STORE FIERCE FIGHTIUGR IN FREE STATE Roberts Sends a Serious Cas ualtv List with no Explanation. British Invasion Being riously Contested. Se- Reports of Relief of Ladysmith are ' Premature . All News of Boiler's Campaign, How ever, is Favorable. SUPPOSED THAT CRONJE HAS BEEN REINFORCED FROM THE SOUTH, BUT NO MEN HAVE YET REACHED HIM FROM NA TAL. ' ' London, Feb. 21. The British idea that the Boers are demoralized and in a condition tf panic has been dispelled toy the publication of a serious casu alty list from General Roberts, -without any explanation how or where the loss occurred. Roberts first despatch gave the impression that the Boers were in full retreat, making hardly any re sistance, and aroused expectations that the next tidings would announce the surrender of Cronje's army. Now comes the news that nearly 50 , Brit ish officers, including two prominent generals, have been killed or wounded, While the losses of the rank , and file are not mentioned. There can be no doubt that the British invasion of the Orange Free State is being sharply contested, and that the federal forces are still fighting vigorously there. There has been no definite informa tion concerning the progress of te Roberts-Kitchener campaign since Sunday, but it is reasonable to suppose that Cronje has now been reinforced by ten thousand men from the south. It is, Impossible that the Boers who have been withdrawn from' Natal can have yet reached either him or Bloem- TfontelhV the' capitaTof 'the Free State. The news of Buller's campaign is fa vorable as far as it. goes, but the per sistent report that Ladysmith has been relieved is premature. .At mid night the war office announced it had received nothing for publication. CRONJE'S VERSION. (Pretoria, Feb. 19. A portion of an official report from Cronje, dated Feb' ruary 18, has been given out as fol lows: Yesterday morning- while removing a laager near schoitzneK, we were at tacked by the British. The fight last ed until 7:30 in the evening. Although on the whole the British were driven hack, they each time renewed the at tack. The loss to the British must have been considerable. Thus far the Boars' loss has been eight killed, 12 wounded This morning the British shelled us with . cannon.

Today's ses sion of the senate was mainly devoted to the consideration of a bill providin for a; territorial formL of government for Hawaii. An amendment offered by Mf. Piatt, changihg the . provisions of the bill ' so as to vest the appointment of the judges of the Supreme and Cir cuit courts in the president instead of in the governor, as provided by the bill, caused much discussion, during which Mr. Tillman asked Mr. Morgan, who was, Speaking in opposition to the amendment, as to the number of vot ers in Hawaii.

Threaten to Sever Connections With Borne. Havana, Feb. 21. That tne newly appointed bishop of Havana will ar rive on Saturday has intensified the ' opposition to him. Numerous pro tests have been sent to the papers, and circulars denouncing his appointment have been scattered broadcast.

Bernard Nicholls Also Breads Records on Florida Golf Links. Bernard Nicholls, the expert of th Swannanoa Country club, has re turned from Florida where he has been several weeks playing golf with professionals fromna.ll' over the United States and England. His greatest game was played at Ormond Fla, last Tuesday with Harry Vardon, the Brit ish champion. Which resulted in a vic tory for Nicholls by a score of 5 up and 4 to play.

A German professor brings a new count into the indictment against long skirts. He condemns them as a fre quent promoter of neuralgiac pains brought on by constant holding up of the dress. The height of stupid folly is reached by wearers of these ekdrte when the silken petticoat beneatn is also al lowed to train. The fashion is suitable onlv for reception gowns where car riages are used. The thoroughly modisn woman never thinks of wearing them on her shioDDing- or walking, trips. To see a delicate silk petticoat trailing on the ravemecitraheavy cloth skirt neld tagnt 4y around a little above the ankQes, is a common- and most irritating signx.
