BOER The British Arc the Victors and Carry the Boer Position. BOERS ARE FIERCE FIGHTERS A Rumor That Kruger Favors Uncondl I nal Surrender, Discredited. ' Glencoe Cninp, Oct. 22. (delayed) The attack made by Boer forces under General Lucas Meyers, on the British position Saturday, enabled the British forces to score another signal success. The Boer column was driv en pell mell over the plains, losing over 300 killed and wounded. The British captured several hundred horses and made many prisoners. Ine Boer ..jspital has been taken under the wing of a British hospital corps as the Boers had only a slm plo doctor with a primitive staff quite unable to cope with the wounded. London, Oct. 23. Special from Cape Town, dated Sunday, says the ' advices received there from Pretoria report President Kruger as being In favor of unconditional surrender. It is expected an executive council will meet Monday or Tuesday to discuss the advisabliity of such a step. The report must be accepted with reserve, London, Oct. 23. Fuller accounts of Saturday's battle at Elandelaagte emphasized the splendid gallantry ex hibited by both sides and the super iority of the British in a pitched bat tle, although the Boers fought wkn the greatest tenacity to the last, only yielding when further fighting was hopeless. An armored train with the Man Chester regiment, appeared on the left at Ladysniith at daybreak Sat urday, in support of tne Johannes burg Imperial lignt horse and the ;Natal field artinery, with the object of reopening communication with Landalaagte. a ho artiner took up a position above the town and shelled the railway station from which the Boers ran out and the British mount ed Infantry entering the place, re leased" the English prisoners. Boers numbering 1,600, with three guns occupied a commanding position. They poured such a well-directed fire on the Eritish, and their scouts were so active, that the British Jor.ce steadily retireu until reinforcements arrived, when the mounted infantry was sent to drive the Boer scouts from ridges on the right. A large force of mixed cavalry meanwhile swept over the plain and tip the hill on the right. The lancers met a heavy fusilade while on the left the British battery opened fire with good effect. The British infantry which debarked from the railway train during the In terim advanced steadily over the plain and up the rocky ridge pre viously cleared by the cavalry. 'Ihe Boer artillery dropped shrapnel Into the advancing columns, but the Bri tish finally scaled the hill whence tbey overlooked the broad valley to three rocky hills forming the Boer's position, the camp being in the cen ter. British infantry lormed for an attack in extended order behind the brow of the hill with the Devonshires on the left with four companies and the Manchesters and some Gordons on the right. About B p. m. the In fantry advanced through the valley steadily as on a ield day. Half way down the slope they met a terrific fire and men fell rapidly. Advanc ing uie British infantry gradually srained the upper hand and the Man chesters and Gordons, edging toward the right, gained the top of the ridge thus outnaniung tne enemy s leu. At six bugles soundeu charge." lue British swept ahead. Tne Boers fought to the last, only attempting to es cape when further fighting was hope less. Meantime the Devonshires press ing steadily up the left were strongly opposed at the Boer camp and from flanking hills, and carried both at a charge with wild cheers and bugle blasts. By 7 o'clock the Britisii gained a position and "cease firing' was sounded. Three 12V pounder Nordenfelts -were captured, with quantities of mu nitions. Some estimates place ine Boer losses at 500, but this is prob ably exaggerated. olonel Scott Chisholm, the only British . officer frilled, was formerly attached to the Ninth Lancers. He served with u.s tinctiou.in tne A..guan war and or ganized the present Imperial Light Horse, a majority of whom are rem gees from Hand. The death of General Viljoen, is severe blow to the burghers am- tue death of Gen. Kock and the'tijpture of Gen. Pretorlus wi handicap tue further movements or tnts comma. According to advices from Durban, Natal, the Boerg have entered Zulu land a large column advancing tc wards Meloth. . T- begt opinions do not credit tne reports that the Boers are suing for peace or are likely to yield at pres ent. ..ensational rumors of designs of foreign powers, mimical to British interests, meet with scant credence, though it is admitted it is difficult to explain the immense force on land,j't0 ,)ermit loading and unloading, which Great Britain is now mobiliz ing. Parliamentary secretary of the war office, George . vyndham, made the following statement in the house of commons today: "Lord Wolseley snobs up the position In Natal this morning as follows: In tbe battle Elandslaagte.
