REAVY BRITISH LOSS.
ROBERTS REPORTS FIFTY OFF.
GERS KILLED OR WOUNDED.
Invasion of the Orange Free State Is
Sharply Contested, and Burxhers Are
Still in Fighting Trim-BOer Siege of
Ladysmith Not Abandoned.

The idea prevalent in London that the
Beers were demoralized and in a condi-
tion of panic was dispelled by the publi-
cation of n serious casualty list from
Gen. Lord Roberts, without any eNplana-
tion of how or where the losses were
incurred. Gen. Roberts previous dis
patch, so far as it was published by the
war office, gave the impression that the
Beers were in full retreat, making hard
ly any resistance, and aroused the expec-
tation that the next tidings would an
nouncc the surrender of Commandant
Cronje's army. Then came the news that
nearly fifty British officers, including two
prominent generals, had been killed or
wounded, while the losses of the rank and
file were not mentioned. There eau be
no doubt that the British invasion Of the
Orange Free State is being sharply con-
tested, and that the Federal forces are
Still in vigorous fighting trim.
The news from Gen. Buffers campaign
is favorable as far is it goes, but the per-
sistent report that Ladysmith had been
relieved proves TO have been premature.
The Tugela river was crossed for the
fourth time by the British Wednesday,
but il would be almost absurd to assume
that the retirement of the Beers from
this point before the British advance in
dicates an intention to abandon the siege
of Ladysmith and the possession of terri
tory in Natal. In other words, the crisis
is not yet passed, according to the infor-
nation at present received, and all de-
pends, not on Gen. Buffers campaign,
which is now side issue, but on Gen.
Roberts great dash at the Free State
capital.
One of the costliest actions of the war
occurred at Paadeberg drift Sunday,
Feb. IS. Gen. Kelly-Kenny, in his pur-
suit of Gen. Cronje, caught the latter's
rear guard at Kip drift and followed the
burghers TO the Beers laager at koo-
doosrand. The drift action began at day

a conference Of several hours Wednesday
afternoon, reached an agreement as to
how the trouble is to be ended.
Mr.. Beckham is to withdraw his in
junction suit filed before Judge Cantrill.
He can if he desires file similar one in
Louisville. The injunction suits Of Tay-
lor and Marshall filed in Louisville are
to stand. All Of the suits are to be plac-
ed upon the ordinary docket. They are
to be consolidated. Both sides are to use
their best efforts to have them decided as
quickly as possible.
During the pendency Of the suits
Messrs. Marshall and Taylor retain their
respective Offices, giving supersedeas
bonds. An appeal to the Court Of Ap-
peals will not be opposed by either side.
That court will be asked for a writ Of
error to the Supreme Court, neither side
offering objection
