COLONEL CARLETON.

GENERAL YULE. GENERAL oATACRE.
felsing, England rushed troops to
South Africa under able generals, and
three columns moved forward for the
relief of the III starred cities. General
Gatacre was stationed at Molteno, In
Cape Colony, to guard the British base
against surprise. and. learning that
there was force of Beers at Storm
burg, he led 1000 men against them.
The march lay over rocklands and
veldt, and the column had reached Its
destination. within q couple Of miles,
when II was suddenly fred upon front
and flank by foe hidden from view.
The Royal Irish rifles had the ad
vance of the line, and, when struck by
Boer fire, the battalion took to cover
behind kopje, where 1t was soon join
cd by the other troops. But 1t soon
transpired that the shelter was itself
under the fire of Boer cannon. A
break for cover half mile distant
from the kopje was necessary in order
to escape annihilatien, and the with
drawal was made under cover OF two
British batteries. Finally the lines
were deployed for open battle. A de-
Gchment Of British attempted to flank

the Beers, but turn which way they
would the hapless English faced Boer
Mausers or machine guns. The affair
ended in rout, with the Boer artillery
pounding the rear of column. Gatacre
lost G31 killed, wounded and missing.
He was defeated by two unknown
Boer leaders, probably heads of COM.
mandoes or regiments. A disaster
which followed close upon the heels Of
Stormberg was that of Magersfontein,
where Methuen's relief column was
checked and hurled back by the Beers
under General Cronje. Cronje has
held up, during this war, the reputa-
tion he made in capturing Jameson's
raiders.
After Methuen crossed the Modder in
the face of an apparently determined
opposition on the part of the Beers he
was expected to rush into Kimberley
some day without serious encounter.
He started forward on the 10th Of De-
cember, but on the highroad to KIM
berley the Beers were found intrench-
ed. The ridge where the Beers lay ter
minated in spur, and the highland
brigade, under General Wauchope,
marched during the night to position
close to the spur under orders to at
tack at daylight. When they took UP
the advance on the morning Of the
18th, all was still, but a strange light
was seen moving in the direction of
the Boer lines, and soon a single rife
shot was heard. Perhaps second aft
er the rife shot, evidently a signal,
there was storm Of Mauser hail let
loose upon the devoted highlapders at
200 yards. The fire was not alone from
the direct front, but in the flank along
the l!nn of march.
General Wauchope's friends claim
that lie protested against being sent to
slaughter without reconnaissance. 1t is

GE';ERAL WARREN. -
plain that his brigade was Led into
deathtrap. He was killed, and, al
tn ugh there IS talk of the rallying Of
commands and successive charges, yet
there was nothing to charge upon but
a sheet of hurtling lead. One highland
er confesses that his regiment ran back
500 yards. There were attempts to re-
cover the ground originally held by the
highlanders. All day the British ar
tillery shelled the ridge and, with sup
ports, some of the highlanders advanc-
ed; but, according to the London Times,
this brigade, after losing it's command
er and three colonels killed, drifted
back without orders, and there was no
further attempt to advance. Methuen
withdrew to Modder river, having lost
963 killed and wounded
1t was the middle of the forenoon
when the Gordon highlanders attempt
ed to repeat at Magersfontein their
Dargal Ridge exploit by attacking the
Boer kopjes from across an open plain.
Midway of the tlat they struck barb
ed wire fence, and there Colonel Down
man fell. A dozen yards from the
Boer trenches was another barbed wire
fence with strand chin high. No
wonder that the slaughter at few
hundred yards was frightful or that
the confusion In the ranks was fatal
Soldiers are only human.
Methuens disaster at Magersfontein
was followed by the terrible fiasco Of
General Buffers first attempt to march
to the relief of Ladysmith. The worst
feature of the disaster at the Colenso
crossing was the loss of artillery. But
for that Butler would have forged
ahead, and perhaps the staggering
losses of General Hart's Irish brigade
there. as well as that of the highland
ers at Magersfontein, would have been
eclipsed by the carnage In some de-
voted command. At Colenso the losses
Of the day fell chiefly upon General
Hart's Irish brigade and footed up
LILO killed and wounded.
When Butler telegraphed that War
rem. perhaps the ablest general in
South Africa, would attack the Boer
key at Spion kop at night, it seemed
as though the British had Mt last learn
ed how to take advantage of the foes
single wealness--that of natural leth-
argy--and the stroke might succeed.
All turned out well until the British
were fast under the muzzles of the
Doer guns and then the slaughter COM
mencetl. The Britons stood it all day
because that was safer than retreat,
but they didn't let the second night
pass without retreating. and so the de-
cislve disaster Of the Tugela-Lady-
smith campaign ended the series OF ST..
which marked the first three months of
the war almost to day. Warren's
loss was about 800. The assaulting
force numbered about 1000 to $500.
