LONDON. Dec. 10. 1a:H Z. m.-The war
ONCE has received dispatch announcing
that Gen. Butler has met with q serious re-
verse. losing ten guns.
Gen. Butler was attempting to cross the
Tugela river. Finding 1t impossible to ef.
feet his object, he ordered retirement in
order to avoid greater losses. He left elev-
en- guns behind.

The following 10 the text Of Gen. Buffers

my intention was to force one or the

enemy, who suddenly opened CALLING fire
at close range, killing ali the horses. and
the gunners were compelled to stand to
their guns. Some of the wagon teams got
shelter for troops in a donga, and desper-
ate efforts were being made to bring on
the field guns.
Gallant Attempts to save Gums.
ssThe fire. however. was too severe ana
only two were saved by Capt Schoifield
and some drivers whose names win fur

Another most gallant attempt with
three teams was made by an officer,

several ,drivers were wounded, would
not allow another attempt. as It seemed
that they would be shell mark, sacrif1c-

fident belief that he was taking such time
and precautions as would insure success.
News Has Not Spread Yet.
No Independent reports OF the engage
ment have yet been allowed to come
through, but Gen Buffers own dispatch
tells the sad tale In sufficient outline to
show that the Britisch have been en-
trapped again by the astute Beers. 1t was
not anticipated that Gen. Butler would
make frontal. attack. No criticisms Of
his movements are made. however. since
apparently he suffered repulse rather
than q defeat. and did not push the attack
home, but broke It off in the middle 30
as to save a useless sacrifice Of life.
n Expected to Renew the Fight. !.
II is expected that he WIN renew the
attack shortly. Immediately on receiving
the news the war officials decided to mo-
bilize stiil another division ana to replace
the losses OF artillery The necessary re-
Inducements will be hurried off az speedily
as possible.
Fifteen transports are due to arrive at
Cape Town between December II and
january with about 1900 troops Of all
arms. but unless Gen. Butler Is able to
renew the attack, which is exceedingly
doubtful. the British generals viii be COM
PEELED for another fortnight or more to
remain on the defensive.

SAME FAMILIAR STORY.
London Papers Complain That the
Generals Seem to All Fall
Into the Same Trap.

LONDON Papers C0mploan VnoS tuO
Generals Seem to All Fall
Into the Same Trap. =
LONDON, Dec. 16, 4:so a. m.-The news
OF Gen. Buffers reverse was received so
late that many newspaper comments to-
day are confined to perfunctory express
sions Of extreme regret and disappoint-
ment. and of the necessity of calmness
and redoubled efforts to retrieve the po-
sition. This latest check is regarded AZ
the most serious event in Great Britain's
military history since the Indian .mutiny.
The Standard says:
'.Gen. Buffers dispatch Is deplorable
reading. 1t is the now familiar story OF
concealed Beers and OF British troops
marching up blindly almost to the very
muzxles of the enemy's rifles. 1t cannot
be doubted that the moral effect will be
to aggravate our difiiculties over the
whole field of operations.
'.The country has discovered with
annoyance and surprise that subduing
Boer farmers Is about the hardest work
we have entered upon since the Indian
mutiny. Their commandants have shown
themselves able to give our generals use
full but expensive lessons in modern tac-
tics.
Buller's Advance Paralyxed.
The Times says: ''Since the day Of the
Indian mutiny the nation has not been
confronted with so painful and anxious q
situation Plainly Gen. Buffers advance
ID paralyzed for the moment as completely
an Lord Methuen's and Gen. Gatacre's."
The depression over the defeat Of Great
Britain.s trusted and idoifxed commander
is ali the greater as. during the last 4s
hours, there had been reports Of the re-
lief OF Ladysmith. Yesterday the war
once allowed It to be understood that the
position Of affairs in Natal was entirely
satisfactory. The reaction is all the more
pronounced on this account.
The gloomy information came too late to
reach the. service clubs and only few
Journalists and stragglers were waiting
at the war office. 1t had hardly been
realized until now, even after the expert
ence Of the week, that Gen. Butler could
fail.
Virtually nothing had been allowed to
leak through regarding his preparations,
but the public waited patiently in the con-

ed men under Lord Dundonaid and part
Of Gen. Barton's brigade.
''The day was intensely hot and most
trying on the troops. whose conduct was
excellent. We have abandoned ten guns
and lost by shell fire one. The losses in
Gen. Iiart's brigade are. I fear. very
heavy, although the proportion of Sc
verely wounded, hope Is not large. The
Fourteenth and Sixty-ninth field batter
les also suffered severe losses. We have
retired to our camp at Chieveley."
