Many Killed and Wounded and Forty-one Prisoners. YICT0EY WAS COMPLETE British Loss 58 Killed, 128 Wounded and 18 Missing. BULDER REPORTS THAT THE " BOERS KEEP UP A DESULTORY BOMBARDMENT OF KIMBERLY. ENEMY DRIVEN BACK BY A SORTIE. London, Nov. 28. The war ofn.-e posted a despatch fromi General Me thune, dated Belmont, the 23d (today), saying he attacked the enemy at day break in a sttrong position, which he carried successfuUy. The enemy he says, fought with courage and skill,. i but the victory for the British was complete. Many Boers were killed and wounded and forty prisoners were taken, togeth er wtih a large amount of horses and cows. Methuen says he also destroyed a large amount of ammunition.- He adds that the British loss was three officers and fifty-five men killed, twenty-two officers and one hundred and twenty-eight mem wounded and eighteen missing. I KIMBERLY BOMBARDMENT. London, Nov. 23. The war office re ceived a despatch from General Bul ler, dated the 23d (today), stating that Kimlberly reports that the Boers main tained a desultory bom'bardment of tho town on the 13th, 14th amd 15th, and that their fire was indifferent. He says that on the morning of the 16th a sortie was made to Carter's farm and there was an artillery engagement in wrhich two British were wounded. In a sortie from Bulpriten on the 16th the British, he reports, drove the enemy back to the edge of Alexander's foun tain. 'He siays the enemy is reported to be concentrating south of Kimberly. BULLER IN NATAL. Cape Town, Nov 23. General Buller has gone to Natal. He is expected to return: shortly. METHUNE' S VICTORY. London, Nov. 23 The snarp blow that General Methune's column dealt the Boers at Belmont temporarily shifts the centre of war interest from Natal. Methutne's victory is the first British success of consequence since the battle of Elandslaagte. The Brit ish loss in killed, however, exceeds that of any previous single engagement except that outside of Lady Smith, which involved the Nicholson's Nek disaster. MUCH YET TO BE LEARNED. There is clearly much to be learned yet regarding the value of Methune's victory. It is not known whether the British remained in possession of the captured position. The destruction of ammumition suggests that they did not, and the missing men is a possible further indication of their inability to hold the position. FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MONITOR PASSAIC. 5 She Has Put to Sea and a Fierce Gale is Blowing. Norfolk, Nov. 23. A heavy gale pre vails off the coast "tonight and fears are expressed for the safetly of the old monitor Passaic, which is being towed from Pensiadola to Philadelphia to be sold for juk.

Nothing was received from General Otis today con cerning the operations in Luzon., Press despatches saying that Aguinaldo supposed to be making for Ilocos caused much gratification to the war department officials. It is believed that" South Ilocos is meant. This in formation' indicates that Agvtinaldo is sticking closely to the west coast and has not struck eastward toward Bay- ombong. There is a good road trail fol lowing the west coast to the very northermost end of the island, ajnd Aguinaldo has evidently found it to his advantage to keep this.

THE NATIONAL PARK. We have in North Carolina the most massive and most beautiful mountains east of the Rockies, and the finest hard wood forests on the continent, and of course we hope to see this proposed na tional park include the noblest of these mountains and the wildest of these in tervening gorges But this is more than a local problem. It wilt interest as large a portion of the country as any of the national parks now im existence; it will preserve the headwaters of some of our mos important streams. Let our sister states aid us in securing this great park, which will be theirs- as well as ours, and their citizens, can come and fish with us along the mountain brooks. Later, if other parks are de sired North Carolina will aid in their establishment, the more of therm the better. Let us at all events, preserve several samples of these splendid'for ests, so that the succeeding genera tions dani at least see fan imagination, the glorious heritiage which their fa thers destroyed.
