Battery Mules Stampede with Guns. , LONDON, Oct. SO. General White's dispatch to the .var ifllce, dated 4:30 p. m. today, says: "I employed all the troops hereexcept the obligatory garrison before the works. I sent "the mountain battery, Boynl Irish fiisileers and Gloucesters to take up a posltlot on the hills to clear my left flank. The force moved at 11 o'clock yes terday evening, and during some night fighting the batitery mules stampeded with sonic of the guns, which, however, I hope to recover. These two battalions Imvo not y.eit returned, but are expected this uft-jrnoon. portance. The ease- with which they re organised the German coriw, which was almost an-ilhlla-ted at Eland's LaagTo, and General Lucas Waier's column. shattered at Talanahlll, ' shows how great aiv their recuperative powers. ' and their fertility of resources. I'nless the present attack Is merely a Unl to occupy the British while the invaders are cutting off from the south ward, the battle which opened this 1 morning may decide the Issue of war so far as flglwlng In the open Is con cerned.
