General Duller was attempting to
cross the Tugela river. Finding' it
impossible to effect hia object he or
dered a retirement in order to avoid
greater lotsea. lie left eleven guns
behind.
London, Dec. 13. The following ia
the text of General Duller's dispatch
announcing hia reverse:
"Ciieveley Camp, Dec. 15.-6:20 p.
m. I regret to report a serious re
verse. 1 moved in full strength from
our camp near Cheveley at 4 this a m.
There are two formidable places in
the Tugela river and it was my inten
tion to force a passage through one of
them. They are about two miles
apart.
"My intention was to force one or
the other with one brigade, supported
by a central brigade. General Hart
was to attend the left d. if t. General
Hildyard thu right road and General
Lyttleton was to t:ike the center and
to support either. Ewlv in the day I
taw that General Hart would not be
able to force . passage and I directed
him to withdraw. He had, however,
attacked with great gallantry and bis
leading battalion, the Connaught Han
gers, I fear, suffered a great deal. Col
onel I- G. Drooke was seriously
wounded.
Orders an Advance.
I then ordered General Hildya-d
to advance, which he did. and hia lead
ing regiment, the East Surrey, occu
pied Colenso t-tation and the houses
near the bridge. At that moment I
heard that the whole artillery I htd

teenth and Sixty sixth field bitteries
and six naval 12 pounder quick-firer?,
um.er Colonel L ng had advanced
clo-e to the river, in Long's desire to
bo within effective range. It proved
to be full of the enemy, who suddenly
opened a galling fire at close range,
killing all their horses, and the gun
ners were compelled to stand to their
gun9. Some of the wagon teams got

however, was too severe and only two
were saved by Captain Schofle'.d and
some drivers whose names I will fur
nish.
"Another most gallant attempt,with
three team?, was made by an officer
who-e name I will obtain. Of the
eighteen horses thirteen were killed
and as several drivers were wounded
I would not allow another attempt, as
it seemed that they would be a shell
mark, scrificing life to a gtdlant at
tempt to force the passage. Upsup
ported by artillery, I directed the
troops to withdraw, wnich they did in
good order.
"Throughout therday a considerable
force of the enemy was pressing on my
right flank, but was kept back by
mounted men under Lord Dundonald
and part of General Barton's brigade.
The day was intensely hot and most
trying for the troops, whose conduct
was excellent. We have abandoned
ten eruna and lost by shell fire one.
The losses in General Hart's brigade
are heavy, although the proportion of
severely mounded I hope, ia not large.
The Fourteenth and Sixty-sixth field
batteries also suffered severe losses.
We have retired to our camp at Chev

THE BURNING QUESTION.
To the Editor of The News:
Just at this time when we are about
to chronicle the passing of another
year, by shifting the digits not one

two, to mark a new decade, but three
out of a possible four the question is
strongly in the minds of the Ameiican
people: Are we about to begin a new

born, or did we count from "1," num

these two premises, we will neces

sions, at variance with each other one

IlAV4KA,Dec. 15. The Cubanito to
day expresses great satisfaction at the
approaching change in the Cuban side
of the administration, stating that the
hnmre is satisfactory on account of
the character of General Wood, from
whom good government is expected.
Much curiosity is expressed at the
sign'fic ince of the change, most peo
ple inclining lo tbe view that General
Wood ia considered in Washington
the best man for tho place. It is not
expected there will be any substantial
change of policy. The Society ot Vet
erans and other organizations are pre
paring a great ovation for General
Wood on hib arrival. His pronounced
friendly feeling for the Cubans,as well
as bia record at Santiago, appeals
stronglv to popular favor.
