ANXIETY IN LONDON.
Crowds Watch For War Office Bulletins
With Deep Interest.


LONDON, Oct. 23.-Despite the fog
the London newsboys found ready
sale for the newspaper extras announce
ing the continued victories in South
Africa. The losses in killed and
wounded were the subject of pulpit
references in all the churches, especially
the Catholic churches, owing to the dis
asters that befell the Irish Fusileers.
The vicinity of the war office was
crowded all day by anxious inquirers for
the latest information. The greatest
anxiety and suspense existed regarding
the losses at Elandslaagte and as to the
fate of the Hussars who pursued the
Beers from Glencoe. Among the call
ers at the war Office were the lord chief
justice of Ireland, Sir Peter O'Brien,
who called to inquire for particulars as
to the Irish troops; Mrs. Hammersley,
whose husband was wounded at Glen
coe, and other we'll known society
women.
Typewriter copies of the reports of
General Sir George Stewart Whitesswere
posted on bulletin boards or read to the
crowds amid much enthusiasm, while
the additions to the lists of killed and
wounded at Glencoe We're received with
manifestations of personal bereavement.
The stream Of callers at the war office
showed little diminution as the evening
advanced. Everybody was gratitied to
read the kindly message from the queen
and disappointed at the absence of news
from Glencoe, many arguing that com
munication must be cut off, as other.

losses, though heavy, were not out Of
proportion to it's Importance, may be
regarded as having completely democrat
ICED the we'll laid but ineffectively ex-
ecuted plans of the Beers. In the
opinion Of military critics it will tend to
bring the war to a speedy conclusion.
General White, it is hoped, may have
been able by this time to relieve General
Yule at Glencoe rs enabling him to
deal with Genera Joubert's column as
General Symons and General French
have already done with the others.
There is still to be guarded against a
possible raid from the Drakenberg range
by Free State troops or from Vryheid,
through Zululand. The British plan
will, therefore to a great extent, be still
to remain on the defensive, as Sir
George White has an extended front
threatened at many points to protect.
There is no longer, however, any ap-
prehension of even the expected initial
success of the Beers. The two victories
already gained by the British must
have completely disillusioned them of
the idea they had gained through the
Majuba affair, and looking to the state
ments already circulated that Presi-
dent Kruger himself was opposed to
sending the ultimatum, there is specu-
lation in some quarters that the Beers
may now sue for peace.
The Daily News, on the contrary,
says: SIT is not at all likely that the
two victories portend speedy end of
the war. The Beers will fight on and
our army Of occupation must be hurried
forward. The appalling loss of officers
and men we have sustained shows
clearly that we have stiff work before
us. The army corps will have ample
work to do''

Beers Lose Heavily at fafekine.

CAPE Town, Oct. pa message re-
ceived from Colonel Baden Powell, in
charge at Mafeking, says that 90 Beers
were killed and large number wounded
in the encounter with his force. 1t is
believed that the explosion of dynamite
at Mafeking, so cleverly arranged by
Colonel Baden-Powell, resulted in very
large loss to the Beers, SO that it is
quite probable that General Cronje will
not resume the attack and will perhaps
retire altogether.

LONDON, Oct. 23.-The war Office pub
fishes the following dispatch from the

urday at Elandslaagte, between Glencoe
and Ladysmith, when the British under
General French routed the Transvaal
forces under General Jan Kock, second

while reintorcements, sent out later, on
ascertaining the enemy's strength, We're
arriving from Ladysmith, the real action
did not begin until $3.50 p. m. At that
hour the Beers held position of very
exceptional strength, consisting OF a
rocky hill about mile and half south
east of Elandslaagte station.
At $3.50 p. m. our guns took posi-
ton on ridge 400 yards from the
Beers. whose guns at once opened fire.
This fire was generally well directed,
but somewhat high. This time, con-
trary to previous experiences, their
shells burst we'll.
The Imperial light horse moved to-
ward the left of the enemy's position
and two squadrons of the Fifth lancers
toward his right. During the artillery
duel mounted Beers pushed out from
their left and engaged the Imperial
Light horse. In Jew minutes the en-
emy's guns ceased firing and our artil-
lery was turned on the mounted Beers,
who opposed the imperial light horse.
! The latter at once fell back. After the
artillery preparations our infantry ad
vanced to the attack, supported by oul
guns in the second position. The De,
vonshires held the enemy in front
while the Manchester regiment and the
Gordon highlanders turned his left
flank.
