THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1899, BOERS SUFFER SEVERAL RATHER GRUSHING DiEEFE ATS General White Retrieving His Reputation at Ladysmith by Brilliant Sorties, Inflicting Heavy Losses to the Enemy—British Also Defeat Attacking Boers at Mafeking and Set Off Deadly Mines. LONDON, Nov. 7.—It is announced in a cable dispatch from Cape Town dated Sunday, November 5, that the British have been victorious in an engagement at Ladysmith and that the Boer loss was very heavy, ncluding 2000 prisoners. ESTECOURT, Natal, Nov. 5.—Natives confirm the reports that the Boers received a crushing defeat between Colenso and Ladysmith. The Boer force, however, is still encamped at Pieters Station. The Boers’ losses on Thursday and Friday are stated to be about 1000 in killed and wounded, besides many prisoners. It is reported that a party of Boers are going down through the Weenen country in the direction of Pietermaritz- burg, and are attempting to induce Natal Boers to join them. LONDON, Nov. 7,—News has just arrived from Mafeking showing that up to October 25 the Boers continued the bombardment, firing as| many as 300 shells in thirty-six hours, though causing but little damage and wounding only four men. That day they closed in all around the town and made a determined attempt to rush it. The garrison turned out to a man and delivered a terrifc rifle and maxim fire which speedily stampeded the Boers, who were driven over mines which exploded and scattered them in all directions. It is believed at Mafeking that the enemy suffered heavily and is not likely to make another attempt to storm the town. 7.—To- 1 the fron ave rent the ADVERTISEMENTS.

He says: “I am only too anxious to help you in this matter, in order to show you how thoroughly our army and, eed, the nation, appreciate the evi- dence of the Interest American ladies take in our sick and wounded The Maine will sail for the Caps on November with Randolph Churchill on board. Lady A BOERS ROUTED WITH VERY HEAVY LOSSES LONDON, Nov. 8.—Evidently more de- tailed reports of General White's doings at Ladysmith must be recelved before the public will be able to form a clear idea of what has happened. Reports from v: rious sources show that another impo tant reconnoissance or engagement oc- mith, and a Cape Town ports that 2000 Boers were captured there. The suggestion of Sir Redvers Buller in his dispatch to the War Office on Sun- day that the name of General French had been given by mistake for that of Col- onel Brocklehurst in advices to him by pigeon post from Durban is now explained by a dispatch from Pietermaritzburg which s that General French has left Dur- ban for Cape Colony. Evidently General Buller was aware of this. The Daily Telegraph publishes the fol- lowing dispatch from Pletermaritzburg, dated Saturday evening: Since their occupation of Colenso the Boers have attempted no advance further newspaper re- { south. Bstcourt s now becoming a strong and growing camp. Major Wolfe Murray is In temporary command. The enemy bombarded Colenso sunset at the extreme range of nine cen- timeter Krupp guns. “Confirmation has been obtalned of the report that General Schalkberger is the Boer commander at Vryburg. A general Boer advance s not thought probable. Means have been taken to secure Pleter- maritzburg against any possible attack, and also to relieve Ladysmith before the enemy can come farther. “Whispered rumors of both Dutch and native origin have been current since yes. terday that during a reconnofssance from Ladysmith northward, toward Matta- wans Hook and Nicholson Nek, the Brit- ieh troops engaged the enemy. It is sald that a lyddite battery drove the Boers into a valley, whers the British cavalry charged them. The Boer losses in this engagement are said to have reached 1000, the Britieh losses being only about 100. “It s a fact that General Joubert drew in his line to-day and that the Boers now only have outposts at Colenso. Runners are bringing the names of the Boers who were killed and wounded outside Lady- smith, and thelr reports have caused much mourning among the relatives.” According to special dispatches from Estcourt, the Boers on Thursday asked a day’s armistice. General White agreed to this on condition that they would make no movement. The British military balloon, however, detected Boers massing to the south, and General White there- upon renewed the