Days' Fighting.
New York, Oct. 25. 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

tack on Dargai Heights in the Afridi

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.
