ARTILLERY SAVED HIM
Fether Details of the Disaster t Gen. Gatacre's Column at
 Stormberg.
THE VICTIMS OF TREACHER0US GUIDES.
Part of the Bocr Position-k Rort of the British Force Only Prevented by the Magnificent Work of the Artillery.

London, Dee. 12.-Later details re- garding the disaster to Gen. Gatacre'a 2 column show that but for the magnifj- cent work Of the British artillery the disaster would have been far more eN. tonsive. as the incessant Beer shell fire in the midst of the rePulsed infantry ultimately led tC disorder. N hich only escaped developing into rout through the batteries of artillery occupying successive positions, covering the re. treat, thus drawing d portion of the Boers' gaIag fire.
 Trcacherous Guides.
 Apparently, the British were set an impossible task, and were treacher- ously guided. After trying march and heinz under arms l6 hours, they attacked the wrong part of the Boer position, where the hill was impregna- ble, and the burghers were estimated to number 6.000 men, instead of 2,50O, a. the spies had reported.
 HumiiiatinG Episode.
 There k little in the story to miti- gate sthe intense humiliation ocea- stoned by the episode which was al most an exact counterpart of the bat tie of Nicholsons Nes. The war office was heseiged with anxious relatives, and the successive editions of the newspapers were eagerly scanned. Men and women were equally persist ent in pleading for information, but the authorities either do not possess any or are not prepared to publish it al present.
 A Depressing Influence.
 The affair has excited the most de- pressing influence here not excepting the stock eXchange,w where consols were at the lowest price in many years and South African securities slumped, not so much on account of the military re verse, which is retreyable, but owing to the profound apprehension as to it's political effect. No great surprise would now be felt if Gen. Gataeres reverse resulted in Cape Colony be. coming afalne from end to end.
 Awaiting Further Facts.
 The afternoon newspapers, like the faorning papers, withhold the appor. tionment of blame until they gre fur. ther acquainted with the facts and take the reverse philosophically.

FOOT BALL.

7 me Institute, 6; Chester Righ School, s.
tie game of foot hall was played at
Port Deposit o. Saturday between the
Jacob Tome Institute team and the Chester
High School eleven, the score being 6 to 6.
The play was snappy, and the ball ex-
changed hands several times in md field
as result of good defensive play on both
sides, although Tome lost many yards by
inexcusable fumbling. In fact, had this
feature of the game been eliminated, Tome
would have won. Tones guards back for
nation developed into a frst-class inter-
ference, and many times the distance was
gained on this play. A feature OF the
game was the playing If Chester S end.
