New York December 20 A dispatch to
tho Tribune from London soya A be-
lated Christmas message from 1adysmtth
Was pqsted fa tho war office Tuesday It
wns a three days casualty list wtlh four
deaths from fever and dysentery three
men wounded apparently from shell flro
and on a separate entry ten killed and
sixteen wounded in what looked like a
sortio or rcconholssance last Friday la
which wcre engaged tho Filth L nncer4
> vho fought so well at Elandslnagto tho
remnants of tho Gloucester regiments nnd
the Tenth mountain battery which were
entrapped atNicholsons Nek There were
no details and It was possible that a
British gun had burst or that tho enemys
gunfire had been sufficiently accurata that
day to account for so large a casualty list
but the optimists choso to Inter that Gen
eralWhites men had ngai shown tholr
metal by venturing outside their lines ci
pccally as Lieutenant Colonel Fawcett of
tile Fifth Ldnccrs tho officer apparently
ln command was severely wounded Tnll
regiment was stationed nt PlctcimarU
burg beforo the opening of the war and
has lost heavily In oftlctrtt during the
campaign in Natal
Whether tho Ladysmlth garrison Is
fighting gallantly outside or Is exposed to
a closer and more destructive fire fruu
tho enemys guns these casualty lists
with their fatal cases of typhoid fever are
eloquent appeals to tho British army be-
yond the fugcla to rescue It as spcsdlly
as possible from the prolongation of the
siege
The relief of Ladysmlth has become Gen-
eral Hollers first objective paint and ev-
erything else has been sacrificed to at-
taining that object There is no news
from Bullcrs army and the military writ-
ers ale weary of the thankless buslnes3
of planning his campaign for him at a
dlstanco of 0000 miles especially when
the frontal attack seems the only resource
of British strategy in tho field Tharj Is
general agreement however among ho
military met that an effort to force the
passage of the river will not be at cnp
ed tho second time near Colcnja until lull
control of tho southern bank Is secured
The arrival of tho siege train Is 10
ported at last at Cnpelown The military
authorities have supplied their army In
Africa with a dozen heavy guns ater the
Boers have been dragging siege guns from
the Pretoria forts over Upper Nttal and
across the Veldt to Magersfontein and
Mafeklng and outclassing the British
horso and field artillery It Is not yet
clear whether General Methtun or1 Geneal
Buller will make use of thesu guns la at-
tacking the strongly fortified pol lois In
front of them
An outpost affair Is reported from
then stamped upon him Sullivan says Chicvoly where a picket of Hussars postal
On a hill wero surprised by a parly of 100
Boeri two troopors being killed and flvu
or six horses captured
The Times correspondent at Sterkstroum
desorlbes tlio general attitude of the CaJe
Dutch He says that General GJtajres
rovorses and the news of other Hrllsh
disasters undoubtedly encouraged many
wavcrers to join tho Boer commandos it 1
though the number of those who have
done so is greatly exaggerated Not
loyalty but frar prevents a general up
rising The members of the rand ale
nil disloyal and the population generally
is tho same with rare exceptions Not 10
per cent of the Dutch colonists are in
favor of British supremacy Tbo Free
State and Transvaal Boars however
Papers were read as follows Dr Cyrus I i ml l arc

her of colonials who have taken up arms
against England
The last reservists of all arms and
branches of the service havo been called
upon to join tjieir colors When the sum-
mons hae been answered it wll bo pos
slbl to Judge the effcctlveress of the mo
hlllzatinn scheme us a whole but ap
parently tlm military authorities have
been oversangulne In assuming that three
army corps can be recruited from the firot
lineof tho reserves Tbny will certainly
havo two but a third will havo to bj
pieced out with militia and volunew
It has also hecomo apparent that tho
mllltla whioh has a paper strength of
110000 men Includes 30000 men of ilia
regular army reserve and is scaled down
to 80000 men In an emergency like ho
present one At least 30000 men have ap
peared in two places as reserve nrd a

If Kid McCoy whips Teter Mahcr on Uio
afternoon of January I ho will regain every
bit of the pugilistic glory thnt ho lost by his
defent nt tbo handsof Tom Sharkey Tho
Irish champion unjustly rctts under the
smirch of a tins been and top notclicrs tnku
particular pains tu keep the impression fresti
in the mind ot patterns of tho Hug
They dont tare to llgat him and the beat
way to avoid embarrassing explanations of
llielr failure to tukc bun on is to dismiss
him with tho claim that ho doesnt clant
with he best
A rovlow of Peters record shows that but
two men ever wnlppod linn Dob 1lttsiiu
nions and Joe Cloilanrd arc the omy ilguteio
before whose prowess Mnher wont to the wn
vns for thq fatal couui Unth men Imvo iwo
vletmles to their credit over the hardhitting
lipercscntatlvc of tne Ould Iart In tin
tnjc of Uoddard Mulier has wiped out the
disgrace of his former defeats by flattening
out toe Harrier champion the third tinli
they met Iart of the silpp of Kilts second
victory over hlni Is taken nwny by tho tact
thnt Mnher had not trained n day and was
llattlally blind when he fought him Tnit
light occurred nt Langtry Texas niul Mnher
In the condition he wns known to he wis
a 10 to 1 shot So that in Hoping Mnher that
light Bhould be thrown nut
Matter has no victories over tho hlg ones
to his credit for the simple reason that tioiic
of them have given him n chance He never
fought Oorbctt Jeffries or Sharkey He was
onti in the ring utth the latter but not for
a light Uotn were playing for tho gate ic
celpis They went six rounds of exhibition
the seventh rouud they turned
boxing In
loose for keeps nnd men In accordant1
with a prearranged pnn the contest was
stopped by the police
McCoy has taken Up a Job that nobody else
fancied if the Kid Is In the rugged health
he clnlnis he Is nnd I have uO reason to doubt
him he has a glorious chance tn put leler
on his record
It Is my opinion that the belting on In
MahcrMcCoy tight will be preltv nearly
oven There Is only one line of dope that
gives McCoy a shade tho hest of It The
Kid Rot n declslnn over Qus Ituhllu while
lluhlln fought Mnher o a draw On the other
hand Maher twice whipped Steve OUonucll
with a punch while It took McCoy ftvo ur
six rounds to do It
Joe Goddard the man who twice whlrprrt
Mahcr was whipped In five rounds by Mc-
Coy at Philadelphia In Justice to Mnher
It piust be said that Goddard was not then
ns good a man as ho was when be fought
Peter
Then there Is another line that favors the
Irish champion In New York several ycuis
ngo Mnher knocked out Choynskl In six
rounds In San Francisco ii few months ngo
Choynshl lasted tho limit with McCoy but
the Inter cot the declslnn
Oh paper It Is a Rood match They arc
neailv even I believe thnt McCoy Is not only
the clfvcrer but the harder hitter of the twu
McCoy can not stnnd punishment If Mnher
gets Ir any hard body nunches McCoy will
loso his steam If the Kid lniids close lb the
pic per spot before he sustains any punish-
ment he will net the money McCoy can hit
a harder punch at short range and apparent-
ly with lesseffort thanany man In tho ring
The light should be well worth seeing Un-
der ordinary circumstances It would he n
Kieat fight from n boxoffice standpoint Tho
foct that the fight has been postponed twice
added tothe fact that McCoys condition win
reported as very bad may hurt tho drawing
powers of the affair