attack. Boer reports have reached Cape Town to the effect that on the arrival at Johannesburg of the news of the Boer re- verse at Elands Laagte, the whole Rand special police force was sent to the front with guns from Johannesburg forts, the fortress being logt with only one gun and Stewart White | on Thursday until| a garrison of twenty men, The men of the Eighteenth Hussars who were captured at Dundee, first took refuge in a Kafir kraal, where they fought stubbornly, only surrendering after four Krupp shells had exploded in the kraal. A large Boer force has been sent to re- inforce General Schalkberger on the Tull border. The Boers have repaired the rallway be- tween Volsrust and Newcastle, |BRITISH TROOPS CLAIM TO HAVE SLAUGHTERED BOERS | ESTCOURT, Natal, Sunday, Nov. 5,1:30 | p. m.—A rellable native has brought con- firmatory evidence of Friday's fight south of Ladysmith. A reconnaisance in force | was made by a British division, the ob- | Ject being to relieve the Colenso column, which had been attacked by the Boer The British infantry charged the Boers, who were strongly posted on Globsrskloof Hill, and drove them down on the plain | toward the Tagula River, when the British cavalry, executing a fine flanking mo ment, charged the Boers, almost an- | nthilating them. The plain was strewn with dead Boers. An armored train has again left for Colenso with a company of the Dublin Fusileers and a raliroad en- gineering staff to repair the line. No figh ing 18 supposed to have occurred Satur- day, as no firing was heard. ESTCOURT, Natal, Sunday evening, Nov. 5.—It 1s now possible to furnish offi- cial detalls of Friday's fighting around Ladysmith. The Boer artillery fire was accurate and well sustained but ineffec- tive. The British cavalry was constantly out, the investment not being close enough to prevent this. Cavalry and ar- tillery under Colonel Brocklehurst about noon drove the enemy away from all thelr positions with great slaughter. This attack was directed against a reported move of the enemy toward Maritsburg. The artillery shelled three of the enemy's guns Into silence. The British casualties were slight. The Boers are now shelling the town. Their artillery is well handled, but is | doing little damage. The Boers profited | by a flag of truce on Thursday to send in a Transvaal artillery officer, disguised | as an ambulance driver, with the wound- | ed. to observe the action of the Boer | artillery fire. TREACHERY FOLLOWED BY A BAYONET CHARGE DURBAN, Nov. § (Sunday), §:50 p. m.— A native eyewitness of Thursday’s bat- tie near Ladysmith says the Boers were | caught on the open ground and ralsed several white flags. The British then advanced without fir- | ing to accept the surrender of the Boers, but were recelved with a volley at closa range. Enraged at this treachery, the Lancers, Hussars and Dragoons, fol- lowed by the infantry with fixed bayo- | nets, charged through and through the enemy and did great execution. A lot of prisoners and loot were captured. Another battle on Friday with the Boers was proceeding, according to the natives in the south, with similar re- sults. POWERS HAVE TAKEN NO STEP TO INTERFERE BERLIN, Nov. 7.—The recruits of the | Tmperial Corps du Garde took the oath of allegiance to-day In the Kustgarten in the presence of the Emperor and his staff and the foreign officers. As each brigade was sworn, his Majesty took his stand by its colors. Addressing them all in turn in a loud voice, the Emperor reminded the guards of their oath, saying: “A man’s word {8 his bond,” and exhorting them to do their duty as “soldlers and Christians.” Regarding the alleged scheme for arbi- trating the Transvaal question, & semi- official statement has been {ssued as fol- lows: “Nothing whatever {8 known here of any common plan of action upon the part of Russla, France or Spaln in the Trans- vaal question. In any case, it may be positively stated that no such plans have been brought to the knowledge of the German Government from any quarter whatever, and therefore it has never been in the position to reject any such or similar proposal . —— STRENGTH OF THE BOERS WAS UNDERESTIMATED LONDON, Nov, 7.