British Casualties There Numbered Over
-Four Hundred.
LONDON, Dec. 4.-As surmised, the
British dead and wounded at the hard
fought battle Of Modder river. number
hundreds. Up to . o'clock p. nj. only
the bare total, 43S, Of which number 73
were killed, had been given out. So it
is impossible to deduct from "the
butchers bill" such information regard
ing the nature Of the fight as details Of
the losses of the different units gener-
ally indicate.
From General Forester Walkers
dispatch it is proved that all reports OF
General Methuen's advance after the
battle of Modder river were premature,
though, with the railroad working he
should not be long in constructing a
temporary bridge. His enforced delay,
doubtless, will be of considerable serv'
Ire in giving his nard pushed column
uccdful rest, and in allowing the arrival
Of relnforcements, OF which he must be
sorely in need, after three such fights,
placing hors du combat upwards OF a
thousand men out Of less than 1000.

other reinforcements have been pushed

thuen's line of communications, has re-
lieved much anxiety here, where 1T was
fully expected the Beers would attempt
to attack the vulnerable points of the
line of communication.

LONDON, Dec. 4.-The week opens
| without q word of news such as the
British public is so snxiously awaiting.
With larger army in the field than
the country has ever before modified
it can be said that the loss of $500 men
entailed before the enemy's borders
have been crossed is q serious matter
and, while there is no feeling of de-
spondency as to tho eventual result of
the war, it is regretfully admitted on
all sides that the strength Of the Boer
resistance has been woefully under
rated.
It is now seen that the attempt to
hold useless position at Mafeking was
a serious mistake, as also was the en-
deavor to keep the large civil popula-
ton in Kimberley.
Perhaps the brightest spot for Eng
lish readers is the announcement that
President Mckinley has designated the
son of Secretary Hay to succeed Mr..
Macrum in Pretoria.
African News . Week Old.
South African news is now six days
in arrears. The censorship does not yet
permit details of the Modder river bat
tie to be transmitted. Some vague
statements have been published in the
Cape Town papers, and according to
thosesthe Beers numbered 5000 men,
and were entrenched on both banks Of
the stream, although mostly on the
northern bank. The British, according
to those accounts, drove the enemy
across the river, compelling them to re-
| treat and establish themselves on both
banks. These details, however, are too
meager to enable an accurate idea of
the engagement to be formed.
Serious news comes from the north
ern sections of Cape Colony. The
whole border district between Coles
berg and Burghersdorp has been de-
clared for the Beers. In Venterstad
alone more than 1000 have joined the
rebellion. The farmers have formed a
communicating company and talk con-
fdently of triumphal march on Cape
Town.

is still doubtful whether this bridge
over the Tugeia at Colenso has been

tempting to destroy it, but the proba-

and fred afterward. According to the
dispatch from Pitters xraal, dated

WIN "oT <OSuAAShODs
LONDON, Dec. 4.-The utterances of
cabinet ministers and others op the
subject Of the suggested Anglo-Amer-
ican- Teutonic alliance have distracted
public attention to some degree from
the list of casualties that marks Brit
ish progress in South Africa. But the
glowing insinuatlons of triumphs Of
British diplomacy cannot stem the
growing tide of private sorrow that
manifests itself with the ever increas-
ing prevalence Of crepe and the absence,

though tho moro conservative papers,
such as The Times, point out that q
sympathetic alliance with the United
States is an easy matter compared with
one with Germany on account Of the
difference in race and language. While
it is not actually so stated, the pslpable
deduction has evidently occurred to the
writer's on this topic that the United
States is far more fitted, from racial
and other conditions, to ally herself
with Germany than is Great Britain.

BEGINNING OF A
STRUGGLE OF PARTIES

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-A Journal
cable from Berlin says: Asked his
views on the present situation in
France, Prince Bismarck replied: The
Dreyfus trial is the beginning of
struggle of parties. AS a nation,
France may recover from her present
sickness after a time, and so may
Spain from her seething discomfort and
bankruptcy because Spain is also a
rich country, with fertile soil and
splendid mineral wealth, which only
need development. But the Latin races
are doomed unless they are liberated
from the medieval clergy. Look at the
condition of Belgium, where the cleri-
cal party is bound to cave in, the Flem-
ish being victorious. The general mill
tary service as forecasted by General
Brialmont will be introduced and no
mistake.
Italy presents a miserable state of
affairs, approaching bankruptcy. Tax
alton is pushed to the uttermost, while
workmen during the summer only earn
two lires daily. Only 100000 out of
g, ,00O, 900 earn over $50 lires annually.
A million and a half of people subsist
upon aims. The condition there is de-
plorable The situation in Austria
Hungary is much better, but the bull
wark of Austria being the army, which
is commanded and ever will be by Ger
mans, the unrest of the Balkans
amounts to nothing so long as Russia
has no other irons in the fire"

a force of policemen on foot, mounted
gendarmes and a swarm of detectives,
who closed the streets in the vicinity,
although there was not the slightest
sign of disorder.
Cards of admission to the trial were
issued this afternoon to the representa-
tives of the press. Every two foreign
correspondents, without exception, re-
ceived one card between them, which
means that the leading papers of the
