SUSPENSE IN LONDON.
Casualties In the Grns Pan Isnttle Anx-
iouyly Awaited.

Casualties In the Grns Pan Battle Anx-
iously Awaited.
LONDON. Nov. 27.-No further news
respecting Lord Methuen's advance has
been received and the absence of official
details regarding his losses at Gras Pan
creates the greatest suspense, especially
since the publication of the. heavy sac
rifices endured by the naval brigade
No alarm, however, is felt as to his
position, despite the evidence that the
Beers intend to contest every foot Of
the way. The fact that in the Gras
Pan action one British battery fired 500
rounds proves the desperate nature OF
the fight and there is no doubt the cas-
ualties were great.
1t is now developed no guns were cap
tured in the Belmont engagement.
Meanwhile the news from Natal is
distinctly more hopeful from the Brit
ish point of view. The details are
rather vague, but it seems certain that
the Beers are retiring, that railway
communication is being reopened and
that the British relief forces are join
ing hands.
Arsenal Employes Rushed.
The utmost activity prevails in get
ting war necessaries ready for the front.
Five thousand men worked all day Sun.
day at Woolwich arsenal preparing
stores. The arsenal employees, now
numbering $1,000, have been warned
that they need not expect holidays at
Christmastide.
Five hundred Beers attacked Kuru-
man, in Bechuanaland, on Nov. 13. The
fighting lasted almost continuously for
six days and nights, but the Beers were
finally beaten off with loss of 80 killed
and 20 wounded. The British lost one
killed and one wounded.
Despite the brighter outlook Tho
Times, in its review of the situation,
voices the anxiety felt and says:
THE activity the Beers display at
points separated by hundreds OF miles,
their ability to invest several towns,
, their readiness to offer battle at Bel
mont and again at Gras Pan, their
widespread operations south OF the
Orange river and their bold and often
sive action in Natal, seem to Indicate
mum bers far in excess of our estimates" "
This coming from the hitherto opti-
nistic Times is significant.

patients The Corregidor Hospital is used
for convalescents, and has been of very
great benefit in many cases. Patients re-
covering from typhoid and malarial fevers
have, as a rule, done well there, but those
suffering from dysentery and diarrhoea,
though improved, have rarely been cured.
The experience of the surgeons is that
rheumatic affections do not recover IN TINS
climate, and we usually find it necessary
to send these patients as we'll as severe
cases of dysentery and diarrhoea TO the
United States.
