Bravely Contested by 0ur Soldiers Against ~Vastly Superior Numbers--The British

Reported to Have been Very Heavy

Loimos. ost., s1._[spe°ia11.-Aii

England was shocked today by the an-

nouncementtrom the War Otiice that in the battle at Ladysmith on londay

the Royal Irish Fusilisrs, the 10th Hountaia Battery and the Gloucester- shire Regiment were surrounded by overwhelming numbers, and after los- ing heavily were compelled to capitu. late.

The Beers thus got between 1.500

and 2,000 prisoners and captured ive screw guns.

General White telegraphs: “I formed a plan, in the carrying out

efwhich disaster occurred and I alone _ am responsible. N o blame to the troops as the position was untenable.”

This loss will greatly cripple General

White and may compel his retirement from Ladysmith.

_ The War Odicehas notified General Bullet that extra troops will be for-

warded to make good the losses.

The Boer loss in killed and wounded T

is estimated at between 900 and 1,000.
