De Wet Breaks Through Line BY
Stampeding Herd Of Cattle

London. Feb. 13.-The detailed ac-
movement to drive out the Beers from
the enclosure of blockhouse lines

turesque and the most exciting in
cident of the whole campaign AL
though apparently surrounded by an
impentrable ring Of fire and steel the

in close touch day and night with ev-
cry detail of the movements. The
Beers, though hard pressed, shrank
from attempting to cross the railroad,
which was patrolled throughout the
night by armored trains. equipped with
powerful searchlights. The train lights
were supplemented by stationary
searchlights and the spectacular eff
feet as witnessed from the trains was
most striking
The battle at Herlbron ragged from
9 o'clock Friday night until o'clock
Saturday morning. Throughout the
five hours fearful ring of fire from
rifles, cannon and pompoms swept
along the British lines holding in
check General De Vets Beers, who
made repeated attempts to break out
of the circle Of troops.
Aided by the electric searchlights,
the British narrowed the surrounding
country with sharpnell, shells and
miXim bullets. In the northern sec
tion the Beers made a desperate eff
fort to break through Collecting a
number of cattle, the Beers drove
them on the British lines. Bending
low in their saddles, they rode among
the cattle, making it impossible to
distinguish them in the darkness. The
British pickets opened terrible fire
and the Beers were everywhere met
! with relentless volley of bullets. A
long line of men ran up and down the
line. as the armored trains flashed
| their searchlights over miles of coun-
try The reports of the quick firing
guns along the intrenched lines and
the booming of field guns and POM
| poms sounded amid the sharp crack
| ling of musketry while Herlbron fort
contributed to the universal din with
the roar of it's naval guns.
This lasted some 90 minutes, when
gradually the rattle died down until
only the single cracks were heard
| Then all again was quiet.
| The Beers attempted to break the
| British circle and failed. A few of
them succeeded in crossing the lines,
among them was General De Wet.
