Lomdoh, December 11 The lstest de-
tails of General Gatacre's defeat on Sum
day at Stonnberg, Cape Colony, show
that his Column was guided Into a posi
tion where it was at ths jnercjrof a
heavy Boer fire unless it retreated. ...: -
Ignorance or treachery on the part or
Dutch guides snd neglect of proper re
counolsssnce precautions are responsible
for this serious setback for the British
arms. It is not ySt known at what stage
the British prisoners, numbering more
then (00, were cut off. Ae at Nicholson's
Nek, It is assumed as certain that they
continued to give a good account of
themselves as long as their, ammunition
held out.' ' - - 1 "
Tha remit of the reverse is thst Gen
eral Qatacre's advance Is delayed, as Is
also that of General Frenoh's from De
Aar and Nsauwpoort. -Methnen, too-is
hampered. Ths town of Stormberg; it -1
now known, is held by a far greater
force than was supposed.- General Gata
ere will, require powerful reinforcements
before be can make another attack. ,.11
remains to be seer whether, the Boers,
emboldened by their success, will ven
tare south snd try to cut Gataorea line
of communication, ' s . "
Experts here would not be surprised
to find tbsl a considerable- pert of ..the
Boers investing Ladysmlth have been
called off and harried down sontb of the
Free State to bar apprca :h from the
north of Cape Colonv. The extreme
mobility ot the Boer has always been
one ot their chief sources of strength.
General Bulleryesterday held a review
of troop at Frere Camp,: Natal, prol
blv as a prelude to elving an order- to
advance. --".. '
