London, Oct. 31. The. disaster to the British, at Lady Smith and the capture of the two regiments iaid the battery after a terrible slaughter has today ap palled England and demonstrated that the Boers are good strategists as well as fighters. Three times in successioc they have deceived the British by re treating, and turned, what is classed in England .jas British victories, into practical reverses., Patriotic English men now pray for deliverance frafji any iniore such voetories. The effect of today's news in Eng land is crushinig, Gloom oppresst-s the whole population. There is no popular anger or demands for repri sals.' General. -White's manly assump tion of all the responsibility of the sit uation checks it, and at is too oarly to expect reaction aenainst the govern ment. i Forebodings of worse to come and anxiety for details from . Lady Smith aire themiain feaures of the publlo e inl at present. All experts agree that th" situation of the British forces a Lady Smith is precarious. Its cap tut e or annihilation are . by no means impos sible, and such a Mow to Britlsu .pres tige might easily have grave conse quences elsewhere. THE CONTENDING ARMI2S. IMeager information that grefss past the censor indicates that Gemval Jou bert has witlh him before Laiy Smith every man -who can oossibly be spared . from other commands to strike the blow; that, the Orange Free State force 3s recruited to the last available man, and has -been hurrying down f::n Van Reenen's pass. The combined forces under Jouberlt cannot number less than 25,000 men,-while the most hopeful guess at the size of General White's force does not place it above 20,000. CABINET TO MEET. Loniddn, Wednesday, Nov. L The cab inet Ibaa been summoned to mee't tomor row. The cewspapera do noit attempt to conceal 'the gravity of the dieusiter at Lady Smith. General White's past rec ord and present chivalry disarms much criticism and elicits sympathy. i . A 3RAVE ERROR. AH papersjtiake conolfort from the oon vicitkmi that the present reverse will inidt affect the ulUma'te result.

The disaster cost th British from 1,500 to 2,000 men and eix seven mound screw guns, and as the Boers' artillery is al ready stronger than imagined the cap ture of the guns will be a great help to the Boers.

We have lost heavily In many wars land have had regiments al most wiped out" " x tVjihave regiments capltured, and by Boers, it is terrible." An official of the war office said: "The disaster is more thaa likely due to the craze of the younger officers to distinguish themselves. and to obtain mention in the despatches and to earn the "Victoria cross than to any fault of General White."
