Defeat of Gatacre the Most Severe Re pulse British Have Suffered. A GREAT MANY PRISONERS TAKEN. General’! Force of 2,000 Greatly Reduced by Dutch Strategy — Many Ofllcere Among the Wounded—BrltUh Com* inander Bays lit Will Wire the Full Casualties Later. LONDON, Dec. 11.—The war office publishes the following dispatch from General Forestier-Walker at Capetown. Gatacre reports: “Deeply regret to Inform you that 1 met with a serious reverse in the at tack on Stromburg. I was misled as to the enemy’s position by the guide3 and found impracticable ground. "Casualties, so far as known at the present, are: “Second battalion, Irish Royal Ri fles—Wounded: Lieutenant Colonel Fager, Major Eaton, Captain Bell, Cap tain Kelly, Lieutenant Stevens Lieu tenant Barnardston. "Suffolk Regiment—Wounded: Sec ond Lieutenant Maynard and twelve men. Missing: Captain Weir, Lieu tenant Christee, Second Lieutenant Rodney, two hundred and ninety men. "Fourth Field Battery—Severely wounded: Lieutenant Lewis and three men. Slightly wounded: Two men. “Seventy-seventh Field Battery— Killed: One gunner, wounded; Major Perceval. "Northumberland Fusileers—Missing Major Stevens, Captain Fletcher, Cap .tajn^Morely, Second Lieutenant Wake, SecomlXleiiTcnant'T'ouTS'fliiTTle'ift’c.Td'irri Radcliffe, three hundred and sixty-five i officers and men. “Royal Berkshire Regiment—Killed: One private. “Tho remainder of my casualties will be wired as soon as ascertained. ’ | LONDON, Dec. 11.—(New York j World Cablegram.)—The Post says: The good news which comes today from Ladysmith is more than counter balanced by the very serious reverse encountered at Stormburg by Gatacre. The Boers in the latter movement of fered no opposition till our men reached the impregnable position which they were defending, when they opened a hot and unexpected fire. The engagement began at 4:15 a. m. Sunday and lasted till 7 when, after an artillery duel, our men withdrew and marched back to Molteno. So ran the first dispatch, giving merely an impression of a fruitless adventure and leaving us utterly un prepared for the bare figures of our loss which came in the second report. All the advices that have so far reached us make the fight at Storm burg take rank after Nnicholson Nek as the most serious reverse of the war. We don't yet know its full pro portions, but judging from what we have the worst must remain behind. Already the list of missing is close to 600. In the Second Northumber land Fusileers six officers are re ported missing. There are no de tails to the First Dorsetshire regiment of whose presents with Gatacre we learn for the first time that 306 men are reported miss ing and there are no details as to of ficers. It is impossible, therefore, to avoid the conclusion that we don’t know the full extent of the reverse. The moral of this unfortunate affair is that we have been trying to press home on the government the fact that men are wanted. Men must be sent, cavalry and horse artillery most es pecially, unless in sheer parsimony we are to throw away a corner of the empire.

MRS. LAUE TELLS THE TRUTH. She Aiaerta that Frank Dlnsinore Killed Lane and Mrs. Dinsmore—He Flrat Poisoned His Wife, Then Carried Her Body to the Kitchen—LnneSl.it While Asleep in Bed. KEARNEY, Neb., Dec. 9.—(Special to the Omaha Bee.)—The mystery sur rounding the double minder that.oc curred at Odessa, ten miles west of Kearney, Monday night, in which the lives of Lillian Dinsmore and Fred Laue were taken, has been cleared up. Mrs. Laue, the wife of the murdered man, made a confession, in which she charged Frank L. Dinsmore, husband of the murdered woman, with commit ting both crimes. The confession was made only after several hours’ work with Mrs. Laue by a brother and an uncle of the dead man. As soon as Mrs. Laue had confessed to them D. Laue, the uncle mentioned, at whose house they were staying, hitched up his team and brought her to Kearney, arriving here at 2 o’clock this morn ing. County Attorney Nye was called upon and met Mrs. Nye and the broth er and uncle of the dead man at the city hall, where the confession was taken down in writing and signed by the witnesses. Attorney Nye refuses to give out any of the contents of t.ie confession, and the following was obtained from a person who was a witness to the con fession before coming to Kearney and also when it was taken down in writ ing. ".If xeema that fcr several months Dinsmore has been infatuated with Mrs. Laue, and on different occasion has tried to get her to elope with him, which, however, she refused to do. It also appears from statements made by hor and Mrs. Dinsmore’s brothers that Dinsmore possessed hypnotic power, which power Mrs. Laue claims to have been under for the last six months. Mrs. Dinsmore’s brothers say that he has had their sister under his power for several years. Dinsmore is charged with laying the plans for the killing of both persons and Mrs. Laue says he told her what to say at the Inquest. Dinsmore wanted to commit the crime Thanksgiving night, she says, but was persuaded to put it off by Mrs. Laue. Monday night Mr. and Mrs. Dins more had retired at their usual time, as also had Mr. Laue. Shortly after ward Dinsmore came into the kitchen where Mrs. Laue was sitting and told her that part of the deed was done, and that he would have to finish the job, at once going to Laue’s room and shooting him while he was still in bed. Dinsmore then brought his wife down stairs and placed her on the floor in front of the kitenen stove, where she lay until she had been examined by a doctor. Mrs. Dinsmore’s death was caused by poison, probably prussic acd, as a receipt fer its taking is reported to have been found in a desk by the man sent to Odessa by the Omaha Elevator company to take Dinsmore’s place. The brothers of Mrs. Dinsmore say they spent thousands of dollars in procuring evidence against Dinsmore to show their sister that he was unfit for her to marry, but he possessed the power to make her love him. The confession of Mr3. Laue ha3 caused great sensation and rumors that an attempt will be made to lynch Frank Dinsmore are flying thick and fast. Extra guards are on duty at the county jail, loaded witn repeating Winchester rifles. Sheriff Funk is de termined to protect the prisoner re gardless of consequences. Frank Dinsmore was taken to North Platte for safekeeping. He was ex tremely nervous and frightened and wanted the guards to keep close to the cab in which he was taken from the jail to the train. He will be kept there until his preliminary trial. COMPARISON Of APPROPRIATIONS. Estimates for This Year S 114,5598,578 More Than L«t Year.

