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
flanking 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-eighth battery
were thus left unprotected, but con-
tlnued i'm action until every man with
the exception Of Lieutenant Nesham
was hit. Lieutenant Nesham was called
on to surrender, and upon refusing to
do so was killed.

hours. During this period the remain
ing infantry-namely, 100 of the Ian
cashires with some forty mounted
men, mostly Cape police, who had oc-
cupied a kraal near the wagons, al
so continued to hold out against the
repeated attacks of the Beers.
Surrender of Lord Methuen.
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 i'm the kraal still held out,
and did not give in until two guns
and pompom were brought to bear
upon them at about 10 o'clock, max
ing their position untenable.

1T is confirmed that most of the
Beers wore ur khaki uniforms. Many
also wore our badges Even at close
quarters they could not be distin-
guished from our own men, The in
fantry fought well and the artillery
kept up the traditions of the regiment.
In addition to the forty members of

Burghers LIE Humane.
Lord Kitcheners dispatch, showing
that the fighting lasted much longer
than was supposed, confirms the be-
lief that the disaster to General Me-
thuen's forces was due to leaving too
large a gap between the front convoy
and the rear; and to placing an INSULT
cient screen" behind the rear guard
which brought about panic among

here that the Beers wore British unt
forms and badges, but satisfaction Is

troops behaved better than was sup
posed from the earlier reports. From
other dispatches 1t appears that Gen
eral Methuen was shot while riding
to bring up the mounted troops, and
that his horse was killed.
