BRITISH IN FIGHT.
Evident That the Dutch Farm
ers Are Not Yet Whipped.

London, Nov. 10.-Lord Roberts, tele-
graphing from johannesburg under date
Of November 8, reports to the war Office
as follows: Gen Knox states that he
takes no credit for the very successful
engagement of Nov. 6. which was due
in the first instance to the determina-
ton Of LIE Calais never to lose touch
with the enemy, and secondly, to the
able way in which De Lisle handled the
firing line after LIE Calais and Ross
We're wounded.
'Smith-Dorrien reports that the two
days fighting mentioned was very hard.
His force consisted of $50 mounted
troops from the Fifth Lancers, his Royal
Canadian Dragons and Mounted Rifles,
Two Royal Canadian artillery guns -FOUR
guns of the Eighty fourth battery and
900 infantry of the Suffolxs and Shrop-
shires.
THE Beers were met soon after start
ing from Belfast and hung on the front.
f1anks and rear until the KOmati river
was reached. where they stood at a very
strong position From this they were
forced to retire by a wide turning move
ment by the Suffoks and the Canadian
mounted troops around their flank. All
the first day Boer signal fires were
lighted in all directions and before
morning they were strongly reinforced.
''Our casualties the first day were six
killed and 200 wounded, chiefly of the
Shropshires, who fought splendidly. The
next day the Beers tried to seize the
strong position on the bank of Komati
from which they were beaten out Nov.
6, but were prevented by Col. Evans,
with the Canadian mounted troops and
two of the Eighty-fourth guns, gallOp-
ing two miles and seizing it in the nick
of time. The rear on the return march
was defended by Col. Lessard with the
Canadian Dragons and two Royal
Canadian guns under Lieut.. Morrison.
