ENGLAND WAS TOO HAsTY.
The Queens Bitter Regret at the

izing that they plunged into the war

MESA ges-in which she speaks of
dearly bought victories and dreadful
loss of life''-indicate with a plainness
which she has never before permitted
to indulge in under like circumstances,
her disapproval of the war
The British forces in Natal have al
ready lost in killed or wounded nearly
500 men in three days fighting. The
Gordon Highlanders lost only one Off
Ger and five men killed in their famous
attack on Dargai Heights in the Afridi
campaign, while at Elandslaagte they
had four officers killed and nine
wounded, twenty men killed and thir-
ty-three wounded. The Beers distin-
guished and shoot the officers by rea-
son of their carrying no rifles, their uni
form being the same as that of the
men.
The squadron of Hussars and the sec
ton of mounted infantry which pursued
the Beers after the first fight at Glen

longation of the war beyond British ex-
pectation is now regarded as certain.

their combined columns amounts to
some 10000 or Ii 900 men. while the Free
State Beers, now threatening Lady
smith from the east, and column re-
ported to be coming through Zululand,
must also be reckoned with.
In short, General Sir George White
has been unable to follow up his sue
cesses, and is obliged to remain at
Ladysmith without being able to re-
store railway communication, which is
probably broken at other points besides
Elandslaagte.
Thus the enemy, although their origi-
nal plan,' which was supposed to have
been Colonel Schields, failed, may fairly
be credited with having isolated Cen
eral Yule's brigade and divided the
British forces in Natal. General Yule
may find himself in a tight place. need
ing all his experience in Indian and
Burmese fights TO eXtricate himself.
1t is quite evident that the war Office
has news which has been withheld from
the public and, if the situation as here
sketched is confirmed, Boer divisions
may be expected at other frontier
points.
