Tlio report that Oencrnls Duller and Clery had entered Lnilysmltli. thus relieving the hosleged garrUon there, and that General Dul ler had captured 10,000 Doers, Is dis credited by oRlclals here. It is evi dently a canard. Late dispatches place the British loss In killed, wounded nnd captured at Modder Itlvor at 832. A press correspondent, telegraphing from Moddor Htver under date of Dec. 13, says: Ambulances started early yesterday morning, undor a flag of truce, to collect the wounded and bury the dead who fell at Magersfonteln. Brigadier General Wauchope, who led the Highland brigade, was found dead near the trenches, shot In the chest and thigh. A few wounded were found near the trenches. Several wounded Doors were taken to the British hos pital. The side of the hill and Immediate neighborhood of the Doer trenches showed dead bodies all about. One wounded Door Informed tho corre spondent that their loss was terrible, 'the whole Scandinavian contingent was destroyed. Judging from Infor mation gleaned from the Doer wound ed and from prisoners taken In differ ent parts of the field, the Doer losses must exceed 700. The destruction wrought by the naval guns was enor mous. Word was passed along the Boer lines to prepare to retreat at nightfall. All confess that It was their greatest loss during the war. The Drltish troops have returned to Modder Hlver, owing to the lack of water near the position held yester day. "Lord Methuen'a check, following General Gatacre's repulse," says the Cape Town correspondent of The Dally News, "has had a most depressing ef fect upon the Loyalists, who are by no means a growing body. They are filled with dark forebodings. Dutch disaf fection Is rapidly growing. A large section Is restless and would need but little persuasion to Join tho Boers. There are disturbing reports from the eastern districts of Cape Colony, where many secret meetings have been held. The Imperial authorities are arming the loyal farmers In the Stutterhelm nnd Bedford districts." The newspapers are calling upon the government to employ the Cunarders as well as the White Star steamers as transports, seeing the urgent necessity for getting more men to the cape as speedily as possible. Forty thousand men could still be sent from England without calling upon the militia for foreign service. The militia effective is 100,000, and from this body 20,000 carefully selected men could easily be bpared for South Africa. Moreover, the colonies are again proffering as sistance. A Night of Terror.

Aurrr In Itrfunil tlir TiTriily .Mllllima f'nlil timlu and llrnnt Tree orrn to 1'iirti. Washington. Dec. 16. Two Joint resolutions were Introduced In the house of representatives yesterday t Representative Williams, of Missis sippi, which are the result of eonsultn tlon amons; a number of Democratic leaders In the house and are under stood to be expressive of their general position on the Philippines. The first resolution declares the In tention and purpose to recognise the Independence of the Filipinos and withdraw our land and sea forces pro vided the Independent government agrees to refund the W.000.000 paid by the United States to Spain, to give us suitable naval -and coaling sta tions and grant In perpetuity free ac cess to their ports. Another section pledges our friendly assistance and also pledges against foreign Interfer ence or aggression for ten years, dur ing which time the foreign affairs of the Island are to be under American control. The other resolution asks for In formation relative to the conclusion of n treaty with the sultan of Jolo and provides for an Inquiry by the Judici ary committee as to whether the con stitutional provisions against slavery and the statutory provisions against polygamy apply to the Sulu people. The senate yesterday, by a decisive vote and practically without discus sion, laid on the table the Pettlgrew resolution of Inquiry as to whether or not United States forces had recog nized the Filipino Insurgents' flag and had turned over Spanish soldiers to the insurgents, it agreed to the house Christmas tpccss resolution and agreed to meet today to receive reports on the composition of Its committees for this congress. Senator Lodge, chairman of the sen ate committee on the Philippines, said last night to a reporter: "It will ultimately become the duty of the Philippines committee, I suppose, to deal with all questions connected with the Islands and to consider for submission to the senate the policy which the United States should pursue In regard to them. But these are. of course, questions of the future. The paramount necessity for the present moment Is the restoration of order In the Islands, the ending of the war and the extinction of the last embers of tlie Insurrection, which has now degenerat ed Into mere brlgnndnge. This Is all work for the army, and la an oxecutlvo function. Until peaco and order are absolutely restored there ought not to be any congressional action. The only Immediate duty for the committee that I ran see now Is the gathering together and putting Into compact form all pos sible Information In regard to the Isl ands, so that when the time comes for congressional action congress may have all knowledge obtainable which will enable It to act Intelligently." BROOKE'S FRIENDS DISPLEASED. Think the Cnhnii Mllltnrr Rmernor Ynm I lljnxlly Tri'ilteil, Havana, Dec. 15. Govornor General prooke Is Indignant at the reports cabled from Washington which repre sent mm as having. protested against tho order of the president relieving him of the military governorship of Cuba. He says: "I am a soldier, nnd obey orders. I would direct the arrest of any officer who protested against my order, and would always render to a superior authority the respect which I would exact from a subordinate." Hla friends, however, express the opinion that he has not been treated with duo consideration. They think that somo Intimation should have been given him of the contemplated change, whereas, as a matter of fact, tho first knowledge he had that he was to bo removed and to bo succeeded by Major General Wood was derived from news paper dispatches. 9lhlp- Oupo.en f.'nrrencr Illl.
