Reports Heavy Boer Iosses-Boers to

LONDON, Dec. 6.-The war Office has
received the following from General
Butler:
"PIETERMAR1TzBURG, Tuesday.
Dec. 5.-I, Is very difficult to make any
statement in regard to the encmy's
loss. For instance, at Belmont, eighty
one Of their dead were accounted for.
The enemy gave fifteen as the number
OF killed. There is every reason 10 be-
lieve that the enemy's loss In the Aght
at Ladysmlth. November ., was over
500 killed md wounded. Information
from Il trustworthy Boer source shows
that at Hildyards fight, November 2S,
the enemy lost thirty killed ana 100
wounded. 1t Is Impossible TO say how
far these numbers are correct, but 1t is
evident that the enemy does not ADMIT
tenth Of the losses suffered. Inter-
cepted dispatches TO Joubert from u
commander, show that even the official
dispatches contain decidedly inaccurate
Information in this respect"

A RErA11AToRY sUtas
Against the Mutual Life Insurance
Company, Of New York.

ErMIRA, N. Y, Dec. 6.-The suit Of
Col. Davis c. Robinson, formerly mayor
of this city, against the Mutual Life
Insurance Company OF New YORK, tos
$S2S,OOO damages, byreason OF an ailege9
malicious prosecution, is now belng
tried before Justice Burr Mattiee ana
Jury, In the supreme court OF this city
Colonel Robinson, while mayor was.
also for a number OF years trustee OF
the insurance company, having succeeds
ed In that capacity his father, who was
a former governor Of this state.
II Il claimed by the Insurance. COM
pany that Robinson. while acting 0s lto
attorney and representative OF this city,
Obtained a loan from the insurance COM
pnny through one Bush, using him a. 9
dummy, which loan was to be secured
by mortgage upon real estate In this
city. the value Of which Robinson had
fraudulently stated to be sixty thousand
Lollnrs, but which in reality was not
worth more than ten thousand dollRfa
Aside from this transaction, II is
stated that Robinson misappropriated
funds OF the company. funds he had In
his possession as the cOmpany'9 loan
agent and trustee.
Il would appear from the reports here
that the Insurance company has no fear
as to the final outcome OF the present
litigation. which is rctaliaiOry IN ltH
character. and designed to cloud the
other issues which are yet to be bettlOd,
and ita action in the premises meets the
approval OF all Its policy holders here
who are familiar with the facts.
