Graphic Description of the Bloody Battle.

G. W. Steevens, the Daily Mail cor- respondent, gives the following graphic description of the bloody battle and glorious victory of Elandslaagte which did not begin until nearly 5 o’clock in the afternoon. He says :—

“Our guns moved to a position to— ward the right and the Boer guns open- ed fire. Lord, but those German gun- ners knew their business. The third or fourth shell pitched into a wagon full of shells with a team of eight horses hitched to it. We held our breath for the explosion, but when the smoke cleared away only the near wheeler lay on his side, and the waggon had its wheels in the air. Our batteries bayed again and the Boer guns were silent.

‘The attack was to be made on their front and ‘eft flank. The Devon- shires formed for the front attack and the Manchesters on the right. The Gordon Highlanders edged to the ex- treme rightward with a long boulder- freckled hill above them. The guns flung shrapnel across the valley. The cavalry were in leash, straining towards the enemy’s flanks.

A Blinding Rainstorm

“It was about a quarter to 5, and it seemed curiously dark. No wonder, for as the men moved ferward the heavens opened, and from the eastern sky swept a sheet of rain. With the first stabbing drops the horses turned their heads, and no whip or spur could bring them up to it. It drove through mackintoshes as if they were blotting paper. ‘The air was filled with a his- sing sound,’and nnder foot you could see the solid earth melting into mud,

} and the mud flowing away in che water.

The rain blotted out hill, dale and the enemy in one grey curtain of swooping water. You would have said that the heavens had opened to drown tthe wrath of man.

‘Through it the guns still thunder- ed, and the khaki‘columns-pushed dog- gedly on. The infantry came among the boulders and began to open out. The supports and reserves foliowed. Then in a twinkling, on the stone pit- ted hill’s face, burst loose that other storm, a storm of lead and blood and death. Inthe first line down behind the rocks, the men were firing fast, and the bullets came flickering around them. The men stopped and started, staggered and dropped limply, as if a string that held them upright had been cut. The line pushed on, and a Colonel fell, shot in the arm. The regiment pushed on, and they came to a rocky ridge twerty feet high. They clung to the cever, firing, then rose and were among the shrill bullets again. A Major was left at the bottom of the ridge with a pipe in his mouth and a Mauser bullet through his leg. His company pushed on. Down again,

commanding regiments, soldiers yell-— ing advice, officers firing carbines, stumbling, leaping, killing, falling, ali | drunk with battle. And there beneath our feet was the Boer camp and the lastof the Boers galloping out of it. | There also, thank heaven, were squad- rons of Lancers and Dragoon Guards,

storming in among them, shouting, spearing, stamping them into the ground.

Cease fire.’ It was over. Twelve hours of march, reconoissance, wait- ing and preparation, and half an hour of attack, but haif an hcur crammed with the life of a halt lifetime.”

Plan of Operations.

The plan of operations on both sides is slowly unfolding itself. General Joubert is evidently moving south to prevent, if possible, the junction of the British relieving force with the forces at Estcourt and Ladysmith, while on the Orange border the Boers are be— lieved to be concentrating at Donken- poort to oppose Genéral Buller’s ad— vances. It is said that 6,000 Boers have already laagered at Donkerpoort. The English plan seems to be a threefold advance from Durban to Ladysmith, from Orange River to Kim- berley, and from East London by way of Queenstown to Burghersdorp. General Buller has wired the command- ing officer at Queenstown announcing the despatch of General Gatacre, with the first battalion of Seventh Brigade, to East London. . This was the place from which it was originally ordered that Gatacre’s column should start. Thus it is possible that General suller’s first pians have suffered less modification than some have sup- posed.

The British troops arriving in Cape Town, seem a good deal like water to asponge. ‘They disappear. What is to be hoped is that the Boers will sud- denly find the sponge getting a squeeze.

NERVOUS... DEPRESSION

Means Impoverished and Exhausted Nerves—~ Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Food Restores and Revitalizes the Nerve Cells,

People who suffer from Nervous Depression and Exhaustion frequen.ly look healthy and strong. ‘They alone know the thousand dis- tressing symptoms which make their lives miserable.

The lack of nerve force results ina slow and sluggish action of the heart, impaired diges. tion, headache, Gespondeecy, and a fear to venture, loss of energy, sleeplessness, incapa- city for mental labor or business.

With these symptoms there is usually melancholy and fear of death, which tends to increase nervousness, but there is every reason to be hopeful if the right treatment is used. Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food contains all the nutri- tion required to create new brain and nerve tissue. It imparts to the nervous system that life-giving principle which sendsa thrill of new strength and vigor through the system.
