The Boer position proved impregnable, forcing a costly retreat under heavy shell fire as observers question spy reports and troop strength. The setback sent South African markets and securities into a slump amid national anxiety.

The article also mentions anticipated remarks by McBon of Illinois and signals a broader, party-spanning support for reform.
