CUssiun of tin conduct of the wnr aud of
what uiixht have been done or ought now i
to be done. j

Great Hiitiiin's losses since the wni
began arc fast approaching K.(NM). A wni
office compMntion of casualties issued last
Tpniiiff showa a totnl of 7,213 1.02"i
killed, 3.75 womided and 2,511 missing
These do not include 140 who hnve suc
cumbed to disense nor the cnsualties al
Ladysmith last Saturday.
Major General Prior, commanding the
Fifteenth brigade, under orders to pro
ceed to South Africn, died on Monday.
A dispatch to The I tally Chronicle,
dated nt Frere ramp, Sivnday afternoon
at 3 o'clock, says:
"There has been no bombardment o1
Ladysmith today, nor any shelling al
.Chieveley by the Hrltislj puns."
The Ilerlin correspondent of The Ilnilj
Mail pives under reserve n report thnl
45,000 lyddite shells hnve been turned out
by the Krupp works, which are not den
tincd for England, but were ordered somi
time npo by Hr. Iieyds.
Tho Daily Mail has the following dis
patch, dated Sunday, .Inn. 7, from dipt
Town:
"ltordiecht is now garrisoned by 1.00C
rebels, thus releasing the Orange I''ret
State troops for service elsewhere."
The Daily Graphic makes the following
tatemeut regarding the seizures of Ger
man vessels by Uritish warships:
"Germany has addressed two notes t
the Uritish foreign cIIlce chnlletigin,
Great Hiitiiin's right to detain any ves
eels traveling between two neutral ports
These notes have been duly answered.
"The qucen'B government find them
Selves wholly unable to acquiesce in Ger
many's contention. Germany cited a cast
in support of her cou!erilm, but on ex
amination this so called precedent proved
to be quite inapplicable to the sei.urci
under discussion.
"The correspondence between the twe
government rests there, ponding a de
cision by the prize court."
The remarkable revolution in Boer tac
ties has been another complete surprint
to the Uritish, who hud not reckoned ol
the weakened garrison of Ladysmith be
ing subjected to such a courugeous as
rault, and it is realized thut General
White's troops cannot be expected to ,
lengthily prolong such an arduous de-
tense. In some quarters it is considered
unaccountable that General Buller die
not press his attempt to effect a passage
of the Tugeln river while the Boers wer
Kguged northward, and the comments on
his npiMireut supiueness are nowise com
plimentary. Advices from the Modder river say th
Boers continue to extend their works.
and it is estimated that 30,000 men are
required to defend them. j
Little change is apparent in the posi
tion nt Colesberg. Geuerul French re
ported to the wnr office Sunday morn
ing, Jan. 7, that he hud reconnoitered
with a squadron of the Household cav
alry on the Boers' eust flank, two miles
from Achtertank, nnd drew a considera
ble force of burghers, who, being anxious
for their communications with Norval's
Pont, withdrew.

and Lieutenants Wilkins, Carey nnd
White ami 23 men; missing. Captains

Terry won the former title in short or

MANILA, .Tan. H. Lleutennnt J. C
Gillmore of the United States crulset
Yorktown, who wns captured by the in
surgents Inst April nenr Baler, on the
enst const of Luzon, nnd rescued a few
dnys ago by Colonel Luther It. Hare ol
the Thirty-third volunteer Infantry, snt in
the apartment of his sister, Mrs. Ma jot
Price, nt the Hotel Orient e, in Manila,
and told a remarkable story of his eight
months in captivity, ending with his dra
matic deliverance from a death that
seemed inevitable.
Lieutenant Gillmnrc made the following
statement for publication:
"The Filipinos abandoned us on the
night of Iter. 10. We hud reached the
Aliulat river near its source that morn
ing, und the Filipinos rafted us over. Wt
then went down the stream along a rough
trail, guarded by a company of Filipinos
That night we were separated from this
guard, and another company, armed with
MnusiTs. wns nut Iti charge of us. I sus-
pcctctl soinethflig nml questioned the lieu
tenant in command. He said: 'I hnve or
dors from General Tino to shoot you nil.
but my conscience forbids. 1 shall leave
you here.'
"I begged him for two rifles to protect
us from savages, adding thut I would
give- him letters to the Americans, who
would puy him well and keep him from
ull harm. He refused this, however, say
ing that he would not dure to comply.
Soon nfterwnrd be left with his compnny.
"We had seen some savages iu war
pniut around us, nnd wc prepared to fight
them with cobblestones, the only weapons
that were available to us. The next morn
ing we followed the trail of the Filipino
soldiers, feeling thnt it wns better to stick
to them than to be murdered by savages,
but we could not catch up with them.
Then I ordered the men to build rafts in
the hope of minting down the river. It
was a forlorn hope, but 1 knew the river
must empty Into the sea somewhere. I
wns so weak myself that I did not expect
to get out, but 1 thought some of the men
could.
"On the morning of Dec. IS, while we
were working on the rafts, the Americans
enme toward us ycllins. One of my men
shouted, "They nie on us.' He wus lash
ing a raft of bamboos. I, however, knew
it was not the yell of savages, but the yell
of Americans. The rescuing troops
thought we hud Filipino guards and call
ed to us in English to lie down so thut
they could shoot the Filipinos. That was
the finest body of oflieers uud men I ever
saw."
Lleutennnt Gillmore could not speak en
thusiastically enough about the 140 pick
ed men who had rescued hiin and his par
ty. The command spent the day iu making
rafts. Colonel Ilnre thought Lieutenant
Gillmore too weak to live through the trip,
but there wus no alternative. They shot
many rapids, tho men lashing all their ef
fects ami Lieutenant Gillmore sunie vnlu
uhle papers. Only 14 out of 37 rafts sur
vived the first night's experiences, and 80
men were practically unnble to walk
when Vignn was reached.
"The Filipino treutnient of the Span
iards," suid Lieutenuut Gillmore, "was
brutal in the extreme. The insurgents
had old grudges to wipe out against
them. Many talk nbout the reconcentra
dos In Cuba, but I have seen Spaniards
dying at the rute of two or three per day
of starvation in the hospitals nt Vigun. I
have seen Tngnlog officers strike Span
iards in the fuce with whips and revolv
ers." Among the prisoners arriving with
Lieutenuut Gillmore were F. J. Hubert,
Edward Burke nnd J. J. Farley, sailors
from the Urdaneta; Von Galen of the
Baltimore, A. II. Gordon uud George
Sackett of the Third infantry, Leland
Smith aud Frank Stoue of the signal
corps, Hurry Huber of the hospitul corps,
William Bruce and Edward Uoneyman
of the Nevada cavulry, Martiu Brennnn
and James Ctirran of the Sixteenth in
fantry, Albert Bishop of the Third artil
lery aud John O'Brien und David Brown,
civiliuns.
Charles Baker of the Third artillery
wus formerly one of the prisoners, but he
became too weak to travel, and the Fili
pjno guurds bayoneted him during the
lust flight through the uiountuius.