—The confession last evening of General Lord Wolseley, the commander in chief, that the Boers were more powerful and more numerous than had been anticipated, sufficlently ex- plains the present happenings, and the ‘War Office will hereafter have awkward questions to answer in regard to its ap- parent colossal Ignorance of the Boer strength, which both in number of men and excellence of artillery is apparently a complete surprise to the British military authorities. Mail news from South Africa shows how inaccurate have been the esti- mates of the Intelligence Department and the | sentative in nformed that the Second and | BULLER'S REPORT OF THE LADYSMITH BOMBARDMENT General Joubert Refuses a Request Made by White to Permit the Departure of Non-Gombatants. LONDON, Nov. 7.—The following is the text of a dispatch from General Buller, from Cape Town, dated November 7, 12:55 p. m.: “The following dispatch has been received from the general commanding at Estcourt, dated November 6: ‘* ‘Since Friday there has been a cessation of hostllities. A note was sent that day to General Joubert by General White, at the request of the Mayor, asking permission for the non-combatants, sick and wounded, to go south. General Joubert refused the request and agreed to allow them to go to a speclal camp four miles from Ladysmith. The townspeople refused to accept this offer. The sick and wounded and a few of the Inhabitants were moved yesterday. A few shots were exchanged yesterday at the outposts. Friday's bombardment was heav; Shells fell in the hospital and one burst in a hotel during luncheon. No one was injured. The only casualty in the town from the shells thus far is a Kaffir killed. ““There was a smart action Friday toward Dewdrop. The troops under Gen- eral Brocklehurst drove the Boers back a considerable distance and disabled a gun. There was also fighting near Bulwana. Our loss altogether is eight killed and about twenty wounded. Ninety-elght Dundee wounded have arrived. They were sent here Saturday. All are doing well. “ ‘“The position here is now believed to be entirely safe. It has been greatly strengthened during the last twenty-four hours. The people have deserted their awellings, and are living in bombproof places, safe from shell fire. There is of good stores of all kinds. Captain Knapp and Lieutenant Brabant were killed in Friday's action.’ “The foregoing Is an exact copy of a press censor telegram brought here by a Kaffir runnner. There is no other officlal news.” : therefrom that a fair estimate of the| Boer forces is as follows: Around Lady- smith, 2,000; traversing Zululand, 400; “Mr. Rhodes is making an avenue a mile long at Kenitworth, to be called | Siege avenue.

WHAT DEFEAT WOULD MEAN. COLOGNE, ..ov. 7.—Letters received by the Cologne Gazette from Johannesburg, dated October 13, said the Germans there indignantly repudiate the telegram to Emperor Willlam, signed by Colonel Schiel, which in no way reflects the feel- ings of the Germans of the Transvaal. As a matter of fact, it 1s declared Schiel was not responsible for the objectionable character of the dispatch, as he was ab- sent at the time it was sent. The letters reaffirmed that Kaffirs were being con- veyed across the border in gangs of 1000 to 5000, and that the escorting Boer forces were robbing them of a considerable amount of their savings. Foreigners, it also appears, were being stopped in the streets and compelled to give up the money in their pockets. One letter con- cludes: “As long as the Boers are vic- torious Johannesburg has nothing to fear, but if beaten the town, with all the mines, will soon cease to exist.” il BRITISH SHIPS ALERT. 7 s LONDON, Nov. 7.—Interesting news comes from the channel squadron at Gib- raltar, showing precautions against all eventualities almost unknown in Euro- pean waters in peace times. On the way to Gibraltar the fleet spread out four miles apart and a sharp lookout was kept for suspiclous craft. At Gibraltar extra sentries are posted at night at different parts of the ships with ten rounds of bail cartridges each. The small guns on the upper deck and in the fighting tops are kept ready for immediate use. The am- munition being on deck and a few men dleeping at the guns, the searchlights are kept working, all boats are halled and not allowed to approach without the per- mission of the officers of the watch. - EKAISER AND CZAR. BERLIN, Nov. 7.