DE WET HARD PRESSED.
ovERTAKEN BY GENERAL KNOX THE BOER
CHIEF LOSES MEN AND GUNS

London, Oct 29-The War Office has re-
ceived the following from Lord Roberts, dated
Pretoria, October 28:
Knox successfully engaged De Wet October
27. During the Boer retreat Knox caught De
Wet in the Rensburg Drift. 1.-THE Beers lost con-
siderably and left two guns and gtfTree wagons
in Knox's hands. Another zarnnnunitiOn wagon
were nil
Referring to the Jacobsdal affair. Lord Rob
erts gays 1t was due to the treachery of the In
habitants. who admitted the Beers to their
houses at night. They opened fire at daybreak.
Fourteen men were killed and thirteen were
wounded, mostly Cape Highlanders. Troops
dispatched from the Modder River drove off
the Beers. The houses of the treacherous in
habitants were destroyed. Commandant Bos-
man was killed.
Lord Roberts calls attention to the "increas-
ing inclination of the better class of Beers to
cooperate with the British to secure peace
since they find that guerilla warfare is visited
with heavy punishment"
