The Queen’s Christmas. Lonpon, Dec. 26 —For the first time in thirteen years, Queen Victoria and the | Royal family spent Christmas day at | Windsor. ‘The Duke and Duchess of Connaught anu the children of the Pria- cess Henry of Battenberg were of the party. Not only was there @ baron of beef arrany- ed, but there was alsoa magnificent Christ- inas tree, with wany colored candles for children, in which the Queen evinced the greatest interest.
It wae, in fact, her expreas desire that the grandchildren who assembled about her today should not have their Chrietmas marred by the events which have saddened her own heart; and the festivities at Windsor Castle, alibough tinged witn sadness, such as fills all English bearte, carried no suggestion of sorrow to the children.
The keynote of the festivities at Wiod- | eor today was the Queen’s unaltera ple de- | yotion to and faith in that empire which she believes will ultimately echieve the highest aims asd ambition of her ua- selfish reign.

“ Tbe French attache, Villebois, ond the German at'ache, Braun, say the fight could not have been improved upon by the armies of Evrope. Generals Botta and Trichart were always at the most daager- ous points of the fighting.

“Such a tremendous cannonade has seldom been heard. The veldt for miles was covered with dead and wounded. It was a most crushing British defeat. Nine of the canoou have since been brought across the river.
