through the ranks Of the Seaforths.
Colonel Hughes Hallett ordered the lat.
ter regiment to lie down and not retire,
and after awhile the colonel again tried
to reach the trenches. 400 yards of,
but the officers and half the men fell
before the heavy fire which opened i'm
mediately after the men moved. Ten
minutes later the Seaforths tried an.
other rush, with the same result. Colo
mel Hughes-Halle then decided to
await orders.
After describing sending the Cor
dons and guards to support the High
land brigade Lord Methuen continues:
AT l in the afternoon the Seaforths
were exposed to heavy fire, the order
to retire was given, and the greater part
of the casualties then occurred. This
was an unfortunate retirement for Hal
lett. He received instructions to re-
main in his position until dusk, and
the enemy were then quitting the
trenches in tens and twentles.
"Wauchope told me on the evening OF
Dec. 10 that he quite understood his
mark. He died ut the he6G Of his hri-
gade. where his name will always re.
main honored and respected. His high
military reputation and attachments
disarm all criticism. Every soldier in
my division deplores his loss. He was
q fine soldier and true comrade.
1.-THE attack failed. The highlanders
were ready enough to rally, but the
paucity of officers and noncommission-
ed officers made 1t difficult. I attach
no blame to this splendid brigade"

General Hamilton has probably by this
time arrived at Thaba N 'Chu, and he is
usuing his utmost endeavors to cut off
the Boers, who are retreating from
Dewetsdorp. - 9
The Boer forces at Thaba N'Chu are
not unlikely to make stand to cover
the escape Of the conveys from the
southward. They have laagers eight
miles apart, stretching from Brandfort
to Thaba N'Chu, with a base at Small.
dell station.
It appears that General Brabant, in
the fight at Wepener with the Beers,
had a narrow escape. General Pole.
Carew's advance was much hampered
by the tardy arrival Of artillery, which
prevented him from capturing Leeuw
kop before darkness set in and enabled
the Beers to secure their retreat.
Although the large scheme Of opera
lions worked successfully, several cases
Of unaccountable delays in the advance
are remarked by the correspondents.
Taken on the whole, however, there has
been no bungling, and apparently Lord
Roberts, with commands in the hands
Of younger generals, now has an ex-
ceedingly efficient army.
