns returned again and again
whenever opportunity occurred. fhe
high ground near the lett of the enc
my's position was occupied at the com
mencelnent of the action, the British
creeping along the crest and max
ing wide circuit.
'.The infantry attack was directed
against the right of the enemy's posi-
ton, the British coming quickly into
contact with the Beers, who at that
point occupied a strong footing, which
they held resoluteIy until a flank
attack was made by eur troops,
who advanced with great dash and in
spite of heavy losses, carried the main
position with a rush, just as the light
was failing.
The ground traversed by our troops
was rough and stony, and the capture
of the position was fine feat of arms.
The cavalry Tapped well around and in
ficted severe loss on the enemy.
