London, Oct. 31.?Tho war office has
r?c?iT*4 a dispatch from General White,
eommmsudtng the British forces at
Ladysmitb, reporting that tho Royal
Irish fusilecre, numbering tea mouutaiu
batteries and the Gloucester rogimeut,
were surrounded in tho hills by
the Boers, and after losing heavily,
obliged to capitulate. General White
add* that tho casualties have not been
ascertained yet.
Tbe following is tho text of General
White's dispatch to the war ollice:
"I have to report a disaster to the
column sent by me to take a position on
a hill lying to the left of the troops. In
these operations today the Royal Irish
Fuaileers, numbering ten mountain batterios
and the Gloucestershire regiment,
were surrounded in too htUs, and utter
losing houvtly, had to capitulate. Tho
casualties have not ret been ascertained.
A man of the fu.-ileers employed as
a hospital orderly came in under a (lag
of truco with a letter frotu tho survivors
of the column, who asked for assistance
to bury the dead.
"I fear there is no doubt of tho truth
of tho reporr. I formed it piun in tho
carrying out of which tho uitustor occurred.
and I am alone responsible for
the plan. Thcro is no blatuo whatever
to the troops, as the position was tin
itDuuie.
General Whito sends si list of the < Picera
taken prisoners, 41 i:i all, eoino i f
whom were wounded.
While minor reverses were not wholly
unexpected, nothing like ti;o st iggor.:- ?

the press dispatches published by tc.o
papers.
"Tho world is nv.v beginning to realize
that tiio war oft ice !:ueiv what it was
about when it bewail mailing preparation
on such a vast seal :." said Major
Scolell. '"Tho peoiuo generally i .*:
pecttd that the BS|(Ts wou d show a
bold :ro:it and put tip a strong light,
but uohody thought ihoy would show
themselves such goal strategists. If
Joubcrt is iloing it. and there is no ivat;

ag-ncrul of groat ability. We anttcipa
ton Ener successes of u more or less
important nature at tho beginning o.
lios.titties, but we did nor expect them
to annihilate entire regiments.
"Wuilo we can fcrra no uccurato conclusions
from tho meager press d;spat
lies, yot it is undoubtedly a fact
rhat tho Irisii fusileers and tho Gloucester
must have been literally cur to
pieces, for they would not have surrendered
until they were all down.
Both of tho commands liavo most excellent
reputations as brave lighters and
they would not have given up had there
been any possible chance to light their
way through. A strong proof of this is
tho message sent to General White for
assistance to bury the dead This shows
that thore was a large number of casualties
and that the force lmd beeu
greatly weakened by tho Are of tho
enemy.
"While tiie loss to the British is severe,
the greatest damage done is tho
deplorabio moral effect tho di-nster will
have on the South Air: can situation. In
tho first place it will prolong the war;
how long. 1, oi course, can express no
opinion, but that it will extend the

is just barely possible, too, that trouble
may now arise m Cape Colony, for the
Dutch population there is large, and
I nearly all the British soldiers have beau
sent to the front.
"But General Sir Kedvers liullor, who
has already arrived at Capo Town, will
soon have his entire army corps with

I Sir Thomas and a few friends left the
Fifth Aveuue hotel at 8:110 o'c'ock to gj
I to the Alitor House to moot thi loving
| cup committee. Wllou the Astor llou<o

of the loving cup committee, and
the band played as the carriages woo
driven up iu front of the bote'. Tne
I party remained but a few minutes at
' the hotel. Tho band, followed by the
[ carriages, started down Broadway playing
a lively air. TT
All tho way to tho American line pier
Sir Thomas Lipton got a reception that
surprised him People lined up oti the
suiowalks and cheered him, utid many
rushed out to suako hands with Sir
Thomas as his carriage slowly passed.
At Washington market a lor- of tuarketmen
m their working clothes ran out
and stopped the carriage, making S:r

street sweepers and verniers ami Sir
Tnomas smiled as tie shook hands right
and l?fc.
Sir Thomas and his party ascended to
the second floor of the American line
pi r, where a platform had been erected
! The long floor had been decorated with
banuers and bunting, and a large crowd
had assembled, among them many
women. On the platform was a floral
representation of tho Shamrock with
htiu of immortelles cud sails of white
.side. The sea was made of white anu
vol low chrysanthemums and rod roses.
The Vessel was 4 feet long. At tho
masthead tioated the fl.ig of the Royul
Uistor Yacht club.
When Sir Thomas and the others had
ascended tho platform, ex Mayor Willie
ni L. Strong, chairman of the loving
cup commit ice, signalled for silence and
John M. Beach, one the committeemen,
formally advised Sir Thomas of the loving
cup that is to bo presented to him,
adding that he aud everyone also trustod
that Sir Thomas would soon rot urn.
Sir 'Thomas was cheered half a d.< . ?*?
times beforo li3 was allowed to reply,
warn ho said:
"It is imoossihle for 1110 to convey at
once liiv feelings at this moment. This
extra* rdinary reception that I have received
has gone to my heart. Tue great
kindness shown ma hero has endeared
the American people to me, aud I am
proud to be held in such esieem by yon.
I will always cherish the cup which
19 to follow me and I will prize ir, I assure
you, much more than I would the
America's cup.
"As you know, I came here with desums
on on*- of your most valued possesions.
I did not accomplish my purpis*.
Cut I have l>eeu thoroughly compau
atod. It was a square and fair
race ami 1 was squarely ami fairly
licked. I could not have received kiuder
or inoro courteous treatment.
"I urn very sorry to bo leaving you.
buc I siuceroly thauk you for your kindness
and goodness "
Sir Tuomus shook bauds with all who
could get near enough as ho pushed his
way ro the gangplank und a great cheer
went up as ho stepped on the plank

hava won tbe good wishosaud the heart
of the American people, and I shall
prize that'inoro than tho cup."
