Staters going west ward, and the Boers northward, and that General Buller, discovering from his scouts that the Upper Tagela district was pretty much upset, had set Warren’s col« umnoin motion for the immediate relief of Ladyemitb.

The Boers had 21 about 50 wounded.

The hill commands the tract'of country east of the main position held by the Boers, and they had determined to make an aitempt to seize the heights. They advarced cautiously, directing their fire at ja smal! wall beld by the Yorksnires and ,eompelling the latter to keep clese under seover. When the Boers rashed the wail the Yorkshires fixed bayonets and ebarged.

Just at that moment Capt. Maddocks, with asmall party of New Zealanders came up, aod the combined forces leaped over the wall and charged straight for the enemy who fled followed by a witber- ing fire at close range. :

The Boers literally tumbled over each other in their hurrv to escape but the persietent fire of the British inflicted heavy loss.
