GEN. GATAcRE,s RETREAT.
Promised Additional Reports of the Dis
aster to the British Arms Not
Yet Received.

| London, Dec. 12. 4:40 a. m.-No fur
ther news has been received to remove
the mystery overhanging Gen. Cat.
acres mysterious retreat from Storm

promised additional message, and the
censorship has prevented the cerre-

While it appears to be generally adj

bad taste
Stronger Position Than Laing's Mex
Stormberg is described as strong
er position than Laing's Mex. The only
road winds through lofty hills, and
fanking is impossible. Colesburg IS
also said to be an almost lmpregnable
position, and as no troops are availa-
ble to reinforce the columns acting in
those directions, it becomes evident
that Gen. Gatacre's misfortune or error
will delay the invasion of the Free
State, perhaps some weeks. 1t Is eN-
ceedingly probable that he will oe'
compelled to retire on Queenstown,
and to wait for reinforcements. when
can hardly reach him until Sir Charles
Warren's division arrives at the cape.
The first detachments will sail Satur-
day next. Even if Gen. French is not
compelled to retreat he will be ob1ged
to pause in his advance.
1t now seems certain that the Sew
enth division, which is being mobilized
at Aldershot, will also be sent To South
Africa.

firming the Bocr report of the capture
of 80 prisoners at Modder River trom
