Reuter's correspondent at Winburg telegraphs on the 31st that General Rundle's object on the 29th was to draw the enemy from Lindley, where five hundred of the Yeo-maury were isolated. The object was attained after a hot engagement the whole day, the Boers being on a lofty kopje. The Guards lost heavily in the attack owing to the accidental firing of the veldt by our men rendering their khaki uniforms conspicuous. The Guards lost thirty-three killed and ninety-eight wounded, and the Scots Guards four killed and seventeen wounded.
