BRITISH oFFIcER KILLED
The Fighting Near Villiersdorp Proves
to Be a Serious Affair,


London, Nov. 25.-Dispatches from
South Africa show that the recent
fighting near Viiiersdorp, southwest
of Standerton, as to which Lord
Kitchener reported nothing beyond
the fact that Commandant Buys had
been captured by the Bocrs after
an attack on a patrol of one hun
dred railroad pioneers, was really a
serious affair. Il seems that Grobe-
laar's commando succeeded in sur
rounding and capturing a British force
of 100 British Cape railway pioneers.
Subsequently Colonel Rimington came
up with reinforcements. and after
heavy fighting compelled the Beers to
retire and to release their prisoners.
The British losses included Major
Fisher killed and three officers wound
ed The casualties among the men
have not yet Jeen reported.
With reference to the story that
the British placed Boer women and
children in front during the fighting
at Graspan June 6, when General DE
Vets convoy was captured. a story
which has been spread broadcast as
an example of British barbarity. The
Daily Mail sent a dispatch of inquiry
to Lord Kitchener who replied as
follows "The statement is absolutely
untrue and devoid of all foundation.
One child was killed and one woman
and one child were wounded by the
