SECOND nRITISH VICTORY
Boer Forces Under General 31eyers
Make Anotier Attack on the- Eng
lish Position at Glencoe Caip and
Are Repu!sed With Heavy Losg.
LoNDON, Oct. 23.-A special dispatch
from Cape Town, dated Sunday, says
that advices received there from Pre
toria report President Kruger as now
being in favor of an unconditional sur
render.
It is added that it is expected the
executive council will meet on Monday
or Tuesday to discuss the advisability
of such a step.
The report, it is stated here, must be
accepted with rcserve.
A dispatch from Glencoe Camp, Natal.
says another attack was made by the
Boar forces under General Meyers on
the British pozition Saturday, which
enabled the British to score another
signal success. The Boer column was
driven pellmell over the plains, losing
over 300 killed and wounded. In addi
tion, the British captured several hun
dred horses and made many prisoners,
who are being well cared for.
The Bcer hospital has been taken un
der the wing of the British hospital
corps, as the Boers had only a single
doctor with a primitive staff, who was
unable to cone with the wounded.
The disnatch adds that as it has been
raining all night long and the weather
heavy and misty, it is hardly expected
that the Boers will make another at
tack today.
Boers Fight V.tianty.
The British victcries in Natal following
each in their quick succession, though
accompanied by heavy losses on the side
of the victors, bear itriking testimony
to the valor of the vanquished Boers.
They appear to have fallen victims to
the very plan which they counted on to
drive the British into the sea. They
have been beaten in detail by counter
strolse, carefully considered and bril
liantly carried out in the face of the
courageous opposition which has done
much to increase British respect for the
burghers, whose splendid valor and de
termination, if universally admitted,
reached the highest level.
Fuller accounts of Saturday's battle
at Elanslaagte eniphasize the splendid
gallantry exhibited on both sides and
the superiority of the British in a
pitched battle, although the Boers
fought with the greatest tenacity to the
last, only yielding when farther fight
ing was hopeless.
An armored train with the men of the
Manchester regiment appeared on the
left of Ladysmith at daybreak Saturday
in support of the Johannesburg Impe.
rial Light Horse guards and the Natal
field artillery, with the object of reopen
ing communication at Eianslaagte. The
artillery took up a position above the
town and shelled the railway station,
from which the Boers ran out, and the
British mounted infantry entering the
place released the English prisoners.
British Forct-s Retire.
The Baers, numbering 1,600 men,
with their guns, occupied a command
ing position. They poured such a well
directed fire on the British and their
scouts were so active that the British
forces steadily retired until reinforce.
ments arrived, when the mounted in
fantry was sent to drive the Boers south
of the bridge to the right. A large
force of mounted cavalry in the mean
while swept over the plain and up the
hill on the right. The Lancers met
with a heavy insillade while on the
left. A British battery opened with
good effect.
The British infantry, who had de
barked from the railway train In the
interim, advanced steadily over the
lain and up the rocky ridge previously
cleared by the cavalry. The Boer ar
tllery dropped shrapnel into the ad
vancing columns, but the British finally
scaled the hill, whence they overlooked
the broad valley to Three Rocky hills
forming the Boors' position, their camp
being In the center.
On the leit center the Boers had a
battery of three large guns. The smaller
hils were also strongly held. On the
Boor right was the station in a valley
on the British left. The latter's cav
alry was an both flanks and a battery
on the right was busy throwing shrap
nel at the Boors' batteries.
The British Infantry formed for the
attack in extended orber behind the
brow of a hill, the Devonshires on the
left, with four companies of the Man
chesters and some of the Gordons on
the right.
Under a. Terrific iFire.
At about 5 p. m. the infantry ad
vanced through the valley as steadily as
on a field day. Half way down the
slope they met a terrific infantry and
artillery fire and they fell rapidly and
the wounded were carried to the rear.
But in spite of the steady work of the
Ber guns and the sharpshooters con
cealed behind the rocks, the increasing
fire of top advancing British infantry
gradually gained the upper hand and
the Manchesters and Gordons, edging
towards the right, gained the top of the
ridge, thus outfianking the enemy's left.
