BUTLER IN
OLD POSITION
Londorl War Office Says
He Has Not Crossed
the Tugela

London, Dec. 20.-The War Of
flee definitely denies the rumor that
General Butler is on the north side
of the Tugela River.
A despatch from Durham, Natal,
dated yesterday, says:
General Butler has commenced
moving. A hot engagement is pro-
cceding at Coleuso. No details are
obtainable.
This despatch probably refers to
the battle at the Tugela on Friday.
London, Dec. 20.-A despatch to
the Times" from Modder River of
date of December II says: "a full
moon prevented the use of the
searchlights tonight, but Kimberly
/ availed itself of the eclipse to send
through important dispatches.
"The'present situation is COM
plete deadlock. The Beers .are in
creasing and extending their forth
fcatons on both TANKS, but are un-
able to make an attack. 1t is
equally impossible Tor the British
to turn the Boer flank, which rests
on the river on the east and rapid
ly approaches the river on the west.
General Methuen, in an address
to the Seatorth Highlandcrs, said
that their formation in quarter col
umn was as he desired. He was
sure he could rely on them to re-
peat their heroic sacrifice if neces-
sary.
London, Dec. 20. 1t seems doubt
full whether the guns that General
Butler abandoned at Colenso are in
the possession of the Beers.
According to despatch from
Durham, sent off on the evening of
the battle and which has just been
received here, the guns remained
where they were left by the British
troops and were covered by the
heavy guns of General Hildyard's
brigade, occupying an intrenchcd
position.
The despatch adds that the Beers
have thus far not attempted to cross
the river and carry off the guns,
while advices from Pretoria, under
the same date, say that an official
Boer despatch reports that two
guns, thirteen wagons and a qanti-
ty of ammunition were captured,
besides Dos prisoners.
