THE B0ER
 VICTORY Discourages but Does Not DiShearten the British. SEND MORE TROOPS
Six Thousand Yeomanry Embarked
 For South Africa With Large Drafts of Cavalry and Iniantry-British
 Reported Defeated in Second Fight.

London. March ll.-Expressions of steadfastness have today succeeded those of humiliation which were uni versally heard here yesterday on the publication of the Methuen disaster. Lord Rosebery struck the popular note today in d speech before the Glasgow students, when he admitted that it was heartbreaking after all the expenditure of life, time and money, but added: Tt will not dishearten us. We have to see this thing through and must take the blows fortune deals us with equanimity, showing ourselves worthy of better fortune"
 London, March 1.-War Secretary Frederick, when asked in the house of commons today what steps would be taken in view of the success of the Boers against General Melhuen, said that 6, QUO yeomanry will be immediately embarked with large drafts of cavalry and infantry. Lord Kitchener will be given all the assistance asked for.
 Reports from the continent that the defeat of General Methuen was fol- lowed by another fight, also favorable to the Boers, occasions some anxiety, owing to the absence of news from GeL- eral Grenfell's column of l,3OO men. which left Klerksdorp to join General Methuen. It is thought possibly De. larey may have attacked Grenfell.
