THEY MEET NJ SUCCESS
Exciting Race for Kopje Between Scot.
tish Horderers and Boer Horse.
nlen-Later Reports show
Cronje % Intrcnchede

(By Associated Press yesterday
there was . most interesting series of
fights along the British front. A thou
sand Beers, commanded by General De-
wet. who is known TO be operating in
E the immediate front, at early dawn
yesterday determined to break thru
the British lines and aid Cronje. A
body OF five hundred Beers moved to-
ward the British left and cantered in
the direction OF q kopje, with the OBJ
ject OF occupying it. Unfortunately
for the Beers the kopje was held by
company Of Scottish gorderers, who
opened heavy FIRE. The Beers gall
loped off, but moved again towards
another British position, with exactly
the same result. They made a third
attempt to occupy position but were
again repnlsed and galloped away in
panic. Later, perceiving another
kopje, the Beers moved quickly to-
ward II. This kopje was unoccupied,
but the Rorderers, not to be beaten,
raced the beers for the position and
won, occupying the position and driv-
ing of the Beers. A portion OF the
latter ultimately occupied kopje
fanked partially by the Borderers and
facing another kopje held by the York
shires. A vigorous fusilade ensued, the
British firing accurately and succeed
ing IN silencing the Boer fire. A com
pany of Yorkshires was sent to clear
out the Beers, but the attempt failed,
the Beers opening heavy fire, and the
British having no cover. The British
then again opened a heavy rifle fire,
which again silenced the Beers. The
Beers made several attempts to run
but the Maxims opened up on them
and effectuallv checked them. Eighty
Beers surrendered, but many escaped,
going singly. Most of the prisoners
had just arrived from Ladysmith.
They complained of the bad general
ship OF their leader. Nearly every
men carried explosive bullets and five
British were wounded with these mis-
siles. There is no longer any doubt
that the Beers are gradually discarding
all rules of civilized warfare. The 9th
ser day they poured the contents of a
Vickers-M Maxim gun into an ambulance
which happened, however, to be empty,
some three hundred yards away from
the nearest troops. The war balloon is
doing excellent service. Early this
morning it arose to a great height and
discovered in the bed of the river four
wagons which contained ammunition.
These were exploded by the British
shells an hour afterwards. The balloon
observer also discovered number of
horses concealed nearby and these
also received attention from British
shrapnel.
