COUNT LOSS BY THOUSANDS
All British Forces Brougnt to
a Standstill.
Boiler's Defeat Was Crushing Yol-
nnteers From Colonic Accepted
Boers Are Jobllant And
Losses Not Heavy.
I.ondou, Dec. 17. Although no more
' news of Importance has como through
from the front since tho. depressing dis
patch telling of General Duller'a re
verse, It was quite enough food for talk
nil day yesterday. Tho people marvel
now one general nfUr another, and
Duller Inst of all, allowed his troops to
bo drawn Into such traps. What was
done in tho way of scouting Is, of
course, not known hero, but It Is cer
tain that very llttlo had been learned
of the enemy's position, nor do tho war
balloons appear to hnvo helped In any
respect.
Military experts hero do not see how
the action of Duller, from whom so
much had been oxpectcd, can bo do
fended, viewing It by the light of his
dispatch. Dut military men think this
dispatch was written hurriedly and re
fuse to take condemnation from his
own mouth. Thoy prefer to believe
that Generals Hart mid Hlldyard at
tacked simultaneously, and that whllo
tho former failed tho latter would havo
probably succeeded had not tho reck
less action of tho commander led to
tho destruction of tho batteries and
consequent abandonment of tho at
tack. Duller, having been taught a lesson,
may try again very soon. He Is qulto
strong enough tor cut lit J wny through,
but not to give points to his ehomles.
Therefore wo may hear more from him
In the course of a few days.
In any caso tho Government hero Is
very active, If not alarmed. A hurried
Cabtnot council was hold yesterday.
Preparations for sending strqng rein
forcements arc proceeding npace. ,
A telegram from Pretoria says that
the Doers on Thursday attacked a
small Drlttsh force near Mafeklng
with good results, tho fort being de
molished. A skirmish has also taken
placo near Colesburg, the Doers having
been attacked at Vaalkop. .
The list of casualties at Magersfon
teln Issued from the War Ofllco yester
day shows how terribly sevcro wero
the losses sustained by tho second bat
talion of tho Royal Highlanders, better
known as tho Dlack Watch. Their
total casualties numbered 325.
The Government has telegraphed to
Harl Deauchamp, Governor of Now
South Wales, an acceptance of tho of
fer of a further Australian contingent
for service in South Africa. Tho au
thorities suggest that nil men should
bo mounted and bo good shots and
should provldo their own horses.
Lord Methuen sent out artillery to
Rhell tho Door lntrenthments and out
posts. The enemy replied and a sharp
artillery duel succeeded. This was of
brief duration. No casualties occurred
on the Dritlsh side.
Tho Doers between tho Modder river
and Klraberley are believed to number
from 15,000 to 20,000 men.
The Mafeklng garrison is reported to
bo running short of provisions. Heavy
cannon fire by both tho besieged and
the enemy continues dally.
The Doers on Thursday wero attack
ing Kuruman garrison In forco. The
British were, It Is stated, making a
gallant stand. Tho result of the attack
is not known yet

