SEVERE BRITISH DEFEAT.
Beers Capture English Post at Hell
vetia killing Fifty and Captur-
ing Two Hundred.

London. Dec: 31.-The war Office has
received the following dispatch from
Lord Kitchener:
Pretoria, Dec. 3o-Gen. Lyttleton re-
ports that our post at Helvetia was cap
tured yesterday morning by the Beers.
About so were killed and wounded and 200
taken prisoners.
Col. Kitchener reports that he is fol-
lowing with a small force in the track of
the enemy, Helvetia being reoccupied by
Reeves, who has been reinforced from Bel
fast.
"Helvetia was very strong position on
the Machadodorp-Lydenbu railway and
was held by a detachment of the Liverpool!
regiment. Am asking for further informa-
ton"
The troops which have borne the
brunt of this latest disaster were a
detachment of Liverpool regiment
which had several times figured in
hard engagements during the summer
campaign in the Transvaal. The size
of the casualty list indicates that the
fighting was bloody while it lasted.
While Lord Kitchener sends bad
news for England on the closing day
of the year, the press continues to
take a surprisingly hopeful view of a
grave situation and of revelations OF
an enormously wide field of Boer ac-
tivity. Gen: De Wet is still at large,
Kimberley is isolated. The Beers are
in force enough to have captured a
strong position at Helvetia, in the
Lydenburg district, while Judging
from Lord Kitchener's very recent ad-
vices no progress is being made
against the Boer, invaders in Cape Col
ony. According to further kilograms
Zeerust is. practically besieged, but
has provisions sufficient, for. five
months. The garrison at Ottoshoop
has been withdrawn to Lichtenburg.
A dispatch from Carnarvon, dated Sat.
prday,, reports that the Beers who
have been threatening that point were
driven off and are being pursued.

the Helvetia disaster, the Daily Mail
calls upon the government to send out
at least $4,000 additional mounted
men. 81

Mr.. Wilcox, the new delegate from
Hawaii, has drawn over 81, 900 mileage
on his first trip to the capital, the
largest claim of the kind ever made,
The law allows members of congress
ten cents per mile, each way, which is
drawn for the round trip, and as the
distance from Hawaii to Washington is
$500 miles Mr.. Wilcox drew 81 ,O60. As
the actual cost of the trip, even if he did
not travel on pass, is only about one
fourth of that sum the gentleman was
considerably ahead on the transaction.
Mr.. Wilcox will draw $1,000 more for
his return trip.
