LIST OF UNION CASUALTIES. United Press Association. Capetown, March 24. The Union casualties eastward of Swakopound were thirteen killed, thirty-six wounded, and forty-three missing. DETAILS OF SUCCESSFUL OPERATIONS. CAPTURE OF PRISONERS AND AMMUNITION. (Received 8.4 a.m.) London, March 24. Reuter’s telegram from East Swakopmund states that Saturday’s operations covered a wide area, and were most important and most successful. They are still progressing. Albert’s commando surrounded the enemy in a strong position at Barendsmine and charged the enemy’s gun. Wolkmaren’s artillery annihilated the gunners of another gun, and wrought terrible havoc with the men and mules. The German artillery commander’s head was blown off, and the enemy hoisted the white flag. Twenty were killed, twenty-one wounded, 210 taken prisoners, and much ammunition was captured. Collins’ commando captured a complete train of supplies elsewhere.-
