Roberts' Hard Task Delays Cronje Amid Strong Boer Defense
London reports from Paardeberg describe Cronje's forces tightly protected by river bank cover and trenches, while Roberts presses with saps toward the Boer laager. Buller's Ladysmith effort continues amid sharp fighting as Boers retreat toward Steyn for reinforcements and relief attempts.
British forces repulse Boer assault at Paardeberg
From Paardeberg Feb 24 a series of dawn skirmishes saw about 1000 Boers under General Dewet attempt to break British lines and seize kopjes. Borderers and Yorkshires held positions, artillery silenced Boer fire, and eighty Boers surrendered as Maxims and rifles kept them in check. A Kaiser balloon aerial scout reported ammunition wagons and horses, while the U S court of claims ruled against Admiral Dewey for prize money in Manila harbor.
