BRITONS ARE BLUE.

REVERSES IN SOUTH AFRICA BPREAD WIDE DISMAY. ————— v Alarming Rumor* and War Office Reticence Serve to Stir London —Free State Successes and Annexation Edicts Influence the Dutch. The occupation of Golesburg by the Boere was a complete surprise to the British. It has caused the greatest feeling of uneasiness, as the advance may mean the engaging of Buller’s forces as fast as they arrive at De Aar, the point where the British general contemplates gathering his army corps preparatory to a campaign against Bloemfontein and Pretoria. Colesburg is just south of the Orange Free State border in Cape Colony Details at hand show that the advance of the Boers was accompanied by -the destruction of aH bridges and the tearing up of all manner of trail*it facilities. The British retirement to Estcourt has given the impression that it is intended to make a stand there. Estcourt is the last important town between the Boers and the capital of Natal, and if the Boers sweep past Estcourt nothing can stop them from laying siege to Pietermaritzburg, which cannot be expected to make a protracted defense, whale its fall would be a tremendous blow to British prestige throughout South Africa. The British retirement south of Colenso has given the Boers an opportunity to make a bid tor the active support of the disaffected Dutch in Natal by proclaiming the annexation of the upper Tugela section. Thus far the Dutch colonists seem to have confined their sympathy with the invading Boers to a Platonic emotion. Except for surreptitious assistance there is no evidence that they have yet joined the Boers opeuly in any appreciable numbers. Boer and British Preparedness. Since the British have met reverses in Natal there is some disposition to criticise the government for not having dispatched larger numbers of troops at au earlier stage. The war preparations, it to asserted, were not made, to keep pace

HOW BRITISH OFFICERS GET KILLED IN THE BOER WAR.

The extraordinary fatality among the leaders of the English soldiers in actions at Smith Hill and Elamtelaagte is clearly explained in this picture. While the men in the rushes up the kopjes took advantage of every cover, the officers esteemed it their duty to stand erect. In this position they became conspicuous quarry for the Boer marksmetu

with the political movements of the government. It is asserted that this criticism overlooks the wily nature of the Boer officials, who had no mind to allow a possible enemy to take his time in getting ready to crush them. Had troops been earlier dispatched to South Africa in large numbers the Boer ultimatum simply would have been delivered sooner. Nothing would have been gained by that procedure, therefore. Had the British refrained longer from moving to concentrate troops in South Africa the ulimatum would have been longer delayed and the beginning of the war would have been postpone*! to correspond. The Boers have been watching the British with suspicious eye for years, constantly preparing for the eonttiet they feared. They meant to strike whenever they saw the British rnoviug for advantageous position. It was inevitable, that the British, if they meant to invite war in South Africa, must enter the couilict with the odds against diem at the outset. The British War Office announced ait midnight Monday that no dispatches had

been received beyond those already made pubtie. Not a solitary official item of news was posted for nearly twenty-four hours. This gave rise to a crop of rumors that Ladysmith’s ammunition w*s exhausted; that Sir George Stewart White was mortally wounded-; that both facts were being concealed and that other unlucky happenings had taken place. Advices from other parts of South Africa were distinctly unpalatable to the Brit-, ish, and everything points to a critical situation. The movement of Boers into Oape Colony is beginning to awaken British fear that- they -have greatly underestimated the forces they will have to meet and that even Gen. Butter's task may not be so easy as anticipated. It is becoming apparent that all tl>6 British calculations, on the loyalty of population, are hopelessly at sea or there tax* been a very serious leakage of Dutch sympathizers from Natal and Gape Colony. Otherwise there is no accounting far the large forces of Burghers reported from all direction*. Xkw war office, urged to have more troops in readiness

STRENGTH OF THE BOERS.

British Government Expert Estimates Have Been Grossly Inaccurate, Mail news from South Africa' shows how inaccurate have been the estimates of the intelligence department and the governmental experts. It Is gleaned therefrom that a fair estimate of the Boer forces to as follows: Around Ladysmith 25,000 Traversing Zululand 4,000 Advancing on Burghersdorp 5,000 Colesbnrg 8,000 Kimberley 7,000 Mafeklng 4,500 On the northern Transvaal border.... 2,000 Exact information about the Boer artillery is lacking, but it to known that Gen. Joubert’s detachment, before it was re-enforced, consisted of sixteen Krupp field pieces of the latest pattern and two

heavy Oreiizot siege guns, which, but for the opportune arrival of the British naval brigade, would have rendered Ladysmith untenable. In connection with the naval guns, a most interesting and important experiment has been successfully carried out at

Cape Town with a 4,7-ineh. gun, so serviceable at Ladysmith. One of the British cruiser Terrible’s guns, mounted on a Scott traveling carriage, was fired in the same way as a field gun. with entire success. The Terrible, with a number of gnus thus mounted, is on her way to Durbin, and though the guns cannot now reach Ladysmith, they may be of the greatest value in the defense of Pietermaritzburg, which, it seems, will probably have to stand a siege. The arrival of the Terrible with the relief crews for China and other available men must have placed in the neighborhood of 3,000 more m#n at the service of the military authorities.

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

The rising of one tribe of natives in South Africa means the rising of all. European journals print the strongest anti-British reports with no concealment of rejoicing. Twenty missionaries have arrived at Durban from Swaziland after many narrow escapes. Thirty-five hundred Boers crossed the bridge at Bethulia, destroying sections of the railroad near that place. British military experts see in the Natal situation the worst that the country has faced since certain events in the Crimean war. The Boer farms are being worked by the women aud Kaffirs. All the farms send regular contributions of supplies to the Boer commissary. The humanity of both armies in caring for the wounded and the courteous exchange of prisouers are among the redeeming features of the hostilities. Dispatches from Cape Colony points indicate extreme disaffection among the Cape Dutch,- who are exulting over the Boor successes in Natal and are verging on an outbreak. Reports show that while the British still hold De Aar and the Orange river bridge the Boers have the latter undermined, thus commanding the route from Cape Town to Kimberley. All the Cape railways are now in the hands of the military authorities. Five hundred fcjtts of foodstuffs were seized on board the steamship Maria at Durban, consigned to Delagoa bay for the Transvaal.

The thirty-four fresh British battalions ordered are to report at once. It is evident that the war department is determined to crush the Transvaal even if in Kruger’s words England does pay a price that “wiH stagger humanity.” It is understood that the Boers have proclaimed the upper Tugela division of Natal nnmoxed to the Orange Free State. A dispatch from Ladysmith says that Gen. Joubert protested to Gen. White against the use of lyddite shell*, fired from the big naval guns, as inhuman. The war office is adopting Gen. Otis' tactics of silence jn regard to operations and resni-ts. The public is especially indignant at the war office for misrepresentations about the British defeat at Dundee (Oct. 30). which was balled in England at the time as a brttiiant vie-

A Big Fill.

On the Dead wood, 8. D., branch of the Burlington Railroad to a gulch 700 feet wide, known as Sheeps Canyon. This was crossed, until recently, by a wooden bridge, 126 feet high, which took over 240,000 feet of lumbar in the building. Recently this trestle was filled in, and the great undertaking attracted the attention of railroad men all over the country. It took twenty weeks to accomplish the task. It was necessary to haul 2,880,000 cubic feet of earth one and one-half ml lea up a two per cent grade and unload off the high bridge. This required 1,486 trains of fifteen cars each; 22,000 carloads in all. It was a stupendous undertaking, but now the bridge can’t burn, and It doesn’t coot a lot of money every year for repairs and watchers.
