A REVERSE FOR THE BRITISH
4 HILL STORMED AND CARRIED
 BY BOERS.
Loss of Five Officers Reported by Gen Kitchener-Gen. Clements Forced to Retire by Commandant Delarey taciks by Burghers at Lichtenburg, Bethlehem, anu, Vrede.

London, Dec. 14,-Lord Kitchener re- ports that after severe fighting at Noo- itgedacht General Clements force was compelled yesterday to retire Commando ant Delarey, with force of 2,500 men. Four British officers were killed. The
 other casualties were not reported. Lord
 Kitchener's official dispatch 70 the war
 office is as follows:
 Pretoria, Dec. 13.-Clements' force at Nooitgedacht, on the Magaliasburg, was attacked at dawn to-day by Delarey, re-
 inforced by Beyers' commando from
 Warmbath, making a force estimated at 2,500 Though the first attack was re-
 pulsed the Boers managed to get atop of the Magaliesburg, which was held by four companies of the Northumberland Fusileers and were thus able to com mand Clements camp. He retired on
 Hekpoort and took up position on hill in the center of the valley. Broad woods brigade was about seven miles west of Clements BroadWood has not yet been able to report the action.
 "The casualties have not been com pletely reported, but the fighting was very severe, and I deeply regret that Colonel Legge of the Twentieth Illus sars and Captains MacBean, Murdoch and Atkins were killed. Reinforeements have left here"
 Lord Kitchener also reports that the commander al Lichtenburg sends word that in an attack on the British column there the Boer commander, General Lemmer and two other Boers were kill ed. Attacks upon Bethlehem and Vrede were also repulsed, the Boers losing ten killed and fourteen wounded. Vryheid was attacked on December Il.
 Snipng continued when the message was dispatched.
 The scenes at the war office to-day re- call those witnessed in the early stages of the war. A constant stream of eX- cited people filled the Hobbies, all seek ing details of the disaster. The absence of the names of any of the officers of the Northumberland Fusiliers in Gen eral Kitchener's dispatch leads to the that the four companies of the Fusiliers mentioned are in the hands of the Boers.
 The officers of the war office evident ly expect heavy casualty list, but they are hopeful, from the fact that the dis patch does not mention the capture of the Northumberlands that such a great has been escaped.
