BRITISH LOSE 932.

LONDON, December 14.-(After.
noon.)--The British have met with
disastrous defeat in South Africa
The Boers have overwhelmed the
Queens army in Cape Colony, and
two general, Gatacre and Methuen,
have tasted the bitterness of Boer
victory. Their armies have been
forced backward, and the long
boasted advance of the British
through the Orange Free State and
the Transvaal, by way of Kimberly,
has been checked. While in the
end it is confidently expected the
British will march through the one-
my's country, the fact is now that
they have been whipped, and whip
ped badly. Nothing short of great
reinforcements, and that at once,
will save the invading army from
practical annihilation.
1t turns out that the battle of
Monday at Magersfontein was the
greatest Boer victory of the war.
Lord Methuen's forces were not only
driven back in dismay, but they left
total of 832 officers and mon either
dead, wounded or captured on the
field of battle. In this number were
many of the flower and pick of the
British army, and to-day there is
sorrow and mourning in hundreds of
English households.
Even the boasting British Tory
papers and the war department Off
cials admit temporary defeat, and
England is now humiliated as she
has not been in dozens of years.
10000 BoERs CAPTURED.
On top of the positive news of the
Boers' great victories in Cape Colony
comes a report, said to have origi-
mated at Pietermaritzburg to tho
effect that Gen. Buffers army has
entered Ladysmith and relieved
Gen. Whites British army, captur-
ing 10000 Boors in the operation.
But this port is evidently a case of
the wish being father to the hope. 1t
is discredited at the war department
and no news of confirmatory nature
haa been received in London.
Only such great stroke of luck
will save Britain's pride at this June
ture of the war. Should Gen. Jou-
bcrt's forces about Ladysmith prove
equal to the task of applying the
lesson to Gen. Butler that has been
brought home to Gen. Methucn, the
Tfansvaal war would no doubt be
brought to a speedy close. Already
the Cape Colony Dutch are in re-
volt against Britain, and the Free
State and Transvaal forces arc re-
ceiving HUNDREDS of recruits from an
unexpected source daily.
QUEEN DISTRESSED.
1t is stated by person in a posi-.
ton to know that the Queens men-
tai anxiety gives the greatest alarm
to the royal household. s..

LETTER FROM ISLE OF MALTA
CORPORAL HASSEY E. SEALEY WRITES A
LETTER TO CHAS. FINKENS TEDT.
SEES THE ROCK OF GIBRALTAR,
Passes Around Northern Africa, AIgiers and
Tunis-WlI Go Through Suez Canal.

Our fellow citizol,, Mr.. Chas. Fin
kenstedt, has received the following
letter from his friend, Corporal Mas
sey (Mancc) l.. Sealoy, Company /,
47th U. S. Volunteers, now on his
way to the Philippine Islands:
ISLE OF MALTA, B. p, CRY Don
JUAN VELENclA, November 20, 1899.
AS we steamed, this morning, into
this Old World harbor, viewing the
many strange and wonderful sights
presented to view, I was thinking of
my old cbum, Charlie, and my many
friends 80 far away. There is no
truer saying, however, than that dis
tance lends cnchantment to the
view, for | never felt before the
strength and love of tho old ties so
forcibly as now.
We have had a wonderful trip
since we left New York, our first
port being Gibraltar, 5000 miles
away. We steamed into the above
named port at 8 o'clock on the morn
ing of November 14th, and viewed,
for the first time, the rock Gibraltar,
of worldwide fame, and such won
ders were exhibited to our gaze as it
is worth while travelling the world
over to see the great rock, with
it's wonderful Notifications, with 1899
guns, its barracks for $4,000 men, its
truly international city at its base,
and harbor crowded with ships of all
n tions.
There we had shore leave. We
were rowed from our ship to shore
by crew of Portuguese sailors at
one shilling a head. All you have
to do when you have reached there
is to mingle with the crowd, and the
result will be satisfactory, even to
the most fastidious. You will see
the turbaned Turk shouldcring the
bare-legged and flowing -gowned
Moor; tho Spaniard, the English
man, Irish and Scotch all intcrmine-
ling as if they had nothing more to
DO than to mako . pretty picture.
After leaving Gibmltar we sailed
down through the Strait of Gibral-
tar, skirting all the wonderful coun-
tries of Northern Africa-Algiers,
Tunis and others of Biblical fame.
The Atlas mountains were in full
view most of the way through the
Strait.
From the Gibraltar Strait we
steamed into the Mediterranean soa
and on past Tripoli to this wondor--
full little isle of the soa.
In coming into port we steam
through very narrow channel, with
Notifications OH either side, and su>h
great structures they wcr,. We,
were saluted by the forts when enter
ing the harbor, and the Queens SOL
dicrs were out in force upon the bat
Elements to give us welcome. We
will 60 on shore tomorrow and will
have several days here and then will
put on to Port Said. After passing
through the Suez Canal / will have
more time to write and will then
have more to say. So ] will start in
and close for this time.
