a16 has been OF great service 10 the Beers in all
their defensive operations. Three Heutenants OF
the Free state artillery service were also among
The prisoners.
The guns reported as taken were four Krupps
and two Maxius. Among the prisoners two
thirds were Beers and one-third Free staters.
The prisoners have already started for Modder
River, station whence they will be transported

There was no Official estimate Of the Boer
losses during the ten days siege. The British

was surrounded, has risen 70 $50 That was the
day when General KelIy-Kenny's forces, with
The Highland Brigade, surrounded and entrapped
the enemy. and the fighting was forced from
dawn until dusk
The inference drawn by military men from the

Lord Rooerts's victory. besides changing the
balance in the comparative lists Of prisoners
The opinion IN official circles last night that
Lord Roberts had rendered General Buffers
campaign more difficult by his victory
There was no official news from General Bull
Ter when the War Office closed at midnight and
the press dispatches were fragmentary and in
conclusive. II was clear that there had been a
weeks heavy fighting, with serious losses on
the British side. The Beers were apparently re-
inforced on Friday and made determined effort
10 drive back the British brigades. General
Buffers men only held their ground after des-
perate fighting. and they were exposed 10 a
heavy fire from the Boer guns. Military writer's
are beginning to criticise General Buffers tao
tics in putting forward his lines and not mass
ing his troops for an attack but these structures
are unjust when the reports Of his operations
are in the main ineligible
There were rumors last night OF heavy fight
ing on Monday without decisive results, but
there was information at midnight upon
which intelligent judgment OF what was go
ing on could be based. There were also reports
that General Joubert was removing his stores
and ammunition across the Kip River prepare
tory 10 a general retreat, but the heavy casu-
atty lists on the British side did not corroborate
them. The Beers are evidently fighting in
strong force and with the greatest desperation
before Ladysulith.
All England is ringing with praises OF
'Bobs's" strategy and the glorious deeds Of his
soldiers but Ladysmith has not yet been re-
heved the war brought TO an end. The
western frontier has been cleared and the Dutch
disaffection in Cape Colony has been arrested,
but there is a terrible struggle IL progress in
Natal, and a long and arduous march to Pre-
toria before Lord Roberts's army. / n. F.

Daily Malls correspondent says:
AS IL would have been madness to seek out
let from the amphitheatre Of hills by way Of
Groblers KIoof, on the left route had TO be
found on the right and at ?. m. on Friday,
amid the incessant cracking Of rife fire and the
roar Of cannon. the Irish brigade was dispatched
along the river TO take Railway HILL on the
other side Of Peters Station.
This hill is commanding enough TO insure our
final advance, providing could hold II Sc
cureIy, and could mount cannon on II. From
Onderbrook Spruit Railway Bridge the track
runs along the Iugeia, and II was peILCuSIy
open to the Boer marksmen disposed on the
kop5es back from the river, and after passing
Pieter's Station, many men would be bound
TO be hit
Beyond the station the line passes over an
other small bridge crossing deep donga- and
il was in the approach TO this bridge and on
ward 70 the base Of Railway Hill that the great
est danger from enforced exposure obtained.
Il was necessary TO cross by the bridge at the
mouth Of the donga, which besides being diff
icuIt OF access, ran into the Tugela. The path
between the railway and the river was almost
always in full view Of the enemy.
Every man Of the Irish Brigade had, there
fore 10 run the gautlet Of Boer marksmen, and
numbers dropped OF the bridge where the BOer
bullets fell dangerously thick until the bridge
was sandbagged and only one man allowed on
IL at time
Very soon fifty men were put out Of action in
the race from the bridge to the rendezvous, and
several members Of the volunteer ambulance
corps were wounded in following the troops.
Il was late in the afternoon when General
Harris brigade gathered for the ascent Of the
hill. Il was a fearful kOpje TO stOrul-a series
