Beers Win a Victory.

London, Dec. 16.-The Magaliesborg
affair is described as follows in a dis.
patch to the Standard from Rietfontein
"Fhe scene of the engagement was a
horseshoe shaped depression. The North.
humberlands occupied the center. Gen.
Clements camp was pitched 1000 yards
lower down at the eastern point of the
horseshoe, and Col. Leggie's camp was
about 800 yards distant.
General Delarey's 1000 men. against
whom General Clements had fought re-
peatedly, were unknown to General
Clements, suddenly REINFORCED by 1900
from Warmb baths under Commandant
Boyers.
At daybreak Col. Leggie's picket des-
cried what seemed q fresh force of
British troops 30 yards distant. The
strangers were challenged. They re-
piled with a volley, revealing 400 Beers
in khaki. The firing became heavy and
the noise aroused Col. Leggie's troops
who arrived just in time to save the out
posts from capture.
"a furious engagement ensued. Ar.
tillery wss brought up and compelled
the Beers to retire. Col. LIE ggie. follow
ing up the withdrawal was shot dead by
a bullet through the head. General
Clements and his staff soon arrived.
The staff suffered severely, but General
Clements appeared to have a charmed
life.
While mounted men were driving the
enemy back along the slope covered
thickly with Boer dead, a deafening rifle
fire suddenly broke on the plateau above.
The signal was photographed that the
Y orthumberlands were being attacked.
General Clements, convinced that they
would easily hold their own, disposed
the remainder of his two camps.
AT 4:3Oa. 10. a heliographing western
peak anncppced that the Beers were
about TO overwhelm the fusileers. Gen.
Clements vas unable to send ADEQUATE
help, but dispatched the yoemanary to
climb The PERCEPTIONS hillside and create
a aversion.
Before the yeomanry could come into
action the Beers mad overpowered the
Northum berlands and were in posses
sion of the entire horseshoe, firing down
upon the yeo many, entangled in the
bushes and boulders.
"The Northumberland Dis made a mag.
niticent defense as long as their ammu-
milton lasted. According to Boer ac-
counts MANY, even wher resistance
was hopeless, died fighting.
General Clements, now left with TOO
men, made almost superhu man efforts
against the bullets from the Beers pour.
