Situation in South Africa lis Far
From Encouraging From Rrit-

LONDON, Oct. 2.-Lord Kitchener to-
day reports that two officers and thirty
zone men have been killed in an attack
made on Col. Kekewiehs S camp at Moed-
will. The Beers, who We're under Com
mandants Delarey and Kemp, had IA Off
scers and liz men wounded. After two
7-hours1 might fighting, the Beers were
driven off. Col. SKekewic1 was among the
wounded
The Boer reverse at Moedwill occurred
Sept. 20. The Beers are reported to have
been 1,000 strong. Lord Kitchener in his
dispatch. says the British repealed the at
tack with great vigor. Col Kekewich
was slightly wounded in two places. He
says that all ranks behaved extremely
we'll The wounded were taken to Rus
tenburg. half way between Pretoria and
Mafeking.
Lord Kitchener confirms the heavy
losses of the Beers, about $50 killed and
800 wounded, during their attack on the
Fort Italia and Fort PrespecI.
The chorus of dissatisfaction with the
inertia of the government is daily gather
ing force Winston Churchill, M. P,
speaking last night at Oldham, describ-
ed the situation in South Africa as "seri-
Gus and disquieting." He said the war
could not be ended by preciamations or
threats, but only by vigorous military
operations.
Preparations are being made to replace
Lord Kitchener's exhausted men by fresh
drafts. An order has been issued render
ing it Impossible to obtain discharge by
purchase from any of the army reserves,
sections of which are being prepared for
mobilization.
Lord Kitchener has sent home a fresh
batch of imperial yeomanry suffering
from organic diseases uniting them for
life on the veldt, together with strong
protest against the waste of public time
and money in enlisting such men.
There is further evidence of the serious
ness of the situation in Cape Colony. The
Cape premier. Sir John Gordon Sprigg,
has gone to johannesburg to meet Lord
Kitchener and Lord Miner in conference,
probably on the subject of declaring mar
tial law in Cape ports.
MoedwiH, the scene of the bold attack
by Commandant De Larey on Col. keke-
wich's camp, is seventy-fve miles west
of Pretoria and fifteen west of Rusten-
burg. AS the woundedswere being brought
back to Rustenburg,s it looked as though
Moedwill, which is close to the Magatos
Pass in the Magaliesburg range, had been
abandoned. 1><
A mixed column, under Gen. Kitchener,
Lord Kitchener's brother, has been sent
to relieve, presumably Natal from Com
mandant General Botaa's .forcessss-It has
reached Nryheid.
The casualty list shows that in the
fighting at Caledone river last Friday,
Col Plumer lost two officers killed and
ten men killed and wounded.
