LONDON, November 25.-A dispatch TO

Ser, ians are retrcating in great disorder
and trying to make their way across the
frontier wherever they can. The demor-
alizatlon of the troops Is complete, dis

officers over the men is almost lost. The
comm!ssary and quartermaster supplies
are not properly guarded, and there is al.
most a total lack OF ambulanccs to carry
off the wounded. The retreat, therefore,
involves great suffering and must result
in terrible loss Of life.

Another Natural Bridge
Exchanged


A writer in Science describes natural
bridge almost as interesting as the Virginia
curiosity, spanning a canyon about twenty
miles north of the point where the Atlantic
& Pacific railroad crosses the boundary be-
tween New Mexico and Arizona. This
bridge is sixty-five feet long and fifteen
wide at the naIrowest point. 1t consists of
tough grit rock, underneath which the softer
sandstones have been worn away to a depth
of twenty-five to forty feet beneath the
arch. Near by is a petrified forest. The
stone tree-trunks lie just beneath the soil,
or half-exposed, fallen in all directions.
This point trad never before been visited by
a white man
