London. February 23.-Mr. Spenser
Wilkinson, reviewing the military situ-
alton In the Morning Post. says:
"Lord Roberts, who was once an artil-
lery officer, will take care that the artil-
lery Grs is properly concentrated Pro-
longed shslling will compel the Beers
either to hurl themselves at the Brit

The best chanoe for Gen. Cropie would
be to make a night attack, but the bayo-

enclosed in terrible death trap. The

British infantry.

aged to hold mis- own. On Saturday
night the British mounted infantry came
into touch with Cronje's rear guard,
driving 1t back upon the main body. On
Sunday morning the action was renewed
but the Beers, who had entrenched the
river bed during the night, prev ented a
further advance of the mo united infantry
in this direction.
Meanwhile the highland brigade, con-
sisting of the Seaforths. he Black Watch
and the Argylls, advanced from the
Sonth bank and the Essex, Welsh and
Yorkshires formed a long line on the
left which rested on the river, the ex-
treme right using the Welsh. The whole
line was ordered to enyelop the Beers,
who lined both banks of the river. Tho
firing soon became heavy. Tho Beers,
holding a splendid position, covered the
left of the highland brigade, which adj
vanced partly up the river bed and part
ly in the open, while the rest of the
brigade with the othes regiments, swung
around the trout of the highland brigade
on the level, cover less ground, exposed
to terrible FIRE which obliged the men
to lie on the ground as they did for the
