Further Details of the Fight at Karie
Siding station.

BLOEMFONTEIN, March 31.-The Boer
position yesterday was one Of great natural
strength Only the turning movement of
General French and Major lie Calais. the
latter commander of the mounted infantry,
on either flank insured the British success
The shape Of the kopjes was irregular.
The Boer right flank consisted of a long
hill with wooded sides, connected with the
main position by long. low ridge .thickly
wooded. The rest of the position toward
the left consisted of broken kopjes, all con-
neeted by high ridge. Major lie Calais
moved round the Boer left and engaged
them. first freely using his Vickers-Max-
inns and gradually forcing the Beers toward
the center. where they made a good stand.
Major lie Calais was unable to move
until late in the day, while General French
moved early. The latter made a wide
detour toward the rear of the Beers, but
was unable to complete the movement be-
fore the Beers perceived his intention and
abandoned the position. They retired in
good order between General French and
Major lie Calais, where the main body of
the Beers, with four guns, held an excel
lent position on the edge OF a deep donga,
whence they shelled General French.
The infantry attack was delivered at mid
day, when the Norfolks opened the fight by
seizing the lower slopes of an ugly kopje.
Steadily they worked their way to the crest
of the hill, where a hot engagement ensued.
The Lincolnshires occupied the hill on the
right. protecting the Eighteenth Battery,
which dragged its guns up the hill with
the greatest difficulty and opened a heavy
fire at close range.
Meanwhile the City Imperials, getting I'm
touch with the Beers, the remainder of
fuckers division advanced across a semi
circular basin through which railway
ran. IL was very open ground, and the
Beers from the detached kopje and ridge
delivered a heavy fire. In spite of this,
however. the British moved on steadily, as
If on parade. The advance was protected
by guns which vigorously shelled the Boer
position. About o'clock the British ad-
vanced simultaneously and occupied the
Beers position. from which an excellent
view could be had of Brandfort across the
open plain. The Boer loss is unknown.

sars, who died at Norvals pont, was bur-

LONDON, March 24.-An officer present

CASUALTIES WE'RE HEAVY.
Lord Roberfs's Second Report on the
karce Siding Engagement.

LONDON, March 31.-The War Office has
posted the following dispatch from Lord
Roberts. dated BIoemfontein. March so,
evening:
Reports point TO the enemy's leaving
Brandfort and proceeding in a northerly
direction. The casualties in yesterdays en-
gagement were more numerous than at
first reported: officers killed, 2; wounded,
s; rank and file. killed. 10; wounded, 159;
missing, 81
Lord Roberts also reports the death, at
Norvars pont, March 2S, of Col. the Hon.
George Hugh Cough, c. b. Colonel Cough
had been private secretary TO the COM
mander-in-chief Of the British forces, Lord
wolseley. since 1897. He was born in Coun-
~ Tipperary, Ireland, July 25, 1852. and was
the second son OF the late Viscount Cough.
He Joined the Fourteenth Hussars in 1871.
passed through the staff collegein 1873. COM
manded mounted infantry in the Sudan
campaign of 1ssi-S5, and commanded the
Fourteenth Hussars from 1891 TO 1896.
The engagement yesterday at Karce Sid
ing Station, few miles south OF Brand
fort, appears to have been one-sided af-
fair, although the Beers stoutly held their
ground against a force three or four times
their size for three hours, when. foreseeing
the danger of the British cavalry envelop-
ing their fianks. the burghers withdrew in
good order on their main body at Brand
fort, which. according TO Lord Roberts.
they seem later to have decided to relin-
quish with the view, doubtless. OF occupy
ing a prepared position further north
There will probably be general shifting
OF camps on the part CT the British, the
new position being made the basis of a
further advance as soon as the railroad is
prepared.
Lord Roberts to-day reported TO the War
ONCE that he had received news from Ccl.
Baden-Powel at Mafeking up 10 March
10. when the general health OF the garrison
and It's spirits were good. the locally E.ade
gun, search light and ammunition were
working well. the food was holding out
