Lord Kitchener has telegraphic dis,
! patches showing that the fighting
asted much longer than was sup

force was due to leaving too larae a
zap between the front convoy and the
ear, and to placing an insufficient

Much resentment is felt that the

From the dispatch it is inferred that
ieneral Methuen was shot while rid

ion. He ordered his return to Klerks-
