Iimkis, Dec. 14. Julian Italph, tl
scrlblng tho b'attlo of Magersfonteln, In
a Bpiilaldlnpateh to Ilio Dally Mall,
says :
"Tho Boors were entrenched at Mag.
orsfontotn, four miles north of Moddor
Itlver. At d.iwn Monday, tho High
landers, advancing acros tho voldt,
wero suddenly subjojted to a murderous
llro from tho tranches about 200 yards
in front.
Tho greater part of tho fearful lo of
tho day was thus suffeied in a single
minute. Startled and overwhelmed,
tho brigade retired quickly, but soon
rallied and retained their position. This
was on tho left. On tho right tlin
Guards' brigade advanced nuross tho
voldt against the other trenches and
fought an iuvisable foe for in hour.
I At II in the morning tho Gordon
UighlaiiderH wen sent forward. Tho
Iloers allow etl them to ias one Hue of
trenches and then rullladod them. Wo
raked the Doer lienehes with artillery
throughout the day. The lighting only
rcaccd with nightfall."

casualties included tho Mannils ot Win

Colonel Downham.of the First Battalion
Gordon Highlanders, who was mor
tally wounded.
When the Highlanders met tho mur
derous ixitnt-blank llro of tho Botrs,'
about 22 wero mowed down. Tho Black
Watch regiment, on ro-forinlng, was
able to muster only lriO men. Tl o
Boers lost heavily in the trendies ami
'also in tho wire entanglement when
they came Into tho o-on in an attempt
to Hank tho British.
Tho torrifin British artillery llro pro
vokod no res-tonse except from tl o
Iloers' rilles unt 1 nearly I o'clock in
the afternoon, when tho Gordon High
landers formed to renew tho attack on
tlio entrenched kopje. They advanced
with the utmost gallantry to attack tho
Boers, clpso to tho plnoe where lay their
dead and wounded comrades of tl o
Highland brigade.
Tho enemy opened with n heavy
shrapnel llro, as the British advanced,
and it was found physically Impossible

Tho Iloers had frm recourse lo
