Mr.. Wright says one can appreciate the
horrors of failing manhood except he has suffered

saw his physical powers go from him as the result

There Is no question but what i'm his individual

seems quite probable that any man who believes
himself to be weak may profit by sending for this

thropic interest in giving weak men an oppor-

the interruption of communication with
Ladysmith for an indefinite period.
After Nov. 2 no news was received from
Lad dysmith or vicinity until on Nov. there
came the announcement that the British
troops had withdrawn from Colenso and
concentrated further south. Rumors
came from the continent of a British defeat.
The announcement of the retirement from
Colenso was not relished in England. DIR.

pied Coenso, and the English people feared
that the War Office was suppressing bad
news. In spite of the silence and the ap-
parent interruption of the wires, the War
Office officials stated that they did not credit
the various rumors as to capituiation by
White, which came from Berlin mostly.
There was reason to believe that Gen.
Joubert, who has acted with fine sodierly
spirit, and, it is said, deplores the war,
WoIld hesitate to forward Gen. Whites
o ficill announcements of capitulation, while
it was believed that had news of such a
serious character reached a foreign Govern
ment it would have been officially conveyed
to the British Government; also, owing to the
moral support they would expect to receive,
the Beers would quickly make such an
event known.
This period was one of the greatest
anxiety the English people have known
since the war began. The British position
at every point OF importance was serious.

The Commander-ih-Chief Field Marshal
Lord Wolseley, issued an order for the

showed that Gen. Butler had arrived and
been received warmly at Cape Town; that
the British at Kimberley were still safe,
although surrounded by 5000 Beers; that
the Beers were victorious along the western
border, and had invaded Zululand.
The British losses since the outbreak of
hostllities were estimated at 916, excluding
the casualties Of the Ladysmith disaster
AT this writing there has been practically
no news from the scene of military oper-
ations since Friday last. By the end of
that day the one of the points of the stu
alton around Ladysmith as then known to
the civilized world outside of South Africa
was the withdrawal of the British garri-
sons southwark in the face of the threat
ened advance of the enemy. Colenso
Colesburg, and Stormberg Junction had
been evacuated in turn, and it was stated
that the abandonment of Rosmead and
Nauupoort Junction was imminent To
attempt to hold these places with the present
availab bic forces was evidently regarded as
courting annihilation.
A dispatch from Ladysmith by way of
Ladysmith delayed in transmission

They were driven back to their camp, and
30 of them We're taken prisoners. This
messenger confirms the story of fridays
fighting near Hepworth's Farm, when the
Beers were again compelled to retire with
loss.
So, at last reports Gen. White was still
holding on, while the situation in other
parts of Natal were very serious and REIN
forcements not yet in sight While the
British still hold De Aar and the Orange
River bridge the Beers have the latter
undermined, thus commanding the route
from Cape Town to Kimberley. They
also hold the Colesburg bridge, over which
passes the main road to the Cape. They
have possession of the bridge at Norval's

A special dispatch on Nov. from Lady

wounded had been counted on the scene
of Mondays disaster, while $40 prisoners
were sent to Pretoria.
Attention was drawn to Colenso, in rear
of Whites force, believed to be well de-
Tended by composite military and naval
corps. The bridge over the Tugela, it was
said, was guarded by two naval 12-pound-
