Transcribed by Emily Smith. Geo. GEN. FRENCH'S OPERATIONS. Colesberg Still Unoccupied. Story of the Lost Commissariat Train. [From the Press Association Correspondent.] Naauwpoort, Tuesday. Colesberg is not yet occupied. General FRENCH, advancing on Saturday, found that the enemy had damaged the railway beyond Arundel. The line was, however, speedily repaired. The camp was pitched at Rensburg, and on Sunday evening the British force started afresh towards the north west, making a detour in the direction of Colesberg. Early on Monday morning they took up a position for attack on the hills surrounding the town. The enemy held firmly to their positions, but were persistently shelled by two batteries of Royal Horse artillery; which were supported by the cavalry and Bershires. Fighting went on all day, and the enemy were driven from hill to hill. In this the Bershires did good work, occupying successive positions on the high ground, seizing every opportunity to pour a hot fire on the enemy. The artillery meanwhile worked round the side of the town and shelled the hills to the eastward. The enemy retired in a westerly direction and were again followed by our force. Last night they had reached Vanderwaltsfontein by way of the north, and fighting took place today in that direction. The numerous hills round Colesberg are not continuous, but are thickly dotted about the veldt in groups. It is, therefore, very difficult to hunt the enemy completely our of their positions. Our forces occupy a widely extended front to the southwards and eastwards of the town. An unfortunate accident has occurred on the railway. Twenty six trucks laden with provisions, which were standing at Resburg Station, escaped down the incline towards Colesberg Junction, and attaining a great speed ran as far as a broken culvert beyond Plewman, the station between Rensburg and the Junction. The trucks were wrecked, and the enemy began looting the freight Another train was despatched from Rensburg with a company of the Suffold Regiment and a number of Cape boys to attempt to recover the provisions. The enemy opened fire on the Suffolks and Vanderwalts with cannon obliging the men take shelter in a neighbouring watercourse. The enemy's fire was then directed on the two trains, killing several natives. Twenty shells in all were fired, and the relief train then returned to Rensburg. The number of our casualties is not know. Sixteen wounded arrived at Arundel today. -- Emily Smith
