A REVERSE AT sToRMBERG,


London. Drc. n. 4:t5 a. init Is
hardly too much tn regard Gen. Cat
scre's rcpulsc near S,nrmhrrC nE the
most serious defeat the British arnh
have set sustained Ia the whole cam.
paign. Already the official ad,iccs
show that two men were Killed, nine
uGicegB and II men wounded and nine
officers and SOC men are missing. But
II ~ evident that the worst H. not yet
known The proportion ~ wnunde'!
aud Killed IL 80 small when compared
with the missing who are uudouhted.
J., prisoners ~ the hands Of the i'nrrs
that the supplementary list of cas-
aultrrs Is waited with serious misgiy-
iigs,
It is also feared that there were scri-
Uus losses Of gums and equipment.
The most serious aspect Of the affair
il the effect IL Is likely tn have ON the
Dutch In Cape Colony who have becn
wnvcring as To whether to throw In
their lot with the Beers. Hosts of the
northern farmers are now likely 10
join the rebellion.
Defeat Is nuw Also serious because Il
will delay the junction Of Gen. Gat1crc
with Gen. French at Naauwpoort. The
plan was for their combined forces TO
relieve the pressure ON Lord Mcthucn's
column
The disclosure of such strong force
AZ Stormbrrg was quite unexpected.
Doubtless Gen. Gntncre was the victim
o; trcnchcrous guides. But the result
points also TO the absence of proper
cavalry scouting.
The British troops who recently oc-
eupicd Arundel nre advancing. They
have had several skirmishcs, but no
casualties. Three miles north of Arun-
del they found the Beers 1000 strong.
The Pretoria reports of renewed
fighting at Moddcr River originated
from the fact that the British. with n
team of % oxen, hauled a naval gun TO
the top OF high ridge north Of Mod.
der River town, whence they fired lyl.
lite shells.
