A ditpatch to the World from London says: The min isters and their supporters are now real izing that' they plunged into the war with reckless haste, and the queen's message, in which she speaks of "dearly bought victories" and "dreadful loss of life," indicate with a plainness which she has never before permitted herself toindu.gein under like circumstances, her disapproval of the wrr. ' The British forces in Natal have al ready lost in killed or wounded nearly 500 men in three days' fighting. The Gordon Highlanders lost only one officer and five men killed in their famous at tack on Dargai Heights in the Afridi campaign, while at Eland's Laagto they had four officers killed and nine wounded , twenty men killed and thirty-three wounded. The Boers distinguish and shoot the officers by reason of their carrying no rifles, their uniform being the same as that of the men. The squadron of Hussars and the sec tion of mounted infantry which pursued the Boers after the first fight at Glencoe, last Friday, are still missing. Prolongation of the war beyond Brit ish expectation is now regarded as certain. New York, Oct. 25.
