LONDON, Oct. 28.-With unconscious
humor Cape Town correspondent tele-
graphs: Tho censorship, which 2is
always delicate matter, 10 working
smoothly and without a hitch" M
This exactly hits of the existing
state of affairs. An ominous veil ID
still drawn over the movements Of ear
George Stewart White and General
Yule. Beyond an indefinite dispatch
concerning . fight at Ladysmith the
British public is left to conjecture over
''cooked" war Office dispatches. Et,.
The officials Of the war Office aid
that very few dispatches had arrived
during the day and nothing further
! was TO be expected until morning. =,
Since it is now practically certain
that General Yule has effected q junc-
ton ith General White conjecture <is
made a. to :
The Cause of His Retreat. =
Was it hasty? Was it disorderly? Was
any considerable camp equippage
abandoned? Was there any fighting on
the way? Such questions ind others
like them the public is anxiously ask
ing. Since the receipt Of General
Whites curious first description of the
Ladysmith fight, in which the British
lost 100 men, little reliance can be
placed on the official dispatches. Whsln
the concealment of the facts regarding
General Yule's retreat can be amply
justified on the ground of keeping the
intelligence from the Beers, the hiding
of the news respecting the Hussars and
Fusileers, who were apparently cor
nered in the battle at Glencoe, is se-
verely criticised, no intimations even
have been given that the officers were
missing.
General Sir Redvers Butler is ex-
pected to arrive at the Cape early next
week and the indications are that some
troops have
Already Arrived at tho Front
and been fighting, whose arrival has
not been announced. There is every
probability that reinforcements are
even now moving up. This is calcu-
lated to hasten Commandant General
Jouhcrt's attack upon Ladysmith and
news of battle is hourly expected.
Half complete army corps is now
afloat and lull has occurred in dis
patching the remainder of General
Bu]lers force owing to some difficulty
in obtaining transports. The mobiliza-
tion and embarkation of $1,000 men,
however, has proceeded with the ut
laosj smoothness and completeness, ex-
tor:i,g admiration from even the &C.:
verest critics of the war Office organiza-
ton.
Although news has arrived that Gen.
era. Sir William Symons is doing we'll,
there is no indication Of his where
nbouts. 1t is presumed that he is at
Dundee in the hands of the Beers.
