Ad,spatch from Chieveley dated Tues.
DAY. Dec. l9, says:
The British naval guns have de-
stroyed the Colenso foot bridge. thus
preventing the Beers holding any posi-
ton south of the Tugela river. The
enemy are taking fresh positions on the
eastern side. The Boer position at
Frere is being strengthened. The Tu-
geIa river is rising and there is a pros.
pect of heavy rains.
"A 2-hour bombardment Of Lady,
smith has been heard from here. Ac-
cording to reliable native reports the
Beers had 200 killed in the fight at Co.
lenso.'
The news that the Colenso foot bridge
had bcen destroyed seems to show that
General Buller is more anxious to keep
the enemy at bay than to attempt a
further advance.
