The Boer War Latest News from the Scene of Hostilities. The War Office announces that io the fighting at Elandslaagte, between Glencoe aud Ladysmith, Natal, thirty- one non-commissioned officers and men were killed and 151 wounded, Follow- ingisa pi of casualties among the Boers > n. Viigeen killed; General Koch, tools and oxptered, since dead; Gen. Koch's son, killed ; Col. Schiel, German officer commanding the artillery, wounded and a_ prisoner; Commander Pretorias, wounded, pris- ouer ; several] oer standards captured; Boer force of twice that pumber. This battle was fought between 8 and 7 p.m. of Oct. 21st. A buyonet charge was sounded as the reur of artillery on both sides sud denly ceused, and the British, the Dev- onshires leading, made a superb dush agaiust the main body of the Boers, audaunted by 'facing the fearful fire. Twice were they checked by the terrib- le tusilade, Once the advance quivered for 4 moment, but then, with ringing, roariug cheers the whole British furce hurled itself forward like an avalanche aud swept over the rocky hills, bayon- eting the brokey euemy iu all direc- tions. The Boers were overwhelmed and as- tounded. They paused, then retreated, then raised the white flag aud surren- dered. Two or three hundred broke and ran, pursued by the Fifth Lanters, who charged through and through them. It was quite dark by this time, but , | the slaughter must have been great. The Gordon Highlanders say the storming of Dargai Ridge was mere child's play as compared with this at- took the train for theic home at Well- | tack The Boer loss must have been very heavy, estinvuted at certainly over 400 kiiled. One of the captured Boers said that if he had knowu English soldiers could shoot as Gen. White's men did he never would have come. Another Boer said he kuew he was fighting for' a lost cause, A bngler boy of the Fifth Lancers, outy fuurteen years of age, shot three Boers with his revolver, On returning after the fight he was carried shuulder- high around the camp, A heavy rain fell immediately after the battle, making a pileous scene on the batulefiela, where many wounded were lying. Glencoe Camp, Oct. 22, 12.20 p.m The attuck made by the Boer forces under General Lucas Meyers on the British position Saturday enabled the British torces to score another signal success. The Buer column was driven pell mell over the plains, losing over three hundred killed and wounded. In addition the British captured several hundred horses and rips many prison ers, who are being well cared for. The Boer hospital has been taken under the wing of the British hospital corps, as the Boers only had a single doctor with a primitive staff who were quite un- able to cope with the wounded. As it has been raining all night long and the weather is heavy and misty, it is hardly expected that the Boers will make an- other attack to-day. The casualties of the battle at Eland's Laagte prove to have been heavier than at first supposed, the Bri- tish losses being now placed at 247 kill- ed and wounded, ten missing. The Boer losses are also found to have been much larger than at tirst reported. London, Oct. 23.--A_ private message from Ladysmith to-day says that a messenger who had just arrived there from Pretoria says that the women there are weeping and wailing on the market place. Three trains have been despatched from Klerksdorp to fetch the wounded from Mafeking, It is es- timated that there are 500 killed and wounded, and it is stated av Pretoria that the British casuaities are only eighteen. The Press Association announces, with an air of authority, that the Gov- ag aie plan is to terminate the war in thes iest manner possible after re) the forts at Pretoria and Johannes- burg has been razed, and then to pro- mulgate, by order of the Queen-in- council, a new oa for a group of five federal states--Cape Colony, the Transvaal, Natal, the Orange River Free State and« Rhodesia--under the title of the Dominion of South Africa, }m Governor- the crown to nominate a General, with a Dominion Parliament, te mee bine some modi rs the é saaithea todos of the eroment..

The e De ment ials read with interest today's news from various European centres, indicating the restiveness of Germany and France asked by K a few fights in South Africa, Itis. believed here thatinsach an event Germany will have not only the moral support of France, Russia, Italy, Belgum «nd Holland, but also the ma- terial aid of those nations in the pre- sentation of ademand fora cessation y roger after " of hostilities and the adjustiment of the South African difficulty by an arbitra- tion tribunal. The United States, it may be authoritatively pe will not participate iv any such mo The movement of a dome? French fleet to the Levant coincides with the circulation of a rumor that the Russian advance may be resumed in Agia while England is preoccupied with the war in South Africa. It also fits in with the explanation of a secret agreement between England and Germany, which bave already given in previous de- spatches. "Tits, was that England, in in settling the Transvaal question, had agreed not to make any hostile use of her fleet if the German Emperor were to decide to follow up his visit to Jeru- salem with aserious attempt to col onize any portion of Asia Minor and to bring it under German influence. Dr. Leyds, the diplomatic agent of the Transvaal in Europe, has issued a statement that the Boers have now nearly 100,000 men in the field. The British loss in the gent at Lady- smith on Tuesday totals The bullet has been <a from. Gen. Symon¢ wound, and is doing well, so Gen. White says in his official des patch. The combined British forces at si how amounting to some. 42,000 en. will be amply sufficient to act. on the defensive. The Boers treat the British prisoners kindly, so escaped prisoners say General Yole's retreat nen the Boers in undisputed possession of the upper triangle of Natal, and enables them after two defeats anda third ar- tillery duel to boast that they huve driven back the British and broken up the first line of defence, The f{ritish wounded have been left on their hands and they must also have secur 08 session of a considerable quantity of supplies and military stores at Glencoe. The Boers, without winning a single, battle or skirmish, can claim the credit of having forced Yule to retreat, and there is logic enongh in the situation to justify a feeling of elation, The B ish troops, on the contrary, can justly complain that their brilliant victories have been clouded and impaired by the uady- = rd the garrisons for the sake of protecting the Dundee coal fields, Brussels. > Hilton Hunter is home for a visit.
