“TO WED WILLIAM Queen of Holland to Be United with me the Kaiser's Heir. THE POLITICAL RESULTS Holland Would Be Practically Annoxed to Germany and Will Make the Latter a Groat Naval Power,’ Seoond Only to England. New York, Dec. 1.—A Berlin cable says: After the return of the Kaiser to Berlin a report was spread that Queen Wilhelmina of the Neth- erlands was to be married to the crown prince of Germany. The re- port says German diplomats are al- ready speculating on the vast po- litical importance of the match. It would probably mean the adding of another country, small yet of pow- érful influence in the European body politic, to the great German empire. If the Netherlands became a part of Germany, it would result in ‘naval advantages such as no other coun- try could boast of on the European continent, First-class dressmaking at Eagle’s ‘To Cure a Cold In One Day Take Laxative Bromine Quinine Tablets.

Up to 2 o'clock this afternoon only the bare total of 438, of which number 73 were killed, had been given out. So it is impos- sible to deduce from the ‘‘butcher’s bill” such information regard- ing the nature of the fight as details as to the losses of the differ- ent units generally indicated. From General -Forestier-Walker’s dispatch it is proved that all reports of General Methuen’s advance after the battle of Modder river were premature, though with the railroad working he should not be long in constructing a tem- porary bridge. His enforced delay will doubtless be of considera- ble service in giving his hard-pushed column‘needful rest and in - allowing the acrival of reinforcements, of which he must be in need after three such fights, placing hors de combat upwards of __ashevsand. men_out, of less than seven thousand. The revised list of the Modder river casualties among non- commissioned officers and men is divided af follows: Ninth lan- cers one wounded; engiacers, two wounded; artillery, three killed, 25 wounded; Second Coldstreams, 10 killed, 56 wounded; Third grenadiers, nine killed, 38 wounded, four missing; Scots guards, 10 killed, 37 wounded,’ one missing; Northumberland fusileers, 11 killed, 31 ded; First Nortt berlands, three wounded; Second Yorkshire, 9 killed, 44 wounded; First North Lancashire, three killed, 14 wounded; Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders, 15 killed, 95 wounded, two missing; First Cold- streams, 20 wounded; South. African Reserve, one wounded; medical corps, one wounded. Gencral Forestier-Walker’s t that the Canadi marksmen and other reinforcements have been pushed forward to the neighborhood of the Orange river to protect General Methu- en’s line of communications has relieved much anxiety here, where it was fully expected the Boers would attempt to attack the vul- nerable points of the line of communication. _ The Advance in Natal. The latest news from Natal indicates that the bulk of the Ladysmith relief force has arrived at Frere, though there is con- siderable conjecture as to the whereabouts of General Clery, whose movements have not been chronicled lately. It is surmised in some quarters that he may reappear in a totally unexpected quar- ter, on the flank or rear of General Joubert’s force, which is sup- posed to be concentrated at Grobelaars kloof, north of the Tugela As General Hillyard’s advance guard was in touch with developments should not be river. the Boers as long ago as Tuesday, delayed. Dund 1d’s ted force on Ni bi 28, ied by four guns, went in pursuit of a body of Boers returning to Co- lenso. They followed the Boers to within two and one-half mites of Colerso, when the Boers replied to the British shells with long range guns. There were no casualties. The Colenso bridge was afterwards blown up. . Another detachment of 3000 British troops sailed for South Africa today. Owing to the phenomenal sale of newspapers consequent on the war a paper famine is threatened, It is reported that Ameri- can supplies failed temporarily. London, Dec. 2.—According to a speeial dispatch from Cape Town, General Joubert was killed November toth, but General Buller’s dispatch of November 28th showed that General White was in communication with General Joubert, or somebody person- ating him, about November 19th. Dec. 2.—The British government has bought 300,000 cases of canned meats of American packers since the Boer war Began, or 7,900,000 cans, one-third of which has been shipped as soon as it could be delivered and inspected, The Brit- ish government demands re-inspection before going on board ship at New York by disinterested parties. _—_ — New York, AN ARMY: YIELDS Insurgent General Surrenders with His Whole Province.
