night. leading to the supposition that
an attack was imminent.
Beyond the fact that the Beers are
daily receiving fresh endorsements and

new from the front.
The plan of operation on both sides
is slowly unfolding itself. General J5ub-
ert Is evidently moving south to pre-
vent, il possible, a junction of the Brit
ish relieving force with the forces at
Escourt and Ladysmith. while on the
Orange river border the Beers are be-
lleved to be concentrating at DOnker-
pOort TO oppose General Buffers ad-
vance. 1t is said that 5000 Beers have
already laagered at Donkerpoort
The English plan seems to be three
fold advance from Durham to Lady
smith, from Orange river to Kimberley
and from East London, by way of
Queenstown, to Burghersdrop.
