THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1900.
Wednesday, 21stColenso was now being made our rail head for supplies. The point for decision was now, where should we cross. It was evident this morning at daybreak that the Boers were aff, and any resistance we might meel in crossing and pushing on seemed certain to partake of the nature of a rear guard action. for our flanking bill gave us an enormous advantage. To ecoss at Colenso offered many conveniences, but rather meant losing our grasp of the flanking bills. Still the Boers seemed really off, so it did not appear a vital point, Anyhow, a pontoon was this morning placed about a mile north of Fort Wylie, and while the guns already near Monte Christo harassed the Bours in retreat and shelled their laagers, more 13 prs. were brought out from Gun and Hussar Hills. Four of them, and the 5-inch guns, and Mountain Battery, were posted on the Hangwani Plateau overlooking the river, and towards dusk the two 4.7 guns started for the puntoon. We took them down over the ridge just north of Hlangwani, in the dark. And I cannot imagine any better test of their handi- ness and mobility. Meantine the bulk of the army was moving west, and the two leading infantry Brigades passed over the pontoon, namely, General Coke's Brigade with the Somerset leading, a battery R.F.A. and Gen- cral Wynne's Brigade. They pushed through group of kopjes beyond Fort Wylie and out towards Grobelaars, supported by their artillery, and by Gun Hill; but on nearing Grobelaur they came under a suft rifle fire from every bit of cover on the face of the hill. The reconnaissance accomplished its object; but it cost the Somersets go men. The Boers had held their fie till within, in some cases, 200 yards.

This was no doubt a lucky shot but still the 4.7 and the 6 inch fyddi e, dropped in that neighbourhood, seemed to stir the Boers

The Boers at Green Hill saw there too and began to give way rapidly. The Fusiliers rushed the hill and the Rife Brigade pushed on between reen Hill and Monte Cristo, and the Boers retreat became general. Here a number of them were etiring in such regular formation that the Rifles forbore to slate them, believing that they must be South African. Light Horse or Car bineers, for the Boer is never known to move in nny regular formation. They discovered their mistake, but not soon enough to inflict all the damage they might have done. Dun donald's men seeing the enemy on the move pushed forward and seized the eastern spur, from which they inflicted much loss on the retreating Boors. Monte Christo wasours, Green Hill in our hands, and several small camps and a quantity of ammunition and stores were captured. Hiangwani could no longer be held, and was ours as soon as we liked to take it. In fact we had succeeded in an important step in the advance on Ladysmith. From Monte Christo the little town could be seen and the enveloping Boer laugers. Monte Christo also commanded a large part of the road across the river and the line of hills just north of the river; and indeed its northern spur gave us the command up to Bulwana, and long range guns could even reach that mountain. And
better than ali, this real success had been won with a comparatively small list of casualities. I think 200 ut most for the day? ..

THE RELIEF OF MAFEXING.
WORLD-WIDE REJOICINGS.
LONDON, May 20th. The popular demonstrations are described as unparalleled, since the relief of Lucknow was announced,
The processions in London were so great throughout Friday night, that traffic was di
verted.
The dominant note is one of thanks-giving and joy. The relief of Mafeking is considered a moral, not a military triumph.
|
The Lord Mayor of London "bas cabled to Colourt Baden-Powell that the citizens of Lor- don are relieved and rejoicing at the good news, and congratulate him on his gallant defence, which, he says, will long live in British annals. Lord Salisbury was at Windsor when the news reached the Queen.
One thousand singers serenaded Colonel Baden-Powell's mother at her Hyde Park resi dence.
Mr. Balfour, speaking in the House of Com- mous at midnight on Friday, said although the Government had no direct information as to the relief, they had good reason to believe it
was true.
The processions of cheering crowds blocked London streets yesterday, and there was tre- mendous cathusiasm everywhere in the pro vinces, The churches, public and private buildings, and all vehicles were covered with flags, and everyone was wearing the National
colors,
1/
In Canada and many of the American cities, the colonies, and India, the people participated in the Empire's rejoicings.
There was intense excitement at Cape Town.
Later. In London in a few days £10,000 has been subscribed to a Mafcking fund.
The Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs of London yesterday attended a Te deum, at St. Paul's cathedral. The clergy knelt at the altar while the congregation sang Ged Save the Queen. The Stock Exchange members invited the Paris Bourse members to listen by telephone to the singing of the National Anthem.
The city was illuminated, and there were end. less processions through the crowded streets for hours after midnight.
The Queen has expressed her gratification and thankfulness at the relief of Mafeking.
The English people at the Paris Exhibition assembled and sang "God Save Queen" when the relict of Mafcking was announced, and lice French applauded the Boers, but the
police silenced both.
Colonel Baden-Powell's achievement is the chief theme in the American press, and the Democrats and Tammanites, alone are feting Mr. Fischer and his colleagues. Australian telegram.

