Paardeberg, Feb. 2l.-(Delay-
ed. )-One of the hardest fought
battles of the war is now raging
here.
General Kelly Kenny attacked
Cronje's forces throughout Sun
day and Monday.
The British charges were re-
peatedly repulsed, only to be re-
newed with greater vigor
The Beers are resisting very
tiercely.
Tuesday Cronje asked for az
armistice.
Fifty guns are bo harding his
position.
The action began near Kip
Drift, which Kelly-Kenny seized.
Cavalry drove back the enc
my's outposts and developed the
Boer position, which was found
to be partly entrenched.
With Knox's brigade in the
center and the Highland brigade
on the left the British advanced
across a level ground in the face
of a deadly fire.
An envoy from Cronje admits
their loss to be 500.
The British troops captured
one kopje and fifty men.
Cronje's position was still un-
changed last night.
London, Feb. 22.-The long de-
layed report of Lord Roberts of
the killing and wounding of for
ty-nine officers, including two
generals, during the lighting
since Sunday, is creating much
anxious comment here for it is
realized that such heavy casual
ties among the officers must her
aid heavy losses in the ranks.
/ ColenSo is remembered, whel e
about the same number fell and
the proportion from the ranks
swellad the total to 800.
Mach speculation IS indulged,
too, as to Roberts reticence in
regard to the result of the en-
gagement when sending his list
of casualties.
Wha: took place Monday, Tues
day and yesterday is still a mys-
terry as far as actual information
is concerned. This reticence of
Roberts is making the experts
guess as tits very different from
his minute dispatches regarding
earlier operations. The general
impression is that Cronje is eff.
fecting a strategic move to gain
time in order that reinforce.
ments may come up. In fact, il
is believed that he has already
been reinforced by the late be
leaguers of Kimberley.
In this critical period, and in
view of the British silence, the
reports from Boer sources are
receiving credit, and these are
not encouraging to British hopes.
From this source it is learned
that Cronje has been joined by
Commandant De Wet with strong
forces and that they ere able tC
hold Roberts present force in
check.
