The first aocount giving any ade-
quate explanatien of General Buller's
defeat'at the Tugela River comes by
mail from Mr, Bennett Burleigh. The
Daily Telegrapth'e eorrespondent, setts
a Loadem despatch, It appears that
the battle orders, drawn up by Gee-
eral Clery, provided for the effective
support t4 the artillery by Geaeral
Bartou's and General laundoealdre bri-
gades. Tnose were never completed.
General Hart missed his way, Laird
Dundonald failed to support, and Gen-
ertai Barton got pert of bis forces in
an untenable position. Colonel Long,
with the artillery, eutplaced the es -
cert of the gone, and they were lost.

home, in Cuba and nfaxilla, if his own
countrymen generally did this, and be
answered :-"Yea ; it is marvellous,
biet, wasteful."
Closer and closer walked the soldiers
to the Boer trenches, until withiu 400
yards of the nearest rifle pits. Then,
lying down, they returned the fire,
but there was little of nothing to aim
at
HEROISM OF THE IRISH,
By 7.16 the Irish brigade had driv-
eri the Boers to the north bank of the
Tugela. They found that the eaemy
had planted the ground with barbed
wire entauglemexits. Even in the bed
of the river berbed wire was laid
down. Into the water went the Dub.
lin Inuiskillings, Borderers and Con-,
rtaughts, but it was found at the ford
tbat the Boers had Cunningly &Muted
the river, and there was ten feet of
water where ordinarily it is bat knee
deep. They strove tofind the cross-
ings, and many a fine fellow, with his
weight of ammunition and accoutre-
ments, was drowned. It was a des-
perate and serious situation. The
attack upon the right was making no
progress, and the hearts of the men
had reached an apparent impasse, But
there were furious and angry Irish-
men who had resolved to get 13.01' OSS
somehow. By dint of scrambling -
from rock to reek and swimming, a
number won the oilier side, Yet most
of them found that they had lout
passed across a winding spruit. The
Tugela still lay in front, and all the
while the murderous fire of cannon
and Mauser crashed and comrades fell,
weltering- in their blood.
In the meanwhile Colonel Long had
lost his guns, and Generals Buller and
Clery with their Staffs and escorts had
ridden to the scene.
TRIED TO SAVE THE GUNS.
The spouting hail of lead and iron
snapped and spluttered, and the dust
puffed more than ever. Lord Roberts'
son, with Captains Sehofield and Con -
grove, volunteered to ride out and en-
deavor to save the two field batteries
in the open. Readily other volunteers
were found. Corporals from the lines -
Men and drivers of the ammunition

out and men and, aorses again be-

let and his clothes were out by other
missiles. Schofield alone escaped un-
touched. Across that valley of death
q,uickly the surviving animals wexe
rounded tip and the guns were hook-
ed and dragged away.
Again and again that day attempts
were made to haul off the remaining
guns, lout the Boer fire was incessant
and withering. At four the battle was
over. General Buller abandoned the
guns and retreated. i
