Forces anil Compelled to Capitulate
After Hard Kight,
.Lokdon, Oct. 31. The war office has
received a dispatch from General White.
cominmauding ' the British forces at
Ladysmith, reporting, that the Rojal
Irish fnslleers, nnmberms ten monn-
tain batteries and the Gloucester regi
ment, were surrounded in the hills by
the Boers, and after losing heavily.
obliged to capitulate. General White
adds that the casualties have not been
ascertained yet.
The folio-wing is the text of General
White's dispatch to the war office":
"I have to report a disaster to the
column sent by me to take a position on
a hill lying to the left of the troops. In
these operations today the xtoyal Irish
Fusileers, numbering ten mountain bat
teries ana tne Gloucestershire regiment,
were surrounded in the hills, and after
losing heavily, had to capitulate. The
casualties have nocyet been ascertained.
"A man of the fusiieers employed as
a hospital orderly rauje in under a flag
of truce with a letter from the urvivors
of the column, who asked for assistance
to bnry the dead. .,
"I fear there is no dnubt of the truth
of the report. I formed a plan in the
carrying out of "which the disaster oc
curred, and I am aloue responsible for
the plan. There is no biame whatever
to the troops, as the position was un
tenable. "
General White send9 a list of tht offi
cers taken prisoners, 41 in ail, some of
whom were wounded.
Ni ws SlnggTS London.
While minor reverse were not wholly
unexpected, nothing like the staggering
blow General Joubert delivered to Gen
eral White's forces yesterday was an
ticipated. The full extent of the disas
ter is not' yet acknowledged, if it i3
known at the war office. The loss in
effective -men must be appalling to a
general who is practically surrounded.
Two of the finest British regiments
and a mule battery deducted ffom the
Ladysmith garrison weakens it about
a fifth of its total strength and alters
the whole situation very materially in
favor of the. Boers, who have again
shown themselves stern fighters and
military strategists of nomean order.
The disaster cost .the British from
1,500 to 2.Q0O men and six 7-pound screw
guns, and as the Boer -artillery is al
ready stronger than imagined, the cap
ture of these guns will be a great help
to the Boers.
Further news, must be awaited before
It is attempted to fix the blame where it
belongs. General White manfully ac
cepts all the responsibility for the dis
aster, which, apparently, was at least
partially due to the stampeding of the
mules with the guns.
The interest in the news was univer
sal, pervading all classes and conditions
of London's populaee. The newspaper
extras were eagerly read in busiuesss
houses.Vou the streets and by womsn
in their carriages.
j Anxious KorDf ttttl. .
Then there was a rush to the war
office, whioh. by noon, was surrounded
by private carriages and hansoms, while
many of the humbler ol people came on

names they hold dear.
Never was the old saying, "bad news

We have lost heavily in many wars and

As the day wore on the crowd around
the war office swelled to enormous pro
portions, and at Gloucester, the home
of many of those engaged, the wildest
excitement prevailed. The Bpecial edi
tions of the lccal newspapers were
speedily exhausted and the same thing
occurred at Bristol and other towns in
that country. .
Comiug-so soon after the engagement
for the Reitzfontien, where the Glou
cestershires suffered heavily, broughl
the keenest sorrow to households all
over the country whose name the regi
ment bears.
' A Second Army Corps.
It is learned by the Associated Press
that the war office has ordered a second
army corps to be in readiness to be
called out.
The military officials have not yet de
cided whether the consummation of the
plan will be necessary, but they are de
termined to have everything in readi
ness either for a demonstration in Eu
rope of Great Britain's capabilities or
for sending even a large force to the
scene of action. Until the receipt of
the news of the Ladysmith disaster, the
latter course was considered out of the
question. But now there is no know
ing what steps will be decided upon.
The war office has sent the following
dispatch to Geiferal Buller:
"Three extra battalions of foot and
one mounted battery reserves will leave
during the course of ten days to make
good the casualties."
Reports are current here that General
White may retire to Pietermaritzburg,
where the railroad is intact. . There is
much divergence of opinion in military
circles as to the advisability of such- a
etep.- ,
It is reported from Barkley-West that
the Boers are constructing forts around
Kimberley for the purpose of shelling

"The disaster had au immediate effect
on the btock .exchange here, where con
suls fell one half. South African secu
rities dropped heavily. Rand lines fall

quarters. The afternoon newspapers made only
brief editorial comments on the news
from Ladysmith, but their headlines
voiced the general feeling of sorrow.
The tone of the editorials can be summed
up in the following statement of the
St. James Gazette:
"It is evident that the patriotism and
fortitude of the nation are to be tested
in real earnest by these operations of

In one case it was decided that, "while

In another case in which the assign
