LONDON, Feb. 2i.--The Beers are
leaving all the positions held by them
on British territory and are concen-
trating for the defense of their own.
Sir Redvers Butler thinks they are
about to raise the siege Of Ladysmith
and this IL the large news OF the day.
General Clements reports that the force
confronting him has been greatly d.
minished. Ten thousand men are o.
timatcd TO have gone from the Coles
berg district alone. The Beers are
also retracing their steps from Zulu.

hold on ali sides in order TO assemble

Serious Reverse.
LoNpoN, Feb, 22.--Lord Roberts's
list of forty mine killed and wounded
officers, including two generals, In tho
engagements up to Sunday evening,
causes anxiety, especially rs In the
officers list neither the losses of the
Welsh and Essex regiments nor those
of the mounted infantry are included.
This il about the number that fell at
Colenso, where the non commissioned
officers and men brought the total loss
TO 500 1t Is considered strange that
when sending his casualties, Lord Rob-
erts gives no information as to the
result of the fighting. Ifhe has sent
such report the war office Is with
holding It. Moreover, nothing Is
known rs to what took place Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday. This absence
of details from Lord Roberts's dis
patches, contrasted with his rather
full narratives during the first part Of
his operations, produces uneasin ess
among military observers.

HEAVY LOSSES.

Costlicst of tho War.
PAARpEpERa DRiFT, Orange Free
State, Feb. :2.--One of the costliest
actions of the war occurred at Paarde-
berg Drift Sunday, February Is. Gen.
eral Kelley Kenney, in his pursuit of
Cronje, caught his rear guard at Kip
Drift and followed the burghers to
Koodoostrand. The drift action began
Mt daybreak, the mounted infantry
driving the Boer rear guard up the
river towards tho main body, while
another body Of mounted infantry
manouvered on the right front and
flank of the Beers. The British main
body advanced TO out-fank the Boers'
laager on the north bank of the river.
Kelley. Kenney having seized two
drifts, found the Beers strongly en-
closed and ordered an attack, with the
Highland brigade on the left and
Knox's brigade on the center and right,
while General smith Dorrien's brigade
crossed the river and advanced along
the north bank. On both the
north aud south bank the ground is
level and the advance across this was
deadly and the British losses were
heavy. The battle was an exact replica
of Modder River. The soldiers were
under fire all day long and the lighting
had no definite result, rs tho Boer
laagers were barricaded and they re-
NAMED therein. The British shelled
the laager vigorously. The Beers con
fessed n loss of over 500. The terrific
Smelling was resumed Monday, when
Cronje asked for an armistice. The
Smelling continued Tuesday, over fifty
guns pouring lead into the Beers
camp.

, Discovery OF bteAu - y hehvs B0wes
In l543 a mechanic. who for many
years puzzled and experimental on the
subject. brought to the attention OF
Emperor Charles Fifth. Of Austria, an
invention by means OF which ships
could be propelled by steam. The
monarch was greatly impressed and
would no doubt have become the pat
ron OF this great invention. but one OF
his prime ministers, evidently jealous
of the attention the inventor was re-
oeiying. 80 worked upon the mind Of
the emperor that his interest In the
invention was quite destroyed. In 16il
a man was put into a mad house be-
cause he persistenly followed some OF
the great men Of his country about,
declaring that he had discovered a
new motive power that would revolu-
tionize the machinery Of the age. Many
countries and people have claimed to
be the discoveries OF steam as motive
power. but these accounts. which are
well authenticated, seem to settle the
question finally.

Deadly Shells of To-day.

The ordinary shell which was manu-
featured thirty years ago only broke
into from twenty TO twenty-five pieces
when II burst. At the present time It
bursts into $40. while shrapnel shell.
which only used to scatter thirty-seyen
missiles, now scatters $40. A present
day bomb, when charged with peroxy-
lene, breaks into 1900 pieces, and 1t Is
estimated that II would effectively kill
any one standing within 220 yards of
the explosion.

VIENNA, Feb. :2.--Strange rumor
are aHoat In Vienna, and still stranger
things are undoubtedly occurring.
Rumors point TO impending hostilities
between Bulgaria and Servia. There
is no doubt that both are massing
troops on their frontiers. 1t looks Inn
possible, however, that war should
occur, because neither country possesses
the necessary financial sinews, and
neither Russia nor Austria would sanc-
ton such nm outbreak.