GENERAL DULLER'S REPORT.
London, Dec. 16. (12:47 a. m.l Tha
War Offlco has received n dispatch an
nouncing that Gen. Duller has met with
a serious reverse, losing eleven guns
In nn unsucccsssful attempt Id cross
tho Tugela river.
Tho following Is tho text of Gen. Dul
lcr's dispatch to Lord Lansdowno:
Chlevcley Camp, Dor. 15. (0:20 p.
m.) I regret to report n serious re
verse. I moved In full strength from
our camp near Chleveley at I this
morning. Thcro aro two fotrinblo
places In tho Tugela river, nnd It was
my Intention to forco n passage
through ono of them. They are nbout
two miles apart. My Intention was to
forco ono or tho other with ore brigade
supported by a central brlgad". Gen.
Hart was to attack tho loft, Gen. Hlld
yard tho right road and Gen. L,ytIeton
to attack tho center and to support
either.
Early in tho day I saw that Gen.
Hart would not be able to force a pas
sage, and I directed him to withdraw.
Ho had, however, attacked with Brent
gallantry nnd his loading battalion,
tho Connaught Rangers, I fear suffered
a great deal. Col. I. G. Drooko was se
riously wounded.
I then ordered Gen. Hlldyard to ad
vance which ho did, and his loading
right, tho East Surrey, occupied Colon
so station and tho housoi near tho
bridge.
At that moment I heard that tho
whole artillery I hod Kent to support
tho attack, tho 14th and 66th field bat
teries nnd six naval 12-pounders,
qulck-flrers, under Col. Long, had ad
vanced closo to tho liver, In Long's
desire to bo within effective range. It
proved to be full of tho enemy who
suddenly opened a galling flro ut close
range, killing all their horses, and the
gunners wero compelled to stand ta
their guns. Somo of tho wngon teams
got Bheltcr for" tho troopp in a donng,
and desperate effort) wcio mndo to
bring out tho field guns. The -fire,
however, wns too sovcre, nnd only two
wero saved by Capt. rfchoodold and
some drivers, whoso tinmen I will fur
nish. Another gallant attempt with three
teams was made by an officer, whose
nnmo I will obtain. Of tlu eighteen
horses, thirteen wcro Killed, nnd us
sovoral drivers wcro wounded, I would
not allow another attempt, as It seemed
that thoy would bo a shell mark. Not
wishing to sacrlflco llfo to a gallant
attempt to forco tho rnssago unsup
ported by artillery," 1 directed tho
troops to withdraw, which they did In
good order.
Throughout tho day n considerable
force of tho enemy was passing on my
right flank, but was kept back by
mounted men under Lord Dundonnld
and part of Gen. Barton's brigade Tho
day was Immensely hot and trying to
tho troops, whoso conduct was excel
lent Wo havo abandoned ten guns nnd
lost by sholl one.
The losses in Gen. Hart's brigade
are, I fear, heavy, although the propor
tion of severely wounded Is, I hope,
not large. The 14th aud 66th field bat
teries also suffered severe losses.
Wo havo retired to our camp at
Chlevcley.
Germany Is Ncutrjil.
Berlin, Dec. 14. In tha Reichstag to
day during tho debate on the Budget
Estimates, Herr Eugeno Rlchtcr, Radi
cal leader, commenting on the Em
peror's Hamburg speech, defended the
Houso from tho reproaches of per
sistently refusing to lncreaso tho Navy.
"If, however," ho proceeded, "tho Bun
desrath is reduced to tho position of a
body of men whoso solo purposo is to
fulfill tho supremo will, then the
Reichstag must revert to tho demand
for the Institution of responsible Min
istry." Referring to tho Transvaal situation,
Herr Richter said: "Whllo tho sym
pathies of Germany are with tho
Boers, tho Government must and Is
remaining neutral."

the minds of many as to whether these
steamers will be allowed to land at
ports on tho other islands. Kauai is
very strict about such matters and,
from remarks of prominent people
there heard by a representative of this

question If tho Hall will bo allowed to

DEPUTY MARSHAL INVESTIGATES
Deputy Marshall Chllllngworth wns
sent out this forenoon to Investigate
Into tho mattor of tho movements of
the two Chlnnmen previous to their

Bulletin reporter:
"I went out to Pawaa first nnd found
tho placo where Chong Mon Dow died.
it is on mo. Ewn sldo of Sheridan ave
nuo .about half way between King
street nnd the sea where a lot of
Chinamen aro carrying on a vegetablo
garden business. It seems that, until
three or four dnys before death Chong
was In tho big hou"so where nil tho
vegctamo ciunnmen mnko their home.
At the end of this tlmo ho wns taken
out nnd put Into tho shack near by In
which ho died. This latter plnco Is to
be burned, I collected nil tho China
men on tho place and nlaced them In
quarantine, with Detectives Knnpa
and Chun Poon and Officer Apann as
guards. Later on these wcro relieved
by Doard of Health guards under tho
stilctcst orders.
"In the case of Ah Fong, I found that
ho and two other Chinamen, making
up a vegetable firm, lived In a shnck
abovo tho last brldgo on King Btrect
before reaching Kamchamehn, Just
back of Y. Ah In's rlco mill. About
threo weeks ago Ah Fong left tho placo
nnd enmo to town whero ho remained
until a short tlmo before his death. I
understand that when his friends In
town found out his condition they re
moved him to his old place. I learned
further that ho had never been to
Kaneoho nnd that this statement was
mado up out of wholo cloth. Of courso
I shall search untiringly for the Chlnn
men In town nt whoso plnco ho was
previous to being taken to Kapalama.
If this place Is found It will bo quar
antined. In tho mcantlmo the shack In
Kapalama will bo. burned."
