Of Mondays disaster, while $40 prisoners

Another list of casualties at Du-dee

gives eighty-two non-commissioned Off
GERS and men of the Dublin fus.leers miss

as many fusileers as they did hussars,
AMERICAN AID APPRECIATED.
The newspapers here continue to ex-
press keen pleasure at the sympathy Of
the United States. The S.. James Gazette
says:
Few more graceful examples could be
imagined of the courteous spirit of Anle T.
lean sympathy with this country which
has been so often evident of late than tho
project of the American ladies' hospital
ship, which will probably be fitted out
with many Of those American nurses
whose services were so valued during the
Cuban war. This is the first example OF
a hospital ship provided by one nation
at peace for another in the stress of war,
and the responses to the appeals for 1t
from both sides of the Atlantic show how
the generous idea is accepted by friends
in both countries
LIEUT.. EGERTON WOUNDED.
The war office this afternoon issued
the following dispatch
"Chicf Of staff. Ladysmith, to war
secretary:
'Ladysmith. Nov. 2.-Lieut Egerton.
ed this morning by a shell, left knee
and right foot. Life not in danger at
present
1t was inferred from this dispatch that
the artillery duel between the Beers ana
British continues, as Lieut.. Egerton was
a gunnery lieutenant with the big naval
guns.
MAY TAKE THEM LATER.
George Wyndham. parliamentary under
secretary Of state for war, has replied to
Col. Sir Charles Howard Vincent's offer
of a thousand volunteer marksmen fol
South Africa, that it would be against
the regulations to send volunteers abroad
or to enlist them for a shorter period
than three years He says, however, that
in case of crisis causing larger draw
ing from the home garrison, of which
there is no appearance at present, volun-
teers would be called for and enlistments
accepted for a shorter period.
-. ANOTHER HOSPITAL SHIP.
The Princess of Wales has placed at
the disposal of the Red Cross society a
large sum of money-the remainder of a
fund collected at the time of the Soudan
campaign in 1SS5-for the equipment of a
hospital ship to be designated by the
committee. including Viscountess Wolse'
ley, Lady Vantage and the Warehouses
of Lansdowne. The committee is max
ing arrangements to secure the British
steamer Midnight Sun, which will be re-
named Princess of Wales. Her royal
highness will personally contribute G1,OO0
toward the equipment.
The war office officially declares that it
has no information of any further en-
gagement at Ladysmith, or of a British
victory. as reported in New York.
