charging with swords; they were, however, so hemmed in
that they could not make use of their numbers, and after a
few minutes were in full retreat under a heavy fire of guns,
Maxims and rifles, which caused them heavy loss. The 2nd
Mounted Infantry were despatched in pursuit, and the
balance of the troops reforming pushed on to Guru. The
two eastern Guru villages were evacuated, but the western
one was held, and, after being shelled, was taken by the 2nd
Mounted Infantry and Gurkhas, the garrison surrendering.
This ended the engagement, except that the 1st Mounted
Infantry continued the pursuit for some miles further. Our
casualties are—Major Wallace Dunlop slightly wounded;
Mr. Candler, 'Daily Mail' correspondent, severely wounded,
and seven sepoys wounded. The enemy's loss is nearly 500
killed and wounded, and 200 prisoners, all their camp and
baggage, about 60 yaks and 30 mules, with 2 gingalls and a
large number of matchlocks and swords, together with a few
breechloaders, two of which were of Russian make. Amongst
the Tibetans killed was the chief Lhasa Depon and the Lama
representative of the Gaden Monastery; also one Shigatse
Depon, whilst the Phari Depon was captured, severely
wounded. Two companies 32nd Pioneers and the 2nd
Mounted Infantry are established at Guru, as an advanced
post, the remaining troops returning to Tuna by 7 P.M., after
a long and trying day, having marched 21 miles and fought
two engagements. Fuller details follow. Writing report.
All Tibetan wounded have been brought in, and are being
attended to."
