 London. Nov 1O.-Lord Roberts, telegraphing from Johannesburg under date of November s, reports 10 the war office as follows:
 "General Knox states that he takes no credit for the very successful en- gagement of November G, which Was due, in the first instance. to the de termination of I.e Calais never to lose touch with the enemy, and. sec OnGly, to the able way in which De Lisle handled the firing line after La Calais and Ross were wounded.
 ''Smith-Dorrien Eapolts that the two days fighting mentioned was very hard. His force consisted of 250 mounted troops from the fifth Ian cerS the Royal Canadian DragOon and mounted rifles, two Royal Cana dian artillery guns, four guns of the Eighty-foUrth battery and QUO infantry of the Suffolks and Shropshres
 The Bocrs were met soon after starting from Belfast and hung on the front Hanks and rear until the homati river was reached, where they stood at q very strong position. From this they were forced to retire by q wide turning movement by the SuffolLs and the Canadian mounted troops around their flank. All the first day BOcr signal fires were lighted in all direc- tions and before morning they were strongly reinforced.
 Our casualties the first dGY were six killed and twenty wounded. chiefly of the Shropshires. who fought splen- didly. The next day the Boers tried to seize the strong position on the bank of the kOmati. from which they were beaten out November C. but were prevented by Colonel Evans. with the Canadian mounted troops and two of the Eighty-fourth guns. galloping two miles and seizing it in the nick of time. defended by Colonel Less2rd. with the Canadian Dragons and two Royal Canadian guns under Lieutenant Nor riSon.
 Smith Dorrien says no praise can be too high for the devoted gallantry these troops showed in keeping off the enemy from the infantry conveys.
 Tn the afternoon an event unprece- dented in this war occurred when some 200 mounted BOers suddenly charged the rear guard to within SeV- enty yards. when they were stopped by the Canadian Dragons. During the fight sixteen of the Canadians fell into the hands of the enemy who treated them kindly and released them after removing their own dead and wound ed. during which operation the Cana |. dians were compelled to lie on theil faces in order that they might not see how heavily the Boers had suffered Our casualties were two killed anC twelve wounded.

DE WET LEADER,
The Recent Defeat of the BoepS
 a Great Set-Bach.
CAPTURE OF DE WET AND STEIN

That Is Lord Roberts's Next MoN e
 Lord Roberts Sends Report of the | Battle of November G-Canadian
 Dragoons Captured Were Released By the Boera
 New York, Nov 1O.-Says the London correspondent of tine Tribune:
 Colonel Le Gallais, who commanded the British forces in the brilliant action near hroonst2d, in the TransVaal, and was killed. was one Of General Nitch- ener's men, who greatly disting guished himself in the KhartoUm campaign and was one Of the best cavalry officers in the British army.
 De Wet is now the real leader of the Boer cause. and his prestige will be impaired by this serious defeat. \ dozen other Boer generals are still i'll the field. Botha. whose health is bet ter. is on the veldt near Waterval. and Niljoen is near him with DGlarey. Schalkburger js i'll the mountains near Lydenburg and Erasmus is in the south. Grobier and Lemmer are in various sections of the Trlusyaal.
 Lord Roberts has evidently made the capture of De Wet and Steyn his next work and is employing his mobile mounted forces to hunt them down at all hazards.
