During the past week the complexion

London, Dec. 11.-Later details re-
garding the defeat of Gen. Gatacre'5
column show that but for the magnifi-
cent work Of the British artillery, the
disaster would have been far more eX-
tcnsive. as the inccsSant Boer shell fire
in the midst Of the rcpulSed infantry
ultimately led to disaster. which only
escaped developing into rout through
the batteries Of artillery occupying
successive positions. covering the re-
treat. thus drawing portion of the
Beers calling fire.
Apparently the British We're set at

ously guided. After trying march

sition. where the hill was impregnable
and the burEhcrs Wer" estimated to
number G0OO men, instead Of $500, as the
spies had reported.
There is little in the store to mitigate
the intense humiliation oCcasioned by
The episode. which is almost an exact
counterpart of the battle at Nichol-
sons mex.
The war office is besciGcd with anX-
ious relatives. and the successive edi-
tons Of the newspapers are eagerly
scanned. Men and women are equally
persistent in pleading for information,
but the authorities either do not pos
sess any or have not published it up to
the present.
The affair has caused the most de-
pressing influence everywhere. not ex-
cepting the Stock Exchange, where
consols We're at the lowest price in
many years and South African securi-
ties slumped, not so much on account
Of the military reverse. which is re-
trievable. but owing to the profound
apprehension as to its political effect.
No great surprise would now be felt
if Gen. Gatacre's reverse resulted in
Cape Colony becoming aname from end
to end.
The afternoon newspapers. like the
morning newspapers, withhold the APP
portionment of blame until they are
further acquainted with the facts and
take the reverse philosophically.
The Pall-Mall Gazette remarks: 1.-THE
country's calm will again surprise the

London, Dec. 12-440 A. Mo
further news has been received toremove
the mystery of Gen. Gatacre's retreat
from Stormberg. He has not yet forward
ed the promised additional messages and
the censorship has prevented the cor
respondents from explaining the mat
ter. While it appears to be generally
admitted that Gen. Gatacre is inclined
to overwork his men. Lord Durham's
remarks are considered as in rather
bad taste. Until Gen. Gatacre has
given his explanation, it is felt that
considerable allowance must be made
for the extreme difficulty Of getting in
