Gen. Methuen Again in the Ficld-
General Gatacre’s Report on the Situation in Cape Colony.—Further Particulars of Modder River Fight.—Boers Strong at Colenso, but said to be Ill and Deserting at Ladysmith.
{Spgcra, To Toe Examiner. ]
Lonpon, Dec. 4.—The Daily Mail’s cor- respondent, in a despatch dated Belmont, Nov. 28th, says the Boers at Modder River were very strongly entrenched on both banks of theriver and also in the broad bed of the stream.
They were especially strong on the north bank, which is heavily lined with thick minrosa bushes,
AN IDEAL POSITION
for the Boers, who had been in possession of it for several weeks busily preparing for the oncoming Britisn.
Our troops, though inferior in numbers, showed
MAGNIFICENT GALLANTRY.
They drove the enemy out of his posi- tion on the south side of the river, forced across the stream and then cleared until he was
him him from the other side driven off in full retreat.
General Methuen now has a large foree firmly established across the river.
The Daily Mail aleo publishes a des~ patch from Sterk’s Troom, Cape Colony, which says: General Gatacre, who oscu- pies » strong position, has been reinforced by the Second Northumberland Regiment.
The Boers bave withdrawn from Mol-
teno. There has been a further movee mevt towards Indive. Dordrecht is safe. Bushman’s Hook is strongly held
by the Imperial troops.
Frere camp, Natal,—-Lord Dundonald’s command advanced to within three miles of Colenso and his scouts reconaoitered the bridge across the Tugela and the position of the enemy. They reported that there were two camps of the enemy and Colenso was
FULL OF BOERS.
A London telegram received here states that General Lord Methuen is
AGAIN IN THE FIELD
haviog recovered from the effects of his wound.
Loxpoy, Dec 4.—The Telegraph’s cor- respondent at Frere says under date of Nov 28th :
Hundreds of General Joubert’s column are ill. Many having lost their rifles and horses have returned home on foot. A few more deserters came in tovday. They say the Boers are
TIRED OF THE WAR
aud are starving.
The military critic of the Morning Post writes as follows :
It is clear our continued ignorance cone cerning the fight at Modder River is not the result of accident. Apparently it is assumed in most quarters that General Methuen practically had achieved the
RELIEF OF KIMBERLEY,
but there seems ‘to be nothing in the tid- ings we have received to warrant such an
] assumption.
The ardour with which Methuen forced the pace nocthward confirms our conjec~ ture asto the needs of Kimberley. Once Kimberley is relieved, the relief of Mafe- king must be achieved indirectly by
{
threatening other places. No advance from Kimberley is likely to be undertaken until Generals Gatacre and Freach,moving by Stromberg Junction aud Arundel, have joined hands north of Orange River.
It is supposed the
NATAL ADVANCE
has been delayed by necessity of getting supplies to Pietermaritzburz.
Care Town, Nov. 28.—(Dzlayed in transmission.) There are now recurring and substantial rumours that General Joubert, the Boer commander, was killed near Ladysmith on November10th. Your correspondent has seen a letter written by a Buer in Pretoria, to his wife who is at Cape Town, in which he stated he had just returned from Joubert’s funeral.
The Grahametown Journal. publishes a letter from their correspondent with the Free State Ladysmith in which be says: “You will have beard of Joubert’s death before ibis. He was killed by a shell which ricocheted and hit him on the head. He expired soon afterwards. I was standing within ten yards of hia at the time.

—————— JOUBERT'S DEATH Ceo AGAIN REPORTE
~ SECOND EDITION,
[Specian to Tae Examiner]
Lonpon, Dee 4.—The London Chron- icle’s correspondent tells the following story of the Modder River battle:
“The enemy occupied a strong entresch» ed position. Their froat extended fora distance of 5 miles along tne bank of the stream. They were well protected with artillery and fonght desperately.
The battle started at daybreak, our guns ehelling tbe Boers’ left, while the enemy replied with artillery, Hotchkiss and Maxim guns, The artillery battle lasted some hours, then there was a brief lull in the enemye artillery, of which General Mrthuen immediately took advantage.
Our infantry advanced across the plain towards the river in two brigades. The Guards on the right were met by an awful bail of bullets from the enemy’s sharp- shooters posted close tothe river on the Opposite bank. Our 'roops had no cover whatever and were
SIMPLY MOWED DOWN,
It seemed impossible to live through the terrible fire, but the brave fellows did not reireat aninch. The Boer fire was horri- bly accurate and they must have oum¢ bered at least 10,000 men.
The Scots Guards had advanced 600 yards before they were fired on.Then they had to lie ;down to escape the deadly fusilade which lasted without intermissioa throughout the day.
The Highlaaders made several attempts to force the passage of the river, but they were exposed to such a murderous enfilad- ing fire that they
HAD TO RETIRE
afier they had suffered terribly.
Subsequently a party of the guards got over and held theirown for hours against a vastly superior force. The g-neral opiuion of the stsffis that there bad never been suco a sustained fire in the annals of the British srmy as that which our troops had to face. Our men
FELL IN DOZENS
while trying to repul-e the enemy. Among jhe many heroic desds one of the most conspicious was thatof Lieutenant Celonel Cordington, of the Coldstream Guards, Capta n Sellhein, of the Queens- land contingent and a dozen members of the Coldstream Guards,who jumped ins to the river and ewan nearly tc the other side inthe face of a steady fire. They were forced to retire, however, and joining hands swam back, one being nearly drown- ed in returning.
The Britieh guns kept up a heavy fire all day aod fearful bavoc was wrought in the Boer positions,the enerny beiug forced to fly from their entrenchments. Night put an end to theterrible bloodshed.
The Infantry Brigade wae dreadfally cut up. The Boers re- treated at night, taking their guns with them, and we are now occuping their position. Tbe enemy’s losses must have veen tremendous’
