Reuter's correspondent at Boshof telegraphs on Saturday that Lord Methuen's Field Force occupying an advanced position at Dwarkokjes Fontein was ordered to return to Boshof. While the force was retiring, two thousand Boers with three guns fiercely attacked the column. The Colonials and Yeomanry occupied a kopje and held the enemy in check until the column and convoy passed safely. There were some British casualties, and it is believed that the enemy's losses were heavy, as they advanced to within three hundred yards of the kopje.
