LONDON. May ia special dis
patch from Reit spruit, dated May 10,
describing fully yesterdays successful
operation, says General Hamilton's
scouts had, on two previous days, as
certained the Beers position and their
strength. On Wednesday night the
Cheshire regiment crossed the river,
ertrenched themselves and prepared to
hold the passage for the regiments fol-
lowing,
AT daybreak on Thursday, the main
body crossed at two or three points.
The mounted infantry was then in the
act of driving of the advance Beers
preparatory to a general forward move
ment. The Boer right first gave way,
but Tucker and Hamilton had a rough
er task on the left. The Beers had
six guns and served them well, work
ing with great determination, but the
British worked up closer and closer
their guns meanwhile firing inces-
sanity.
THE East Lancashire and Sussex
regiments, by IL o'clock, had worked
we'll to the front. The order was Civ
EN- and, like flash the two regiments
sprang forward simultaneously and,
in few moments had secured two
commanding ridges. The advanced line
was now within 1900 yards of the
Beers main trench and the latter were
already losing heart from the demon
stration on their flank, but they kept up
rapid, though wild fire.
AT this moment the final charge was
ordered. and away went the Lanca-
shires and the Sussex regiments again,
but the Foers could not stand and they
fairly bolted. and the rout of the Beers
along the whole line was then COM
plete."
