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.
