A STAGGERING BLOW.
While Expecting Minor Reverses,
Britons Appalled, at the News.

While Expecting Minor Reverses,
Britons Appalled, at the News.
London, Nov. 1.-While minor re-
verses were not wholly unexpected,
nothing like. the staggering blow Gen.
Joubert delivered to Gen. Whites
forces, Monday, was anticipated. The
full extent of the disaster is not yet
acknowledged, If it is known at The
war Office. The loss in effective men
must be appalling to a general who is
practically surrounded.
Two of the Finest Regiments.
Two of the finest British and full
battery deducted from the Ladysmith
total strength, and alters the whole
situation very materially in favor OF
the Beers, who have again shown them
selves stern fighters and military stra-
tegists of no mean order. The dis
aster cost the British from 1900 to g.
600 men, and six 7-pound guns, and as
the Boer artillery is already stronger
ithan imagined, the capture of these
gum will be great help to the Beers.
Further News Awaited.
Further news must be awaited be-
fore il is attempted TO fix the blame
where IL belongs. Gen. White manfnl-
ly accepts all the responsibility for the
disaster, which, apparently, was at
least partially due to the stampeding
Of the mules with the guns.
From the list it will be seen that A.
officers were made prisoners. besides
a newspaper correspondent, j. Hyde.
A Feeling Akin to Consideration.
The disaster has caused a feeling
akin to CONSERVATION, and in Glouces-
teTshire and the north of Ireland,
where the captured regiments were re-
ciuited, the blacklist gloom prevails,
families awaiting with beating hearts
the names of the killed and wounded,
which are fully expected TO reach
high figures. Many homes are already
In mourning in consequence of losses
sustained by these regiments in previ-
GUS engagements.
Public Anxiety Increased.
Public anxiety was increased by a
special dispatch from Ladysmith, pub
lished in the late editions of the Lon
don Afternoon to the effect that be-
fore darkness Monday the Beers re-
occupied the old position held by their
heavy artillery, which Gen. White had
reported silenced by the guns of the
naval brigade from the Powerful, and
had opened fire again.
The dispatch further says:
A Grave situation.
"The enemy are again closing in,
and the situation is one of grave anxi-
ETY.. Beyond doubt the Boer retire
ment Monday was a ruse to draw Con.

Senator McEnery is after the Post
Office Department for the uncalled for
discontiuuance of the river mail. The
Senator goes SO far as TO say that it
waa done ia the interest of the star
route crowd, who almost cou.rol the
department. 1t was too little thing
for The department TO tsmper with aud
to discontinue such an important route
as this was to the business interests OF
those living on the Mississippi river
and who depend on il for quick deliv-
cry of business letters, looks rather
bad for the p. O. Department.
