BOLLER FORCED
TO RETREAT
Lost Eleven Hundred Men
and Eleven Guns at
Tugela River.
London. Dec. 17. The war office
has given out but little information
concerning Buller's engagement with
the Boers at Tugela river on Friday,
except that his losses in the engage
ment were: killed, 82; wounded. 667;
missing, 348; a total of 1097. He also
lost 11 guns and large quantities of
small arms and ammunition.
General Buller had attempted to
cross the river with relief for Lady-
Smith, but encountered a heavier force
of Boers than he expected, and finding
it impossible to effect his object, he or
dered a retreat in order to avoid
greater loss. Eight officers were killed
in the engagement and forty wounded.
Eighteen officers are missing.
Queen' Victoria was greatly con
cerned at the latest reverses. Com
mander-in-chief Lord Wolseley was at
Windsor Castle when the news arrived
and he took a special train back to
London.
News of the defeat of Buller caused
a momentary panic on the stock ex
change. There was intense excite

after the opening jobbers started real

to six points below Friday's close.

e Vong Thinks the Englitth Army Will
Never iteach the Boer Capital.
New York, Dec. 18. M. de Long,
the manager of the dynamite factory
at Modderfontein, in the Transvaal,
has just returned tb Fraoce and has
been interviewed by the representa
tives of several of the Paris journals.
He says that the British government
can have had no Idea of the vast ex
tent of the the preparations that the
Boers have been quietly making for
years, with the realization tnat an'
other struggle with the full force of
Great Britain was inevitable. Even
should the Boers be driven out of Na'
tal, be points out that no British army
could ever hope to enter the Trans
vaal and survive.
Since the war began, heavy artillery
that had been carefully stored away
has been broughs forth. He asserts
that the forts at Pretoria and Jonan
nesburg are as strong as any fortresses
in the world, and have within the last
month been rendered absolutely im
pregnable, while Edelberg alone could
hold its own with 25 men against 1000
assailants, particularly in the rainy
season, which has just begun, causing
unfordable streams suddenly to spring
into existence.
M. de Long further states that there
are about 6500 well-trained uerman
volunteers in the Boer army who have
not yet been allowed to go to the front.
He adds that the governments of the
Boer republics are showing a great
economy of strengtn, and nave not
yet used a third of their military re
sources.

Irishmen Denounce England.
New. York, Dec. 18. The United
Irish-American societies met last night
and adopted resolutions in which Eng
land was denounced as the hereditary
enemy of representative government;
that her war is one for lust of terri
tory and utterly without justification;
that the Boers deserve and merit the
support of all free men, and particu
larly of all Americans. Senator Ma
son and Representatives Sulzer and
Jett were complimented for their reso
lutions of sympathy for the fighting
Boers; the hope was expressed that the
British. armies be driven totnthe sea;
that the British empire be annihilated."
The Irish National Club also met, and
a number of speeches were made de
nouncing .England. The Irishmen say
that they will try to make arrange

THE EMPIRE IS
IN DANGER
Englishmen Take
Serious View of the
Situation.
jnew York, Dec. 18. A dispatch to
the World from London says: There
is no alleviation of the gloom and
panic caused by General Buller's re
verse. The British forces in India
cannot be further depleted by drafts
for South Africa, while threatened
trouble from Menelik, the Negus of
Abyssinia and the possibility of com
plications along the Mediterranean,
renders the reduction of the garrisons
in Egypt too risky, although General
Kitchener is going to succeed Lord
Roberts as chief of staff.
Fear is ax pressed that the German
navy may be used in conjunction with
those, of Russia and France to exert
pressure to prevent reinforcements
reaching South Africa, It Is possible
that in view of such a contingency im-
mediate orders will be Issued for the
mobilization of the fleet reserves. The
British public is awaiting with the
keenest apprehension the first indica
tion of active hostility from continental
enemies. -
A reconstruction of. the cabinet is
eagerly discussed in political circles.
Many deem it imperative that Its old
and useless members, like Goscben,
Chaplin an'I Cross, shall be sacrificed.
Lord Salisbury, oppressed with public
and private cares and shaken in health,
is declared to be anxious to retire, but
it is represented to him that his dis
appearance would inevitably cause a
total collapse of the administration.

New York, Dec. 18.--A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Gage will not discuss the
question of what further action. If any,
be will take to relieve the monetary
stringency. The gravity of. the situa
tion Is thoroughly appreciated by the
treasury department, but just what
will be done it is impossible to predict,
though it is probable hat some meas
ure of relief will be afforded by in
creasing the government deposits in
national banks. ,
An offer to purchase another block
of government bonds may be consider
ed, though the result of the' last of
fer were not encouraging. . Officials
think that in a time of stringency the
government ought not to be expected
to offer more than the market price
for its bonds. It is apparent, however
that if bonds are to be bought, more
must be offered for them, as under the
last offer the government received only
$20,000,000 out of the $35,000,000 which
Secretary Gage was willing to buy.
