Conse- quently his and Paget's cavairy were un- able to make any wide turning movement. Clements attacked one position while Pa- get attacked another. The position as- saulted by Clements was gallantly cap- tured by the Royal Irish, who captured a gun of the Seventy-seventh Battery lost at Stormberg. The list of casualties has not yet been reported. but Clements states that they are few considering the strength of the positions assaulted. “Hunter’s cavalry, under Broadwood, reached Bethlehem on July 8.

The fact that all the larger vessels of the immense for- | eign fleets were obliged to remain at a | distance and out of the fight, the reduction being accomplished entirely by the gun-| boats, makes the achievement all the more remarkable.
