BRITISH TROOPS DEFEAT
INVADERS IN AFRICA
Attack on Karonga, Nyassa
land. Is Repulsed After a
stubborn Fight.
Special Cable Despatch to THy srS.


LONDON, Sept 10.--The following
official statement was given out to-
night:
The Colonial Secretary received to-
day two messages from the Governor
OF Nyassaland, dated yesterday. The
first says that on Tuesday the main
British force advanced with the inten-
ton OF driving back the enemy across
the frontier. The enemy, apparently
about 1000 strong. evaded the British
force and at sunrise Wednesday at
tackled karonga, which was defended by
one officer and fifty African rifles and
police and eight civilians.
After three hours resistance one of
the columns OF the main British forces
arrived and drove off the enemy. The
full British force was engaging the
enemy when the Governors first mes
sage was despatched.
The second message stated that the
British field force had been heavily en-
gagged throughout the day. The enemy
fought with great determination and
had to be dislodged by repeated bayo-
net charges. They we're ultimately
driven across the Songwe. The British
force was too exhausted 20 pursue.
THE enemy lost seven officers killed
and two wounded and captured. Their
loss of the rank and file Is not as yet
exactly ascertained. but it is heavy.
Two field and two macKne guns were
captured from the enemy. The British
loss was four officers killed and seven
wounded. The loss in the rank and file
has not yet been definitely ascertained"