At 6 the bugles sounded the "charge"
and the British swept ahead. The Boors
ought to the last, only attempting to
escape when further fighting was hope
less.
In the meantime the Devonshires,
pressing steadily up the left, were
strongly op'posed as the Boor camp and
from the flanking hills, but they car
ried both at the charge, with wild
cheers and bugle blasts.
By 7 o'clock the British had gained
the position and "cease fire" was
sounded.
Three iM-pounder Nordenfeldts were
captured, with quantities of munitions.
The Boors' dead and wounded among
the rocks, who were numerous, were
attended to as far as possible in the
dark.
General French thaniked the troops
on the field, especially mentioning 0o1
bel Ian Hamilton's splendid handling
of the infantry.

K1lled and Wounded.
An official disnatch from Ladysmith,
the British head'quarters in Natal, dated
10 p. m. yes_-rday. gives the following
list of caaua?.ies among the prominent
Boers at the 1,attle of Elanslaagte:
General Vilijoen, killed; General
Kock, wounded and captured, (since
died); Generai Kock's son, killed; Col
onel Sohiel. (Germian officer command
ing the artillery) wounded and a pris
oner; Commander Pretorius, wounded,
prisoner. Several Boor standards cap
tured.
The following is an official list of the
British casualties at the battle of Elans
laagte:
Imperial Light horso-Colonel Scott
Chisholm, killed; Major Campson, Cap
tain Orr, Captain Mullens, Lieutenant
Curry, Lieutenant Shore, Lieutenant
Barnes, Lieutenant Forbes, Lieutenant
Campbell and Lieutenant Norman,
wounded.
Second battery field artillery-Cap
tain Campbell and Lieutenant Manley,
wounded.
First Devonshire regiment-Captain
Lafone, Lieutenant Gunning, Lieuten
ant Haley, Lieutenant Green, wounded.
First Manchester regiment-Colonel
Curran, Captain Melville, Captain New
bigging, Captain Heaton, Lieutenant
Danks, wounded.
The following casualties occurred
among the rank and file:
Fifth lancers-Three troopers wounded.
Imperial Light Horse guards-Two
sergeants and four troopers killed and
35 noncommissioned officers and men
wounded.
Twenty-first field battery-Three gun
nere wounded.
I Forty-second field battery-Two gun
ners and a driver wounded.
First Devonshire regiment-Twenty
nine noncommissioned officers and men
wounded.
First Manchester regiment-Eleven
noncommissioned officers and men killed
and 26 wounded.
S-vere Biow to Boers.
Oolonel Scot't-Chi4iolm, the only Brit
ish officer killed, was formerly attached
to the Ninth lancers. He served with
distinction in the Afghan war and or
ganized the present Imperial Light
Horse, a majority of whom are refugees
from the Rand. The death of General
Viljoen is a severo blow to the burghers
and the death of General Kock and the
capture of General Pretorius will hand
icap the further movements of this
column.
According to advices from Durban,
Natal, the Boars have entered Zululand,
a large column advancing towards Me
loth.
The best oninions do not credit the re
ports that the Boers are suing for peace,
or that they are likely to yield at pres
ent, though they think the Boers prob
ably will retreat to their line of defense
in the mountain passes of Laings Nek
and Draken ur;:, where they have
blocked the passes with great boulders
and masses of rocxs blown up on each
side and where, if they so desire, they
would be able to hold oun until the ad
vance of Major General Sir Redvers
Bulier through the Orange Free State
should compel them to leave the Natal
side to meet the invasion from the south.
The sensational ruaiors of the designs
of the foreign powers inimical to Brit
ish interests meet with scant credence,
thou' l it is admi:ted that it is difficult
to explain tie inimnse forces on land
which Great Britain is now mobilizing.
Mussia io G-t Citas.
In Vienua it is reported that the Brit
ish naval movements are due to a ru
mor that Russia, with the assent of
I France, is about to acquire from Spain
Ceuta or some other naval station on
the African coast.
Elsewhere it is stated that the move
ment of the Fronch Mediterranean fleet
in the neighborhood of the Levant,
where it could easily be joined by the
Russian Back sea fleet via the straits
of the Dardanolles, is ocasioning sus
picion.
