ENGLAND IS STIRRED.



Greater thsa Methuen's.
London, Dec. 17.-Gen. Buffers
casualties ct Colenso are reported
at eighty-two killed. 667 wounded
and 348 missing. His loss in Of
GERS was seven killed, forty-one
wounded and seventeen missing.
Several Of the wounded have since
died from their wounds.
These CHASTITY figures, given out
by the war department after mid
night. caused dismay among those
aware of the news. Buller's loss
is even greater than Lord Me-
thuen's at Magersfontein. The
regiments suffering most were the
royal field artillery, the Dublin
fusileers and the Devonshire regi-
ment.
The defeat of Gen. Butler has
centered the storm of indignation
that has been growing for two
weeks upon the ministry and the
clamor against Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain and the Marquis OF
Lansdowne, the war minister, is
fierce and determined.
They are the scapegoats upon
whom the wrath of the natior
falls. Chamberlain is especially
the object of vindictive invective
since it was his policy that caused
the war. Lansdowne is secon(
only to Chamberlain in this de
nunciation. because of his sloth il
putting in the field troops suffi
cient to nip the war in the bud.
| Cape Colony is in a ferment, an,
Boer reports say that 5000 Britisl
colonial troops have joined tn
Beers.
| Sir Alfred Miner urges permits
sion to declare martial law in tn
colony and this will probably b
| granted as the situation there i
very serious.
1t is learned that the cabinet de
cided to send a tremendous force t.
South Africa at once and to cal
out every man capable of bearinl
arms, if necessary to preserve tn
integrity of the empire.
The navy is to be made read
and supplied with ammunitiol
ready for anything that nigh
happen.
The anger and resentment of tn
nation was reflected in the stoc,
exchange today. There was
panicky feeling that resulted in
drop of point in consols at th
opening, while African mine
plunged downward from ] to
points.
The apparently indefinite contir
uance of war threatens a scarcit
of gold, the effects of which wi
be extremely serious.
In anticipation of this state {
affairs the Bank of England, whic
tis supplying the government wit
gold for war purposes, while il
one source of bullion supply, IL
Transyaal, is cut off, expects to S,
cure $35, 100000 from Austral
and 800, 900, 900 from the Unite
States.

THE NATION is SERENE.


London, Dec. 18.-Beyond a
partial list and summary Of the
totals of the casualties in the Tu-
gela river engagement posted at
about midnight the war Office pro-
fesses not to have any news from
the seat of war, while the censor.
ship evidently blocks other chan
nels of information.
Never within the range of the
longest memory has Great Britain
met with three such military re-
verses in single week. and hence
it is not surprising that notes of
anxiety should be heard amid the
general chorus of press expressions
of grim philosophy and resigna-
tiUn.
Mr.. Asquith's speech at New
castle last evening fairly expresses
the moderate average of opinion.
A more radical view which, how
ever, has few open followers, was
echoed by Sir Wilfrid Lawson, in
an address to the liberals of Car
lisle. He accused the government,
after bringing the country to the
verge of war, with Russia, Ger
many and France, of having
plunged it into war in South Africa,
through incompetent diplomacy.
He thought the people should in
sist upon the government stating
its terms so that everybody might
see what it was fighting fer. The
Sunday papers mostly follow the
lead Of yesterday morning and af-
ternoon journals in their comments
on the situation.
AT the army and navy and other
clubs the general impression pre-
walls that the check is only tempo
rary. The government view is
probably voiced by Rt. Hon. Walter
Long, president of the board oi
agriculture. who, speaking at the
ship brokers' dinner. in Liverpool
last evening, intimated that the
cabinet committee on national de-
fense had considered the advisable
, ity of utilizing the militia and vol
; unteers for service abroad. HI
emphatically asserted that the gov
ernment in no way attempted to
, interfere with the generals in theil
military operations. Some say tina
another 100, 600 troops are wantet
2 and declared Mr.. Long, if the gov
, ernment does not purpose to sent
, them, it will be wanting in its dut!
5 to the country. For his own part
. Mr.. Long said, he failed to SCI
that the necessity had arisen, bu
a if it does arise, the 100, 900 will b.

There was tremendous yelling and a great expen Iiture of cartridges by the rebels, but with little result.

 Has Declared for Peace.
THERE WAS NO QUORUM,
The Insurgents Filled Wiih New Wine and OrafOrY Made Brave but Im Advised Attack on San FernaHdo-The Philippines Com mission Engaged on Plans Of Government.

Manila, May 10, D. m--Reports re- ceived frcm the insurgent line, which, however. have not been confirmed, say that a meeting of the Filipino con- gress has been held at San Isidro. There was nosquorum present, but in spite of this fact some business was transacted. The reports add that all though those who attended were most ly partisans Of Aguinaldi-, a strong de- sire for peace was expressed. MajCr-General Macarthur will prob ably remain at San Fernando until fresh troops can be forwarded to him from this city to replace some of the volunteers who have become exhaust ed frcm the lcng campaign. Filipino riflemen to the number of S,444 are entrenched on three sides of BacolOr- The Americans, however, are fully able to hold the city if Mondays attack was a specimen of the enemy's fight ing ability.
 The United States Philippine com mission has been considering the pro vincia1 constitution for the island of Negros, which was framed by Col. Smith and the leading natives. It is large.y modeled after the constitution of California. While it has many good points, the commission will probably recommend a uniform government fer all the provinces. This constitution, it is intended, will give the natives self government, cooperating with military regime.
