Bridish and Boers in Fight.

Details received at Durban, Natal, of what at first seemed an ordinary skirmish between a British column and a Boer commando near N’Quta, in Zululand, July 28, shows that a hard, all-day fight occurred in which the British narrowly escaped the loss of a gun of the Sixty-seventh field battery. Four hundred Boers repeatedly rushed the British position, killing Major Edwards and Gunner Carpenter The gun was limbered up and* taken at a gallop for three miles under heavy fire. Five British were killed.