Lady Randolph Churchill and Mrs.
Arthur Paget are organizmtg a fund
among American ladies in England,
with the intention to completely equip
a hospital ship for service on the South
African coast a: a cost of ?8,000. Lady
Curzon and Mrs. Bradicy-Martin have
been invited to join the committee.
The authorities in Australasia are
much exercised at the reports that the
imperial government has erdered canned
meat in America. though the war office
had promised to conserve Australasian
interests. Those in the best position to
judge, however, predict that the pack
ers of the United States will secure
large ordlers, a~s the British colonies are
unable to supply a tithe of the quantity
required, if the campaign continues
long.
BLACK REPLIES TO OUZTS.
Sensational D~.pens~ary Exposure 3Iay
Cnuae- lloodshed.
CotxuiBA, S. C., Oct. 23.-Some peo
pe think the recent dispensary expo
sures by D. A. Ouzts will result in
bloodshed. The members of the board
of control are out uis town, but Captain
John Black, who was attacked by Ouzts,
has written a card that seems to call for
action if the men meet. He also con
veys a kind of challenge.
At the same time Ouzts has written a
card, in which he says he hears much
talk behind his back, but that he is still
in Columbia, is not hiding, and then
gives his address.
Black's card is altogether the '-warm
est" thing that has been written in Co
lumbia for many years. He denounces
Ouzts as - . coundrel, thief and liar."
Further developmnents in the affair are
expected.__________
Advance In Freight Rates.
BinMisoniM, Ala,,- Oct. 23. - The
southern iron committee makes formal
announcement that there will be an
advance of 50 cents per ton in export
iron freight rates, effective Nov. 1. This
applies in North and South Atlantic
and gulf ports from the Birmingham
district. The rate to Pensacola as a
basis is fixed under the new scale at
$1.50 per toni. The advance in rates is
in line with the policy of the reads to
run up freight charges when prices ad
vance to the point wvhere the additional
freight charge is justified.

DEWEY UNABLE TO COME.
Physician Advlies That He Abandon
Mis South-rn Trip.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-By advice of
his physician, Admiral Dewey has can
celed his proposed tripz to Philadelphia
and Atlanta, and will accept no more
invitations.
The following official statement on
the subject was made at his office here
today:
"Acting on the advice of his physi
cian, Admiral Dewey finds that it will
be necessary to cancel the engagements
he has entered into to visit certain cities,
and to decline all invitations for the
present. He finds that the mental
strain incident to such visits is seriously
affecting his health."
It was said by one of Admiral Dewey's
friends that this is not to be taken
as an indication of any alarming condi
tion in the admiral's health, but that to
a man of his temperament, the excite
ment and mental strain incident to the
various public functions in which he
has been a participant have proved un
usually trying. He will remain as quiet
as possible for the balance of the winter,
and it is hoped by next spr.ng he will
be able to take a short trip zcuth and
visit some of the places whose inhabi
tants have been so anxious to welcome
him.
The invitations for his Philadelphia
and Atlanta trips were cancelled by tel
egraph today and the situation was ex
plained to the Charleston delegation,
which was anxious for him to include
South Carolina in his southern journey.
The admiral's indisposition will have
no effect on Lieutenant Brumby's visit
to Atlanta.
SENSATIONAL DAMAGE CASE.
Affidavits Filed by the S -nboardl's
Lawyers In R tleiah.
RALEIGH, Oct. 23.-Five years ago an
ice factory, the property of the Hygienic
Ice company of Charleston, S. C., was
burned. Last year the company brought
suit against the Seaboard Air Line,
claiming the fire was caused by sparks
from one of its engines. Last summer
the superior court gave a verdict for
$20,000 and costs against the railway.
The case is before the supreme court
and today a great sensation was caused
by the filing of affidavits that the
negro engineer of the factory, John
Branch, set fire to it One affidavit is
from the engineer's brother, that he
went with him and saw him set fire to
the building, the engineer saying that
he would be well paid for it. The en
gineer is now dead.
The affidavit says the ice company did
not bring suit until after his death. An
other affidavit is that the negro, who
was a witness for the ice company, was
paid for his services in that capacity.