tion of the cheering spread like wildfire, and the news was carried through the streets of London like a flash. The bitterest enemies of Mr. Kruger sincerely professed their abiding cratitude to him for allowing the news to go forth from Pretoria that the guns of the rehef column had heavily shelled the Boer largers and that Commandant Sayman had abandoned the siege. The Boer President might have suppressed the tidin, s had he chosen, and kept the British nation in suspense for forty-eight hours, unt! word had got through by other channels, and for this welcome candour the London crowd wave him hearty thanks Until late in the night, the sound of tumultuous happiness was heard, in the West and East alike.

As soon as the news was received in London, it was at once communicated to the Queen at. Windsor Castle where the Prime Minister, whose son, Lord Edward Cecil, is in Mafeking, was dining with her Majesty and to the Prince of Wales at Marlborough House.
It will be seen that though the War Office authorities were still at a late hour, without confirmation of the news from Lord Roberts, Mr. Frank Baden-Powell, and, brother of the gallant Colonel, received a telegram from a Dutels friend in Pretoria conveying the tidings of the relief of the garrison. Amid all the de- monstrations last night, the London crowd, always animated by a nate human instinct than any other crowd in the world, had a stir ring and chivalrous thought. It found its way to the house of Mrs. Ralen-Powell, the mother of the hero of Mafeking.. The ovation in St. George's-place was one of the most moving features of a memorable night.

Monday, 19th-The Boers now held prac tically only the south fringe of the river, where the country is still more broken and the cover perfect; our troops were pressing forward into touch with them, and came under a shrapnel and rifle fire froin the north banks and hills. The heavy guns were brought up during the day. At 30a.m. four 5-inch guns and two 124.73 started from Huasar Hill and the two wheeled pra. from Gun Hill: Pieters and Railway Hills had troublesome guns in their folds, and by 4 p.m. our heavy gues were finding them and shutting them up. It was a very hot day and the journey of the 47 guns through this broken, bushy, hilly bit of country was quite decisive on the point of their mobility,. To describe the country so as to bring the picture of it before you, is, I am afraid beyond my powers. but I can tell you that boulders, dongas, and thick scrub, with many mimosa trees dotted amongst it, covered the ground. It was very hilly and the road was just a bridle path from which even the boulders had not been cleared, and at 2.30 pm. or so the oxen drawing the gun struck. They can go on a very long time, but they like a rest and a drink in the middle of the day, and so they just struck. We had to bor row a hundred men from a regiment we passed and do the last two miles or so by hand. We came into action alongside the 5-in guns, near- Bloy's Farm; but the position was not good
At last! Mafeking has been relieved, Baden enough-couldn't see what was going on; sẽ at 2.10 a.m., on Tuesday we moved across to a Powell and his heroic garrison are safe; their little knoll at the spur of Monte Christo, and at long privations are at end and the Union Jack-Galembert daybreak were snugly ensconced behind excel is still-fying over the little frontier town.
