GALLANT CHARGE BY BOERs:
Roberts Gives Further Details of the Battle
Near Bothavillc.
(Ry the Associated Prass.)

London, Nov. 10.-Lord Roberts tele-
graphing from johannesburg, November
8th, reports to the War Office as follows:
General Knox states that he takes no
credit for the very successful engage
ment of November 9Th. which was due In
the first instance to the determination OF
LIZ Calais never to lose touch with the
enemy, and secondly to the able way in
which De Lisle handled the firing line
after LIE Gallas and Ross were wounded.
Smith Dorrien reports that the two
days fighting mentioned was very hard.
His force consisted of $50 mounted troops,
the Royal Canadian Ora goons and Mount
ed Rifles, Two Royal Canadian artillery
guns. four guns of the Eighty-fourth bat
terry and 900 infantry of the SufTolks and
ShTopshires.
The Beers we're met soon after start
ing from Belfast and hung on the fanl-
and rear until the Komati river was
reached, where they stood at a very
strong position. From this they were
forced to retire by a wide turning move
ment by the Suffolk and the Canadian
Mount troops around their tanks.
"All the first day signal fires were
lighted in all directions and before morn
ing they were strongly reinforced.
"Our casualties the first day were six
killed and 90 wounded. chiefly Of the
Shropshires who fought splendidly. The
next day the Beers tried to seize the
strong position On the bank OF the Ko-
matte from which they were beaten out
November 9Th, but were prevented by
Colonel Evans with the Canadian mount
ed troops and two Of the Eighty-fourth
guns, galloping two miles and Selling it
in the nick of time. The rear on the
return march was defended by Colonel
Lessard with the Canadian dra goons and
two Royal Canadian guns under Lieuten-
ant Morrison.
-Dorrien SAYS no praise can be
! too high for the g%allantry these troops
showed in keeping off the enemy from
the ir:.ntry conveys.
"In the Afternoon an event unprecedent-
mounted Beers suddenly charged the rear
guard to within seventy yards when they
we're 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 Canadians
were compelled to lie on their faces il
order that they might not see how heayi-
IL the Beers had suffered.
Our casualties were two killed AND
twelve wounded"
