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

London. Dec. 31.-The wal office has
received the following dispatch from
Lord Kitchener:
Pretoria, Dec. 3.-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 a very strong position on
the MISUNDERSTANDING 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 a 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 a, large.
Kimberley is isolated. The Beers are
in force enough to have captured a
strong position at Helvetia, in the
L~ydenburg district, while judging
from Lord Kitchener's very recent adj
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has been withdrawn to L~ichtenburg.
A dispatch from Carnarvon, dated Sat
urday, reports that the Beers who
have been threatening that point were
driven off and are being pursued.
London. Dec. a1.-Commenting upon
the Helvetia disaster, the Daily Mail
calls upon the government to send out
at least $4,000 additional mounted

which vas the signal for deafening
shouts of welcome. Princess Beatrice,
in her capacity as governor of the Isle
representing the queen, awaited Lord
Roberts, whose arm was still in a sling
as a result of being thrown from his
horse in South Africa. He was warmly
greeted and the party started in royal
carriages TO Osborne house. The route
was lined with troops and thronged
with cheering sightseers.
Lord Roberts stopped on his way
at the town hall of East Cowes, where
eulogistic addresses of welcome were
presented to him. He then resumed
his drive and entered the grounds of
Osborne house by the prince of
Wales entrance and proceeded up the
noble, troop-lined avenue to her mai
esty's Isle of Wight residence. After
a hearty reception in the council
chamber by a number of princes and
princesses Lord Roberts was ushered
into the presence of the queen. His
audience of her majesty was quite
private.
The queen bestowed an earldom on
Lord Roberts. with a special remainder
for his daughters. He was also made
q knight of the Garter.
Remainder" as mentioned above,
is a provision for the passage of a
patent of nobility to a special sue
cessor or line of succession, in default
of male issue on the decease of a pres
ent holder"
Replying to the addresses at the
town hall, Lord Roberts said he re-
GREETED that his return was not ac-
companied by immediate peace, but
he added, while he feared hostilities
would continue for some time, he had
implicit confidence in Lord Kitchener
and had no fear regarding the out
come. He concluded with an eulogy
of the magnificent army of Great
Britain, all the components of which,
he pointed out, pulled together SPLEEN
didly.
London, Jan. st is understood
that at the conclusion of the opera
lions in South Africa Lord Kitchener
will become commander in chief in
India.

NEW YEARS. RECEPTION.
Gorgeous Function on the First

White House.

Washington, JAN. .2.-In the long
line of New Years receptions at the
white house, which each year inaugu-
rate the social a at the national

ushered in the twentieth century.
Representatives of the army and navy
were gorgeous in gold lace and pol
ished buttons, Gen. Miles leading the
army with Adjt. Gen. Corbin beside
him, and Admiral Dewey the navy.

bers of the receiving party had taken
places in the blue parlor the long line
of guests began to move. First in the
line came the ambassadors and minis
tiers from foreign courts, accompanied
by their full staffs. At their head
was the venerable Lord Pauncefote,
British ambassador, and dean of the
diplomatic corps, in full uniform. With
him were Lady Pauncefote and Hon.
Miss Pauncefote. Following came
Baron Fava, the italian ambassador;
DR.. O. Holleben, the German ambas-
sador; NJ. Cambon, the French ambas-
sador: Count Cassini, the Russian am
b%assador, and Senior Don Aspiroz, the
Mexican ambassador, each accom-
panied by his staff and ladies'. Mrs.
Mckinley endured the trying ordeal
with much composure, remaining
alongside the president throughout.
About 5000 persons had been re-
ceived when, at 1870 o'clock, the recep-
ton was to close. However, as the
crowd still stretched four abreast be-
yond the outer gates, the president di-
rected that the reception proceed, that
all might come in. 1t was two o'clock
when the end of the line appeared, and
the president, waving a final salutation
to the guests, escorted Mrs. McKin-
ley to her apartments.
After the white house receptions the
wives of the cabinet officers, the COM
handing general of the army, the for
eign ambassadors and ministers and
other high officials held receptions at
their homes. The day was notable for