—The Tageblatt sees in the Nord Deutche Allgemeine Zeltung’s article of welcome to the Czar a two-fold reference to the Transvaal war. The ar- ticle hails the Czar as an exponent of the old-established and much-prized friend- ship and amicable co-operation between the two empires in Europe, and signifi- cantly points out that, thanks to this friendship, the two powers can proceed to a joint solution of the problems outside of Europe, adding that it looks for benefl- cent results to the world's peace from to- morrow’s meeting. NATAL DUTCH TOOK PART. ESTCOURT, Natal, Nov. 5.—An armored train went over the Tugela bridge yester- day, found Colenso Intact and also found Exact information about the Boer ar- tillery 1s lacking, but it 18 known that General Joubert's detachment before it was reinforced consisted of sixteen Krupp field places of the latest pattern and two heavy Cruzot sliege guns, which but for the opportune arrival of the British naval brigade would have rendered Ladysmith untenable. In connection with the naval guns a most Interesting and important experi- ment has been successtully carried out at Cape Town with a 4.7-inch gun, so service- able at Ladysmith. One of the British | cruiser Terrible’s guns, mounted on a | Scott traveling carriage, was fired in the | same way as a field gun with entire suc- cess. The Terrible, with a number of guns thus mounted, 1s on her way to Durban, nd though the guns cannot now reach Ladysmith, they may be of great value in the defense of Pietermaritzburg, which it seems will probably have to stand a slege. The arrival of the Terrible | with the relief crews for China and other avallable men, must have placed in the neighborhood of 30,000 more men at the service of the military authoritles. e TWO ARMY CORPS TO BE AT ONCE MOBILIZED LONDON, Nov. 8—A Dalfly Mall repre- Third army corps are to be immediately | mobilized and that a division consisting of ten thousand men of the Second Army Corps will be dispatched to South Africa as soon as the necessary arrangements can be completed. The Second Army Corps will consist in round numbers of some 40,000 men. It will be made up as follows: Thirty infantry battalions, three batteries of Royal Horse artlilery, eigh- teen batterfes of fleld artillery, and ten regiments of cavalrv. The cavalry force will thus be far in excess of the usual proportion of that arm to the infantry, but It is concluded that the war office pro- poses to equip a special cavalry di‘:!s)'on. a course which the nature of the warfare and the character of the country in South Africa render necessary. The Third Army Corps, but a purely | nominal affair, will number at the outside some 25,000 men. It could not be brought up to its full strength without the aid of the militia. It will be required for garri- son purposes, as nearly every military station in the kingdom will be denuded of troops by the concentration of the Second Army Corps at Aldershot. The mobiliza- tion of the Second and Third army corps is absolutely without precedent. It will, of course, involve the calling out of the reserves of those regiments which are on the list. the road and railway bridges strong. An Orange Free State force was sighted six RHODES’ SIEGE AVENUE. miles from Colenso on the Ladysmith side. It was supposed to have been en- gaged with the British forces from Lady- smith Thursday. The Boers suffered heav- fly. It is rumored that the Natal Dutch took part in the engagement, siding with the invading Boers. gRe oo FIGETIN(; AT MAFEKING. CAPE TOWN, Nov. 7.—A dispatch from Kuruman dated Friday, November 3, says a dispatch rider arrived there from Mafeking that morning, announcing that Colonel Baden-Powell had captured a number of mules and horses. Fighting was occurring daily at Mafeking, all, it was added, in favor of the garrison. Na- tives report that Colonel Plumer’s force from Tull is working its way from Rho- desia to relieve Mafeking. HOPE TOWN, Cape Colony, Saturday, Nov. 4.—A dispatch which has been re- celved here from Kimberley dated No- vember 1 says: “Apparently the Boer relnforcements from Mafeking have arrived, as the bur- ghers are more numerous and closer around Kimberley. About 1200 of them made a demonstration three miles east- ward at Premler mine to-day and opened fire on the De Beers carts, but no damage was done. “The explosion of the dynamite maga- zine, caused by the Boers firing the place, was terrific. The huts contained thirty- five tons of dynamite, valued at £3500. “All the wounded are progressing satis- factorily. A committee to regulate the supply and price of food is being formed.
