THE WAR OFFICE AGAIN. London, Jan. 27.—There were rumors in the Military Service Club last night that the War Office possessed much ad- ditional! intelligence which it was deliber - ately holding back. The statement by a veteran officer, late in the evening was to the effect that there was a long casaul y list in reserve, and also that there is some distinctly uofavor- able news which Lord Lansdowne was ua- willing to give out. HEAVY BOER LOSSES. Loxpox, Jan 27.— Despatches from Durban state that the Boer lesses on the Upper Togela during the fighting on Sun~ day last, were very great. , They add that General Warren’s men captured ene hundred and sixty prisoners apd that 13) Boers were found dead ia the trenches.

GATACRE ALL RIGAT, Loxpex, Jan, 27.—The Daily Telegraph has the tollowing: * Queenstewn, Jan. 24.—I have just re- turned from Peuhook. Scou:s report the Boers 1,000 strong at Stormburg, sleo a force of 1,000 at Dordrecht. We hold all the passes, General Gatarace’s position is 4 quite secure.” THE DIAMOND CITY. Loxpoy, Jan’y. 27.— Very little news is published today as to the progress of the campaign.: Speaking generally, Kimberley ie cer- tainly once more coming into prom‘nence} but no reliable intelligence is permitted Diamond city. NO MORSE. LIGHT. Loxpon, Jan. 27,68. m.—Telegrams } published in this morniog’s papers do not throw any light on the mystery of Spion Kop, and no further information has been vouchsafed by the War Office. Cable communieation with South Africa hae ovce more been partly inter~ rupted at a most eritical moment and this fact may probably account for the scarcity of news. In some quartera it is believed’ tha General Warren ip announcing that he was heavily attacked at Spion Kop on Wednesday, added the words, “ position untenable,” and they were intenJed te ap ply to his own position aad not that of the Boers, In the absence of details it is, however, not pessible to form any positive argu- ment. But it is certain that such a man as General Warren would not have order- ed the evacuation of the kopjeif he had net had a very strong reason for doing it. It ig only too probable thet when the news of the check reaches Ladysmith, it will have a most depressing effect upon the whole garrison. CASUALTIES. Loxpoy, Jan. 26.— General Bu!- ler reports that the British casu- alties on January 24th were: killed, officers 6, non-commissioued officer* and men 18; wounded, officers 12, non- commissioned and men 142. Missing—31 men, the killed include Colonel Buchanan Riddell, of the King’s Roya: Rifles. It is not clear whether the casualties in~ elude those at Spion Kop or only those fighticg prier to the Spion Kop eugages ment. Paris, Jan. 26—Reports that the lates; Minard’s Liniment Cures Burns & { clothes and go about naked. MAFEKING IS RELIEVED.

Lorenzo Marquez, Jan.27.—It is re- ported here on good Trausvaa! authority that Mafeking was relieved on Tuesday, January 23. THE SECOND STEAMSHIP. Hauirax, Jan. 27.—Three Fundred and fifty-two mounted Canadians embarked on the steamship Pomeranian this morning for South Africa. Great crowds lined the route of march from the armory to the dockyard. A finer body of men was never seen together here, and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. A ee Sad Deathof a Duke. Lonpon, Jan. 26.—The Duke of Teck | | died alone from pneumonia, wit) physicians and nurses, ail his son: in South Africa. He had been practice ally mad for 18 months, ever since the deat of the duchess, and lived alone at on 2 White Lodge, in Richmond Park, the | Duchess of York, his daughter, seldom | being able to visit him. His madness | took the form of a desire io throw off his Whenever he was left alone he would strip. If he saw abhand onthe street, he wanted to | conduct it.
