by catarrh. Very few people, indeed,

Ioudon. December ia "a a. m.-it is
hardly too much to regsrd Gen.
Gatsore's rspulse near Stormburg as tbs
most serious defeat British arms have
vet sustained in the whole campaign. Al
ready the official advices show that Two
men were killed, nine officers and IL men
were wounded and nine officers and 90
men are missing. But 1t Is evident that
the worst is not yet known.
The proportion Of wounded and killed
is SO small when compared with the miss
ing-who are undoubtedly prisoners In
the hands Of the Boers-that the supple
mentary list Of casualties II awaited
with serious m'sgivings.
II is also feared that there were serious
losses Of guns and equipment. The most
ssrious aspect Of the affair is the eject
it is likely to have on the Dutch In Cape
Colony, who have been wavering % to
whether to throw In their lot with the
Eoers. Hosts Of the Northern farmers are
now likely to join the rebellion. The defeat
Is also serious because II will delay the
junction Of Gen. Gatacre with zen.
French at Naauwpoort. The plan was
for their com bined forces to relieve the
pressure ON Lord Methuen's column.
The disclosure of such a strong force at
Stormburg was quite unexpected. Doubt
less Gen. Gatacrs was the victim OF
treaoherous guides. But the results point
also to the al ssnce Of proper cavalry
scouting.
The British troops who recently occu-
pisd Arundel are advancing. They have
had several skirmishes, but no casualties
Three miles north Of Arundel tney found
the Beers 5000 strong.
The Pretoria reports Of renewed fight
ing at Modder river originated from the
fact that the British with team OF az
oxen, hauled q naval gun to the top OF
high ridge north Of Modder river town,
whence they fired lyddite shells on the
Boer position at n range Of goo yards
