Losses Heavy and Public Concern Over Boer Defeat
London reports that the Boers captured 18 officers and 559 men at Madaliesburg after pushing Clements's forces to Commando Nek. Kitchener notes De Wet's northern escape with substantial Boer support, while Dewet’s raids test British lines. The public mood darkens as losses mount and Lloyd George denounces the setback. Chicago correspondent James Archibald suggests the war continues and Kruger’s disappointment will not deter Boer resistance.
