A Brilliant Victory Near
the Town OF Belmont.
CARRIED THREE RIDGES
That Had Been Strongly Fortified
by the Beers The Victory Was
Not Won Without Heavy Loss
Now Nearing Kimberly.

London, Nov. q. 5 a. m.-Eefore anX-
iety as to the situation in Natal had
been relived there comes news of a great
battle at Belmont. This mas happened
sooner than was expected. Only the
official account is Vet to hand. but 50
far as can be gathered the fighting APP
pears to have been almost a repetition
OF the battle of Elandslaagte. A dispatch
of the previous day estimated that the
Beers in that vicinity numbered 1000
and tina they had five guns and, judging
from the absence of any statement to the
contrary in the official report, it is be-
lieved that the British We're slightly SUI
perior in numbers to the enemy.
The Beers had CHOSEN a position with
their customary skill and were strong
ly entrenched. The British were obliged
to carry three ridges in succession. APP
parently the guards bore the hrunt in
carrying the last ridge by a Dayonet
charge after its defenders had been
shaken With shrapnel.
Nothing is said As to whether the po-
sitions so gained We're held and the de-
struction OF ammunition seems to indi-
cate that the contrary Was the case.
While General Methuen can be congratu-
lated upon a brilliant victory. it is again
at the cost of a heavy loss Of officers and
men.
The situation in Natal remains OBJ
scure. Fighting is reported at both
Estcourt and Ladysmith. 1t was at
first reported that heavy firing has been
heard III the direction oil Willow Grange,
leading to the belief that General Hid
yard had made a sortie from Ladysmith
and inflicted a denoralizing defeat upon
the Beers. 1t would be premature to
give full credance to either report. What
rs quite certain is tina Ladysinith, Est
court and Mooi river stations are all iso-
lated and the Beers deem themselves
able. after detaching enough troops 10
hold three British forces aggregating IT,
900. to push on toward PieternaritZDurg
with some 600 men.
A disquieting- feature of the Whole
campaign is the fact that all the advance
ing generals report meeting the Beers in
force. In view of the brilliant success
of Genera Joubert in partially paralvZ-
ing the relieving columns, the question is
being asked would have happened
had he at the outset of the war, instead
of sitting dow before Ladysmith, pushed
on to Pieternaritzburg.
General Gatacre,s report that the Dutch
are rising increases public anxiety as it
tends to confirm unor that W long
been current. \. special dispatch from
Durham announces that more big naval
guns We're landed Wednesday n sent
to the front. Prince Christian Victor
left Mooi river camp before ii was in
vested, bearing dispatches to PETER
lnaritZburg.
Late last evening it was asserted at AL
dershot that the Sixth division, now in
process OF mobilization. will actually be
required for active service. Some of the
yeonaanry agents have been warned for
mobilization owing to the scarcity of
cavalry in Africa. 1t is ais reported
that another brigade of horse artillery
Will be modified.
