Orange River. Nov. 8O.-The British
arms have achieved . brilliant victory.
The enemy, strongly entrenched, held
q range of hills commanding both sides
of the railroad at Roof Laagto,' near
Graspan. The Lancashires, under
Lewis, reconnoitered in an armored.
train Friday. The Beers shelled the
train, killing Lewis and q private.

column made q detour and bivouacked
for the night at Swink's Pan, three
miles from the Boer position. At dawn
the advance began. the guards forming
the reserve. The column debOuched
ON the plain eastward of the Boer
kopjes.
The Boer guns opened fire. The bat
teries of the British artillery, posted on
each side. shelied the Beers, the prac-
tice being good on both sides. The
Boers stuck tenaciously to their posi-
tions, firing steadily and accurately.
The duel, which constantly became
hotter, lasted three hours. The Boer
shells wounded several men of the ma
val brigade.
Finding 1t impossible to displace
the Beers by artillery, General Me-
thuen resolved upon an infantry attack.
A brigade of infantry, including the
Yorkshires, the Northamptons, the
Northum berlands and the Lancha-
shires, with the naval brigade on the
right, gallantly stormed the Boer posi-
tions, in the face of a withering fire,
and carried hill after hill, the brigade
under Colonel Money capturing the
main position against terrific fire, but
suffering terribly.
