.YULE IN DANGER
Of Meeting With Serious Re-
verses Before White Joins
Him-BOers March.
ing On.

LONDON, Oct. 25.-A feeling Of
anxiety over the military situation in
Natal is as keen as ever, despite the
announcement in the house of commons
yesterday that General Yule had
abandoned Dundee and Glencoe and
that Sir George White had moved
north from Ladysmith to join him.
The lack of details relative to Yule's 8
retreat is the disturbing factor. His
abandonment of his wounded at Dur
dee indicates only too plainly that his
movement was hurried one, to say
the least, and befores gaining ground
he may perhaps have met serious re-
verse.
1t is not yet certain that Yule and
White have affected junction OF their
forces. A press dispatch from Cape
town received last night announce d
that they had joined forces, but an Of
fetal dispatch from White made no
mention of the fact.
It is plain now that the reverses
character serious enough to check
their onward progress. They are
pressing on to Lady=mith in two strong
columns and news of e big battle near
there may be expected at any time.
Military men hope that White can
engage the approaching Boer columns
separately before they can effect a juno
tion. Together the Boer columns out
number the British three to one.
News from Msfeking and Kimb berly
is alec anxiously awaited. A report
here this morning had it that Kimber-
ly had been shelled, and that the
besieged garrison sent flag of truce
