THE HOTTEST ON RECORD
Boer Firing at Modder River Character
lied as Such-Rumo ors That Butler
VIII Be Superseded by/An-
other-War Talk

London, Dec. 5, 4:30 a. m.-The CEN
sorship continues to be of the strict
est character. Virtually no news is
allowed to pass except diaries of
events within the beleagured garri-
sons and positions.
According TO the latest accounts of
the battle of Modder river the Boer
fire was the hottest On record and will
revolutionize existing theories. 1t was
effective up to 1000 yards, but the cas-
ualties among the prone troops was
trlHing. 1t was found impossible to
bring the British ammunition reserves
to the firing line. Many Beers wear
ing red cross badges were actually en-
ployed in serving out ammunition.
In connection with the many accu-
sations against the Boer indifference
to the laws of war, a letter published
in Cape Town asserts that before the
Transvaal ultimatum was sent the
Boer leaders urged the policy of using
the white flag when driven into a. cor
ner in order to deceive the British COM
manders. and this policy was generally
approved.
1t is reported that the mobilization
of a 7th division will be ordered at
Aldershot, as a preparation for an
emergency. The Morning Post COM

rymen available at home, but that par
simony prevents their being sent to

authorities declare that the Free Stauers
can hold Generals French and Gatacre
while all the remaining Boers-those in
the east-will meet General Butler at
TUgela river and eventually wear out
General White at Ladysmith. 1t is said
now that only 500 Beers fought General
Lord Methuen at Gras Pan, that the
force he defeated at Belmont retraaced
to the Orange Free State and that he
troops he met at Modder river We're
wholly fresh commands from the
Transvaal. The mobility of the Beers
is source of constant surprise and
anxiety to the British authorities.
The entire British public, from royalty
to the lower classes, is plunged into
amazement and grief at the frightful
losses in battle. The queen now goes
about her daily functions with red eyes
and is reported to weep and hamOan the
death of her soldiers and the terrible
ravages of war. The princess of Wales
in private expresses her horror of VAR
and the terrible suffering and pain
brought upon the British. The war Of
fee is constantly besieged by members,
of the nobility seeking information of
relatives at the front. One duchess
refuses to read any kilograms sent her
for fear of receiving the worst news
of her sons, cousins, nepheWa on other
members of her family at the front.

London, Dec. 5.--Although repairing of

INHUMhN CONDUCT.
Englishmen Accused of Robbing Help
less Boer Prisoners,

New York, Dec. "a dispatch to the
World from London says: Ugly charges
are made against British soldiers at
Elandsaaste by correspondent of the
leading Amsterdam paper, the Algemein
Handelsblad. who visited the Boer pris-
oners aboard the guardship Penelope, in
Simons bay. 1t is charged that prisoners
and the wounded We're robbed of every
thing valuable, even wedding rings, and
off to get a ring. The correspondent
says:
Never have I though Englishmen to
be such brutes. I imagine that about 30
men We're behind a kopje when 300 lancers
attacked them. The Beers had to surren-
der to such overwhelming numbers and
threw down their weapons in token of
submission. But the captain of the lam

a tremendous massacre ensued Sousen-
thaler, the only prisoner among them was
spared because he had remained fat on

Remarkable confederation of this
charge is furnished by a letter written by
Private Dolan of the 5th lancers about
obviously the same incident at Glands
laagts. He describes how the lancers
charged kopje. adding. las soon as
they saw the lance they threw up their
rifles and ammunition and cried

Herald from London says: 1t is now
certain that the Beers are in great

la river.
was placed by good judges at $4,000 to
10000 men, If we accept the latter
figure and deduct 10000 for losses
which may have been made good by
disloyal Dutch recruits from Natal,
and another 10000 for the remaining
force at Ladysmith, the total of the
army confronting General Butler may
be estimated from $4,000 to 10000 men.
AS for it's artillery at Farquhar's
farm according to the accounts in
Natal papers, the Boer guns overpow-
cred the British, who had 36 field guns.
But now this artillery will be divided
and there is not likely to be more than
30 or 30 Boer guns, if SO many, on the
Tugela.
Against this General Butler has AZ
guns, besides naval weapons. He
should then have a distinct though by
no means large prepundcrance.
In the meantime some news has come
through from Ladysmith,. showing that
while on the one hand the Beers bonn
bardment was becoming severe, on the
other that one of the navy guns had
once more silenced the big Boer 40 or
100 FOUNDER.
General Gatacre has seized and
secured a large quantity of corn which
would doubtless have been command
cred had the Beers been allowed to
make a longer stay.
The two remaining squadrons of
household cavalry left London yester-
day for the front. This is the first oc-
cason since the Egyptian war that
the life guards have taken the field.
They should prove a very valuable re-
enforcement, as the British are still
weak in cavalry.
