ANXIETY IN LONDON.
Suspicion thnt omcials Are Holdin,

Suspicion that officials Are Holding
Back News Of n Reverse.
London, Oct. e5.-The war Office
this morning is attempting to explain
the summary of the situation in Natal
furnished by the commander-in-chief,
Lord Wolseley, to the commons yester-
day. His statement is said to have ere
ated unnecessary alarm. 1t is assert
ed that what the official note called
General Yule's retirement" would be
more accurately described as "a
changeofpositionfor tactical reasons"
and that the alarm for the safety
of the wounded was not justified. 1t
is further explained that the wounded
could not be moved, but the fact that
they had to be left to their fate while
the British forces made q strategic
movement to the rear shows that the
suspense of the house at the absence of
subsequent news is amply justified and
that the heavy fighting of Friday and
perhaps Saturday was only n prelude
to still sterner work. In some quar-
tiers the view is taken that the second
attack of the Beers has actually oc-
Cured and has been so successful that
General Yule's withdrawal was i'm
perntive and urgent to the extern of
compelling him to leave his hospitals
in the hands of the Beers, while thc

the British force steadily retired until

infantry was sent to drive the I3oer
scouts from the ridge on the right. A
large force of mixed cavalry mean
while swept over the plain and up the

British battery opened fire with good
effect. The British infantry, who had
debarked from the railway train, adj.
