A BI.Ow.
While Expecting Minor Reverses.
BritOns Appalled, at the News.

London, Nov. 1.-While minor re-
verses were not wholly unexpected.
nothing like the staggering blow Gen.
Joubert delivered to Gen. Whites
forces, Monday. was anticipated. The
full extent of the disaster is not vet
acknowledged. if it is known at the
war Office. The loss in effective men
must be appalling to a general who is
practically surrounded.
Two of the Finest Regiments.
Two of the finest British and a full
battery deducted from the Ladvsmith
garrison weakens il about a fifth of lis
tCfa! strength. and alters the whole
situation very materially in favor of
the I'Cers.who have again shown them
selves stern fighters and military stra-
tcgists of no mean order. The dis
astCr cost the British from 1.5OO to p
coo men. and six !-pound guns. and as
the Eoer artillery is already stronger
than imagined. the capture of these
guns will be a great help to the Beers.
Further Sews Awaited.
Further news must be awaited be-
fore il is attempted to fix the blame
where it belongs. Gen. White manful-
ly accepts all the responsibility for the
disaster. which. apparently, was at
least partially due TO the stampeding
OF the mules with the guns.
From the list it will be seen that A.
officers were made prisoners. besides
a newspaper correspondent, j. Hyde.
A Feeling Akin to CONSERVATION.
The disaster has caused a feeling
akin to CONSERVATION, and in Glouces-
tershire and the north of Ireland,
wnere the captured regiments were re-
CT uited, the blacklist gloom prevails,
families awaiting with beating hearts
the names of the killed and wounded,
which are fully expected to reach q
high figures. Many homes are already
in mourning in consequence Of losses
sustained by these regiments in previ-
GUS engagements.
Public Anxiety Increased.
Public anxiety was increased by a
special dispatch from Ladysmith, pub
lislied in the late editions of the Lon
don Afternoon to the effect that be-
fore darkness Monday the Beers re-
occupied the old position held by their
heavy artillery, which Gen. White had
reported silenced by the guns of the
naval brigade from the Powerful, and
had opened fire again.
