London, Dec 19 ?A dispatch to Tho Daily Mail from Nauuwpoort, Cape Colony dated Dec 16, says : "The Boers brought a big gun to bear on the British near Vaar Kop.

FIRE IN FLORENCE Most Disastrous in History of That Flourishing City. "The Empire ie in peril " That is the meaning of the announcemente made yesterday by the British war office England at last realizes that she has the hardest struggle of the century before her ; that her domin? ion, her world prestige, her future as a great power are at stake, and that the occasion calls for the supremest effort, the most unmeasured expendi? ture of men and money. 80 her greatest soldier. Gen Lord Roberts, the victor of Kandahar, ie given eupreme command in Sooth Africa, and her ablest fighter of more recent years, Gen Lord Kitchener, the viotor of Khsrtoum, is msde the chief of staff; all the remainder of the reserve is called out and ordered to Africa ; eleven battalions of mili? tia are virtually asked to volunteer ; a "strong force of volunteers to be selected from the yeomanry regi? ments" will be formed for South African service ; and notice is given that the aid of the colonial forces will be appreciated and accepted The forces already in South Africa number about 10u,000 ; the reserves recently and now ordered over will aggregate probably 50,000 more and the voluuteers and colonial con; tiogents may augment the grand total to 200,000 men All these are none too many for tho task in hand "The Empire is in peril " Its fate will be decided in South Africa, and in the next few months. It will take over a month to place in South Africa Gen Lord Roberts and his reinforcing army. All this time the revolt in Cape Colony will be epreading and strengthening on lees the advances on Kimberley and Ladysmitb shall be abandoned and the British forces reconcentrated in the oolony. Gea Gatacre may be attsoked at any time and Gen Methu en's rear assailed and his communi cations broken. British victories on the Modder and Tugela rivere and the relief of the beleaguered citiee would have aome moral effect in neutralizing Capo Colony, so the aggressive will probably be resumed on both lines as soon as possible and the chances taken as to the colonial revolt.

Washington, Deo 17?Lieut Tbomae . Brumby, flag lieutenant to Admiral Dewey during tbe Maniic campaign, wbo bas beeo ill with typhoid fever for several weeks, died at Garfield hospital shortly after 6 o'olock this evening Tbe death of Lieut Brnmby while oot unexpected was a great shook to Admiral Dewey. The relations of the two men for several years past have beeo very intimate and a strong friend ship had grown up between them Lieut Brumby weot out to the Asiatic station with the admiral and had beeo there with bim until they both return? ed to the United States several months ago. Io bis oapacity as flag lieutenant to the admiral, Lieut Brumby was thrown with his chief practically all tbe time and aoted as his personal repre sentatative io many matters of detail delegated to him by tbe oommaodiog effioer. He was regarded by Admiral Dewey as a bright, eoergetio and oapable assistant, wbile tbe devotion of tbe latter to tbe admiral was something marvelous. Tbe burden of bis thoughts during tbe latter cay of his illness when bis mind was racked with delirium seemed to be regardiog bie work for tbe admiral. Tbc lieutenant's present illness da ed from about the 27th of November, tbe first symptom beiog nothing more tbao a cold which, however, failed to yield to treatment, and soon afterwards be went to tbe Garfield hospital where he died. Admiral Dewey was unremitting in his attentions to him until bis ooodi tioo became precarious and visitors were not allowed tu see bim. Some days ago Mr* W. 1 Hay ward, of Marietta, Ga, a sister, was summooed, and Thursday she was joined by her busband, both remaining with the lieutenant until he died. Tbe heuten ant's aged mother is still living in Marietta, Ga. Tbe father, who ia dead, waa a oolooel cf the Fourteenth Georgia regiment in the Confederate army. Lieut Brumby was 44 years of age aod unmarried. Nothing definite has been decided concerning tbe funeral except tbat the body will be taken to Georgia tor interment leaving bere tomorrow night for Atlanta. It is eotirely improbable i bat Admiral ?, Dewey will accompany tbe remains but will designate bis secretary, Lieut H. H. Caldwell, to perform tbat duty. Lieut Brumby was appointed a naval cadei from Georgia, entering the service on tht 29th of November, 1873, and his present commission dates from tbe 24;h of August, 1892 Practically all the time during the last two years he bas beeo with Admiral Dewey. In his report of the battle of Manila Admiral Dewey spoke io very compli? mentary terms of the services aod gallantry of bis flag lieuteoant aod recommended that be be advanced some numbers oo the list of lieutenants. His recommendatioo was adopted by tbe navy department aod the name sent to the senate but together with a num? ber of other promotions made by the department failed to be acted opoo. (bo promotioo recommended placed bim about 13 on tbe list of lieutenants aod had it beeo confirmed be would i?**s less tbao a year from oow have reached tbe grade of lieuteoant oommaoder. Tbe lieuteoaot's death is the third of those who were ohsely associated with Dewey at tbe battle of Maoila wbo have died siooe tbat time, namely : Capt Gridley, Commaoder Wood aod Lieut Brumby Lieut Brumby was presented a sword by tbe legislature of Georgia on the 26ih of October. He remained in Georgia some days after tbat aod returned to Washington about tbe mid? dle of November ^ Gen Gatacre's laet report bringe the number of losses by capture at Stormberg up to 665. He notes no additions to the killed and wounded, who by hie first report numbered 2 and 25 respectively. Tbe Boers say they hold 672 prisoners.
