More Details of Last Weeks Battle. Enemy's Fire Terrific Throughout
 the Day-scots Guards and High
 flanders Suffered Terribly.
 London, Dec 6.-The Daily Telegraph publishes this dispatch, dated Nov. 30, from its special correspondent at Modder River:
 Lord Methuens troops are at rest here for few days after their tremendous ex- ertions recently
 During the fight on Tuesday the enc my's fire was simply terrific throughout the day. Two of our batteries, the Eight eenth and the Seventy-ffth, bore the brunt of the battle and discharged no fewer than 2,000 rounds, the Seventy fifth sLeiling the town all day at a range of 1,200 yards, and at last having to re- tire for want of ammunition. Just before they withdrew tremendous fire was con- centrated on them by the Boers. Major Lindsay and Captain Ferrall were wounded, and two men were killed and Il wounded.
 Twenty-Five horses were lost, and the officers chargers had to be used to bring the battery back. Major Lindsay and Captain Ferrall had to walk out of ac- tion. One gallant driver, though shot through the lung, drove his gun out.
 The Maxim detachment of the Scots guards, under Lieutenant Elweys, was completely wiped out when they advanc- ed to attack the enemy's trenches. So well hidden were the Boers that our men, though under their fire, could not see them.
 Lieutenant Thorpe crossed the river on the left flank with company of the md Snth ,nhl o,nl held his position until the brigade could cross. The highlanders' loss was very severe. They had to move across to SUD- port our left, and as soon as they showed themselves they were moved down. Re gardless of the fusillade, however, they went across in quiet and leisurely man. ner.
 Captain George Nugent cantered about with orders on a white pony, draw ing a tremendous fire from the enemy, but he miraculously escaped unhurt.
 Lord Methuen's original intention was to take the town with the bayonet after dark, but his troops were too exhausted after their tremendously hard day. They had started without any breakfast and obtained no food or water until 9 o'clock at night.
 "The enemy got his guns away, but left many rifles and quantities of ammu- milton behind.
 "We communicated with Kimberley by means of searchlight last night.
 ",The bridge over the Modder was de- stroyed by the Boers, but our engineers are now putting mp their own. The rail way also was damaged, but the engineers repaired it in wonderfully quick time.
 Lord Methuen is doing well.
 ',rhe Boers occupy strong ridge six miles to the north. Lancers were in con- tact with them today"
