Artillery Saved Gatacre From Grave Disaster. ABLES WOKKING P00ELY Information Stops Where Interest is Greatest. BUT OFFICIALS EITHER HAVE NO NEWS OR REFUSE TO GIVE IT TO THE PUBLIC LONDON NEWSPAPERS WITHHOLD, UN TIL FURTHER PARTICULARS, BLAME. London, Tuesday, Dec. 12. The west coast cable to South Africa is inter rupted and the only communication is by way of the east coast cable. . This fact must be assumed to expain the ab sence of further news of Gatacre's misfortune and his present position. All accounts of reverses end abruptly at the point where the interest cul minates, and nobody knows how the British troops were apparently so eas ily captured. The war office seems to Ibe as much lacking In information as the public. The most pjlausible sug gestion is that the men were too ut terly worn' out to resist . The affair has caused great irritation! against Gatacre hut there Is a general dispo sition to await explanation before crit icizing too severely. Fear is express ed that the.Jdepletion of his forces will compel him to fall back on Queens- town, a step- which would doubtless have a depflorahlepoliticai eft ect . LoremsSa "Mariquez, Dec. 11. An offi cial despatch from Pretoria says that 672 British prisoners were taken 'at Strtoimlberg. Another despatch, dated ttoday, says: "There was fighting last night at Modder River. commandant Cronje maintained his position and took fifty British priomers . " WORK OF THE ARTILLERY. London, Dep. 11. Detail regarding the disaster to General Gatacre's col umn Sunday show but for the miagnifi cent work of the British artillery the disaster would have been far. more ex tensive as the incessant Boer shell fire in the midst of the repulsed infantry ultimately led to disorder which only escaped developing into a rout through the batteries of artillery oc cupying smlocessive positions covering the retreat, thus 'drawing a portion of the Boers' failing fire. Apparently the British set about an impossible task and were treacherously guided. - After a trying, march anf under arms for sixteen hours they at tacked the wroe'g part of the Boer po sition where the hill wlas impregnable and the Burghers estimated to number 6,000 men instead of 2,000 as spies re ported. There is little in the story to mitigate the intense humiliation occa sioned by the episode which is almost an exact cousnterpart of the battle of Nicholson'si Nek. i DEPRESSING INFLUENCE.

Afternoon papers, like the morning papers, withhold the apportionment of blaime until further acquainted with the facts.

Lawton has occupied the town of Sara Miguel without opposition. The citi zens have requested that a garrison be stationed there. Colonel Hayes has skirmished through Sebul and Buloc and captured some of General Plo del Pilar's correspondence, which indi cates his force has broken up. Manila, Dec. 11. Captaira Sturges, with a troop of the Eleventh cavalry, surprised' forty insurgents of General Pando's command at Norzgary yester day. Three insurgnts were killed, four wounded and fourteen taken prisoners. None of the Americans was hurt. Indications are that the insurgents are trying to reach the district south of Manila. Manila, Dec. 10. During the recent attack by the insurgents upon Vigan the Filipinos obtained possession of the ptea and1 of a church in the centre of the town, from which the Americans dislodged them. It seems that the es caped Spaniards obtained gums and fought with the Americans against'the Insurgents. The records of the treasury of the so- called Filipino! .government, togetnW with a qu&ntity of 'paper- money and another Nordenfeldt have been founl at M'angataremi.' An expedition headed by the battle ship Oregon has gone to Subig. It Is reported that the Filipino commander, General Alejanldrino with his staff, has surrendered tto Gen..
