Gen. Kitchener's account of the battle
of Vlakfontein serves to light up public
interest once more in the Boer war. Two
facts stand out: First the determined
nature Of the Boer assault upon an in
trenched position, fifty miles from Jo-
hanncSburg; and, secondly, the heavy
losses suffered by both sides. This has
been the first real engagement which
has been fought for many months, and
it is decisive proof of the Beers. when
led by a cool leader like Delarey, can
still offer strenuous resistance to Brit
ish arms. The details OF this battle may
indicate that Gen. DiXons force was
surprised and that the casualty was run
up to ia in this way. But the Beers
in any event, were assaiIants. and were
not repulsed without severe losses The
Beers are also reported to have fought
with exceptional galIantry while in pur-
suit Of Gen. Plumer's convoy.
A British officer who Is on furlough
after lighting from Colenso to I.yderburg,
has been predicting that the closing skir-
mishes of the campaign would occur on
the line OF the Durham j johannesburg
railway, in the vicinity Of Heidelberg
and Standerton. Both of these affairs
were within the theater Of war defined
by this officer months ago as the last
Boer ditch
The natural explanation Of the fight
ing is that one nine after another is
opening. and the refugees are returning
to Johannesburg in small groups. and
the Roers have been making desperate
efforts to frighten them and to prevent
resumption of industry in the gold belt
Vlaldontein was probably des gned to be
loud warning to the refugees that the
war had not ended, and that johannes
burg was stin an unsafe place of resi-
dence.
