received the following from General
Forester Walker: Cape Gown, Dec,

change in the situation. General
French made a reconnaissance from
Naauwpoortto Rossmead. Troops
returned today.
General Methuen has flesh wound.
He is remaining at the Modder River
for the reconstruction Of the bridge,
Am reinforcing him with the High
landers and cavalry corps. The
horse artillery of the Canadian regi-
ment, Australian contngents and
three battalions of infantry moved up
to the Deaar and Belmont line"
London, Dec. 2.-As surmised the
British dead and wounded at the hard
fought battle of Modder River number
hundreds. Up to O'Clock this after:
noon only bare total OF 43S, of which
73 were killed, had been given out.
From General Forester. Walkers dis.
patch it is proved mat reports of
Methuens advance, after the battle
of Modder River were premature,
though with the railroad working he
should not be long in constructing a
temporary bridge. His enforced de-
lay doubtless will do considerable ser
vice by giving his hard pushed column
n reedful res. and allowing the arri-
val of reinforcements of which he
must be sorely in need after three
such fights had placed hors de com
bat upwards of thoustand men out
of less than seven thousand.
London, Dec. 2-The latest news
