The Boer plan of action, as it is now develop, ing, appears to be to wedge one strong force of Burghers between the Glencoe and Ladysmith Camps, thus preventing any communication between the two.
When this has been accomplished the com- mandos from De Jager'a Drift and from Land-- man's Drift will attack Glencoe Camp on the flank
The movements of the enemy clearly indicate this. While this movement is being carried into effect the commando which entered Natal through Tintwa's Pass is expected to make an attack upon Ladysmith Camp, operating not directly but on the flank.
As already wired, we are fully anticipating the opening of the battle at dawn to-morrow. Central News.
THE BOERS FROM HATTINGSPRUIT.
GLENCOE CAMP, 18th ́Oct., 9 p.m. On a report that Bners had been sighted seven miles out, a squadron of the r8th Hussars, under Major Laming, recomoitred,
The patrol, under Lieut. Cape, on reaching the brow of a hill beyond Hattingspruit Station discovered a strong advance party of the enemy. The Hussars retired on the main body, which had been moved under cover and was ready to open fire.
But the enemy were not to be drawn. They delivered a heavy but ineffective fire, the Hus- sars having been manœuvred out of range.
Apparently disconcerted by the failure of their rifle fire they retired. The falling fight prevented the Hussars from following up their advantage.
As the enemy made no further advance the reconnoitring party returned to camp.
It is considered that the Boers see they, have net their equnts, if not superiors, in swift tactical movejaents.
THE BOERS FROM THE DRIFTS.
7.30 p.m. A scouting party with which I went out to day met a strong Boer patrof eight miles from this camp. After some sharp firing the Boers were driven back. There were no caqualities on our sile.
