According to the Morning Post's nor

pied with the Boer rear guard, who
were acting along n rhulnittg front
twelve miles lung. The fight through-
out was much involved. The Niers
evacuated aryl reoccupied their po+l-
tlone, subtly concealing their into, -
teas, and only withdrawing their
guns a few minutee prior to their im-
p tiding capture Their gene outrunged

Every despatch proves the Boors

Roberts' report that their dead were

loss than any yet authentically ut:ri-
