ate without the compensation which a
\Ictory would have brought, If. indeed,
the affair does not turn out to be a
more serious defeat than Gen’
eral Methusn admits. The Highland-
ers. it is said, must. have stormed the
Boer position more than once. while
the fact that the guards were ordered
to support the HIghinnders' rear looks
as though the Boers may even have
“outdanked their opponents. The only
compensation the British have been
able to prove in the disheartening story
is In General Methuen's statement that
Boers. thus arousing the hope that he
will relieve the situation. Apparently
the bombardment of Saturday and Sun-
day did not shake the Boers' grip on
their position. and It seems certain
that they merely withdrew their guns
and riflernen under cover. while Gen-
eral Methuen indulged In the usual
artillery preliminaries Monday, and
that when the British guns were oblig-
ed to cease firing. owing to the dan-
ger of hitting the advancing troops. the
Boers speedily re-occupied their
trenches and overwhelmed the High-
landers with a terrible fire. probably
accompanying this by an attack on the
British right flank and rear.
Alarm Is being expressed in many
quarters as to the situation of General
Methuén. As the Westminster Ga-
sette says: "if England over needed
it victory It Is now. and it Is to Butler,
the soldier. strong. cool-headed and
reticent. that the country looks for this
victory."
The other papers are abusing the
government for its "complacent optim-
ism." and Inability to grasp the
strength of the opposition it had to
overcome in South Africa.
Considerable significance attaches to
General Methucn's statement that he
is entrenching himself. indicating fear
that the Boers may follow up their ad-
vantage. adopt the offensive and at-
tack him. indeed the gravity of the
situation from the British point of
View can hardly be over-estimated.
General Methuen's long lines of com-
munication to DeAiir are most vulnere
able. Should they be cut. General Mc-
thuen will find himself in a very tight
place. if only from lack of supplies.
The news of the British reverse had
a bad effect on the Stock Exchange.
where there was a general relapse.
Kallirs and Band mines dropped 2%.
and De Boers dropped 2%.
The latest advices from General Gat-
acre show no anxiety Is felt for the
safety of his remaining troops. who
have been withdrawn to good posi-
tions along the railroad south of Moi-
icno. it Is said that Bushman's Hook
Ia prcgnable. The Boers decline to fur-
nish the names of the killed or wound-
ed. They say they buried the dead and
are sending the prisoners to Bloem-
fontcin.
The Boer loss on Sunday is reported
to have been four killed and nine
Wounded. Probably this is correct. as
no genuine attack was delivered by
General Galacre's troops. who were
completely surprised while in column.
The British apparently simply rushed
up the nearest hill without orders or
knowing where the enemy was. it also
appears that the. British realised their
Inability to accomplish anything. They
had been on the move since 4 a. m..
Sunday. traveling by train. in open
trucks. In the broillng sun. After an
hour's rest they proceeded on a long
march over the most difficult country.
London. December iii—General Me-
thucn's report from Modeler River
shows that he met with a serious
check Monday and suffered great loss.
Pretoria. Monday. December 11—An
official report says:
"A battle at Modder River began yes-
terday with cannon firing. heavy fight-
ing proceeding from 3 o'clock in the
morning until 9:30 o'clock. with can-
non. Maxims nnd rifles. A bombard-
ment began at 4:30 o'clock. and the
fighting still continues. A ballon has
just risen above the British positions.
where It remained ten minutes and des-
cended. There were heavy rains
during the night."
At 9 o‘clock this morning a further
report was received from Moddcr Riv-
er. A despatz'h courier brought word
that all the Boer positions had been
maintained and that forty-one British
prisoners had been taken. At 9:30 o’-
clock it was reported that the heavy
cannon fire had somewhat abated. The
British are constantly using their bal-
loon.

Governor Lonnsbury was present.

only a farmer by virtue of his holding
a certain oifice. He had observed that

Ity of the tree and the quality of the
fruit and advised more care In the
:selcction of the seed from which trees
‘were grown. even if they were to be
‘budded or grafted. The influence of
the Connecticut farmers did not stop
with the boundaries of his farm. but
his boys went into the city or West.

gy bred in them.
