Boer Guerrilla Tactics Continue

The Boers are keeping up their guerrilla tactics in the Orange River Colony, and are causing much trouble to scouting parties or small companies of the British. The British garrison at Jacobsdahl was attacked on October 27; but the attack was repelled, tho the garrison had fourteen killed and twenty wounded. On the same day an engagement between General Knox and General De Wett occurred at Rensburg Drift, in which the Boers were defeated and compelled to abandon some of their guns and ammunition. Several thousand Boers are still in the field, operating in small comandos, but easily concentrating when occasion demands.
