London, Jan 8 ?The first account giving any adequate explanation of Gen Boiler's defeat at the Tugela river comes by mail from Beuuet Bnrleigh, The Daily Telegraph's cor respondent. It appears that the battle orders, drawn up by Gen Clery provided for tbe effective support of the artillery by Hart's, Barton's and Dundonuld'e brigades. These were never completed- Gen Hart misaed his way,Lord Dundonald failed to sup port Gen Barton and got part of h's forces in sn untenable position. Col Long, with the artillery, out paced tbe eaoort of tbe guns and were lost Briefly, that seems to be the story of tbe Tugela river battle But. through graphic columns, there con? tinually recurstbe discovery of un expected entrenchments aud awfui fusillades from hidden Boers and gal lantry such as has seldom marked British battlefields After describing how tbe British force began their advance at day light aud bow tbe Boers left them absolutely unmolested, the cor res pondent esys : "At 6 20 there sud denly burst sn awful crash of Boer musketry upon the batteries and advancing infantry The rattle of tbe Mausers swelled and was main? tained as ono continuous toar. From tbe buildings and iines of trenches south of the river and from tbe river bank itself, tbe Boers fired at our gunners and footmen, and from the trenches on tbe northern side of the Tugela river and from Fort Wylie and elsewhere they sent out a hurri cane of leaden hail and bullets veno monsly rained upon the ground iu all directions, raising puffs aud dust and tearing through the air with shrill sounds. Few have ever seen ao heavy aud so deadly a fusilade, but neither the British gunners nor the infantry heei-1 tated or winced. Gannon were I wheeled into position although many of tbe horses and men wero shot down ere tbe manoeuvre was com? pleted and our indomitable soldiers walked erect and straight onward Not even Rome in ber palmiest daya ever possessed more devoted eons. As tbe gladiatota marched proud and beaming to meet death, so the British soldiers, doomed to dio, sa luted and then with alacrity stepped forward to do their duty, 'glory or tbe grave ' Anglo Saxon soldiers always advance that way 1 asked an American who has seen waifare at home, in Cuba and Manila, if hie own countrymen genetally did this, and he answered : 4Yes It is mar velous, but wasteful ' "Closer and closer walked the soldiers to the Boer trenches until witbin 400 ysrds of the nearest rifle pits Then lying down, they return ed tbe fire, but there was little or nothing to aim at 1 By 7 15 the Irbb brigade had driv? en ibe Boers to tbe nor b bank of the Tugela.
