London (By Cable) The Rustenburg
arolumn, under Col. G. Benson, has met
with a serious reverse in the southeast
ern part of the Transvaal, in the area Of
Commandant General Botha's operations.
Colonel Benson and eight other Off
GETS were killed and 13 officers were
wounded. besides SO on-commissioned
officers and men killed and I56 wounded.
The war Office issued two dispatches
from General Kitchener, dated Pretoria,
November l, the first of which states
that severe attack was made on the
rear guard of Benson's column about 20
miles northeast of Bethel, near Braken-
laagte, during a thick mist. The strength
of the enemy is reported to have been
1000. They rushed two guns with the
rear guard, but it is uncertain whether
they were able to remove them.
The second dispatch contains q re-
port made by Colonel Barter, who was
sent from the constabulary line on
Thursday to relieve Colonel Benson
when the disaster was first reported.
He reached the column early Friday
morning without meeting with opposi-
lion.
He found Colonel Benson had died
-pf his wounds and that Lieutenant Colo
mel Guinness, one major, three captains
and three lieutenants had been killed and
three captains and ten lieutenants
wounded.
The other casualties were as stated
above
Colonel Barber says that the fighting
with the rear guard was at very close
quarters and was maintained with great
determination by both sides.
The Beers suffered severely, but no
reliable estimate of their losses has yet
been received. The Beers retired to the
east. General Kitchener adds:
Il assume the two guns were recov-
cred and that the enemy has withdrawn,
but there are no further details. l deep

White House Receptions.

{. Cortelyou, states that there will he no
change in the traditional programme for
the New Year reception. The statement
in some Of the dispatches that the Presi-
dent refused to meet the public because
of fear of assassination is especially dis
tasteful, AT the New Year reception
the usual time allotted to greet the gen
eral public will be included in the pro-
gramrne. The fact that the Presidcn,
almost daily takes exercise upon the
thoroughfares of Washington, that lie
goes to church every Sunday unattended
by guards and other indications prove
that President Roosevelt has not lost
trust in the patriotism and devotion Of
the people
