London*. Not. 16.?It is announced
today that a dispatch received at Cape I
I Town from Pretoria under dato of J
Thursday, Nov. 9. says n report received ^
there from Lndysmith said hoavy cannonading
started nt daybreak, tbat
some of the Beer forces were within
I 1,600 yards of the British when tho jj
, cannonading ceased and riflo fire com t
monced. ?
? If tho news contained in the Pretoria 1
dispatch is correct, and thero is every ,
t reason to believe that it is accnrato, as i
the Boor dispatches have almost invari- <
ably hithorto rendered fairly accurate 1
accounts, it is claimed here that it im* J
plies that a general assault on Lady*
smith was pending when General Jou- 1
bert's report was sent off. !
_ Attention is called to the fact that
~ the date, Nov. 9, is assumed to bo tho
date of General White's last pigeon post 1
II message announcing a renewal of the
bombardment, since which nothing has '
been received oxcept rumors from EstI
court that the bombardment was sus
nieuded Nov. 10.
\ It iB claimed that if tho Boers got
? ^tfheir forces within 1,600 yards of tho
Kritish position it shows they fully
realized tho necessity of utilizing tho
brief interval between the arrival of tho
British reinforcements to make a do*
^ ternuncd attempt to otornr General
White's position.
~9 To successfully ndvauco bo close to
Ladysuutb, it is pointed out, the Boors
i must have been most active in entrenchiug,
and iho uearuoss of tlio besieging
hues, tt is lidded, indicated their roadimm
uess for tbo assault which thcro has
been a disposition in military circles to
^ believe tbo Boers wero not willing to
" undertake.
It mast, however, have boon patent
I to General Jonbert that IaidyMnith
J would not fall to the fire of his artillery
and theretoro ho bad no choice but to
gssault the place or retire to the passes
of the Drukeusburg in tho hope of involving
tlie pursuing British in tho iuetricato
fastnesses of the mouutaius.
The cos-ation of tbo cauuouado mentioned
iu the dispatch and the opeuiug
of musketry lire implies, it is claimed,
that the Boers wero obliged to Btop their
artillery for fear of hitting their own
" and that notbiug farther has been
heard rrom there is regarded here as an
indication that either the threatened as|
tnuit was postpoded or that the result
' was indecisive; otherwise, it is claimed,

Tho insurgents opoued the fight 3 '
niles from San Jaciuto, while tho leadug
American battalion was passing a I
dump of houses in the midst of a cocoa- ]
lut grove kncedeep in uind. Tho Filipino
sharpshooters, hidden in trees, '
aousos and a small tronch across the '
road, hold their fire until the Ameri- 1
reus wero close to them. When they
began tiring other Filipinos opened fire 1
from thickets, right and left, farther <
away. 1
Tho insnrgent sharpshooters picked
oft' tho officers first. Fivo of tho Americans
who fell wore shoulder straps or
chevrons. Hot tho Thirty-third never
wavored. It3 crac k marksmen knocked
the Filipinos from the trees like squirrels
ami tiio Americans rusbod the
trench, leaving four insurgents there.
The regiment then deployed under fire
with Major Logan's battalion in tho
center, Major Crouic's on tho right and
Major Marsh's on the loft. The skirmish
line, which was a mile long, advanced
rapidly, keeping up a constant
fire.
Tbo Filipinos made an unexpectedly
good stand, many of them remaining
under cover until the Americans were
witlmi 'JO feet of them. Major Marsh
flanked a small trench full of insurgents,
surprising them and slaughtering
nearly ail of them before entering
tho town.
The insurgents nro supposed to have
retreated toward Dagupau. It was impossible
to pnrsuo them, as the American
rroops were exhausted and their
supply of ammunition was low.