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Dec, 8.— A lingering whiff of luminous fra grance from banks of splendid flow ers; a few heartfelt sentences of lov ing eulogy; a loving look at the past and all that mortality ever claimed of Senator Monroe L. Hayward was tear fully consigned to the marble sarco phagus that may mark his resting place until time shall be no more. It was the expressed wish of the family that the funeral should be as private as possible. In some respects it was, as the ceremony was decidedly simple, although prolonged. During the hours of between 10 a. m. and 12 m. the remains lay in state in the front parlor. Great bunches of rare exotics and sincerely suggestive de signs rested on every table and over the massive metallic casket sheathed in deep velvet. The face of the dead senator was but little wasted and the color was an animated gray, devoid of the yellow transparency of death. Hundreds passed around the bier. As soon as the parlors were vacated and the family spent therein the most agonizing hour that comes to mortals. The mainstay among them was the gallant son, William, who sought to comfort his mother for the absence of her other son in the Philippines. The services were conducted by Rev. H. L. House of the Baptist church. Scripture reading was given by Rev. C. M. Shepherd, a Methodist pastor. The eulogy by Mr. House was elo quent and prolonged. Passing the public career of the dead senator he pointed out the many sterling attri butes that made him great and strong. His home was a typical Christian home of a generation ago, where ro bust and manly virtues were incul cated. He was a type of that Amer ican citizen of whom we all are proudest. He possessed the spirit that made the people of England love their ' grand ofd man. He' was a man of the people, a student, a thinker, a hard worker. Above all he was honest and possessed the genuineness of life; he was a born orator, public spirited, en terprising man, loving husband, indul gent father, clean politician and true patriot. The cortege was the longest ever seen in the city. It extended over a mile of streets. In the carriages com prising the guard of honor were the following honorary pallbearers: C. F. Manderson, W. S. Summers, C. O. Whedon, Byron Clark, William Mc Lennen and G. M. Lambertson. Company C, national guard, and William Baumer Post, Grand Army of the Republic, formed a guard at the grave. Rev. House consigned the dust to the tomb amid tears of sincere sor row and the grave was left to be cov ered with earth by the sexton in soli tude. Mrs. Hayward was not seen during the obsequies except when she passed with other members of the family from an upper apartment to her closed carriage. One notable circumstance that points to the simplicity of the ceremonies was that there was no music. NOTHING HEARD FROM MACRUM lielleved that He Has Not Learned of Successor's Appointment. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Since the notice received about two weeks ago of the objection interposed by the Boer government to the attempt of United States Consul Macrum at Pretoria to disburse certan sums of money pro vided by the British government to afford the British prisoners there with small necessities and luxuries during their confinement the State depart ment has heard nothing on this sub ject. Upon being informed of the ob jection the department instructed Mr. Macrum to protest against it, but it is not known how he has fared since then. In fact, the department has been unable to obtain an answer from him to any of its communications of re cent date and it does not know even if he has received notice of the grant ing of his leave of absence. WOOD TO SICCCCD BROOKE, Reported lie Will Be Named Military Governor of Cuba. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—General Leonard Wood had a conference with the secretary of war respecting his fu ture.

C., Dec. 8—A warrant was issued today in favor of the governor of Wisconsin for $73,092 for the second installment of the amount due that state for aid to the United States in raising the volunteer army for the war with Spain.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Represent ative Hepburn of Iowa introduced in the house today his bill of the last congress to appropriate $140,000,000 for the construction of the Nicaragua can a) Representative Sherman of New York reintroduced the anti-scalping bill. Mr. Sprague of Massachusetts intro duced a bill to retire army officers be low the rank of major general, who served in the civil war, as of the grade next above that which they held at the time of retirement. Louie Ostertag, an Atchison hoy who served on the Olympia, says the Kansas City Journal, says it is all a r* lie about Dewey's ships drawing oft ' from the fight while the men ate a hearty breakfast. He says the ships drew off all right, but the men were too excited and too exultant to eat a mouthful. And sure enough Louie’* account sounds human-like and natu ral.

Mr. Isaac Brock, the Oldest Man in the United States. Mr. Isaac Brock, of McLennan Tex., has attained the great age years, having been born in 1788. He is an ardent friend to Peruna and speaks of it in the fo’lowing terms: “During my long life I have known a great many remedies for coughs, colds, catarrh and diarrhoea. 1 had always sup posed these affections to be different dis eases, but I have learned from Dr. Hart man's books that these affections are the same and are properly called catarrh. “As for Dr. Hartman's remedy, Peruna, I have found it to be the best, if not the only reliable remedy for these affections. “Peruna has been my stand-by for many years, and I attribute my good health and my extreme aye to-— this remedy. It exactly meets all my requirements. “I have come to rely upon it almost en tirely for the many little things for which I need medicine. I believe it to be espe cially valuable to old people.” Isaac Brock. Catarrh is the greatest enemy of old age. A person entirely free from catarrh is sure to live to a hale and hearty old age.
