President Steyn end Peit Fourie Ud the charge and DeWet brought up the rear The Britiab guns and rifles boomed snd rsttled incessantly Tbe Boers first tried tbe eastward ronte; but en countering artillery, tbey diverged and galloped to tbe front of tbe hill to tbe westward, where tbe fire of ooly a single post wss effective The whole menoeuvre wss a piece of magnificent daring and its success waa complete, in spite of tbe loss of a 15 pounder and 25 priaoners The British force detached after Haaabrock came in contact with bia commando at nightfall Tbe burgh era were eoattered and Welah yeo manry galloped among tbe retreating Boers, using their revolvers end the butt ends of their rifles with great effect FRENCH ROUTS BOERS Cape Town, Dec. 21.?Gen Bra* bant, commander of the newly raised colonial diviaion, bss been ordered to tbe front and will atart tomorrow At Tborndale Gen.

A short time sfterwsrd I spoke during the night at Joplio. There were torcbea galore, flambeau cluba and bsnds, and I was tiding with looal notables in a flue carriage drawn by four boraes at tbs head of tbe pro csssioo.

THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA. Situation in Cape Colony) Said to be Serious, But Kitchener is Confi? dent. London, Deo 24 ?Lord Kitchen er's dispatches, breathing e confi dence hardly justified by their con tente, brings almost the only availa ble news from the sest of hostilities in Sooth Africu ; bot telegrams from Cape Town depict tbe situation in anything but roseate hues. Without believing tbe assertion of tbe Transvaal agency in Brueeels that ?.OO? Boera have invaded Cape Colony, it is quite evident that tbe invasion waa a serious snd well planned affair. In connection with tbia a correspondent sends an ex tremely interesting letter, dated Be tbulie, Deo 1, describing Gen DeWet and bin doings. ''DeWet has never been taken aeriooaly enough," esya tbe Corres poudent. "It is of little use to pursue bim, ss be fights a rear guard action and gains 20 miles while be is being fougbt.

All bis patriots sod columns march and counter march on his order The forces under his command have been reduced by bis strength of will to s properly organ ized army, moving at bia word The sooner the British rid themselves of tho idea that DeWit's forces are a mere rabble, wandering aimlessly, tbe sooner they will grasp tbe need of tbe determined effort which is necessary to cspture him " The Cspe Colony osbinet had an important sitting yesterday (Sun day) It appears that the Boers have destroyed a railway bridge 90 feet long about 12 milea south of De Aar and that no Cape mails bave arrived at Bloemfontein for three deya Further anxiety haa been caused in Cape Towo by the discovery thst during tbe lsst two months public bodies in out of the way placea have requisitioned supplies of dynsmite. The colonial government is oow eodesvoring to recover possession of these explosives snd ia removing all atorea of arma and ammunition from sospectsd depots Other ad?icea from Cape Town re? present the Dutch element .in Cspe Colony as greatly elated over tbe southward progress of the Boers and as boasting that the whole district of Victoria west will join the raiders It is represented in Cape Town that tbe force traveling from Zoutpans drift is not a body of Boers but one of colonials, hastening to join tbe iuvaders The Peitermaritzburg correspond ent of the Daily Mail eaya : "The Boers are active between Johannesburg and Pretoria, excbang ing ahota with the Britiab outposts, and it ia reported that parties of Boera are hovering around Johannas burg M Nsw York.
