ATTACK ON BOERS FAILED Iti port SlluWj Til it (lie Public Anxiety Occasioned by the Oiu'non-4 Silence of tliu W?r Oillco Win Amply Ju?t 11 ?l. London, Dec. 13. ? General Methuon mot with a serious check at Moddet Kiver Monday and suffered great losses. He has telegraphed the war office as follows under date of Deo. 12: "Our artillery shelled a very Btrong rmsitirn hold hv the nnomv in a lnno high kopja from 4 until dusk Sunday. It rained hard last night. Tho Highland brigado attacked at daybreak on Monday the south end of tho kopje: The attack was properly tinted, bet failod. "Too guards were ordered to protect tho Highlands' right and rear. The cavalry and mounted infantry, with a How uz3r ar.iilery battery, attacked the enemy on the left and tho guards on the right, tuppor;cd by Cold artillery and Howitzer artillery. They shelled the position from dayLr.-ak and at 1:16 I sent tho Gordons to support the Highland brigado. "The troops held their own in front of tho enemy's intrenchinents nutil dusk, the position extending, including the kopje, for a distance of 6 miles towards the Modder river. Today I am holding my position and intrenching myself. I had to face at least 12,000 men. Oar ioss was great." The war office has received the following dispatch from General ForesterWalker dated Cape Town. Deo. 12: "Methueu wires that General Wauchope was killed in aotion yesterday." Major General Andrew G. Waoohope, C B , C. M. G., entered the army in 1805, was promoted colonel in 1888, served in the Asbanti war, 1873; in the Egyptiau war, 188'.'; in tho Soudan expedition in 1884 and in tho Nile expedi tion ot 1884 80. ilo was in command 01 tlio First brigade of tlio Egyptian expeditionary force in 18US. Goueral Waucbope has been wounded four times, three times sevoroly. Serious British Reverse. General Methuen, as expected, followed up his artillery attuck -with a general attack on tho Boer positiono Monday, and his report shows that the auxiety of the public regarding the result occasioned by tho ominous eilenco of the war office was amply justiliod. The engagement was evidently of considerable magnitude and tho li9t of the killed and wounded will bo proportionate, without the compensation which n victory would have brought, it, indeed, the affair does not turn out to be a more serious defeat than General Methuen admits. Tho Highlanders, it is believed, must bave stoimed the Boer position more than ouce, while the fact that guards n t?.t <>? <! 4 a e?s a a a?* 4 U /? TJ 1 r?l? ) ? <4 V. tivJ 'J7vIC?Cv? IC w vt w tuu UiUtlU' ers' roar, looked as though the Boers may havo outflanked their attackers. One report says that General Crouje attacked the British. The only compensation the British havo been able to discover in tho disheartening story is General Methuon's statement that he maintains his position ciose to the Boers, arousing hopo that he will retrieve the situation. It is apparent that the bombardment of Sunday and Saturday did not shake the Boers' grip ou their position and it seeuis certain that they merely withdrew their pans and riflemen under cover, while General Methneu indulged in the usual artillery preliminaries Monday, and that when the British guns were obliged to cense firing, owing to the danger of hitting tho udvaucing troops, the Boers speedily reoocnpied their trenches and overwhelmed the Highlanders with a terrible the. probably accompanying this by an attack on the British right flank and rear. Alurm is beginning to be expressed in many quarters as to the situation of General Methneu. As the Westminster Gazette says; "If England over needed a victory it is now, and it is to Bnller, the soldier, 6trong, coolheaded and reticent, that the ceuutry looks for this victory." Tho other papers are abusing the government for its "conipiaoent optimism" and inability to grasp the strength of the opposition it has to overcome in South AfricaConsiderable significance attaches to Geueral Methuen's statement that he 1 is intrenching himself, indicating fear that the Boers may follow np their adi vantage, adopt the offensive and attack him. Indeed, the gravity of the situation from the British point of view oan hurdl?#t>e overestimated. General Methuen's long lines of communication to DoAar are most vulnerable. Should they be cut, General Methnen will find himself in a very tight plaoe, if only from lack of supplies. The news of the British reverse had a , bad effect on the Stock Exchange, where there was a general relapse. Kafflra and Hand mines dropped 2% points, and DeBeers dropped Advices From Outucrr. i The latest advices from General Gatacre show that no anxiety is felt for the saiety of his remaining troops, who have been withdrawn to good positions 1 along the railroad sonth of Molteno. It is said that Bushman's-Hoek is impregnable. The Boers deoline to famish the names of the killed or wonndsd. They say they buried the dead and are removing the prisoner* to Bloemfontein. The Boer loss on Sunday is reported to bare been four killed and nine wounded. Probably this is correot, as po geuuino attack was made by General Gatacre's troops, who were completely nrprised while in column. The British apparently simply rushed up tho nearest hill without orders or kuowing where the enemy was. It also appears that the British were so exhausted that they were unable to aocomplish anything. They had been on the more since 4 a. m. Sunday, travel* ing by train in open trucks in the broil* ing sun, to Molteno. After an hour's rest they proceeded on a long maroh over the most difficult unknown oountry. From Orange River it is reported that 280 wounded, including 2? officers, have arrived there from Modder River. REBELS AT END OF THEIR_RESOURCES A Very Encouraging Report From General Otis.
