THREE HOURS OF HARD FIGHTING
In Which the Beers Were Repeatedly

Taken with Panic.

London, March 1.-THE war office
has received the following communi-
cation from Lord Kitchener at Pre-
toria: Lord Methuen has sent me IA
staff officer with Il dictated dispatch
from which it appears that certain par
ticulars previously given Regarding
the recent disaster to the British are
inaccurate. The rear screen of mount
ed troops was rushed and overwhelmed
at dawn. There was Il gap of Il mile
between the OK and the mule conveys.
The mounted supports to the rear OF
the screen. with General AIethuen. i'm
mediately reinforced by all the avail
able mounted troops and Il section OF
the Thirty-eighth battery. maintained
themselves for hour. during which
the conveys Were closing UP withouI
disorder.
Fault ofthe Mounted Men.
I'm the meanwhile 200 infantry were
being disposed by Lord Methuen to re-
Sist the Boer attack, which was out
thanking the left OF the rear guard
The Beers pressed that attack hard.
and the mounted troops of the rear
guard. attempting to fall back on the
Infantry, got completely out of hand
Carrying away with them in the rout
the bulk of the other mounted troops.
Two guns of the Thirty-eiphth battery
were thus left unprotected. but CON
tinued I'm action until every man with
the exception of Lieutenant NeshaIn
was hit Lieutenant Nesham was call,sl
on To surrender. and upon refusing to
do so was killed.
Those Left Behind Fought Well.
Lord Methuen, with 200 of the
northumberland Fusiliers and two
guns of the Fourth battery then found
himself isolated. but held on for three
hourjs. During this period the remain
ing nfantry-namely, 100 of the Ian
cashires with some forty mounted
men, mostly Cape police who had oc-
cupied the kraal near the wagons. al
so continued to hold out against the
repeated attacks of the Beers.
Surrender of Lord NIethuen.
by this time Lord Methuen was
wounded, and the casualties were ex-
ceedingly heavy amongst his men.
Their ammunition was mostly eXpend-
ed. and the surrender was made at
about half past nine in the morning.
The party. in the kraaI still held ont.
and did not give In until two guns

1T is confirmed that most of the
Beers wore our khaki uniforms. Many
also wore our badges. Even at close
quarters they could not he distin-

fantry fought well and the artillery
kept UP the traditions of the regiment.
