British Garrison Laughs.

London, Nov. An immense weight
was lifted from the public mind by brief
official dispatch, by which the continental
stories of disaster at Ladysmith were
proved to be false. But the dispatch It
self revived the anxiety of the more timid
in another quarter, as it indicated that
Gen. White, instead of sitting quietly and
acting wholly on the defensive, as it is
held in many quarters he ought to do, per-
sists in making sorties and risking In
other Nicholsen's Mex disaster.
Generally, however, the CHEEKY tone Of
the dispatch, showing there is no anxiety
at Ladysmith as regards the ability of the
beleaguered garrison to hold its own, has
had an excellent effect on the country.
From the fact that White is able to take
the offensive and shell the Boer camp it
seems Ladysmith is not so slosely besieged
as was supposed.
Not much Importance, however, is at
tached to the Smelling of the Boer lager
as the war office has no confirmation OF
the story that the Orange Free Staters'
camp at Besters has been captured. Were
this true, it might have considerable ei-
feet on the future attitude of the Orange
Free State, which is not so directly con-
cerned in the conflict as the Transvaal.
