Lco6sa. Dec. 12.-The reverses suf-
fesod b. General Gatacre at Storm
borg yesterday are regarded AZ another
case oe under-estimation Of the enemy's
fofceo and ability which has already
cost the British 30 much. The many
long foeced marches by which Gatacre
reached St0rmbOrg are characteristic
Of this commander, whom his men call
'Backaeher.''
This sort Of marching against Indian
and Egyptian troops was usually
crowned with sharp and brilliant sue
cea4es, but In the case Of BOer fighting
1t IL different. Gatacre's troops were
not only surprised but were evidently
too fatGued to Withstand the terrific
nre which was poured over them.
The military expert Of the Morning
Post, who has followed the Boer war
critically and dispassionately, warns
England OF the danger of losing part
OF the empire through the parsimony
which is displayed In the inefficient
forces with which she attacks tho
Boers. This warning is the first hint
IN any British paper OF even the proba-
bility Of Anal defeat for England in
South Africa.
There is much comment to-day over
Gatacre's casualties, his losses In miss
Ing. which are not quite equal to those
at Nicholson Mex. being remarkably
disproporuOnate to those In killed and
wounded.
General Walker wires that the cas-
ualty list IL not complete, and In view
OF the Beers. heavy fire the completed
list will doubtless place the fatalities
at much higher figure.
The known casualties are as follows:
Royal Irish Rifles: Six officers
wounded.
Suffolk regiment: Wounded. one Of
ncer and twelve men; missing. three Of.
ficers, 800 men.
Sevcnty-fourth field battery: Wound
ed. one officer and five men.
Seventy-fifth field battery: One on
Ger Killed, one man wounded.
northumberland Fusilcers: Six Of.
f1cers and 3OG men missing.
Royal Berkshires: One man killed

RICE SEED FROM JAPAN.
Found to He Much sapsrior to the Natl,
VARIETY


Variety.
Last year Secretary Wilson sent to
Japan for ten tons OF rice seed Of the
best quality grown In that country,
which is supposed to be the finest In
the world. This seed was distributed
among the rice growers OF the southern
states free OF charge, particularly
Louisiana, South Carolina and Georgia.
The first crop in Louisiana has been
harvested and the berry from the
Japanese seed Is superior to any that
has ever been produced there. Samples
were received at the Agricultural De-
partment yesterday for comparison
with that grown from the ordinary
American seed. The yield Is not only
much larger. but In thrashing 1t Is
found that the Japanese rice turns out
much better and the waste by cracking
was only IL per cent. In Louisiana.
Secretary Wilson is much gratified ut
the result Of the experiment. and ex-
poets that the ordinary American rice
will be entirely supplanted by the
Japanese variety. The planters In
Louisiana are 80 we'll satisfied that one
OF them has already sent to Japan for
ten tons Of seed on his own account.
