LONDON. Nov. 1.-The American La

of the Atlantic Transport Line gave to
the Government for a hospital ship, is
now at Tftebury. on the Thames, where
Fletcher, Son & Fearnall are docking the
ship gratis. Lady Churchill is busy cor
responding with Miss Clara Barton and
others of the American Red Cross So
ciety. She proposed to devote any surplus
above the cost of equipping the Maine
to sending out thoroughly equipped land
ambulance corps.
Mr.. Choate, the United States Embas-

THE CAPTURED
COLUMN WHS
SACRIFICED"

LONDON, Nov 2-The breakdown of
the Delagoa Bay cable route, combined
with the monopolization of the available
telegraph lines by the Government and
British staff officers, is responsible for the
fact that nothing further has arrived
from South Africa. The Government has
received dispatches rectifying the casual
ty lists. These will be published to-day

ceived concerning Mondays casualties.

An unconfirmed statement is published
that Sir Redvers Butler has left Cape

found themselves suddenly fronted, with

bowels of the earth. The hussars were
splendidly handled, and were eXtricated
with only one man wounded"
The Queen is credited with expressing
sincere pity for Sir George Stewart White,
and the officials are in no wise inclined to
Judge him harshly. So far as the public is

him or instead of attempting to occupy
a defensive position he would have re-

Apart from General Whites statement
that the losses are very numerous there
is nothing to indicate the extent of them
except vague report that the soldier
who brought the news to Ladysmith said
the British dead and wounded were lying
in heaps and that hundreds needed doc
tors. This. however, is hardly borne out
by the long list of captured officers.

BRIToNs YET WORRIED.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The gloom caused
by the British disaster at Ladysmith was
in a measure relieved by to-day's story
giving an account of the heroic stand
made by the decimated battalions until
their last cartridges were gone. The
British nerve was momentarily shaken
by General Whites use of the word Ca
pitulate" in his first telegram, but now
that it is known that the Gloucesters and
FusiIeers fought against overwhelming
odds and upheld the best traditions of the
British army the tension has been re-
ueved, since there is no longer any
ground to dread that the loss of life was
accompanied by dishonor
The details to-day show the catastro-
phe in a brighter aspect The full bat
talions were not engaged and therefore
the list of prisoners is materially reduced,
while the disaster now appears to have
been not so much the consequence Of de-
fects in the plan of action as to a mis-
fortune whereby the column was deprived
of its ammunition. Still, it seems incom-
prehensible why the plight of the luck

quarters, as the scene of the surrender

we're criticism of General White and Lieu
tenant Colonel Carleton for allowing the
column to get out of touch, for the alb
sence of proper scouting and for not retir-
ing when the ammunition was lost. In
favor of Lieutenant Colonel Carleton the
explanation is hazarded that he believed it
was imperative to the success of General
Whites operations that he should hold
the position al Nicholsons Mex.
The Morning Post comments severely
upon the British contempt for the enemy,
as shown by the belief that the large Boer
force at Acton Homes could be held in
check by Carleton's small column. 1t
points out that even il the British there
had been supplied with ammunition, they
could have held out only few hours
longer. inasmuch as they were in the most
complete sense detached. and because no
body apparently al J adysmith had any
idea of their distress Or took any meas
ures to rescue them.
The column was sacrificed says the
Morning Post. "beCaHse it was sent into
action gagged and .4as4dfo}6eS 1t had
neither scout nor patrol. Twelve hundred
men were thrown away for lack of cav
airy which would not have been missed
from another part of the field"
The Standard, which comments in SINH
lar terms upon 1.-The fact that General

umn from the Impossible situation into
which he had thrust it, draws sad pic
ture of the men hoping for relief and
then realizing with bitterness of heart
that some one had blundered, that they
had been forgotten by their general and
his staff, and that nothing was left but
surrender and Imprisonment at Pretoria
until the end Of the war"

Daily Telegraph, in summarizing
the war situation. Up to late
hour this morning the War Office
had no information to show that
either side had made a fresh
move, Telegraphing on Monday
night, General White said that
the security of Ladysmith was in
no way affected. In his telegram
General White tells the story, so
far as it is known, of the lost col
umn, which was much more i'm
tied in number than early esti-
mates represented. 1t consisted
OF the Tenth Mountain Battery,
with probably 100 men; four and
a half companies OF the Glouces-
ters and six companies OF the
Irish Fusileers. These regiments
had already suffered severely, so
that the companies would be
short OF their usual complement.
The column probably numbered
q little over 1000 men. On Sun

til the mules carrying extra infan-
try ammunition were stampeded

The battery mules soon followed
with the whole gun equipment.
The gallantry OF the troops
was superb. At once they fixed
bayonets and seized the neigh
boring hill. There they were oc-
cupied till dawn constructing de
fenses. There was little molesta-
ton OF them till 0:3o O'Clock,
when the enemy received strong
reinforcements and pressed terri
bly,. At 3 o'clock the brave band
found their ammunition at an
end, and the position was capitu-
lated. Each man generally carries
100 rounds, SO it may be sure that
the attacking force paid dearly for
its success. 1t is due to the Beers
to remember that they treated the
wounded with humanity, and

Scientific Aids.

With view to encouraging grad
yates of colleges receiving aid from
the United States to pursue pOst-grad-
uate studies relating to agriculture,
the Secretary of Agriculture has adj
dressed the following letter to the
presidents of all agricultural colleges:
Dear Sir: In my annual report to
the President for 1898 | announced my
intention of affording opportunities
for graduates of agricultural colleges
to pursue postgraduate studies i'm con-
nection with work in the scientific di-
visions of this Department as far as
practicable In pursuance OF this pol
icy l have made an arrangement with
the Civil Service Commission for the
registra ton of the graduates of col
leges receiving the benefits of grants
of land or money from the United
States. who may desire to enter the
service of the Department as "scien-
tific aids'' on the terms stated in the
nothfce of the Commission herewith
inclosed.
1t seems to me entirely appropriate
that the National Government should
aid the institutions to which it has al
ready so largely given financial sup
port in the preparation of their grad
yates for posts of usefulness in this
Department OF in the States from
which they come, especially as inves-
tigators and teachers along scientific
lines. l hope, therefore, that the effort
which | ann now making i'm this di-
rection will be but beginning of the
opening up of opportunities for grad
uate study at the National Capital to
those of your graduates who are es-
pecially fitted to do higih-grade scien-
tific work. 1t will of course be under
stood that under present conditions
the Department can admit only very
limited number of scientific aids. Our
purpose is TO choose from the eligible
register those persons who furnish the
best evidence of having peculiarly
