GENERAL LORD ROBERTS Kepnt-te Casualties Anions Hi OfHoere, but la Strangely fMlent a to HimmUm of Ilia Fijrhtin Boer j Advtoee Arc Co the KPHt ; That the British Wera Fought to a Standstill. London. Feb. 22. Tbe Tost la an extra edition bas a dispatch from Ladysniltb, date I Feb. 19, which eaya bombardment continues, but with lit tle damage. Garrison In food spirits over Rolterts atieoens and Gen. Baller'a advance, which Is now visible. London, Feb. 22. I.ord Roberts list Of A'.i killed and wounded officers, including two seneralrt, In the engage ment up to Sunday evening, causes an anxiety, especially as In the of fleer's lint neither tbe losses of the Welsh and Kssex repiments nor those of the mounted infantry are included. This ia atK.ut the uumtwr that fell at t'olenno, where the noueoinnilsMloned officer, and the men "brought the total loHHCM tO fM. It la considered atrantte that when aendluK bis casualties Lord Roberts given no information as to the results of the fighting. If he has sent aueh a report the war office is withholding It. Moreover nothing is known as to what took place Monday, Tuesday and yesterday. This absence of details from Ixird Rolerts dispatch, contrast ed with his rattier full narratives during the first part of hU operations. produces uneasiness among military observers. All tbe comment in the morning pa pers, both editorial and critical, is threaded with the disturbing sugges tion that, despite hard lighting. Uen Cronje bus lcen able to leat off his pursuers, has escaped and Is teing re inforced by rail from Ladysuilth and by forces on foot and horseback from northern Caie Colony, as well as the late beleaguers of Kliuberley. Aa the correspondents with Lord Roberta ate silent the telegrams from Boer sources receive some contenance. The latter aver that Gen. Cronje, while the British were endeavoring to aurround him between Paardeberg and Koodoos rand, received reinforce ments under Ievet and that together the lloc r couimaudei-s fought the British to a standstill. However, all this may be, public opinion here will not 1h reassured until tbe war office issues explicit statements of successes, which of course, would clear away the gathering doubts and respecting the uninterrupted auccesa of Lord Roberta forward movement. No one doubts bis ultitemporary Ataapvotnrtnent and that a lot of hard fighting Is yet ahead of the British. Tbe latent if-port regarding Gen. Buller circulated In the house of commons last evening was that an agent of the IH Beers company had received a cablegram from Cape Town, which must have passed the censor, to the effect that Gen. Barton's Fusilier brigade had reached tbe hills commanding 1 jul.vsmitu . Quite apart from this, however, and from every other rumor, the early relief of the beleaguered garrison Is thought inevitable. ".4 WAR ONLY It KG UN. ICiiKlish Public Warned Not to Believe ' Hostilities Are Practically Over. London. Feb. 22. The Cape Town correspondent of The laily Mail says: "It Is of the very gravest Importance that the British public shonld not be carried away by receut successes into a belief that the war Is practically over. Nothing could be more fatal to a satisfactory prosecution of the war, and above all to a satisfactory settle ment of the wliole country after the war. than any relaxation of military activity, any stoppage of reinforcements, any temporizing or bargaining with the Free State or the Trausvaal through mis taken ideas of magnanim Itr toward au assumedly beaten foe. . The highest authorities and the soundest opiuiou here say that the wat has really only Just begun In earnest. Indeed, they say that the real strap g-le will only begin when the present military operations end. "I have the best reason for assert tng that an attempt Is likely to b made by Boer supporters la the colony to force easy terms for the r ree atat era, now or soon, by holding out a threat of a lutch rising la the colony, I Any Idea of leaving the Free State Its independence would . be fatal to Britiati lnteresta. The British peoph miMt not deceive themselves int thinking that It Is now only a walk over. They have a most dangerously subtle and powerful foe to deal with In more wtj than It would be polit , to discuss publicly. There should be no halting In send Ing troops. A quarter of a million ol British trootm will be none too many. The more w- have1 and the sooner thej are here the quicker will be the end of i-e war ami the suref will be tht settlement that is to mean Justice tc very one, Dutch and British alike, and lasting peace and certain prosper lur to South Africa.

There is a zest, a breeziness, a vim connected with the 24th annual state ment of The Prudential Insurance Company of America, whose home office is weated at Newark, N. J.

It has ordinary policies in orce to the amount of over tll3,jOO.000, and industrial policies to the amount of over $3S9, 000,000, a grand otal of over one-half billion of dol lars. jOcd year me ruaentiai surassed its own previous records, but n the year 1899, in amount of new i isurance, it surpassed all the life msunncj companies in the world. writing during tne year over tzZz, tJ0.000.
