mated that the total loss will reach
24O. The loss of the Beers is reported
as four killed and a few wounded. L
is claimed that fifteen Beers were I'M

The colonial Office received a dis
patch from johannesburg at o'clock
this morning saying that all was quiet
there. An official from Sir Hercules
Robinson, governor of Cape Colony,
says:
"Dewett (sir Jacob BewetD, the Brit
ish agent at Pretoria, wires: Every
thing is quiet and no further serious
disturbances will occur. A deputation
from the johannesburg reform commit
tee came over yesterday evening, CIV
ing guarantees to keep the peace and
maintain order. I waited on President
Kruger ard informed him of the
guarantees. He gave me the assur-
ance that, pending your arrival, if the
johannesburg people would keep quite
and commit no hostile acts, or in any
way break the laws of the country, Jo-
hanneSburg will not be molested or
surrounded by the burgher forces. The
deputation was highly grateful for this
assurances and pledged the committee
to preserve peace and order I take
this opportunity Of testifying in the
strongest manner to the great modera-
ton and forbearance of the govern
ment of the Transvaal under excep-
tional trying circumstances. Their at
titude toward myself was everything
t cn11l6 txric pa ,pic -
arrived. The casualties on their side
are said to be severe, and on the side
OF the burghers very slight"
SEVENTY DEAD.
Another dispatch from Sir Robinson
to Mr.. Chamberlain reads: "Dewett
wires that Jamesons wounded number
over thirty. They are all at Kruegers-
dorp and attended by doctors. Their
names and the details of their wounds
cannot be given. The number Of killed
is estimated at seventy but no reliable
information is obtainable. The bodies
are still being picked up on the battle
field and buried. The Cape Town pa
pers state that DR.. Jameson, Sir
Charles Willoughby and Capt White
brother of Lord Annaly, are lodged
in Pretoria Jail. Grey and Coventry
Capt. Charles ]. Coventry, Of the
Bechuanaland police, and a brother OF
the Earl Of Coventry are wounded
The Beers captured about 500 prison
+ ers."
dispatch from Cape Town says:
There is no doubt that DR.. Jameson
yielded after ihe had lost at least twen-
weight men. The battle lasted from
II the afternoon until II at night.
DR.. Jameson led the three principal at
tacks and his men distinguished them
selves with great gallantry. The Boer
position was a right-angle one, and DIR.
Jameson attacked it at one point, and
in entering the angle had the fire of the
Beers on his front and fanks. The
Beers were muchzsuperior in numbers
and their position was unassailable,
DR.. jameson and $50 men were taken
prisoners and sent to Pretoria. Dr.
Jameson was not wounded. The Cape
Times states that eighty Of the men of
the British Chartered company were
killed. johannesburg is quieting down
and the people are disarming."
A private and reliable telegram re-
ceiyed here this afternoon from Pre-
toria, says that President Kruger has
declared that he is willing to make sat
isfactory concessions to the Uitlanders,
or foreign poulation, of the Transvaal
whose demands for representation, in
view of the fact that they contribute
practically the whole, revenue Of the
republic, led to the ill-feeHng which re-
suited in DIR. Jameso1's raid.
