London. October 20—-'Uie Wnr Office
has received the following official des-
patch from Ladysmitil. filed at half
past three this afternoon: “This from
Glencoe: ‘Wo were attacked this morn-
ing at daylight by a force roughly esti-
mated st 4.000. They had placed four
or live guns in position on a hill 5.400
yards east of our camp and they fired
plugged shells. Their artillery did no
damage.’ ‘
-." 'Our infantry formed for attack and
we got our guns into position. After
the position of the enemy had been
shelled, olir infantry advanced to the
attack. and after a hard fight the. last
gun was fired at 10:30 p. m.. an almost
inaccessible position was taken. the en-
emy retiring eastward. All the Boer
guns have been captured. We can ace
our soldiers at the top of the hill. Our
cavalry and artillery are still out.’
" 'General Symcns ls severely woun-
ded. Our losses are heavy. They will
be telegraphed as soon as possible."
Efforts have been made to over-
come this and to give the men prac-
tice with the im-Metford. but the.
time has been too short to do much.
What effect this lack of familiarity
with their own weapons will have lip-
0|) the accuracy of the fire of the Brit-
ish can only be judged when the dead
and wounded are gathered from the
fields of battle.
. The Boer attack on the British po-
dllon at tileucoc, as was anticipated
yesterday. developed at daybreak this
morning. and thanks to the prompli~
tilde of the War Office. whose messa-
ges frolll the front naturally take prec
valence. the public has been enabled
to follow the contest and to discrimi-
nate bctwccu the real facts and the
unreliable rumors that have flooded
the papers.
it appears that the Boer artillery
occupied a bill commanding the Brit-
ish camp during the night and began
preparing shells at. daybreak.
The latter under General Sir Wil-
liam Pen Sylnons promptly accepted
the challenge and moved to meet the
invaders under cover of the liriiish
artillery. which appears to have been
worked with such advantage as to
quickly silence tho.enomy's batteries.

fioer position with a rush. in which
the Dublin i‘usileers and the King's
Royal Rifles are said to have specially
listinguished themselves. the fusileers
capturing the first guns of the enemy
taken in the present campaign.
Fortunately for the British. they are
ippnrently strong enough to withstand
a Boer force nearly double their own,
as. in view of the fact that the rail-
way was cut yesterday at Elunds-
inagte evidently ill anticipation of to-
day's attack, it would have been im-
possible to send reinforcements quick-
ly from iadysmlth.
General Symonds seemed to have
been in the thick of the fight, as might
have been expected. Confirmation of
the report that he was wounded has
been received. bill Just how seriously
