THE BOER WAR. THE REVERSE AT HELVETIA. FURTHER DETAILS. A NAVAL GUN CAPTURED. LONDON, Dec. 31. Further details have been received of the reverse which on Saturday last befell the British garrison at Helvetia, a strong posi- tion on the branch railway to Lydenburg from Machadodorp, on the Delagoa Bay line, when a detachment of the Liverpool Regiment was attacked by a force of Boers, who succeeded in completely overwhelming them and capturing the town, the Liver- pools sustaining a loss of 50 killed and wounded, 200 of them being taken pri- soners. Early on Saturday morning the Boers sur- prised the town, and rushing upon a 4.7 naval gun captured it. Subsequently a British force, under Colonel Reeves, of the Royal Irish Fusi- leers, opened a heavy file upon the Boers from Swartz Kopjes, driving the enemy out of Helvetia. The Boers surrounded the gun with pri- soners, thus preventing the British from fir- ing upon it. By this means they were en- abled to withdraw it, though they faded to take away with them any ammunition. Afrikaans: Koerantberig: Die Boereoorlog. Die terugslag in Helvetia.
