War News From the Front in South Africa

Boers suffered 50 killed and 90 captured, including Kruger's grandson, as Baden-Powell's garrison held Karls in a trap. Gen. French and Gen. Buller advance with limited resistance while runs and supplies shift across the theater. A Canadian battery heads toward Bulawayo en route to Mafeking.
