LONDON. Oct. 26.-Gen. Sir George
Stewart White reported to the War Office
yesterday that the forces sent By him to the
relief of General Yule had a severe engage
ment with the Beers, resulting in loss Of
thirteen killed, ninety-three wounded and
three missing The War Office returns now
show that the total British casualties since
the beginning OF hostilities reach 597,
eighteen officers having been killed and
fifty-five wounded. and seventy-six men
killed and 425 wounded. There are thirteen
unaccounted for. This total, however, does
not include the squadron of the Eighteenth
Hussars. which went astray near Dundee,
and the officers OF the Dublin F'usileers The
report of heavy losses sent from Riefontein
came as an unpleasant surprise, as General
Whites telegram to the War Office yester-
day gave the impression that there was
merely brush.
The War Office last evening made public
the following dispatch sent by General
White from Ladysmith at $50 in the after
noon:
1.-The advance guard OF the forces sent out
by me this morning to get in touch with
and help General Yule's column was within
three miles of that column, which had tenn
porarily halted at Sunday River about noon.
I have occupied all the strong positions on
the road to Ladysmith and have no further
anxiety about them. I have received from
Lieutenant Kenrick, signaling officer of the
Queens Regiment, who had ridden in, and
also from Colonel Dartnell. of the Natal
police, who accompanied the column, the
best account of the spirits and efficiency of
the troops. who are very anxious to meet
the enemy again.
Later in the evening the War Office issued
the following. based on further advices
from General White and sent from Rietfon-
tein:
There IS nothing to add to General
Whites description of to-day's engagement

MIR. HEATH'S SUGGESTIONS
Annual Report of the First Assfstan
Postmaster General.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-F1rst Assistant
Postmaster General Perry s. Heath, in his
forthcoming annual report, will recommend
that Congress shall fix the salaries of as
sistant postmasters at so per centum of
that Of poStmasterS; that poStOffice clerks
shall be classified on the same basis as let
ter carriers and railway postal clerks; that
the postoffice appointments shall be made
interchangeable; that the unexpended bal
ance OF one appropriation may be trans
ferred to other appropriations and that
where consolidation Of postoffices is deemed
advisable, and same may be effected under
existing law. the money saved thereby be
made available for clerk hire and other ex-
penses at the newly offices. The
department again urges the special atten-
ton of Congress to the necessity for a re-
classification of clerks in first and second
class postoffices. The department will also
ask for a substantial increase for additional
clerks, also for the payment of substitutes
for clerks on vacation in the smaller Offices
and material increase in the appropriation
for temporary clerks at summer resorts

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Maj. b. q.
Rathbone. of Hamilton, o.. who has many
warm friends across the Ohio line In In
diana, arrived in Washington tonight. Maj.
Rathbone. it will be recalled, was the fourth
assistant postmaster general under the ad-
ministration of President Harrison. When
the United States assumed control OF postal
affairs in Cuba First Assistant Postmaster
General Heath cast about him for some one
who had acquired sufficient knowledge of the
postal business in the United States to sue
cessfully graft our methods upon the OBJ
solete system of the Spanish government
found in vogue when the United States took
possession, and bring order out Of the exist
ent chaos. Major Rathbone was chosen and
as director Of the posts of Cuba he has
worked marvels. 1t will really require col
umns to even attempt to describe the ex-
ecutive ability Of Mr.. Rathbone. which has
in few short months so systematized the
postal business of a greater portion Of Cuba
that at present it is working almost as
smoothly as it progresses in any State with
in the United States
Director of Posts Rathbone will return to
his old home in Hamilton and remain there
take an active part In the campaign. He
comes to the United States chiefly to consult
with the postmaster general on postal af-
fairs in Cuba, but incidentally he will go out
to Ohio to cast his ballot. Mr.. Rathbone
the postal service Of Cuba, which was in
a very bad condition, has been thoroughly
reorganized. Among the new features in
troduced are the registry and money order
divisions, both Of which have been in sue
cessful operation since April. 1.-THE bankers
and merchants Of Cuba" said Mr.. Rath-
bone, nov send remittances averaging at
least $4,000 a day, and there has been
sent to the United States alone over $500,
900 in remittances. Both Spaniards and
Cubans give evidence of the utmost conf
dence in the money order department. We
have now introduced the two-cent stamp
and as a consequence the bulk Of inland
correspondence has greatly increased. OF
the go clerks employed on the island by
the Postoffice Department fully 500 are Gu
bans and am hiring Americans only where
absolutely necessary. this being the policy
Of the administration.

three countries are the great gold produc-
ers Of the world-their output aggregating

leaving per cent. to the remainder of the
world.
The United States still occupies the second
place as a silver producer, to which II was
relegated by Mexico I'm 1897. In 1895 ii pro-
duced 4,4Ss0o0 fine ounces OF silver with a
commercial value of So. lis. 400. against the
Mexican production of 56, T3s 600 fine ounces.
with a commercial value of $33. 475.4 400. To-
gether, they produce 81 per cent. of the
worlds product. No other country ap-
proaches them, the nearest being Austria
lasia, Bolivia and Peru. The product Of the
last two is somewhat uncertain, but none
of the three exceeds 100000 ounces fine.
The amount of silver produced in the United
States during the year from quartz mines
was, in round numbers. 13.50oooo ounces, and
from lead ores, 100000 fine ounces, and
from copper ores 10,Ooooo fine ounces.
The worlds gold production in 1898 was
13, ,9o4, 1863 ounces fine, of the value of $751;
42S, 600; an increase over the product Of 1897
of 235l S31 ounces, valued at s4S, Gle. GOO.
Since 1887, when about s1o6 100000 were pro-
duced, each year has shown an increase
over the preceding one. There is no reason.
the report says, to expect any cessation OF
this steady annual increase for some years
to come The Transvaal has not nearly
reached its limit: Australasia. particularly
West Australia, is not yet half developed;
Alaska and the Yukon have only fairly be-
gun to produce, while the recent steady in
creases in Colorado and other Western
States shows no signs Of abating.
The worlds production of silver in 1895
was 165, 295572 ounces fine, showing an in
crease over 1897 of / 222, 400 ounces fine.
