tbs complexion of the situation. Since

NAV be hesItatlng regarding the next
move. The situation In Natal is very
complicated. more especially II the re-
ports be true that the great Tugela
bridge has been destroyed.
The success OF the next move on
either side will depend more on strate-
~ than on superior numbers. The
Boers have three lines OF action open.
They can hold the railway with the
force they have at EnnersdaIe, falling
slowly back before the British advance
and threatening 1t from Weenan. or in
tbe second place, they can advance
from Weenan and try to carry Est
court; or, in the third place, they can
advance due south from Weenan to
Weston, cut the railway and blow up
the bridge over Moot river. II 1t be
true that there are 10000 Beers under
General Joubert. marching south to
meet the British relief force, heavy
fighting is In store.
Nothing IS known with certainty re-
gardlng the progress of the relief col
