that many of the ballots follow each

Dispatches Are Confirmed.

London, Dec 12-The papers Satur-
day afternoon displayed in big type
dispatches from Boer sources stating
that q sortie had been made by the
garrison at Ladysmith, and that big
Creusot gun and a howitzer had been
put out of action. Nothing to cor
roborate this news was received till
Sunday, when a despatch from General
White was given out.
Everything seems to point to the
immediate advance of the relief column
from Frere. The new trestle bridge to
take the place of the destroyed bridge
has now been finished, and trains with
war material are running over it.
Another significant indication is the
news from Durham and Pietermaritz-
burg that twenty-five hundred stretch
er bearers are being enlisted there by
the military authorities.
The greatest enthusiasm at the pros
pect of action is manifested at the
camp. The soldiers are said to be in
the highest spirits.
General Whites position seems now
much improved as the result of the dis
sensiou among the Beers. who are
quarrelling over the division of their
loot, and the moral effect of Gen. Lord
Methuen's successes. An early termi
nation of the siege is now generally
expected.
Further confirmation has come to
hand of the story about the Beers shell
ling the hospitals at Ladysmith. That
the numerous casualties among the
wounded soldiers and the hospital at
tendants could not have been mere
accident is considered certain.
Indignation here has been raised to
white heat by news from Durham
that General White sent message TO
the Boer commander informing him
what had taken place and that Gen.
Jouberts answer was that the British
had no right to use any building in
the town as hospital, a neutral camp
having been set aside for that purpose.
From Naauwpoort camp it is report
ed that Gatacre's general forward
movement will probably not be made
until the Queenstown column reaches
Burghersdorp.
Middleburg is threatened Tut is alert.
The commander appears to have taken
every precaution to protect that place
and the important stretch of railway
to Port Elizabeth.
