DETAILs or THE ENGAGEMENT.
Hill Stormed i'm Spite of Boer Marksman-
ship-Heavy Losses

London, Oct. 2l.-A Glencoe camp
correspondent telegraphinC yesterday
says: A force of 5000 Beers led by
Commandant General JouberI has been
defeated severely by u force under Gen
enral SymonS. and the enemy at this
moment are i'll full retreat. Nobody in
the camp save General Symons and
his staff We're aware that the Beers
intended to attack this morning. and
that he would get within three miles
of this position before making his
presence known TO all concerned. 1t
was known. however. that the enemy
were advancing still further south. and
il was seen that unusual precautions
had been taken to guard against sur
prise during the night.
Just after dawn the Boer artillery
opened fire from Glencoe Hill. The
range was ill-judGed. and the quality
of the ammunition bad. During two
hours and a half scarcely Il half dozen
shells burst within our lines. Our gun
nerS. ON the contrary. made excellent
practice. which soon began to tell upon
the enemy. At 1:3O General SymonS
ordered n general advance of the in
fantry brigade. which he himself ac-
companied. The Dublin FusiIeerS were
well in front. with the Kings ROYAL
Rifles out on tile right and the Leices-
teTShire regiment Oh the left. The men
advanced Smartly, taking advantage OF
every bit of cover-tacticS in which
they had been exercised for weeks
past.
The advance was covered by a ter
rifle fire from our three batteries. and
several Boer guns We're silenced before
the FuSileers began to climb the hill.
BY the time the FuSileers and Royal
Rifles got within 1000 yards of the
crest the Boer batteries had been COM
pletely Silenced. our own guns having
pounded them at 300 yards range
with crushing effect. The Beers mean
time were keeping up-a heavy rife fire.
which thinned our ranks considerably.
BY o'clock the FuSileerS and Royal
Rifles had Swarmed over the hill and
the Beers were OH the run.
Meantime the Eighteenth husSarS
all the Colonial mounted infantry and
the LeiceStershire regiment had been
moved EOrth and east. thus practically
cutting off the BOer main line of re-
treat. and the encmy-caught between
two fires-lost heavily. At this mo
ment fighting is still going on. but the !
defeat of the enemy is already com
Iilete and crushing. and il looks iS /
though few would escape. Our losses /
are probably 300 killed and wounded. |
and that Of the Beers thrice as many"

following telegram from Major Yule,

last evening. Il regret to report that
General Symons is mortalIy wounded.

G. II. CHAPPELL, GRANT PARK, ILL
For several years my health was
miserable. j suffered the most dread
full pains, and was almost on the verge
of insanity. / consulted one of the
best physicians in New York, and he
pronounced my disease a fibro;d tumor,
advising an operation without delay,
saying that it was my only chance for
life. Other doctors prescribed strong
and violent medicine, and one said L
was incurable, another told me my
only salvation was galvanic batteries,
which l tried, but nothing relieved me.
One day friend called and begged me
to try Lydia E Pinbhams Vegetable
Compound. began its use and took
several bottles. From the very first
bottle there was a wonderful change
for the better. The tumor has disap-
peared entirely and my old spirits have

Clearing HouEe. Shortly before 10 81,
however, it was announced that every
thing had gone through satisfactorily and
later on 1t became known that the Clear
ing House had session and that pool
of SO 0)O. 90 had been made up to be lent
on the exchanges today. Opening que
tatiops Tor money varied from 20 TO ~
Ter cent and a good many leans were
made at thsss figures during the early
part of the day. Later on II became
known that In addition to the formation
of the pool the banks had also decided
to lend their reserves This at once had
an excellent effect, the undertone OF the
market improved and prices showed a
markell upward tendency. This upward
tendency became still more pronounced
on the publication of the statement that
the National City Bank had received
s.. O00, coo from the governments. The
eff cot Of this was at onoe noticeable;
money rates declined sharply to per
cent. At this figure the broker, acting
for the City Bank, offered any part of
IS, TOO. zoo. Later on rates were even
lower, soEe loans bsing actually made
at PER cent. As matter OF fact, 1t
was not the decline In rates which en-
Outraged the street go much as that
money was there when wanted.
Yettarday's panic was caused entirely
by tbs fact that although brokers were
willing to pay almost any price for
money. the money was not In sight.
Naturally after such a day as We bad yes
terday there was a good deal of nquida-
tion. There were rumors current that
some small houses were helped on; this
morning on the understanding that the
bulk OF their holdings should be hqul-
dated, and the character Of the selling
during a large portion of the day en-
Outraged the belief that this was going
on One of the most pleasing features
of the days trailing WAS the excellent
character Of the buying. The street is
fully convinced that some OF the largest
interests In New York have take, large
lines of good securities. Naturally the
general sentiment in the street Is more
cheerful than 1t was last night, never
theless 1t should be borne In mind that
such declines as we had yesterday can
not but leave behind them q great many
crippled spectators who will be anx'
ious to get rid OF this bssr Of their hold
ings on all rallies.
