on June Z, at Roodevaale where the
Beers cut Lord Roberts line OF commu-
nieation and where the fourth batta-
lion of the Derbyshire regiment were
all killed, wounded or made prisoners,
except six enlisted men. Two. officers
and fifteen men were killed, and five
officers and seventy-two men were
wounded. many severely. The Beers
returned the wounded to the British.
The officers killed were: Lieutenant
Colonel Baird Douglass and Lieutenant
Hawley. The wounded include colonel
Wilkinson and Lieutenant Blanchard
of the Canadian infantry. 1t ls Infer
red that the Beers captured 500 men
and as late as June 10 held positions
cutting or the British forces north OF
Kroonstadt from reinforcements.
A dispatch from General Forestler-
Walker says that General Methuen
was fighting within ten miles OF He'll

The news that the shutting on of
Lord Roberts communication with the
outer world was accompanied by such
serious loss came like a thunderbolt
from a comparatively clear sky. The
Beers appear to be in sufficient
strength to completely separate all the
British forces on a north and south
