Loypox, Nov. 3.—General White has cabled the War Office that in the engage-~ ment on Farguhar’s Farm, near Lady- 30th, when Lieut.- Co!. Carleton’s coiumn was compelled to Surrender, six cCflicers were killed and Among the noncom., missioned officers and men who capitulats ed, 54 were killed and 231 wounded. Lo»pon.

Goveroment of Natal announcing that communicatioa with Ladysmith has been interrupted since half-past two yesterday afteruoon. This is not regarded by the War Office however, 8 in any wise confirming tbe rumour of the complete investment of Ladysiwith or the capture of Colenso. The Lendon Times says that Genera) White’s force will shortly be surrovnded,if pot surrounded already. Such a condi tion of affairs wil] probably be brought about by the Boers, in fact it is looked 4 up@n as a matter of course that they wil! surround General White’s force in Lady- sm ‘th. But that he will be forced to rurrender is another question. It his command is handled with ordinary prudence it is thought that his surrender will be hardly creditable, assuming thas he has a sufh- ciency ofamunition and sappties.

Tbe morning papers are divided in their Opinions as to whether White’s latest list of easualties includes the lossee of Lieutenant Colonel Carleton’s column bes fore its surrender. The preponderance of opinion inctiues to the idea that these are not included. It is reported that a Boer force from Roomel Shcort is making its -way throagh Zululand. This is held to indicate an in- tention of seizing the railwsy between Coleozo and Pietermaritzburg, if it has not already been reized. The real question now for the British public is, can General White hold out ten days, ortwo weeks, until corps arrive ? Less asxiety would be felt on bis ac- copnt were it not that every day brings « fresh list of caeua!ties, proving that much has been coucealrd a3 to the real state of affairs.

Loxpvox, Nov. 3.—The War Office bas issued a statemeat declaring that “here is no cause for anxiety. The report of the disaster published in Paris, Berlin and other places cannot have come from South Africa,as al} cable com - twounications have to pass through the haods of a military censor, who would at once reporttothe War Uffice any euch disaster. The London Times admits that General White’s force is surrounded. It bepes, however, that General White can playa waiting game uctil General Buller arrives with refreshments. From Cape Town comes the information that General Buliey and part ofhis staff have lef: by train for East London, where he boards the Dunatter Casile for Durban. This bowever,:s uotubstantia- ted at the War Office. Acsumivg, however, that he his. the situation as a vist to Durban was not a part of Gewera) Bulier’s plao. It is not thought probable that Buller will go to Ladysmith alone, and the omly explanation is that be intends to take a portion of the Army Corps to Durban end proceed at Ladysmith, which will enat.l- the Nat+l forces to take the offensive. In diplomatic circles, iv is not thoughi that the foreign powers will intervene during the progress of the war, but when the final settlement comes they will takea stand in the event of the Boers being final- ly defeated and the English annexing the new territory, Then the Kuropean powers willstep ia and demand compensatious nearer home. {tis rumored that France is already making active preparations, having called out the Army corps located in Algiers.
